This is Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason at their prime. Burt is the Bandit, and Jerry Lee Lewis is the Snow Man. Together they will try to run from the Atlanta Speedway to Texarkana, Texas, and pick up a truckload of Coors beer, and return in 48 hours. the prize is $80,000! There's only two problems; 1) It's never been done before, and, 2) Coors isn't legal in Georgia, so if they get caught, they will be charged with bootlegging and go to jail. They made the bet with Big and Little Enis Cabell. Now they are ready to roll, Snow Man at the wheel of the truck, and the Bandit at the wheel of the Jet Black Trans Am blocking car. They get to Texarkana without a problem, load the beer, and take off for Georgia. This is where the trouble begins. . . Bandit picks up a hitch hiker in a wedding dress. . .She skipped out on her wedding to Junior. . . It just happens that Junior is the son of the Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), and "nobody makes a possum's tit out of Sheriff Buford T. Justice"! Now with Bandit is Frog (Sally Field), who just couldn't go through with the wedding to Junior, being chased by Sheriff Justice and Junior, in "Hot Pursuit", and Snow Man coming up the rear. This is a funny movie and was filmed back in the time of muscle cars, C.B. Radios, Hot Rods. TV shows like C.H.I.P.S. and Mission Impossible, Sanford & Son, and The Beverly Hillbillies, and the Dukes of Hazard were popular. This movie was as much as a infomercial for Pontiac Trans Am, Coors Beer, and Stupid small town cops and Sheriffs. The movie was funny and the driving sequences were wild. Burt was Burt and Jackie Gleason was really funny. This movie will appeal to young teenagers, those over twenty-five, and especially to the 18-23 year old bunch with no teeth and lots of tattoos.Read full review

This movie is a classic for those who love good car chase movies and the HD-DVD version has a lot of extras that really add to the movie. The picture quality was good though not as great as new HD-DVD's but that was to be expected but still a blast to watch in HD with HD surround.
