I realize I made a mistake and said 1971 instead of 1977 it was just a mistake and I misspoke,

@adrienroy9310 3 года назад

Noticed it and almost didn't watch, thought this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Turns out (after watching the others before this one) you by far have the best video, very detailed and informative. Good job.

I've been going back and looking at all these classic movies from my childhood in the 70s more and more because of how much pain our country has been going through lately and videos like yours have really helped . I know how much time and effort it takes to put together vids like this ...So I just wanted to say Thank You My Friend

@ComputerLearning0 3 года назад

I'm sure you just misspoke but at 0:17 you said in "1971" they made Smokey & the Bandit but was in fact made in 1976 and released in 77. Surprised nobody caught that.

I'm glad you showed Redan Elementary school and where the cemetery was/ is .... Where they were held up by the funeral. I grew up travelling down that road most of my life. Leaving Stone Mountain from where I lived and heading to my dad's parent's house in Lithonia or to my mom's parent's house in Conyers Ga. When I was born my dad's parents lived in one of those houses right by the cemetery. Thank you for sharing all of these filming locations of Smoking and the Bandit. I still love that movie too . Oh and when Burt Reynolds had his house in Loganville Ga. and then he moved out and sold the house. They had an Estate sale and my mom bought his bar stools . She still has them to this day .

Thank you for making this video. For some reason, I laugh the most at Jr. saying "He had a lot of friends didn't he..." while the funeral procession is going by. I always laugh the hardest at that scene. "He had a lotta friends, didn't he..." and they put their hats over their hearts to be polite. It's hilarious. And now, I know where that scene took place. Thank you for that.

@elaineewalt8137 Год назад

That scene is funny as heck, especially the way the Sheriff gives that digusting look like, "Oh, the hell w/it..!" And takes off his hat and places it over chest! 😂🤣😅

@terminallygray Год назад

That actor (Mike Henry) was the perfect sidekick for Sheriff Justice. Just for the contrast in their personalities. He would set up the joke and Jackie would deliver the punchline. FYI - Mr Henry also played Tarzan in the TV version of that classic.

Some of the police cars used in the film were bought from my dad’s car lot. Sheriff Justice’s car is a ex Georgia State Patrol car as are most of them. That’s why the interiors are blue. The cars jumping in the water with hood scoops are old Dekalb County Police cars. They were very fast.

In the movie when Burt breaks the fourth wall and smiles at the camera, at that time our dad looked identical to what Burt Reynolds looks like when he looks at the camera, we used to say that’s the moment when Burt Reynolds did his imitation of our dad. My favorite part of the entire movie!!!!

@davidward1259 2 года назад

The small building on the old McDonough square was the police department building (at about 6:00 in the video). It's been gone for years though. I worked for the Clayton County Sheriff's Office during the filming and we provided traffic and crowd control. I got to see a lot of the scenes being filmed around Jonesboro and the south end of the county. One interesting fact is when they pickup the Coors beer from the warehouse, in the shots looking out of the business you always see Snowman's truck blocking the background. The old 1898 Courthouse and Sheriff's Office is directly across the street which is why they placed the truck to block them. We used to fish off the bridge he jumped when I was in High School. The bridge was all the way across the Flint River until they broke part of it for the filming.

@sh393 3 года назад

Cool video. I used to work on Stone Mountain-Lithonia Rd at the International Paper across the street on the corner of MArbut.. If you recognize The convenient store when turning onto Stn Mountain Rd from Main St, that was the BIG A store in Dumber and Dumberer. We had to re-route while they filmed.

@mr.samurai901 Год назад

The bridge jump location is on Flint River Rd. in Jonesboro. My grandma lived in the neighborhood about 1/2 mile from here, and when I was a kid in the early 80s we used to fish off of the old bridge they jumped. It was still partially standing back then. My parents first house is also visible in the movie, on Hewell Rd. They had to let them through the film set to get to their house , dad said they had about a dozen of the Trans Ams sitting there all beat up from the stunts. Burt Reynolds had a big house he bought during this time period on lake Spivey in Jonesboro as well, and there was an amphitheater there where alot of big music acts of the 70s played at the time. Another fun fact is that the Flint River in the 1970s had the largest population of Snapping Turtles of anywhere in the world. People caught so many of them to eat and to sell to soup companies that unfortunately they are kind of rare now. I grew up around here and everywhere around the Flint River the enormous turtles used to be everywhere.
