Smokey and the Bandit II
The Bandit goes on another cross-country run, transporting an elephant from Florida to Texas. And, once again, Sheriff Buford T. Justice is on his tail.
Critics Sentiment
Cledus enlists trucker friends who create a bridge for Bandit
The crew stops at a nightclub where Carrie leaves Bandit
The film recovers from its emotional low point at the nightclub scene to the exciting trucker convoy rescue, rising 4.0 points as the action builds to the climactic chase.
Reviews consistently noted this sequel as a disappointing rehash that lacked the energy and charm of the original, with Bandit transformed from a carefree hero into a depressed alcoholic. While Jackie Gleason's Sheriff Justice and the climactic trucker convoy sequence earned praise, critics found the elephant premise silly and the overall execution lazy and contrived.
