quotes in common with Smokey and the Bandit


Did anyone notice that there are some quotes in this in common with Smokey and the Bandit which would come out 4 years later? For example, Ned Beatty's car is hit and the deputy asks him if he is OK, and Beatty's character says "you see me movin' don't you?" The same quote is said by a mississippi highway patrol officer when another officer asks him if he is OK in "smokey and the bandit." Another example is when Burt in "White Lightning" says to Bo Hopkins' character "I was born ready." That line is repeated by Sally Field in "Smokey and the Bandit."

The Smokey and the Bandit films were great, great films, but only for little kids. White Lightning is a great film for anyone.

There was also the use of the word Communism by both Sheriff Justice and Sheriff Connors
