Ironically, his last movie, filmed right here in Knoxville, is titled "The Last Movie Star". RIP Burt, we'll never forget your laugh.

I have a fondness for Stroker Ace. When the motor starts knocking and he asks Lugs Harvey if there are any tools missing and says the motor is making a knocking sound. Lugs says “Stroker that motor is perfect, you have my word”
Well we all know it blows. Last thing Stroker says....
“Hey Lugs, about you word, it ain’t worth $hit!”
Couldn’t have cast Smokey and the Bandit better. Burt, Jerry, Jackie, Sally.
“There is no way, no way you could come from my loins. The first thing I do when I get home is punch your momma in the mouth!”
“He sure had a lot of friends daddy.”
“If they’d have cremated the som bit*h I’d be kickin that bandits a$$!”
Don’t make movies or actors like they used to.....

Still my favorite scene in the movie. Nobody, and I mean nobody but Jackie Gleason could do this. He was the master.

I could be wrong TD, but I doubt Burt did it first take with his propensity to laugh.

Smokey and the Bandit is on Amazon Prime Video streaming right now.
We watched it last night in memory of Burt. My daughter is a sophomore in High School and she even enjoyed it.
Big trucks, fast cars, pretty girls, bootlegging and running from the cops.
I kept expecting to see a old ford with a blower poking through the hood to come screeching around one of the corners, but td25 disappointed me and never showed up.
Everyone should have a car with a flaming chicken on the hood.

That's the first film I can remember where they ran the blooper out takes at the end .
I'm in the 3rd film of the " White Lighting " series .
Still trying to get the producers to approve the script .
Storyline …. It's 2018 and an aging Gator McKlusky comes out of retirement to run "blocker car " for some fellers moving oversize equipment .
Will be action packed with plenty chase scenes using trucks & equipment and an old 4 door Ford sedan .
Come to think of it we need a good crane operator on this set .

About the only good part of that movie. Can't believe they made a third... I could watch the first one continuously, but the others were pretty bad.
He seemed so young in the first Bandit movie. Hard to believe he was 43.
I think he won an Academy Award for Boogie Nights. He could definitely pull off a serious role when needed.
