The Enos duo convince Cletus, aka The Bandit, to come out of hiding and help them promote their new restaurant.

I want to see Smokey IS The Bandit.

Somewhere in a vault is the original cut of this and I'd love to see it.The released film is very obviously a re-edited mess.Jerry Reed was brought in to remake the Gleason as bandit scenes, Sadly at no point does he seem to be the Snowman of the first 2 moviesThe plot is really just scenes sown together to fill the run time, massive gaps of logic and story.Simply a poor film but what was the 1st cut like...Sadly we'll never know.

No tread left on the Trans Am

The big question here is whether a "Smokey and the Bandit" movie can be done without Burt Reynolds and Sally Field. I guess that's a yes, but you really shouldn't try it. "Part 3" has Buford T. Justice once again tailing the Bandit (now Jerry Reed behind the wheel) and at least they go back to the car chases; that, and the Knight Rider Firebird looks good on the road. It'd be easy to say that Reed is much better as a side player, but really, he didn't have anything to work with here. These gags are terrible.Urban legend tells of a workprint with Jackie Gleason playing both roles ("Smokey IS the Bandit!") and that I'd like to see. The potential for irony speaks for itself. But this TV-grade movie is a weak effort.4/10
