I can see all of those, except for Robert Deniro. I don't think he could play it straight enough.

Unfortunately, if they ever did remake it, the new version would be NOTHING like the old version, which was chock full of sexism, racism, bigotry, abuse, etc. etc. etc.

Anyone know what eventually happened to the Kenworth W900 that was used in Smokey and the Bandit? 8)

Follow the youtube link for some Smokey and the Bandit fun...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqvLKdiVjqc

Whole lot more clips there also.

Does anybody actually know how many times they may have watched it?
One of the very few movies you can watch over and over again, and have fun and smile each time.

Smokey and the Bandit, The most fun you can have watching a movie
Smokey and the Bandit 2, OK movie but, doesnt come close to original
Smokey and the Bandit 3, Not even worth using the cd as a coaster

I'm not sure what happened to the truck, Midnight Flyer. Both the truck, and trailer were cool.

Never seen it that I recall. Can I still be a truck driver?

And if it were remade who do you think would be perfect in the cast? 8)
No clue who was in it the first time, but my vote is for Sandra Bullock, Carmen Diaz, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Kirsten Dunst.

Especially if they're all butt nekkit and covert wit earl.
