Just watched Smokey and the Bandit with my 15 year old son this weekend. He was laughing his butt off.

Great movie.Just watched Smokey and the Bandit with my 15 year old son this weekend. He was laughing his butt off.
Lee will tell you how big of a star Burt was and how he was sexiest man in the world. Just don't insinuate that Lee posed nude, as well.Saw that Lee Corso was his roommate in college at FSU. Wonder what he will do this weekend on the ESPN College Football Pre-Game show.

I still won't drink Coors but I'll tip a domestic in his honor this eve.May have to drink a Coors or two tonight in his honor.
This sucks. His laugh always made me laugh. :(
This looks like a job for the Golden Helmet.I don't know why, but I must've watched Hooper 20 times on HBO in the early '80s. Favorite scene:
[Terry Bradshaw and a bunch of roughnecks get up in Hooper & friends' grills]
"Lessee ... we got seven guys here, and you all got ... one, two, three ... twelve guys. Looks like y'all are gonna have to go back to Houston to get some more guys!"
[One of cinema's epic barfights ensues. Hooper, Jan Michael Vincent, and Roscoe P. Coltrane give as good as they get, but end up bustin' the sugar glass in the end. I think #12 loses a tooth somewhere.
Then Hooper's crew AND Terry's crew all head back to Burt's house to drink it off and watch old Super 8 videos of Hooper's stunts ]
I think we all know what he's doing in the afterlife. Layin' on a bearskin rug.

With Dinah ShoreI think we all know what he's doing in the afterlife. Layin' on a bearskin rug.
Or going down some backwoods riverI think we all know what he's doing in the afterlife. Layin' on a bearskin rug.
Not familiar with that photo.Or going down some backwoods river
Burt as Chubby and Norm as Lil’ Chubby is some of the best comedy I’ve ever witnessed on television. Anyone who hasn’t watched My Name is Earl and especially these episodes is missing out.Last thing I remember Burt Reynolds in was a couple of guest spots as the owner of the strip club on My Name is Earl. He along with Norm McDonald as his son nailed those roles.
I was reading about the lifelong friendship he had with Jon Voight, which began during the filming of Deliverance. Burt enjoyed teasing Voight's "method" acting. There was a scene in the movie where both characters were supposed to be exhausted and out of breath. Before the cameras started rolling, Voight sprinted up and down the road a few times, dropped to the ground and did twenty push-ups. When he stood up, he was panting, dripping with sweat.I loved Burt Reynolds sense of humor, and enjoyed some of his movies. He was one of those guys that wore a mustache well. RIP Burt
This story also illustrates Reynolds' acting approach. Oscar likes actors like Voight but the screen loved Reynolds. Burt made it all look effortless.I was reading about the lifelong friendship he had with Jon Voight, which began during the filming of Deliverance. Burt enjoyed teasing Voight's "method" acting.

Burt, who sat in a chair watching Voight, got up, took a water bottle and spritzed himself, and simply started panting, for the same effect.
Playing Win Lose or Draw with Bert Convy?I think we all know what he's doing in the afterlife.
Thanks. That was one of the best guest spots ever.Burt was always a great guest on the Tonight Show (when it was a huge thing).
Dang! Somewhere a horse is freezing because Carson has his blanket.Burt was always a great guest on the Tonight Show (when it was a huge thing).
Johnny not only dressed loud, his ties and lapels could set world records for width.Tom Servo said:Dang! Somewhere a horse is freezing because Carson has his blanket.
People went deaf because those clothes were so loud.Johnny not only dressed loud, his ties and lapels could set world records for width.
this story bears an uncanny resemblance to the legendary story of "Marathon Man" with Dustin Hoffman and Oliver. Hoffman disputes it, of course, but I recall Olivier's wife - Joan Plowright - telling the story during a TV appeance too.

He might have been the inventor of the "wacky neighbor" character.RIP Bill Daily from I Dream Of Jeannie and The Bob Newhart Show.
Ed Norton may want to have a word with you, though I guess Ralph was even whackier than Ed.He might have been the inventor of the "wacky neighbor" character.
