(I am available for consultancy and prop work on all matters concerning radio technology and use at script level, set design, principle photography and editing. One of my favourite pipe dreams is - what if Kubrick had made Convoy? Or Smokey and the Bandit?
So I think we can agree that we're not running at Kubrickian levels of perfectionism viz continuity and realism here - shockingly slack, in fact, and no doubt this contributed heavily to the poor showing at the Academy awards that year. None of the radio conversations between the Bandit and Snowman could have worked. Yeah, well, the CB/PA switch on the CB radio is clearly in the PA position, where the radio bit's actually turned off and the set's configured as a PA amplifier. I might have to watch it one of these nights.Īnd yeah, when they finally started selling Coors here and I got to taste it I wondered what all the fuss was about. Even though I lived through that era when the air was constantly filled with smoke, it's still hard to see in a film. It's like they can't show a character on screen unless they've got a cigarette. One of the things that is jarring for me in films of this era is all the smoking. But he loved the movie, and I enjoyed watching it again. So he started counting but gave up at around #35, which was maybe twenty minutes into the film.
When the first person said "shit" he looked at me and said "dad, he just said the S word!" Then, within a couple of minutes, they said it again. So when my son was eight I said "ok, son, we're gonna watch this here movie." and sat him down to watch Smokey and the Bandit.

When i was eight I think the coolest thing about the movie was that the car fit inside the truck. It was one of the first times I remember seeing people swear. I saw it in the theater with my older brothers when I was eight.
