Synopsis:
Bandit and Cledus are two
truck-driving southerners who accept a dare from big-shots Big and Little Enos
to pick up a truckload of beer from Texas and return it to them within a
specified amount of time. Picking it up is simple enough, but as they are
leaving Texas, Bandit unwittingly picks up Carrie, a hitchhiking bride-to-be who
just left her groom, Junior, at the altar. Junior, however, is the son of
Sheriff Buford T. Justice. And when Buford and Junior discover what has
happened, they go on a "high-speed pursuit" across the Southeast to catch the
bandit.
Storminator's Rating: D :
Pros: Decent (for the time period) chase scenes, cheesy bad guy music, Burt
Reynolds. Cons: Just the plot, characters, and dialogue.
The
Freak's Rating: B : I can see where some complaints can come from on
this movie, but for me it is a blast. I had my first on-screen crush on
Sally Field in this one and I can't imagine any boy growing up seeing this movie
that didn't want a Trans Am for his first car (I was lucky enough to get that
one actually :) ).
Whenever I come across this one on
TBS or TNT (on both of which it airs almost weekly), I always stop and watch.
I marvel at the fun that Reynolds and Gleason have on screen and the cuteness
Field outputs. It still holds up decently I feel.
