Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) Chariot Race Is Next! At a completely imaginary stunt-man’s benefit show in LA, Burt Reynolds as the title character is a big draw, Alfie Wise his buddy, Norm Grabowski as Hammerhead, and Jan-Michael Vincent flies in as “the Kid,” about whom there’s lots of buzz, with hero stunt man Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.

Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) Perfect Companion With language that might not be chosen today, and their relationship undefined, Burt Reynolds as the stunt-man title character arrives home from the set to fairly-worried Sally Field as Gwen (the two were a couple at the time), with impressive double-talking, Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.

Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) We May Be In Trouble First an uncredited song (the singer’s sign-off maybe the inspiration for the Toby Keith hit?) then title character Burt Reynolds with his crew at an LA bar, his squeeze Sally Field, Brian Keith and later Jan-Michael Vincent, tangle with a gang led by Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw, the reigning Super Bowl MVP (with stunt stalwart Robert Tessier), in Hooper, 1978.

Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) I Won't Do Any Acting After suiting up in the credits, star Burt Reynolds (the stunt-man title character Sonny) roars down to the set where Robert Klein is the director, Adam West plays himself as the star he’s doubling-for, and James Best his buddy Cully, with Burt pal and legendary stunt man Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.

Smokey And The Bandit (1977) -- (Movie Clip) I Love Your Suits It's been established that Big and Little Enos (Pat McCormick, Paul Williams) like to challenge truckers to make a reckless beer run, so they seek out "The Bandit" (Burt Reynolds, his first scene) at a Georgia truck rodeo, early in Smokey And The Bandit, 1977.

Those Lips, Those Eyes -- (Movie Clip) Opening, Harry Crystal Opening sequence from Michael Pressman's Those Lips, Those Eyes, 1980, features Frank Langella as small-time musical star Harry Crystal in make-up and on stage performin "In Old New York."

Smokey And The Bandit (1977) -- (Movie Clip) We Ain't Never Not Made It Bandit (Burt Reynolds) has already persuaded Cledus (Jerry Reed) to undertake the daredevil beer run from Georgia to Texarkana and back, so this is mostly fluff, plus the introduction of the Trans Am, in Smokey And The Bandit, 1977.

Smokey And The Bandit (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Think Of It As A Wedding Posse Having picked up the load of Coors and departed Texarkana, Cledus (Jerry Reed) in the truck and Smokey (Burt Reynolds) in the Trans Am now pause to pick up the runaway bride, Sally Field as "Carrie," in Smokey And The Bandit, 1977.

Smokey And The Bandit (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Complete Lack Of Respect Bandit (Burt Reynolds) and fugitive bride Carrie (Sally Field) getting to know each other, while Cledus (Jerry Reed), running the beer, is really starting to bother pursuing Texas sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), provoking his famous line, in Smokey And The Bandit, 1977.
