As everyone who has the National Enquirer read to them must know by now, in real life Sally and Burt have broken up. Why can't the movie allow Burt and Sally to have a nice, dumb, wide-eyed romantic relationship? Probably because the filmmakers suffered an attack of Creeping Realism. It seems that Bandit has become a folk hero of Good Ol' Boys everywhere as a result of his original exploits. Given those small adjustments in the successful premise of the original movie, what's new this time? Well, the relationship between Burt Reynolds and Sally Field has changed, and the changes are almost fatal to the story. The plot involves a payment of $400,000 to Reed and Reynolds if they transport Charlotte from Florida to Texas, with Gleason once again on their trail. New additions this time are Doc, a gynecologist played by Dom DeLuise, and Charlotte, an elephant. They all play the same roles in the sequel, and Sally Field is also along as Burt's sometime girlfriend. Reynolds was Bandit, the advance scout with the CB radio to alert Reed to the traps laid by Smokey, who was an apoplectic sheriff played by Jackie Gleason.
