[coolsmile2]

best movie ever and best song as well. no one can ever catch the bandit :)

[2536223]

I like this song and the movie he played in Jerry Reed.....

[MrLorettafan]

Boy this is a great song I remember riding down the road in my dads rig listing to this and Convoy lol and now I play banjo and sing this and I drive trucks myself and I love how this was uploaded two days after my birthday :)

[arbitraryInteger]

480p gives much better sound quality

[iluvusven]

jerry reed is a legend

[peterpan197281]

This is a great song from a great era folks.

[champ75kart]

I always said I wish I grew up in this era... Ya'll had all the fun..

[curvy71]

this is my husband and stepson favorite movie.

[TheRoes165]

I am 15 years old and I've loved this song since I was little because my grandpa's a trucker and I used to go with him everywhere!!!:)

[rustyoneify]

I SAW IT THE YEAR IWWAS IN THE HOSP.THAT SUMMER IT CAME OUT AT DRIVEINS, RUSTY

[badnaughtys]

i`ve known this movie and song by heart FOR YEARS!!!

[HawgtiedXX]

not a day goes by where I do not drive by the warehouse in Texarkana, Arkansas where they came to get the Coors beer..it still stands as it was, although the Coors distributorship has moved about a half mile down East 3rd street from the old warehouse....people forget that back then, Coors only shipped their beer cold and would not ship any further east than Texarkana, U.S.A.

[krazylegs1966]

@HawgtiedXX My Dad & I "bootlegged" five cases of Coors shorties back to North Carolina so his brothers could have some!!

[101epv]

i like truck songs

[ynot0714]

Saw the movie the first night it played in the cinema with my two brothers. I was 14. A classic!!

[memphistigers777]

great movie or greatest movie?

[hellrazer776]

i'm 30 and i seen this movie more times than i can count i love it

[TheSupersample]

I find it hilarious that this movie is rated pg shows how much times have changed

[TheJer1963]

I loved the movie as a kid back in 1977. It sucked to have grown up and found out that black 77 Trans-Am came stock with 180HP. The real muscle cars died after 1972.

[TheGator1972]

@TheJer1963 My 75 charger had a 250 hp 360 but it wasn't enough so dropped in a 650 hp 400 elephant with a 4 bbl took 2 days and a few mods to fit

[ROADMAP317]

It's it would be aired today

[kubotaman85]

how can anyone dislike this movie? its so freaking funny at parts

[Metalmonster56]

Try listening to this song and have to stop at scale lol

My good god i always wanted to just zip on by while this song was playing LOL

Great trucking song :)

[slicked25]

SEC movie. 

[BigHairyFatGuy]

I saw 1&2 on tv earlier,that trans am...is just...so...gorgeous. Wish I could find me one...I'd dump a bigger engine other things into it because it's too slow.

[94fulLmp]

i still love it



[rhellhound666]

Good ol bandit the most loved criminal in america

[zx1400a7f]

Neer Beer!

[sevenfingers2001]

Every time I hear this song I think about when we used to run Coors from Texas to South Carolina for our friends

[LadyDeerskin]

I first saw this on TV, sometime in the early '80s, and was grateful for the language editing....i had no idea what a mouth Gleeson had on him. bleah! if the rest of the movie wasnt so hysterical, he would have ruined it all by himself. what was the rating on it, back then? or was there even a rating system then?

[voiceofelijah2012]

@LadyDeerskin you need to keep in mind that this was in the late 70's and it reflected another time and another mindset in america. This movie would NEVER get made today or even get aired in today's climate.

[Comrick317]

That Bandit is a menace.

[guitaryoder1]

Fuck X-box. I had Tonka trucks, Stompers, T-Racers and Hot Wheels. The 70s were ALL about BIG trucks and muscle cars. Kids have nothing but shit now.

[C0BR4EL1TE]

@guitaryoder1 After watching Smokey and The Bandit I decided to sell my xbox and bought a nice truck (:

[chevyisgay379]

@guitaryoder1 and those toys didnt break in two weeks like they do today. Everything is made so cheap these days.

[curvy71]

@guitaryoder1 my stepson was raised te same way when he was little all he wanted to do was haul dirt in his Tonka on our hillside.

[HRC0051]

@guitaryoder1

 I STILL have all my Tonkas and Hot Wheels...and my Tonka trucks are STEEL!!!!

[kdrifter340]

r.i.p Jerry Reed

[pg1171]

For some reason, I just can not drive 55 while listening to this song! My foot gets a mind of it's own. And yes, Coors WAS illeagle east of the Mississippi river. I was born in '64. I grew up when all of this stuff was happening. Believe it or not, my MOTHER took me to see this movie when it came out! Yep! She was cool, still is!

[4624tone]

"bringin Coors back cross da mississippi, thats a bootleggin" LOL, Great vid man

[zx1400a7f]

NeerBeer! Long before my time!

[huntfishnick]

0:05 such a sexy car

[Neilacousticcolley]

What a film!!! Loved this as a child, also cannonball run 1,2,3 and bmx bandits. Ahhhhh it was good to be a innocent child! Now I'm a adult it's bullshit! Tax's,bills ect I want to be 9 again lol

[famallslive]

rip jerry

[salesmilton]

Jerry Reed was a bad-ass!

[Camaro4211]

"YOU SUMBITCHES COULDN'T CLOSE AN UMBRELLA!!!"

Jackie Gleason was absolutely hysterical in this movie

[Alcohollica1966]

@Camaro4211 Jackie Gleason was the MAN!!! Talk about racist!!! Ha Ha!!! He was old school!!! Shut up Junior, I'm going home to kick your Momma in the ass!!! LOL!!!

[Todaylight]

Oh my gosh- here in switzerland we can buy and drink some hundreds of national and international beers all over the 50-, 60- and 70- ties.

[Countryboy27ish]

Love this movie!

[Tburg1958]

One little error Alcohollica. Coors was never illegal. The reason we couldn't get it east of the Miss. was due to the fact that Coors didn't put in additives to keep it fresh. Our company plane used to load up with Coors every time it flew into Denver and hauled it back to Illinois.

It was a truly great beer then but not near as good now.

[Alcohollica1966]

@Tburg1958 Beg to differ bro', Coors WAS illegal in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, etc...That was the whole idea behind "Smokey". Not a "Redneck" movie, as such. I grew up in that era. Born in 1966, and saw quite a bit. Still remember people being in an uproar in '75 for busing black kids to white schools, and whites to black areas. My High School had 6 blacks in it. Can still name them all. KISS was king,....White was right..

[Alcohollica1966]

@Alcohollica1966 had Kiss posters, blacklights, ........back when Ted Nugent was with "The Amboy Dukes" WANGO TANGO BABY!!!~!! :)

[KB4QAA]

@Alcohollica1966 Coors was not "illegal" in the East. Coors chose not to see it for two reasons: initially because Coors was not pasturized and it was harder to keep it fresh the further it was trucked from Colorado, and 2. for marketing reasons.

[parrarulz1]

rip Jerry reed you will be miss

[Contakum]

It's hard to believe this great song only made it to #2 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

RIP Jerry Reed.

[pattycat100567]

It doesn't get better than Jerry Reed and a '78 Fire Chicken.

[24preacherboy]

There are 4 guys out there that must be gay communists for giving this a thumbs down.

[Alcohollica1966]

@24preacherboy GAY?!?! ARE you for real?!?!?!? This all hooks in with Uncle Nugent....WANGO TANGO BABY!!! Have you heard it?!?!?! You need to be at LEAST 40!!!! Eat me some pussy!!!! LOL!!!!

[Alcohollica1966]

"WANG DANG, SWEET POONTANG".....So sweet when she yanks on my meat.....

[24preacherboy]

@Alcohollica1966

You sound like a butt hole after its owner ate a case full of beans.

[pc1116]

Thank you for uploading this one of my favs allways gets my blood flowing

[TemplarRican]

Undoubtedly Burt Reynold's finest cinematic work! LOL

I love this movie! I'd watch it everytime it'd come on TV.

I'd be glued to the set and I never ever got tired of it.

I realized my dream of being The Bandit once (kind of)

when I found myself escorting one of my work trucks while I drove

my blood red 1984 Trans Am with an 87' Formula body & T-Tops.

LOL

[jvowood]

he shoud just chop that wood south bound and licken

[MrHissingcockroach]

Remids me of the time I was going Ga Ga for Emma Watson ! At first, I couldn't find a Girl !

But once I found Emma, I liked her so much that I could drink all of my problems away !

I don't know what's worse, not being with her or not being with my beer ?!

[JJMNStar]

alright after readin comments, and growin up watchin this movie in the 90's, i have one uestion i need answered...why the hell were certain beers illegal in certain places? like wtf did our fucked up government do this time?

[doughesson]

@JJMNStar Actually,Coors WAS legal East of the Mississippi at the time.They just didn't market it in some areas like the Bible Belt.

I was watching a show on Speed Channel the other night where they recreated the run between Atlanta and Texarkana.One tidbit the host brught up was that they stayed within 30 miles of Atlanta during filming.What a letdown.

[Smackdaddy9]

@doughesson ThankGod that you looked at a TV! There was no Coors East back then and you are a cunt

[doughesson]

@Smackdaddy9 It was a marketing decision,not a law.When visiting my uncle un Oklahoma,my Dad would load up a couple cases in the back of the car for when we got back to Tennessee.One time,we got pulled over after crossing back into Tennesee and the cop never raised an eyebrow about it.

Even when Coors started being sold East of the river,they mentioned that there had been no laws against it.

Bet you wish you'd been alive then to know that.

[wolfclaw223]

you are right ...i remember when coors beer was illegal in arkansasn had to go .. to oklahoma to get it. OKlahoma still has shitty beer

[baldy194859]

BANDIT is my CB handle on my radio in my car. i had it since 1977.

[timbit20111]

that was the best movie ever. The Snowman was a legend..

[banditsno1fan]

best MOVIE EVER !!!!!

[panzerrat]

I'm glad to know hat you're older. Sill, awesome song and album. Hot Damn!!!!!!!

[LadyDeerskin]

[WelakaWombat]

@LadyDeerskin must have been in your late teens when you saw it.. I saw it at the theater when I was 9 and am only 43

[Midnightrunner369123]

This is a Guilty Pleasure song for me. I think it jams.

[thefailmaster357]

bufered tea justice disliked this vid

[STITCHESMAN]

I just seen a little bit of the 2nd movie, I thought it was awesome and I pray to god that if the bring it back,that the wont ruin this classic.

[avionicswirenut]

Good old 70's TA...Unlike the more modern trans ams that are pieces of plastic shit, the 70's TA's had style....RIP Jerry....

[angelo062367]

rip jerry(snow man)reed you made the smokey and the bandit movies realy fun to watch

[DavidicAirTime]

Fuck that front license plate on the trans am...the North won that war 300 yrs ago!

[winrip]

You might have to go back to 2nd grade... The Civil war ended in 1865, hardly 300 years. And it was just a movie, get over it.

[johnnysherry]

@DavidicAirTime dude that flag reps the south.... and heritage not hate live love laugh everyone stop fighting please this world is fallin apart im 6foot 3 300 pounds and just the internet arguin breakin me down lets show we can get along please

[illmadeknight]

@DavidicAirTime Yes, the North won the war 150 years ago, but you are missing the point. The North did not just roll into the South and whip tail. The South put up a fight, and any Southerner can be proud that we put up a good fight even if we lost. Did the South have negative marks against it? Sure it did, but the North was, and is, certainly not squeeky clean. There is enough dirty history for all of us. Plus, the flag on the Trans Am is the former Georgia flag which makes sense for the movie.

[102cl]

little bit of fly shit on the dash at 1:27

[tinleytom]

Back before CSA and CDL all you needed was aset of bingo stamps a fast TRACTOR TRAILER and TRUCKIN was good now a days to many poltics

[mrklr650a19]

@Kolton4500 it maent alot to me last night when i plowed youre wife like a tractor

[roadrashtn]

awsoommmmmmmeeeee



[rocksmeller99]

we had people in our area who went to St. Louis to pick it up in the early '70s. I'd had never heard of Coors then. I understood that it was only distributed as far as where they could send refrigerated delivery trucks from the brewery in Golden. btw, Golden brewery is a good tour.

[sniperkiller105]

i love this video

[WielkiBialyKrolik]

I find it hard not to dance to this xD

[Alcohollica1966]

For those of you that think this is a redneck movie....you're WRONG !! In the 70's, 3.2 beer was all you could buy in the states. People smuggled beer from all over, especially, Molson's, from Canada, because it was more potent. Believe it or not, COORS beer was illegal east of the Mississippi River. This movie was about making the run to get it, and bring it to Atlanta...Great movie

[JBT3168]

@Alcohollica1966 , Yeah Buddy!!

[Georooney]

@Alcohollica1966 And then there was good old Uncle Ben's beer from BC that weighed in at 8%!

[TheTroubledwolf]

@Alcohollica1966 this movie is the best

[TheSteelersrock1010]

@Alcohollica1966 i am a city slicker and i love this movie ..i see this movie so many times i can quote word for word beginning to end ....and your right this movie is just about making a run that's 800 miles there and 800 miles back and they got to truck coors beer illegally across state lines with out being busted by the law and do it all in 28 hours and if they do they get 80.000 dollars ..what's red neck about this movie ? NOTHING.....this is a great great movie

[TheJer1963]

@Alcohollica1966 Coors beer is pasteurized and that is why it was illegal to take it east of the Mississippi. It had to always be shipped in a reefer. Great movie. Saw it when it first came out. Also grew up to find that 77 Trans Am only had 190hp. I miss those good ol' days for sure.

[rawphotoart]

@Alcohollica1966 You couldn't be more wrong. You could not get 3.2 beer in Massachusetts. 3.2 beer was for people between 18 and 21 years of age in some states, like Ohio. In Massachusetts the age was 21 and up. No reason for 3.2 beer and therefore none was sold here.

[Alcohollica1966]

@rawphotoart Bro'... I don't know where you are from,....but in the 70's you COULD NOT get anything more than 3.2 beer in the U.S.....That was the whole idea behind "Smokey and the Bandit"....My Uncle was a cop in Ohio for 26 some years. They used to go to Canada foe Molson's because that was what you could get then. They flew in by plane to "fish" for pike, etc....Do your research....3.2 was what you could get......that's all.

[KB4QAA]

@Alcohollica1966 Not true. It varied (still varies) by state. Some states like Kansas allowed grocery stores to sell 3.2 beer, but you had to be 21 to buy 5.0 or 6.0 beer in liquor stores and bars/clubs. 3.2 beer was not the only beer available in the 70's.

[GoldenWinger001]

@Alcohollica1966 Coors was not ILLEGAL east of the Mississippi river, it was just that Coors had no marketing agreements east of the Mississippi. Coors didn't go east of the Mississippi because they didn't Pasteurize their beer.

In the 70s, .3.2 was not all you could buy in America. I'm from Pittsburgh and all of our beer was regular beer. Some states were restricted to 3.2 beer and, if I recall correctly, so were military bases, it wasn't the who country.

[coywmoore1]

@Alcohollica1966 I dont care what people say or think about the movie it has been and always will be my favorite movie !!!

[PNCTruckingU54]

i like the police car at the 1:30 mark
