Burt Reynolds brought his charming, suave and irresistible persona to these throughly enjoyable and memorable comedy action films. Smokey and the Bandit, with Sally Field, heavyweight Jacky Gleason and Jerry Reed, who contributes the catchy theme song, followed by Stroker Ace, pairing Reynolds with future spouse Loni Anderson, with supporting roles by Ned Beatty and Jim Nabors. Former stuntman and race driver Hal Needham directed both films allowing the brilliant casts to shine, even the vehicles, who speed and crash during the complex chase sequences with virtuous comedic timing. We like them, we really, really like them!

Hal Needham on Stroker Ace
"I loved going to the races and watching Harry Grant drive my Skoal-Bandit car and seeing all the fans in the stands at the tracks. i wasn't the only one in love with NASCAR racing, so I thought, why not make a movie about it? I'd have a built-in audience. A deal was put together for me to direct Stroker-Ace, starring Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson. It was the story of a happy-go-lucky NASCAR driver. Since I owned a NASCAR team myself, the story really appealed tome. Universal agreed to bankroll the movie, so off we went to shoot in the south, the heart of NASCAR." from Needham's autobiography, find it here...
