I shouldn't assume everyone has enjoyed that masterpiece, but I can say this without spoiling the plot. Originally the movie was planned and shot as "Smokey Is The Bandit". And I stress "Is" because Jackie Gleason was to play Buford, AND the Bandit, thus he is pursuing himself. They used some new fangled "blue screen" or "blue ray" or god only knows what it was called tech to allow Gleason to realistically appear on screen as the two characters simultaneously. Unfortunately preview audiences hurled mightily, so they reshot the movie as the masterpiece Smokey & The Bandit Part 3...enjoy...

On the plus side the movie does contain Colleen Camp.
