Burt Reynolds, the man, the moustache, the legend! (^-^)
In one interview Burt said when car movies were at their height, they did everything but have a car chase through the Vatican, lol! He certainly starred in a few classics, and did a lot for the GM F body image. Unfortunately, this was mainly concerning Firebird, because the Camaro was having a quiet time in this era. In fact, it was the success of the Trans Am that caused the Z/28 to return in 1977, after a 2 year hiatus.

Little known fact - When he made Smokey and the Bandit, Pontiac promised him a free Trans Am. Then the president of the company got fired and the new guy wouldn't honor the deal. Burt had to buy his own Trans Am.

White Lightning and Gator were good movies as well. Gator had Jerry Reed as a co-star as well, which came out less than a year before Smokey and The Bandit.
