Rank the first three Smokey & The Bandit movies?


My rankings for the first three Smokey & The Bandit movies are

Smokey 1
Smokey 3
Smokey 2 (the elephant sequence and Dom Deluise is what makes this one the weakest)

reply

Smokey 1 - by a mile
Smokey 2 - Dom DeLuise and the Elefant almost kills this, but then again the Desert Showdown and Don Williams come to the
rescue and safe this movies 2nd place spot
Smokey 3 - I really like Jerry Reed, but Burt is just really missing here; and a third-gen F-Body TransAm just isn't as
much a looker like the 2nd gen TransAms

What I did like about Smokey 3 over Smokey 2 was it had more chases, more laughs and loved seeing more of Buford T. Justice and his dimwitted son Junior.

1 - 2 - 3

I have owned all 3 for years in a single disc, but I have never actually watched 2 and 3. As I work from home, and am watching part 1 now as I work, I may just consider watching the trilogy for the first time!

Well I didn't end up watching the other two after all (earlier today), and based on MichiganJFrogg's review, I was right to once again skip them! They are the only two movies I believe I personally own (so not counting a couple my wife owns) that I've never actually watched.

See I actually will sometimes get rid of ones I don't watch anymore, and still have a very large movie count. So, typically, I would get rid of those, but they are part of a single-disc 3-movie set, so I can't. Maybe one day I will actually watch them!

Exactly right.

1 is the only good one. Rest are trash.

#3 is actually pretty good, honestly it may be the best. #2 is almost unwatchable.
