Line question
What was the line regarding the Tennessee Vols?
I believe Burt was just making small talk with an ornery gas station attendant he was about to rob and he asked "How about those Tenessee Vols?"... to which he replied something like "I don''t know nothin' 'bout no Tenessee Vols".
shareW W: How 'bout them Tennessee Vols?
Attendant: I don't give a DOG about the Tennessee Vols!
Great movie full of great lines!
"Ya dont want no bar-b-que, then?"
Can you help confirm this for me?
[scene help, havent seen this in a long time!] :
Wasn't this film the one with the opening scene where Burt Reynolds goes through a grocery store, making a sandwich and drinking out of a box of milk & eating a twinkie? He then walks out without paying!
My kinda movie!
No, that's not this film. This one opens with Burt Reynolds robing an SOS station in the country. He never goes inside. The film you're describing rings a bell, but I cant remember what it is. Sorry.
shareI need to check Burt's film list to see what it is...maybe it was a 'C.C.' instead of a W.W.....but that was one funny, anti-social scene! I thought I was right on that one...
"The Film in which you are about to see is an account of a tragedy that befell a group of 5 youths"
C.C...That's it!! That movie was C. C. and Company, a Joe Namath biker flick. The movie opens with him in a grogery store. He makes the rounds getting the fixin's for a sandwitch, makes the sandwitch and eats it, and then asks the manager where the cupcakes are! Then he eats a Twinkie, opens a box of napkins, wipes his mouth, buys a ten-cent pack of gum and hops on his chopper. This is all before the opening credits.
shareHell yea, thanks man! You can see how a person could get the C.C. & W.W. mixed up when seen as a kid! I had forgotten it was JoeNamath too, for some reason I thought it was Burt Reynolds! Thanks for jarring the memory! I wonder if this is out on video at least? That was one funny, anti-social opening scene, no doubt! Thanks!
"The Film in which you are about to see is an account of a tragedy that befell a group of 5 youths"
THE MOVIE YOUR THINKING ABOUT WAS C.C. RYDER, W/ JOE NAMATH. HE WALKED THROUGH THE STORE MADE HIM A SANDWICH, PUT EVERYTHING BACK , BOUGHT A PACK OF GUM AND LEFT.

I know this now, thanks!
Go back and re-read the previous posts....
'CC And Company' is what it was called and I found it on a cheap DVD last year - its not a bad biker movie.
"The Film which you are about to see is an account of a tragedy that befell a group of five youths..."
Going back to the original topic/question re: the Vols, was this the same scene(movie?) where Burt asks the guy who he's "rooting" for and gets the terse reply of "Only pigs root!" then pulls out his pistol to rob the guy, only to have the unimpressed man snort "pea shooter!" before reaching for a double-barrelled 12-gauge??? I've only seen this once, at the drive-in when I was a kid, and I seem to remember this scene in this film . . .
hmm, guess I'll check back in 4 months for a response . . .
"Don't kick a man when he's down?!? When is there a BETTER time to kick a man?"
Wow, make that 10 months and no response, not surprised . . .
"Don't kick a man when he's down?!? When is there a BETTER time to kick a man?"
You're right - I'm watching this film on Fox Movie Classics - the old guy just says "Pigs root." Classic line. Your memory of the scene is pretty good. He says "pea shooter" as he's walking towards the gas station to get the money, so W.W. doesn't hear it. A truck pulls in as the old guy starts coming back loading his shot gun, so W.W. doesn't see it right away. Then all heck breaks loose, with old cars & trucks driving around in all directions as the old guy is taking pot shots at W.W.'s careening Golden Anniversary Oldsmobile 88. The only dumb thing is that W.W. keeps driving around in circles instead of making a clean getaway. Great flick, though. Lots of fun. I first saw it at the theater way back when as a kid, too.
