Today is the 40th anniversary for Smokey and the Bandit.
Second highest grossing movie of 1977 after Star Wars.
Supposedly the worst script Burt Reynolds ever read.
The beautifully gaudy puking chicken car.
And a plot that no-one under 30 would understand why you couldn't legally buy a Banquet Coors east of the Rockies.
A glorious piece of cinematic Americana.
Yes, I had a cowboy hat and a remote control Trans-am as a kid.
I have been teased and then sadly disappointed by AMC.
Before the local showing of Guardians Vol 2 in Imax, the theater had the trailer for Smokey and the Bandit but aren't showing the movie.
Guess I have to take a road trip, eat a Diablo Sandwich, break a few speed limits and find it before tonight... or just buy the Walmart exclusive DVD.
Just hope the DVD has the original audio track with the correct sounds for a Pontiac.
If not then, "ScumBum!"
