Smokey And The Bandit

[JohnnyO]

Tonight (Thursday) at 10:00 on Speed Channel the show "American Trucker" will retrace the route from Texarkana to Atlanta from "Smokey And The Bandit" with a few trucks and black Trans Ams

Wasn't as bad as 3 though...

3 was dumb...

 

[The Mud Addict]

Am watching it right now

Didn't Jerry Reed (Snowman) drive the T/A in part 3?

Yeah, Burt wasn't even in the third one. And if he were smarter he wouldn't have been in the second one either. But, at least the second one wasn't as bad as the third one, it was just horrible.

The original was one of the best movies of all time. Lesson is, don't make sequels.

that's what i ment, the other 2 were awful. 2 was bad, 3 was not watchable, i've never even seen it all the way through.

sometimes, you just cant make a sequel.....batman, rambo, ace ventura, those are exceptions, but most others it isnt possible.

True dat.
I can think of a handful of movies where the sequel was as good or better than the original.
The Godfather Part II
Weekend At Bernie's II
Aliens
That's about all I got.

When you said two I thought you meant two...

The secret to sequels is not to try too hard, they tried way too hard to one up the previous move with each Smokey and the Bandit sequel.
