    My condolences, but trust me on this. At this point it's best to just let it go.

    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Smokey and The Bandit part III didn’t even have Burt Reynolds in it. Jackie Gleason and Jerry Reed (God rest his soul.) It wasn’t the worst Smokey and The Bandit movie. (haters, I think it was a little better than Part II.)

    I had the opposite situation. I saw all those movies when I was too little to really appreciate them. My parents also took me to much more age inappropriate movies that were either disturbing, horrifying, or both. Kind of explains how I ended up like this...

    I saw the Smokey & the Bandit movies at the drive-in the way God intended.
    Of course, I was way to young to really follow what was supposed to be going on, but- car goes fast!

    I was 9, my brother was 5 when it came out and our parents took us to see it.

    They were quite shocked and surprised the next day (and weeks after) when my brother started using all of the curse words he learned in that movie.

    LoL!

    Yeah, some of the ones that stick out from my own innocent upbringing include, “The Enforcer,” “The Legacy,” and “Heavy Metal,” in that order. Not sure WTF they were thinking.
