Burt Reynolds recalls the most terrifying scene during the filming of Smokey and the Bandit. He remembers the scene where Sally Fields' stunt double was behind the wheel and he was in the passenger seat. They were supposed to jump over a wall, land in the Little League baseball field, go AROUND the game, and then through another wall.
However, that's not exactly what happened. Instead of going around the game, the stunt woman panicked and they ended up flying over all the kids in the field. Luckily, they all ducked and nobody was hurt. But as you can imagine it could've ended quite differently and put an end to a lot of peoples careers...

About 3 years ago,I saw Burt , at a Best Buy store in Jupiter Florida. He was so polite and nice. I remember that he was looking for a 70" LED television. I felt so bad for him. It was obvious ,that he was in a lot of pain. May God rest his soul. We have lost a wonderful actor,and a great man.

@ghall1964 5 лет назад

@@moonbeamskies3346 of course I did . I politely said good afternoon Mr. Reynolds , and he simply replied good afternoon to you. Very polite man. Actually much nicer , than I thought he was. He wasn't the guy you remember in all those movies. He was a little old man with a cane. Getting old really sucks.

It's his heart troubles that really did him in...your strength is just zapped from it and everything else falls to pieces, little by little. And without strength in your body, the arthritis gets much worse due to immobility. A very tough ending for him. "But no one had more fun than he did" 😉

@tsfmnlb 5 лет назад

Burt is just so classy. He never says a negative thing about anyone, and seems to always be able to put himslef in others' shoes. He doesn't trash talk the stunt woman, but instead compliments her on what she did well, and admits she wasn't experienced enough. He doesn't suggest anyone overreacted, and unlike some commenters, he gets how very tragic that all could have been. A true gentleman, and a good human being. R.I.P, Burt.

@Bonzi_Buddy 5 лет назад

At the very beginning he had nice words to offer her but basically saying "handling cars is a different thing". He was very kind in saying she wasn't woefully inadequate. I'm just saying back then stuntwomen drivers were far and few between and probably not very good because of that. Today there are much better skilled stuntwomen drivers. It is hilarious as they had petite men doing stunts for women back in the day because they were largely incompetent. People are just too kind to state the truth... like women cops are nearly fuckin useless too.

@bobhoffman5581 3 года назад

Part of that is because Burt realized one thing--moviegoers (average folks) help create the profits a movie makes--you don't have to "suck up" to them, but you damn sure better appreciate them. Having a successful picture at the box office helps the "stuffed shirts" (movie production funders/backers) be more willing to fund the next project. Burt's popularity was due to his genuine appreciation FOR those ticket buyers; the "big shots" weren't stupid--Burt's movies were properly "greased," ($$) knowing that a Burt Reynolds flick was gonna BE a money maker, thus, a good "investment." lol

I had to work for my car, 1 year insurance and then i could get my license. We had alot more freedom back then but we earned it. 3 channels on tv, no video games or computers, 4 party line phone, so go outside and do something, and if you want something then get a job.

I was there as a high school teenager watching from the sidelines. Burt Reynolds doesn't mention that the car actually crashed into a concrete dugout (destroying the car) that had a couple of my schoolmates in it. They scrambled to get out of the way. One of them ended up with a broken leg. A few days later they built a breakaway replica of the dugout and ran another Trans Am through it to continue the chase scene.

He came up from humble beginnings in Riviera Beach, FL when it was a small fishing village and he lived in a small wood A frame home just south of Silver Beach Road and worked at the gas station at the end of his street on the corner US-1. His dad was a pretty hard core cop having busted my father in law as a teenager mostly for sneaking into the drive in theater that was there in the day. Anyway I was leafing through some pics of the production of part II and saw some celebrities that went on to star in The Cannonball Run that would have started pre-production right after that one.

I'm pretty sure you're right. I remember it being a football game too

It was a little league football game but they weren't supposed to go thru the middle of it.

I remember seeing that particular scene when this movie first came out. If you see them just before going through the bleachers there is a little girl, that almost goes right in front of the car! When I saw that I said that didn't look planned. Apparently I was right.

@thirdgengta 5 лет назад

I saw that too, but never really paid that much attention to it in the past. After watching it a few times, I'm thankful she did the right thing by backing away instead of running across the car's path.

+thirdgengta You're right.

What a fascinating insight into this movie.Burt was THE MAN.!

@camelmanjd2671 5 лет назад

Burt discussed that particular scene. There was a lady stunt double in for Sally. They were supposed to come over the ledge and drive around the side of the field and then exit through the fence. The lady gunned it and that's one scene that went to hell just that fast. Burt recalled that that was the only terrified him to his core out of his time as a movie star. You can catch the interview Here on RU-vid

jdez10 there were also 2 or 3 people inside the bleachers too, and it looked like they only just got out of the way as the car goes through.

Kids in the 70s love for cars to jump over them, kids today to scared to drive a car, want it to drive itself and they need to have elbo, knee pads and puffy hel.its.

and Heaven forbid their internet goes down. Us 70's kids, we'd just go outside and build or fix something.

And here I am, a gen Z kid who drives a stick and dreams of fixing up an old muscle car when I get enough money. If you don't like people only looking at the bad apples of your generation, maybe you could try taking a closer look at mine.

@s0la.scr1ptura 4 года назад

This makes sense because that scene always looked wayyy too real to me seeing the car go right through the kids. I always winced when watching it. Thank God the kids are okay.

Burt was always a decent guy and he always loved and respected, and trusted his stunt people.

Burt is just one of those guys that you wanted to emulate when I was growing up in the 70's, and I assume from a woman's perspective sucking face w the dude. He was a smooth bastard. Thanks, Burt. Just thanks.

In another movie Stick from 1985 (Moke's Fall from the building while firing a gun) Burt was very nervous about the whole stunt. He held a prayer before filming of the scene began

@chpman2013 4 года назад

Even though the scene worked out alright in the end, the way Burt described it, it could've been extremely bad for everyone. Thankfully, all's well ended well.
