2nd Time Around Not as Good
24 October 2018
In this sequel to the popular Smokey and the Bandit, we find Bandit, Cledus and Carrie on another road trip. This time, they are transporting an elephant for Big and Little Enos. Along the way, we see some new faces and some old. Dom DeLuise shows up as the veterinarian and Jackie Gleason shows up to chase the Bandit again.

This sequel sometimes feels unnecessary and pushed, but somehow still interesting. Maybe it's the part about the elephant. The acting seems lazy for this sequel as well, however the direction by Hal Needham was just as good as the first film.

None of the music sticks out in this film either as it did in the first Bandit film, not as memorable. This was followed by another sequel and eventually 4 television films.
