You gotta love how Snowman was the one who spent half of the film worrying that it couldn't be done and fussing that they were behind schedule, and right when the chips are down and it's the Bandit who's about to call it quits, Snowman's the one who gets the job done.
And i think this scene shows what good of a plan this really was. Even Bandit forgot that he only had to make this about himself so Snowman could lay low and do his part of the job. But Snowman never forgot that and played that final card like a charm.
I always think of this as Snowman's Han Solo moment. Bandit is Luke about to get destroyed. But his guy buddy with a big ole freight truck saves the day.
And all of his lines were adlibbed. Nobody knew that Fred was going to just strip off his collar & go for a nekkid swim during one of the filming breaks but Hal Needham had a camera running & used the footage. When you work with The Great One,everyone ups their performance.
@@doughesson That is 100% true. Fred was known for offbeat antics as well, like drinking the Snowman's beer when he wasn't looking, and peeing on his seat before he sat down.
Shame it was all ruined on the BluRay release. When they "remastered" it for BluRay, the 40+ year old filmmaking and the audio of the movie didn't hold up so they over-dubbed a lot of the sound effects with generic sounds from various other movie muscle car sound effects in the studio catalog.
Well yeah...snowman was their ace in the hole. This was HIS moment to shine, so what better way to introduce the snowman than to have it ALL about him and his truck.
My father was a truck driver And I will never forget the day we saw this movie in the theater. God bless him and all the good laughs we had. Very good movie. God bless all truck drivers and drive safe.
I think Hal Needham himself drove the truck during stunts. I think Cary Lofton was a stuntman in this too he had experience driving truck in Speilbergs movie Duel
@@dodge8802 Well of course it's not loaded and most likely slightly weighted to one side to keep it from flipping during the turn. It's old Hollywood magic. Like when he crashes through the cop cars. Looks closely at the before during and after. Before he hits the cars he's just a KW W900, When he hits the cars, still a KW W900 but with a bull bar on the front. After he goes through them, no more bull bar. It was like this for so many old time shows and movies. A-team, anytime the Van jumped the headlights of the van would turn from Square to round and the van would be a MUCH older model. B.J. and the bear? Anytime B.J. had to crash through something his KW K100 would suddenly have it's front bumper extended 3 feet out in front of it. They were things you tended to miss in the moment, but would see after the fact when you revisit it later on.
Forty-three years ago and still going strong. Smokey and The Bandit (1977) was the only film to give Star Wars a run for its money that summer and well into that fall. Half of my affection for this movie is from nostalgia with the other half from my belief that Smokey and The Bandit is timeless entertainment.
For my 12 birthday,I didn't want to go see that space movie but my sisters thought that Harrison Ford was cute so I didn't get to see Smokey & the Bandit until later that summer.
Yeah,but the Bandit should have kept on drawing attention from the police while Cletus kept on to the race track to finish the run. Damned artistic license.
projects but it's not, everything I've found says two of the trucks used for the movie were Cummins powered, and the 3rd was a V8 cat, most likely a 3208.
Rest in peace Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, and Burt Reynolds. You brought so many smiles to so many faces with this movie. Still watch it every year the weekend of July 4th with several friends from back in those days. We've lost a few of them over the years too.
@@joelong1159 there were 3 trucks used, one was a 1973(you can see the gold hood emblem) then there was a 74 and a Canadian model(look for the more uncommon air cleaner caps) there is quite a bit of info on these in the movie data base. One truck did have a cat 1693, the one in the opening start up was a cummins 2 stroke vt-903. I believe the other was a inline 6 cummins. The cummins 2 stroke has a more mellow sound than the Detroit 2 strokes but you can still tell it apart from 4 stroke. Might be easier for me since I own a few vt-903 trucks
Love this movie. One of grandpa's favorites he will watch this on a movie marathon weekend when I stay with them. Between his classic movies and grandma's home cooking I have a blast.
doughesson Because aside from speeding the truck was driving normally on highways whereas the trans am was going around on backroads being constantly chased etc. In real life that’s the “blocker” technique of bootlegging just highly exaggerated you do a bunch of things that the cops go look into as being problems so that another vehicle full of whatever you’re bootlegging doesn’t even get noticed even if it’s speeding
@@jaysmith1408 Across 4 states,though they never got more than 50 miles from Atlanta during filming? I've never gone that far & had the same bear bait around me. But then I only drove 18 wheelers for 4 months. The rest of my OTR experience is in buses & crew vans.
You knew that truck was the star right from the opening scene it was all about that 18 wheeler They didn't even show any peoples faces it was just the truck
they had to custom build a stunt double which was souped up and stiffened enough to pull a high speed turn like that without flipping, and the stunt driver still did it on the absolute edge of the limit. it was a one take shot.
Probably my fave scene in the movie as that rig enters the fairgrounds in a high-speed turn.. Can't say I know much about driving trucks, but that was some serious driving skills on display. Just an awesome movie from beginning to end.
In 2016, Trans Am Depot, a Florida-based automobile customization company, announced that it would build 77 Trans Ams that would be modeled after the car that Reynolds drove in the 1977 original, despite Pontiac having been discontinued by GM in 2009. These new models were built off the Camaro platform (the very same one that the real Firebird and Trans Am used), came with Pontiac arrowhead, flaming bird and Bandit logos, as well as instrument panels, center consoles and hood scoops emulating their 1977 counterparts, and were signed by Reynolds. Some differences included the use of a supercharged 454-cid (7.4-liter) Chevrolet-sourced engine that put out 840 HP, and four round headlights, which appeared on the 1967-69 Firebirds/Trans Ams only; the actual 1977-81 models had rectangular headlights
Burt's made alotta' movies and this and "The Longest Yard" and "Deliverance". They have to be his three best movies,it'd be difficult to put these three in order.But I plan on spending tonight watching these three again.😊😊😊
Fred was a pound rescue before the term was coined. Burt Reynolds said that dog pounds for the surrounding counties around Atlanta were emptied when the producers announced that they were looking for a local dog for the movie. People wanted to have a famous dog & brought any dog that they could to the casting call
Now that makes more sense. I never figured what he meant by that, or if instead of the full 80 grand, he gave them the Caddie as partial payment and owed 68 grand instead.
The character was described as being ridiculously wealthy. He had huge houses, farms, boats, etcetera. Not surprisingly he owned a huge number and variety of motor vehicles.

The trans am may look mean rollin down the highway by herself. But that truck cruising along next to it with cops all around behind. Gives me goosebumps everytime.
I've made that turn myself plenty of times that truck was doing maybe 10-15 MPH during that scene trust me it wasn't moving much faster than that. Heck the 90 degree corner in Cleveland is rougher than that on I-90 so is the corner in Kansas City you have to take for 35
My favorite scene in the movie took place after the motorcycle gang beats up The Snowman. Yeah, real MEN, those bikers...took all of THEM to beat HIM up. But then, not to despair, it took only The Snowman and his mighty rig to get back at ALL of THEM!
I notice different brands of cars used as cop cars I’ve never seen before. But, we will probably never be able to make a film like this, again. 1:47-that’s still my favorite part of making that semi do that hi-speed turn
Only problem is that's just a sound effect added in when they remastered the movie audio. It's a 350 Cummins sound effect. This truck actually had a CAT 3408 in it I believe. Either way it still sounds badass.
TommyGunnz8427 And you think that a few steel bars would protect the parts of the truck's front end they did not cover? They're steel bars! Not force fields.
alinkyng the weight of the truck + speed makes it easy to push those cars aside, because they could be pushed aside the steel bars didn't had to absorb all the energy of the hit, unlike with a collision with a solid wall which would have caused the front-end to go to hell.
alinkyng Not as poor as your attention to my comment. i said the truck they USED! different truck you fucking moron! as far as the steel bars, I had forgotten what they were called at the time. google Moose bumper. they're designed to take frontal impact and have enough surface area to shove a STEEL car from the 70's out of the way without having fragments obliterating the motor. (i'm sure the tractor had some damage) and now, back to my original point. they used a different truck for that scene!!
You gotta love how Snowman was the one who spent half of the film worrying that it couldn't be done and fussing that they were behind schedule, and right when the chips are down and it's the Bandit who's about to call it quits, Snowman's the one who gets the job done.
Well, they'd gotten that far,hadn't they?
Why not keep going & see what happens?
💯💯💯💯🤘✊
And i think this scene shows what good of a plan this really was. Even Bandit forgot that he only had to make this about himself so Snowman could lay low and do his part of the job. But Snowman never forgot that and played that final card like a charm.
I know it's just a movie but, I guarantee you that you'd have at least one punctured tire from mowing down the bikes at the Petrol 76 station.
I always think of this as Snowman's Han Solo moment. Bandit is Luke about to get destroyed. But his guy buddy with a big ole freight truck saves the day.
Fred was one of the greatest dog actors since Lassie. That poise, that deadpan... and not once did he break character.
Most of the time during filming, Fred was dog tired.
And all of his lines were adlibbed.

Yep!
Both him and Burt Reynolds had some serious chaotic energy. In fact, the whole cast of this movie did.
Yes!! Exactly!

Whoever is driving that 18 Wheeler is one hell of a good driver. He takes both sharp turns like a bat out of hell and kept the truck on the road.
I think Hal Needham himself drove the truck during stunts. I think Cary Lofton was a stuntman in this too he had experience driving truck in Speilbergs movie Duel
Only problem is anyone who has drove truck will tell you if that trailer was loaded it would have flipped in that 90 degree turn
No. Hal didn't drive it. One of my friends worked on the Movie in Georgia.

I didn't grow up in the 70s I grew up in the early 2000s when I was about 13 I fell in love with the movies haven't seen the third one yet tho
It is horrible compared to the first.
@@davidhoffman1278 Yea I did watch It and now It's one of the movies I choose to forget
got to give it up 1:45 helluva turn
Fred is the best dog!
Smokey and the bandit is one of my favorites of all time besides the orginal Star wars film a new hope.
That year the only movie to beat Smokey and the bandit in box office sales was Star Wars
From 0:43 to 0:59, I discovered that’s the same truck sound effects used in the movie DUEL directed by Steven Spielberg.
1:57
Big and Little Enos are some lucky SOBs
Luck got nothing to do with it. They are rich. Women follow money like flies.
Like filthy rich.
Snowman and bandit together AGAIN RIP ☹️ my favorite childhood movie what made me be a truck driver
That truck's grill must be made of some sci fi super metal, there's not a scratch on it after all that ramming.
look closer. the truck they used to ram the patrol cars had re-enforced steel bars in front of the grill.
TommyGunnz8427 And you think that a few steel bars would protect the parts of the truck's front end they did not cover? They're steel bars! Not force fields.
alinkyng the weight of the truck + speed makes it easy to push those cars aside, because they could be pushed aside the steel bars didn't had to absorb all the energy of the hit, unlike with a collision with a solid wall which would have caused the front-end to go to hell.
rik veenstra Your understanding of the physics involved is amazingly poor.
alinkyng Not as poor as your attention to my comment. i said the truck they USED! different truck you fucking moron! as far as the steel bars, I had forgotten what they were called at the time. google Moose bumper. they're designed to take frontal impact and have enough surface area to shove a STEEL car from the 70's out of the way without having fragments obliterating the motor. (i'm sure the tractor had some damage) and now, back to my original point. they used a different truck for that scene!!
I like how they put the bull bar on the truck when it rammed through the cop cars.
