Not bad for a modestly budgeted production with a bizarre premise that will have to be explained in full to future generations. Constructing a zesty ride of car stunts, interstate shenanigans, and full- bodied star power, director/co- writer Hal Needham makes a splash with his helming debut, introducing his cartoon touch with this undeniably entertaining chase picture. There are no droids, aliens, or disco, but "Smokey and the Bandit" has a pronounced Southern charm and smash- em fervor that aids in the digestion of an otherwise overly silly enterprise that's way too permissive with its on- screen talent. Looking to wet their whistles with a little Coors beer during a Georgia truck rodeo, tycoon Big Enos (Pat Mc.

Cormick) and son Little Enos (Paul Williams) have come to renown driver Bo "Bandit" Darville (Burt Reynolds) with an offer. If Bandit can retrieve 4. Coors from Texas and return the foamy treasure to Georgia in 2. Bringing in his truck driving pal, Cledus "Snowman" Snow (an appealing Jerry Reed), for assistance, Bandit begins the lengthy journey across state lines, depending on his skill behind the wheel and a network of CB radio buddies to help reduce interest from various forms of law enforcement. On his way back from Texas with the brew, Bandit encounters Carrie (Sally Field, cute but forgettable), a woman in a wedding gown standing in the middle of the road. Picking up the runaway bride, Bandit unknowingly attracts the attention of Buford T.

Justice (Jackie Gleeson), a blustery Texas cop whose son, Junior Justice (Mike Henry), was planning to marry the eager altar escapee. With Justice in hot pursuit, Bandit and Snowman concentrate on survival, racing through the south at top speed while encountering a series of motorists and roadblocks, while Carrie finds herself falling for the confident driver, unable to resist his charm, skill, and taste in cowboy hats. A former stuntman, often noted as one of the best in the entertainment industry, Needham makes for a questionable director.

Smokey and the Bandit" is not a film guided by a domineering creative force. It's a moonshine- splashed lark held together by a relaxed sense of humor and appreciation for southern culture, helping to cement the "good ol' boy" subgenre that would come to hold drive- in cinemas hostage for the remainder of the 1. There's nothing especially taxing about the feature, which is a major component of its appeal, essentially asking viewers to sit back and enjoy screen time with a merry mustached prankster as he dashes around the lower corner of America evading cops, orchestrating accidents, and trading lines with a bobblehead of an antagonist. There's a romance of sorts here with the character of Carrie, but she's primarily a dashboard decoration, used as a force of bug- eyed screen reaction when the Trans Am finds itself in precarious positions of pursuit. It's truly a brain- dead movie, but that's not a criticism, just the truth. Without any indication of the journey's timing or position on a map, there's honestly nothing to think about while watching "Smokey and the Bandit." This effort is all about car crashes, pearly whites, and Gleeson clowning around with seasoned flair.

As a stunt show, "Smokey and the Bandit" is outstanding, keeping the viewer charged up with demonstrations of speed and collision, with one terrifying encounter between Justice's car and Snowman's truck a little too close for comfort, displaying a sliver of filmmaking recklessness that flavors the viewing experience. Needham is most confident when focused on destroying cars, having a ball constructing sequences that emphasize the daredevil nature of the production, with automobiles launched into the air with abandon, generating a real- world Hot Wheels playground for audiences to marvel at. It's a fun movie to watch, especially when locked in pursuit mode, leaving long sections of the feature to roaring engines and smart- aleck behavior. And who better to embody the spirit of the world's coolest driver than Reynolds, here at the pinnacle of his screen appeal in a role that requires more instinctual mischief than legitimate acting. The man even breaks the forth wall and gets away with it. Sorcery! Tearing through a Bicentennial- celebrating landscape with a smirk and a reservoir of quips, Reynolds keeps "Smokey and the Bandit" humming along, adding a nice contrast of cool to Gleeson's bubbling irritability, which Needham lingers on for much too long during certain red- faced explosions of rage. It's best to remain with Burt, watching the Bandit raise exaggerated hell while cheered on by a nation of CB enthusiasts and their communication lingo (don't ask me what "choke and puke" truly means), submitting such an extraordinary vehicular effort to bring Coors to the people of Georgia.
