Smokey and the Bandit

Oh, and the movie was filmed locally around Atlanta. The scene where Buford is in the truck stop with the car on a jack was at a truck stop that was at I-85 and Pleasant Hill Rd. but is long gone. They filmed a scene at a station on the side of Ga. 85 below Fayetteville (just up the road from my in-laws house) that was cut from the final movie. My wife said they spruced up the place and painted the storage tanks behind the station and then dropped the scene.

Also filmed some on I-16 around Dublin. IiRC a cop in the movie was an actual cop who recently passed away.

I love the movie...you sumbitch, lol.
