I don't get that network. If anyone manages to record these movies or something I would like to see about getting a copy. Thanks!

One of the reasons I didn't like this movie was because they used a foreign car instead of the T/A. Who ever heard of a good ole boy driving a Mitsubishi?

I know the T/A was out of production at the time but they should have used it anyway.

Actually you are half right. He used a Dodge Stealth in these movies which was Dodge's version of the Mitsubishi 3000 GT. He should have used the new Trans Am that was just coming out at that time. Atleast the car was still black

The Dodge Stealth was just a rebadged POS Mitsubishi. It was built in the Mitsubishi plant. Had all Mitsubishi parts. All they did was change some body panels and the interior. Other than that is was a pure Jap-Mobile. :)

I remember the Action Pack series from 1994 very well. In my area, it aired on what became the UPN station (now CW). Watching one of the movies on Sleuth, I couldn't stop laughing, but for all the wrong reasons. Bad acting, even worse writing, and as noted, a Stealth instead of the Trans Am.

If this had been called anything other than "Bandit", it might've been a little better. At least Sleuth did show the first two Smokey and the Bandits (heard the third one was just as bad).

They were all made in 1994, Pontiac Produced the Trans Am until 2002. If they were short of cash and couldn't buy some T/As why didn't they just not make one of the movies? I highly doubt they're any good anyway, at least a real T/A would make them semi worth watching.
