BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 1983 and directed by Dick Lowry, "Smokey and the Bandit Part 3" is a car chase comedy about Big Enos and Little Enos (Pat McCormick & Paul Williams) betting Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) that he can't drive from Miami to the Enos ranch in Texas in a short period of time. The Sheriff is joined by his dimwitted hunk of a son (Mike Henry). Meanwhile Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Jerry Reed) takes the place of The Bandit, teaming up with a woman who just quit her job at a used car lot (Colleen Camp).Burt Reynolds and Sally Field are absent in this third entry of the Good Ol' Boy series, except for Burt having a glorified cameo at the end. Gleason takes the lead with Mike Henry's support. The latter is so effective in his inane role that you completely forget that he played a serious Tarzan in three movies from 1966-1968, not to mention the formidable corrupt Sheriff in "Rio Lobo" (1970). At 46 during shooting, you'll observe that he certainly kept in shape.Car chase comedies like this are meant for leaving your brain at the door and having fun, but this inferior sequel makes me want to up my rating for the original "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977). There's an amateurish vibe, particularly with the writing and editing, which prevents it from attaining even the low level of "Cannonball Run 2" (1984). Still, it's the most action-packed (and goofy) entry in the series and it has its points of silly amusement.Colleen Camp is serviceable essentially replacing Field on the female front, although not enough is done with her. If you're not familiar with Colleen, she played the Indian playmate in "Apocalypse Now" (1979) and the hot French maid in "Clue" (1985). Anyway, this segment arguably features the best women in the periphery. Faith Minton is on hand as a 6'1" Amazonian who takes a liking to the Sheriff.THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour, 25 minutes and was shot entirely in Florida (Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Ocala, Clearwater and Miami).GRADE: C-/D+ (3.5/10)

nutmegandcynicism This movie's the best. I loved the first two, but seeing Jerry Reed as the Bandit is a real treat. I love how they humorously had Cledus take over the Bandit's role. That was the perfect way to use a different It actor and keep with the humor of the first two. I know people complain about sequels, but I'm really happy they made a third picture show. I bet this one is like the original they planned. . . before Burt Reynolds signed on and when Jerry Reed was still cast as the bandit.

themusclecarguy If you were to show this nightmare to death-row inmates and offer them either this or lethal injection, 9 out of 10 would take the injection. The 10th would have their sentence commuted to remain in an asylum for the criminally insane. But after watching this turd, Stephen Hawkins could be cured of his ALS long enough to throw himself from the space shuttle into a black hole into a universe where this vision of horror doesn't exist. How bad was it? I think I have just seen the worst sequel in movie history. Smokey and the Bandit 3. How bad was it. Burt Reynolds wasn't in it and Jerry Reed played the bandit. In fact it was so bad, Jerry Reed didn't even sing any of the horrible songs in it. The Trans Am was so under powered, it made a Yugo look like a Lamborghini. Granted, Burt would come to the opening of a door for a buck and was in a weird cameo in the TV version. Egad...

romancia-1 This movie is one of the ugliest movie i've ever seen.Acting from almost all cast are awful. The plot story not clear, I don't get any point from this movie.Maybe this is comedy movie but honestly I almost never laugh or smile from the 1st.Smokey part 1 & 2 for me also not too good but at least there is Burt Reynold in that movie.Where they got the producer, director, writer? Watching this movie I feel like watching for kid's movie. But many kid's movie are better than this movieI give 2 out of 10 but actually I want to give 1 at 1st.
