Acting alongside Smokey and the Bandit co-star and real-life lover Sally Field, as well as Jan-Michael Vincent, Reynolds portrays the eponymous action stuntman that in many ways draws some similarities with his early Hollywood career. Beau, Robert, and Ash ponder on that and compare this work with other car movies we've featured on the show.
