It's good to find old junk, especially watching it for the first time. A collection of 70s icons (Burt Reynolds chasing Farrah Fawcett with his dumb laugh, Roger Moore playing a Roger Moore wannabe, Peter Fonda a biker, and Adrienne Barbeau just being... Adrienne Barbeau) in a movie with almost no story whatsoever, is a pure reflection of how simple and fun films used to be. But then again, knowing that half these people are dead (just go through the list), makes you feel old. Must've been considered trash for its own time, but for me, it was time travel.

Trash? Are you kidding? That movie is a classic right there. I still see SDJ, shaking his head, saying "you're sick" on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteGood; at least I don't feel alone at enjoying this. I bought it on Amazon as soon as I watched it. Waiting for it to arrive.
DeleteDo you recommend the sequel?
oooh. That's a tough one. But if you haven't seen the original "Smokey and the Bandit", I would definitely recommend that one.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen that one either! Will go for it soon.
