The Bandit rides one too many times
Smokey and The Bandit is a great film and number two is good but three spelled doom just like Jaws went too far.

Even with that said you can't buy all three as stand alone films on DVD film one not a problem part two and three are on the same disc.

I great to see the bungling of the Shreiff with the oddest name but qiute apt for his job.

This bgoxset is the only way to get the two good film but it seem that you will get stuck with the thrid film.

A Bandit too Far
Smokey and the Bandit, brilliant lighthearted romp.
Smokey and the Bandit 2, good fun movie, but beginninig to lose it's novelty.
Smokey and the Bandit 3, Sorry! It has a few good lines but was "the same old, same old" without even the original main character. It should never have been made. Bandit and Frog made the right decision giving this movie a bodyswerve.

Classic!
I bought this as a birthday present for my dad, he made me watch it with him even though it really didn't appeal, and I absoloutely cracked up!

I haven't seen my dad laugh so much since I watched My Cousin Vinny with him. Excellent and a classic.

A long way to go, and a short time to get there!
The Smokey & The Bandit Trilogy brings together two great American pointless car chase movies, and a reason why you should give up when the goings good, to a single DVD boxset.

The original Smokey & The Bandit features Burt Reynolds as a wild US truck racer with his friend the Snowman (Jerry Reed) who are challenged by the Enos brothers to bring back a truck load of beer from Texas to Atlanta (where alcohol is illegal) in 18 hours.
The Bandit accepts and agrees to help the Snowman by using his famous black Pontiac Trans-Am to use as a decoy if the police get interested in the cargo.
He doesn't factor on picking up a runaway bride along the way, who is being chased by respected lawman Sheriff Buford T. Justice (played superbly by Jackie Gleason) after she jilted his halfwit son "Junior" at the alter. It soon turns into a full speed ahead chase to get to Atlanta with Buford in hot pursuit. Great dialogue between all characters but the real delight is Gleason as Sheriff Buford as he slowly causes mayhem in pursuit, and it is a treat to her Gleason spitting out the poisonous dialogue to everybody else, and particularly his idiotic son.

The second film delivers more of the same, although it starts with the Bandit having cashed in on his fame, and become a motel drunk. He is convinced to do another run, this time to transport an elephant across the US and by coincidence he once again snatches Junior's bride at the Alter. Another chase movie is drawn out with more of the same crash and smash mayhem.

Film three is the big let down, as Reynolds refuses to appear in the film. Sheriff Buford has retired and moved to Florida with Junior, but retirement around elderly folk isn't for him and the Enos brothers bet him to do one more run. The Snowman takes his place in the car as the Bandit and picks up a hitchhiker along the way for more of the same crashing and smashing action. It wears thin to be honest by this film and its only Gleason's acting during the scenes of him during his retirement which offer fresh comedy to the film.

All in all still good clean entertainment.
