Smokey and the Bandit/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Playing Against Type: Jackie Gleason was a New York Jew. He plays an East Texas redneck in all three movies.
  • The Red Stapler: After this movie came out, there was a six-month waiting list to purchase black Trans Ams.
  • Throw It In: Jackie Gleason was given a lot of lee-way to ad lib. The scene where he meets Bandit at the choke'n'puke without knowing it was his idea.
