Leave your thoughts about Smokey and the Bandit II.
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe screenplay, by Jerry Belson and Brock Yates, is not so surreally funny as the one for the first film, but funny lines are not what the picture is about. Smokey and the Bandit II is about movement, action, frustration and destruction, and Mr. Needham, one of Hollywood's most successful stunt artists before he became a director, is very good at this sort of thing. Smokey and the Bandit is entertaining in a brainless way. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThree years after Smokey and the Bandit took the hard-drinking, fast-driving, trickster ethos of the American redneck into the big box-office league, Reynolds has proved he just does what he does best: show off. A lightweight chase caper that Reynolds must truly be sick of by now, but which he has elevated into something impossible to dislike. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyFizzles badly after a hilarious first half-hour or so. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere is no need for this movie. That's true of most sequels, but it's especially true of Smokey and the Bandit II, which is basically just the original movie done again, not as well. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldSmokey and the Bandit II -- is a premeditated embarrassment. It seems to prove that entertainers who discover a successful formula may not have the foggiest notion of how to protect, duplicate and sustain it. |

| User Reviewchris tBest of the Smokey series. Yes it's dated, yes it's crude, and yes it's not exactly deep. On the upside some very funny comic characters as Burt must hel transport a pregnant elephant and Sally Field....with the law in pursuit. 80s classic |
