HOW MANY SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT MOVIES DID THEY MAKE MOVIE

This movie seriously takes a nose dive in terms of dignity, talk about selling out and milking your original idea. The fact that this leads to Buford Justice chasing the Bandit and co across the country yet again feels really really rehashed and boring. Frog is once again lured away from getting married to Junior, which begs the question why on earth is she still even wanting to marry this guy! I thought she was over him in the first movie. When we find the Bandit he has become a drunk which adds a new dimension to the character, but that is quickly forgotten as the plot recaptures the same old vibe, but not in a good way. I really couldn't believe my eyes as I was watching this (first time viewing), the plot simply retreads everything. The entire premise of the first movie is basically rebooted or remade here, accept the cargo is an elephant.

Here lies the problem with this movie, its exactly the same shit as the first movie, exactly!! Once again the duo team up with Sally Field's character Frog, who has once again left Junior Justice at the altar, which naturally means Sheriff Buford T. This time its from Miami to Dallas, once again the challenge is set by Big Enos, once again there is a big monetary reward and lastly the cargo is an elephant (only thing that is different). Once again the plot revolves around the Bandit and his partner the Snowman, transporting a cargo across the country as quickly as possible. This time the movie has gone for a more all out comedy slapstick route, more along the lines of Needham's other movie 'The Cannonball Run', or dare I say, Disney's Herbie franchise. Hal Needham is back with Reynolds and all the gang for another dose of pedal to the metal, tarmac burning, high octane, highway speeding.I think.
