This film combines sexuality (two of the hottest stars of the '70s and '80s), laughter (Jackie Gleason, need I say more), and a great feel-good script. He then treks across the south in "hot pursuit" of the runaway bride and along the way encounters his arch-nemesis, The Bandit, resulting in non-stop laughs throughout the movie. The sheriff takes this as a personal insult and a dishonor to his authority. For ’77, the front clip of the Firebird was completely re-designed with square headlights inside two slits that curved downward towards the middle suggesting the beak of a bird of prey. The most enduring icon of the film was the black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am driven by Burt Reynolds. Sally Field portrays a talented dancer who bails out on a marriage to the son of the stereotypical "southern" sheriff. Smokey and the Bandit made more money than 1976’s biggest film, Rocky.
#The black trans am in smokey and the bandit movie#
A must see for all serious movie watchers.
The soundtrack was an instant classic, combining folk, bluegrass and country, and leaving the viewer with an urge to recite the lyrics for days after. Jackie Gleason does an impeccable job of bringing to life the role of the backwards southern sheriff, one of the finest performances of his great career. Burt Reynolds plays the part of the Bandit, a heart-throb for all white-trash trailer dwelling women, to a tee. This Starlight Black-and-Gold 1977 Trans Am Special Edition was gifted to Burt Reynolds as a 'thank you' for his part in the vehicles success. it has been completely restored, including the engine with only 9,800 km's since rebuild. However, for car aficionados nothing can top the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am used in ‘Smokey and the Bandit,’ and now one lucky fan will get to have it all to themselves.
Once that movie was released, the Trans Am sales tripled, Pontiac had a hard time fulfilling the orders with the popularity explosion. Worthy of adding to your personal collection. This car was made famous in the 1977 movie 'Smokey and the Bandit' Starring Burt Reynolds, and Sally Field.
