Burt Reynolds briefly reprises his role as The Bandit in SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT PART 3 (1983). The film was originally entitled SMOKEY IS THE BANDIT, with Jackie Gleason playing both Sheriff Buford T. Justice and the Bandit. According to the legend, test audiences reacted poorly, finding Gleason's two roles confusing, and so the Bandit scenes were re-shot with Jerry Reed playing the role. At the end of the film, Buford finds Cledus and begins to apprehend him, but Buford then imagines Cledus to be the "Real" Bandit (Reynolds cameo appearance) who sweet talks him to letting him go and starting a new pursuit. © Universal Pictures

Roth admitted he was "not comfortable" appearing opposite Heston, then president of the National Rifle Association. "I come from the exact opposite end of the political spectrum. Burton had to persuade me to do it. Finally, I decided that it was okay because it's fiction." Heston had no problem with his brief scene even though it highlights the perceived violent nature of firearms, says producer Richard D. Zanuck. "I was apprehensive when we wrote the scene and sent it to him. We didn't hear back from him for a while. Finally, I called him up and asked him what he thought of the lines. He said, 'Oh yeah, I think they're wonderful.' I thought, 'Oh, thank God, we got away with the gun'." © 20th Century Fox
