Burt Reynolds passess

Post by Tuscany »

Maybe it’s my generation, but Burt’s movies were timeless.
I still crack up at Reynolds and Gleason in Smoky And The Bandit as if I saw it for the first time.
Thanks Burt for the laughs.

It always confused me that the TransAm shifted and rev'ed like it was a manual transmission but all shots of the interior were of an automatic. Surly the Bandit was man enough to know how to use a clutch.

I still put this song on any road trip spotify playlist I make. We are getting rain all weekend, maybe a smokey and the bandit marathon is in order, Katie will loce it.

I had the honor of meeting Burt f2f a couple years ago. He got out of the car on stage at B-J, stood up up and said
"Damn! Where did all these people come from? Bet theres some pretty girls out there"!

It was awesome.


I'm with ya Tusc. Thanks to Burt for all the laughs! What an icon in our generation!

He lives on! I spotted this guy last Friday. We sold a Burt Reynolds collection and he was there to represent it. But before I knew that, I just thought it was a guy stuck in the 70s since you see folks dressed pretty weird sometimes.
