  • RIP Snowman. U were awesome!

  • No! R.I.S. Rest in Speed!

  • The people who dislike this didn't make it there and back in 28 hours

  • 8 people owned those motercycles ran over by the Snowman

  • 8 people had their mailboxes run over by the Bandit.

  • It happens every time them dancers start poontangin around with them show folk fags!

  • i just watched on a old video great film dont make like that no more

  • I THINK it is funny as fuck when idiot's who smoke die from there stupidity!

    "Smoke these they will make you look cool" NO It will make you die younger!

    They have your cash and you have there emphysema.

    HA HA HA HA HA HA!

  • @71shoelover I agree that is not a smart thing, but it's not funny at all, he was one of the most genius singer songwriters in the past 50 years. Everyone has an addiction of some sort, be it little or small, we're human, it's not funny. Albeit, you have one that your not willing to share here on youtube with us all, or you wouldn't be here laughing it up to begin with...

  • @xeridian Sorry no addictions here...Maybe I drink to much coffee but that is about it.

  • @71shoelover i think that your addiction is being an asshole death is not a funny thing no matter what the cause if you died from a shoe up your ass i bet it wouldnt be a laughing matter for your family but your probably one of those people that laughs at family members deaths as well so you r just a miserable asshole and comments like yours are just ignorant

  • @jimmycassidyful Smoking is for faggots and single mum's on welfare benefits!

  • i loved this movie eversince it came out

  • back in the good old days when tires would screech when you did a U-turn on dirt roads...

  • East Bound and Down Snowman!

  • how do they make a truck turn that fast with out fliping

  • Mr. Jerry Reed, I know you hear us from your new home in Heaven, We miss you and we lost another voice of the south!!

    God Bless Mr Jerry Reed, Guess the Saviour needed some Good Music.

    We gone, bye-bye. 7's & 3's

  • this movies kicks some a##!

  • Not to be a jerk but I don't remember the T/A in the movie having the gold wheels, I thought they were silver

  • I dont know much about Jerry Reed, but Smokey and The Bandit was my go to movie when i was a kid. When my mum wanted me to shut up and be quiet for a while she'd asked what movie i wanted to watch: "Smokey and The Bandit" i always replied without fail. God knows how a 5 year old comes across that movie, but im glad i did. Its still my favourite movie to this day and East Bound And Down never fails to cheer me up. So thanks for those Jerry. R.I.P.

  • i watched all 3 Smokey and the bandits the day jerry died.

    i sat myself down and cried for 6hrs straight 

  • Rest in peace Jerry Reed. Your gentle down to earth life has inspired many young people of the 70s to become truckers, your music will be legendary. You had true talent to not only got to be Snowman, but your song Eastbound and down will forever be my favorite song. Thank you for being a part of this life.

  • IT'S NOW THE LAKEWOOD AMPITHEATRE, LIVE & WELL NOT IN RUINS. MY DADDY WORKED IN THE GENERAL MOTORS AUTOMOBILE PLANT IN LAKEWOOD, GA. I WENT TO THE FILMING OF THE MOVIE SMOKEY & THE BANDIT AT LAKEWOOD. MET THE CAST. CLASSIC MOVIE ...

  • IT'S NOW THE LAKEWOOD AMPITHEATRE, LIVE & WELL. MY DADDDY WORKED IN THE GENERAL MOTORS AUTOMOBILE PLANT IN LAKEWOOD, GA. I WENT TO THE FILMING OF THE MOVIE AT LAKEWOOD.

  • Those fairgrounds are in ruins now. They were struggling to keep it open even as the filming was taking place and it shut down not too long after. The roller coaster seen in the background of some shots is gone as are most of the grandstands and concessions. I believe the large auction buildings are still standing, but in bad condition after many years of neglect. The whole area is fenced to keep people out.

  • what is that song? :P

  • in 0:35 its says in 28 hours it is realy 48 hours

  • I know ol Jerrys up in that big rig in the sky with one hand on the wheel and one strummin a guitar with Waylon ridin shotgun go get em boys

  • The Legend here is Jerry Reed

  • Want to know a secret? The movie Smokey and the Bandit was not filmed in Texas or Mississippi. It was all filmed in Georgia. Yeah, they changed the signs, billboards, etc. Would you like to know another little secret also?!? The County Sheriff at the time of the filming of the movie woke up drunk in the middle of the night and thought that he was actually in Texas, poor guy did not know where he was or what to do and that was Sonny Shroyer ( Enos from the Dukes of Hazzard ) on the motorcycle.

  • quite possibly the best movie ever! LOL I was born in 77... grew up loving Bandit and Dukes... call me white trash I guess. My dog's name is Bandit! LOL

  • @drunkondiesel.......Amen brother, my 2 dogs are called "Bandit" and "Snowman" :)

  • Always kind of sad that 'Junior' doesn't get his real name on the trailer credits, I mean they even have a spot for Fred up there but nothing for Junior? ;)

  • i'm gonna barbacue your ass in malasses. haha

  • This movie made the Firebird famous. And Sheriff Bufford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) played their roles to the fullest commedic real possible,

    Thank You all and R.I.P. to those that have past.

  • This movie made the Firebird famous

  • My favorite line "Is she wearing a wedding . . . dress???" "Not any more!" "What's she wearin NOW; come back??"

  • '' theres no way, no way... you could come from my loins''  laugh every time

  • No shit, daddy the top came off is the best!!! God love thid movie. . . as far as I'm concerde it was the best ever!!!!!!!

  • Smokey And The Bandit is MUCH MORE BETTER than Convoy. More funny, more chases, better truck... AND SNOWMAN!

    RIP Jerry Reed, you will never be forgotten.

  • @johnnytruexjr1 convoy is more about the truckers then smokey and the bandit but there both amazing movies and jerry reed will never be forgotten

  • @daveeeee5

    Yeah, exactly. Convoy is a better film, with better plot. But, I prefer so much Smokey And The Bandit 'cause its funny as hell. Plus, it has my favorite actor, Burt Reynolds, and my favorite singer, Jerry Reed. And I think that Sally Field was more cute than Ali McGraw.

  • "Daddy , the roof came off" =))))))

  • Oh they dont..well tell ya what we're gonna do, ha ha ha ha ha.. we're just gonna introduce them to the boy... hold on to your ass fred... R.I.P Snowman

  • Na ha haaaa!

  • RIP Snowman!

  • "da god-damn Germans aint got nuttin'to do wit it!!! "....

  • Did anyone ever notice that the motorcycle cop is Enos from the Dukes of Hazard ??

  • I never paid attention to that. Guess I gotta fire up that movie agian

  • @dwc4343 wow! never noticed that, and I have watched this movie a million times

  • @dwc4343 , Yes I noticed that it was the same actor. who played Enos in Dukes of Hazzard.

  • @dwc4343

    YETH I DID THAT'S SONNY SHROYER WHO PLAYED DEPUTY ENOS STRATE ON THE "DUKES OF HAZZARD"!

  • @dwc4343 ... really? never noticed...

  • @dwc4343 yup sure did

  • @dwc4343 i did

  • @dwc4343 as a matter of fact, yes. It is hard to tell by the face, but the voice is all for sure.

  • ok i always thought that was him and part 2 had cooter at the truck race

  • The fairgrounds where this was filmed where Big Enos and Little Enos get the bandit to do the beer run and where Jerry Reed comes crashing through at the end has been closed for a long time and is overgrown. Nearly everything you see in the background of the scenes filmed there is now gone or in disrepair.

  • That "Front burner and let it cook" line by Jerry Reed has been edited out of every version of this movie I have seen and unfortunately for my wasted youth of police chases just for fun in a Black 1981 Trans Am 305 4 speed, I can still recite every word of this movie.

  • @wappco Could U Help on the"Front burner & let it COOK" Explainition?-"Shay,shonny-cou­ld ya exsphlain that little better pleashe" ;-B) Old man with a lisp Accent... LoooL !! Rothf-LMFAO

  • Cool movie but Convoy is still number one!!

  • jerry reed wrote and played on the very famous and hit song guitar man by elvis presley and many more of his hits. one of the greatest guitar players of this decade!he wrote guitar man...

  • One off the best Trucker Movies .

    RIP Jerry.

    a Fan from Germany

  • Classic movie! Makes me miss my Frirebird, I still can't believe those asshats at GM decided to kill Pontiac off:(

    I have a better idea, no more CEO's getting paid millions of dollars for doing nothing. How about putting the money into the companies for a change instead of wasting it on them?

  • @loveunderlaw uh hello. it wasn't the ceo's that killed off pontiac, it was all the assholes driving jap crap and those piece of shit VW's

  • best movie ever made....can never get enough...RIP Snowman

  • beauford,s son played hot lip,s husband in m*a*s*h*

  • "Catch the meanest, the biggest alligator and just use one hand...that's all he got left cuz the alligator bit em" ;)

  • i agree whit you snowman will never be forgoten

  • Jonesboro Ga, my home town is where a lot of this was filmed. The bridge jump was across the Flint River at Flint River Road. Used to go fishing there lots.

    A forever classic, RIP Jerry Reed!

  • @jamoneeaka Where they picked up the beer,Snowman's house were in Jonesboro.Flint River was on the Jonesboro/Riverdale line.The burnout at the redlight was at state rd 85 and 138 in Riverdale.

  • i love these movies. Southern classics. I love jackie gleason and jerry reed

  • Kenworth/Peterbilt Are great trucks =D I've  owened two.They have survived.Trans Am? that's another story.where they loaded up the beer was filmed in Jonesboro ,Ga -South of Atlanta-My stomping ground

  • RIP smowman

  • 10-4 Snoman

  • Just put that hammer down & give EM HELL.

  • Long live the snowman

  • rip snowman, hope your haulin ass in heaven.

  • brenics77, looks like they may have sped up the video to make the truck look like it was going faster than it was. Look at the dust that is kicked up from the truck and the police cruiser that follows. In real life, plain ole dust doesn't move that fast.

  • RIP Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason.

  • HAHA

  • good old film, i`m a truck driver but how the stunt driver took the corner at 2.10 and never jack-knifed i will never know! the kenworth is hopping it`s so fast. r.i.p. Jerry.

  • great, i have to watch this movie !!!!!!

  • OK 2 thumbs down? my comment is a line from the movie, thank u!

  • The song that starts off this video. The one where he's with Frog on the bridge. What is the name of that song? "They Call him The Bandit"? I've been looking for that song and can't find it anywhere.

  • Jerry Reed- The Legend of the Bandit

  • Funny daddy how a legend and a washed up bumm look a whole lot alike. Haha!

  • I always imagined Jerry Reed was a really cool, nice guy. I really liked him in Smokey & The Bandit - and his tunes were cool.

  • rip jerry reeds keep them gears spining and them bevers grining you will be rembered for ever

  • Or when he kicks them in the ass and says "that's an attention getter".

  • My favorite movie of all time! it dont matter what time of day, where i am,, if im flippin thru the Tv, and this is on any station,, i will watch it.. the movie dosnt even start until the guys are jackin the rims off of sally fields car, and Bufford T. pulls up,, oh man, i fuckin die laughing everytime i hear him say,, " hold up there wise Gentaman"

  • 134 ever heard of a rearview mirror

  • I have been on snow mans truck at a parade in ramona with my friend bobby it was soo fun i met his dog and everything like in 1982 i was like 11

  • for real? you got to see the Peterbilt in real life? even more impressive is that you saw fred the bassethound!, that dog was the bomb!!,, i know it was 27 years ago, but i must say im a bit jealous

  • jerry reed was a happy man, may he res in peace.

  • jeeze i didnt know he died

    "Nya-ha-ha-ha, yeah."

  • i didnt know he died, i brought the dvd box set of all 3 of these movies

  • WOW, the trailer! Thanks for the great post!!

  • great movie and actors, love ya jerry, keep on truckin, see you on the flip buddy

  • RIP Mr. Reed. Hope you can help the poor soul of that Amos Moses fella.

  • I was 16 in `77 and after that flick every guy I knew, including me, would have given his left nad for a souped up Trans Am. In reality, the cars were pretty much mid-70's Detroit junk except for the engine... but damn did they look cool.

  • wtf? Detroit JUNK? are you on CRACK?

  • How can you call those classic 1970s DETROIT IRON junk?-If U got in a wreck with those machines back then U was better protected-(BUILT LIKE A TANK>=)EXCEPT CORVETTE and MONZA's...)-But U R right about few places on those CLASSIC VEHICLES-After 20-30 years those STOCK GM CHEAP PISTONS ENGINES gets to smokin and QUADRA-JET CARBURATORS got reputation for QUADRA*JUNK*(Ah use EDELBROCK as replacements=) Honestly-Whats your reason for calling our heritage USA STEEL CLASSICS JUNK?Modify oringinals

  • Well let's see, the "metallic silver" dashboard was actually a (poorly) glued on piece that started to peel almost immediately. The T-tops leaked so badly they might as well not even been there. The doors were far too heavy for the hinges and before long sagged so badly you had to LIFT the door in order to get it to close properly. Basically, all the materials other than the powertrain, were extremely poor. Squeaks and rattles were the norm.

    But hey, other than that, the cars were awesome...

  • @vincegrey19 That's interesting because my original Black & gold car has the original gold face plates that is just a little faded.The hurst T-tops did suck and that is the reasion i have a non-T-top T/A.As far as the sagging doors,a new set of bushing will do the trick.Let's see my 1977 T/A was $6,600 new and now is worth in the low to mid $20,not a bad investment.People must love those sagging doors,LOL.

  • @OLDSCHOOLHHSEX You know nothing about carbs,if set up right a quadrajet is a great carb.The ones on the 1977 T.A 6.6 are 800 cfm are considered one of the best.The car manufactures were out to make a buck,so they couldn't put Ross or Wiseco pistons and good steel rods in every motor.

  • @MidnightinSavannah I wouldnt say that-I knew enough about those 472 BB V8 cadillac 4 Brrl to dump gas into carburburator to force it to work and got that tired old 1970 DEVILLE 4 DOOR to pull itself out of that damn fields big hole where I'd bought it from! >=) I will always choose Carburator over any EFI than mess around with EFI STAR TREK Teck Wrecks any day-I wont touch anything that has Fuel Injection on it!-Ship these FWD POS go-carts back to Japan

  • Yes. the current cookie cutter pieces of shit from across the ponds are soooo much better. you're nuts.

  • RIP JERRY REED

  • There's no way, no way, that you could come from my loins. I'm goin home to kick your mama in the butt.

    Classic

  • ive seen two versions of that movie the difference is example: "the top came off daddy," buferd says "no shit" in the other one he says "ya dont say"

  • It's censorship.

  • Must have been some really good beer, for 80k minus expenses and risk.

  • wow....do you not get that she was lying?

  • keep the hammer down son we'll see you on the flip side R.I.P Jerry

  • my daddy said he had me watchin this movie back before i knew how to talk, it was my fa vorite then and it pretty much still is.  r.i.p jerry

  • Jerry was the man SnowMan RIP wow Sally was hot

  • just aint the same in my life with out jerry gone

  • man that sucks snowman u will be missed

  • THATS THAT COACH FROM WATERBOY

  • I saw this movie in the theatre in 1977. Jerry Reed said, "In the morning, I got to go to Conyers, and pick up a load of manure," and Burt Reynolds says, "Shitty job." The audience fucking ROARED like it was the funniest goddamned thing they'd ever heard. And you know what? It was. Believe it or not, there was a time when movies were fun. That was before Sean Penn and Ang Lee started shoving all their mournful shit at us. This movie deserved an Academy Award a hell of a lot more than "Milk."

  • Rest in Peace

    SNOWMAN (or) Jerry Reed

  • Rest in Peace SNOWMAN (or) Jerry Reed

  • It bummed me out when I recieved word that he had died. Anyway, Jerry was a brilliant singer, actor, and guitarist. In the words of Forrest Gump, "If there's anything you need, I won't be far away."

  • Ok, I have heard that the original Trans Am is in some museum; does anyone know what happen to the truck or the trailer?

  • prob also in a museum or sum1 bought the truck,trailer and TRIGGER and keeps them restored all the time

  • Rip Snowman i will always remember you

  • i will forever love this film

    RIP Jerry Reed
