5. The Cars Could Hardly Run By The End
Smokey and the Bandit was responsible for introducing two new generations of the Pontiac Trans Am to the public. Surprisingly, the cast and crew only had to use three Trans Am cars throughout the entire film.
However, the cars weren’t in the best of shape by the time they were wrapping up. As Needham admitted in a DVD documentary about the movie, the cars could hardly run by the end of the whole thing.
You would never guess that watching the finished product though, would you?
