5/10

the most Burt Reynolds

Stroker Ace (Burt Reynolds) grew up with moonshining Seegles being chased by the cops in the backwoods. He is a reckless arrogant womanizing three-time NASCAR champ. Aubrey James (Parker Stevenson) is his ambitious young rival. Lugs (Jim Nabors) is his crew chief. He is taken with virginal Pembrook Feeney (Loni Anderson). She's Clyde Torkle (Ned Beatty)'s new employee. When Stroker loses his sponsor, he signs up with untrustworthy Fried Chicken king Torkle as The Fastest Chicken in the South. He grows to hate his contract and tries to get out of it.

This is Burt Reynolds at his most Burt Reynolds. As a kid, I didn't really mind the bad writing and didn't get some of the jokes. It wasn't my favorite racing movie but I didn't know the critical panning this received. I love Cannonball Run and I knew this is inferior. Watching it again recently gave me a few more problems. Loni is a big robotic problem. Her innocent act does not work. The writing is not that funny either. It's just a lot of camp from the cast. I don't actually hate this but it's not good.

Wissenswertes
Burt Reynolds famously turned down a role in the feature film, Zeit der Zärtlichkeit (1983) for this film, saying it was the biggest regret of his career. He had made a verbal commitment to Hal Needham to do this by the time he was offered the Garrett Breedlove role in that film, but said in hindsight Needham could have waited, since "the world was not clamoring for another Reynolds car chase picture".

During the Daytona 500 at the start of the film, the main grandstand is empty in some shots.

Stroker Ace, Lugs Harvey: Screw Second!

The film doesn't have the Universal and Warner Bros. logos at the beginning but the International theatrical and USA home media versions have Warner Bros' name credited over Universal reading "Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures present" while the USA theatrical/International home media versions use "Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. present".
