Starring Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Sally Field and Jerry Reed, Smokey and the Bandit delivers outrageous laughs in one of the biggest box-office hits of all time. Bandit (Reynolds), a fun-loving, fast-talking trucker, takes on his craziest haul yet - delivering 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta in just 28 hours. With Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason) hot on his trail and eager to teach him some respect for the law, the Bandit joins forces with good ol’ boy, Cledus (Reed) and runaway bride Carrie (Field). Gear up for huge laughs, pedal-to-the-metal action, and some of the wildest car crashes ever filmed! (Universal Pictures UK)

The Cannonball Run and its sequel, Smokey and the Bandit. Is it just my impression or does Burt Reynolds have a part in the best old-school comedies, where the lead role is played by cars and the supporting role by Burt Reynolds? This is a movie where to call someone a redneck is a compliment and the law exists to be mocked.
