Smokey & The Bandit Trifecta

I am in redneck heaven tonight-Starz Channel is airing "Smokey and the Bandit" and it's two sequels back to back tonight! I remember seeing this at the drive-in when I was a kid, the original first movie that is, and it is still as much fun 30-odd years later. I can even recall alot of guys back then wearing those faux leather "TransAm" jackets with the stripe on it ala Burt Reynolds. Some of the best lines in movie history can be culled from the movie and the car chase scenes are legend. And its got The Great One, Jackie Gleason! Take a trip back to an era where instead of cell phones, people yakked on CB Radios and with gas cheaper than water, muscle cars still ruled the roads.
