Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Jersey Jason discuss Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. The Snowman (Jerry Reed) is now the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) but he still has Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) on his tail. 

The trivia behind the scenes of Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 is more interesting than the movie itself. Originally, this movie was shot with the premise that Jackie Gleason played both Smokey AND the Bandit. After poor test screening scores, much of the movie was re-shot with Snowman playing the Bandit. What I wouldn't give for that original cut of the film!
