dont front, that film is hilarity. I got the dvd you can borrow it.
Burt Reynolds is the last man -- he sweats, grunts and doesnt take shit from no one. He's got an animal charisma thats insatiable.

I am sooo with you! I'm just glad I wasn't alone on this one.

Taken from imdb.com:

Was drafted by the Baltimore Colts.

In 1968, Burt Reynolds tested for a role in the horror film Rosemary's Baby (1968), but Roman Polanski ended up casting John Cassavetes for the part.

When Francis Ford Coppola decided to make a project about the life of the famous Preston Tucker, he wanted Burt Reynolds to play Tucker.They discussed a lot about the movie and maked plans, but the film never got made, untill 1988, this time with Jeff Bridges with the role. Burt Reynolds only got Lewis Medlock's role in Deliverance (1972) after the stars who were originally choosen to play the lead, such as Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda and 'James Stewart' declined the part, after they heard about the risks of the Chatooga River.

Refused the role that earned Jack Nicholson an Oscar in Terms of Endearment (1983). To this day, Reynolds comments that this was one of his most terrible mistakes. He has also refused the part of James Bond, during the seventies,

Mentioned in the theme song of the pilot version (4 Nov 1981) of the 1980s TV hit "The Fall Guy".

Was the first actor ever asked to guest-host "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Prior to Reynolds, only comedians had been invited. His first guest? Ex-wife Judy Carne, whom he hadn't spoken to in over six years after a very bitter divorce.

Turned down the role of John McClane in "Die Hard". The role went to Bruce Willis.

Hit #88 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1980 with the song 'Let's Do SOmething Cheap and Superficial' from the film 'Smokey and the Bandit II

I love that they put 'James Stewart' in quotes...

I don't hate Burt Reynolds but I think he can sometimes be such an idiot for instance he trashed Boogie Nights before it came out saying that it was such a bad movie then when he found out it was actually good off someone else he was really upset when he didn't win an oscar I am just a hater but I hate his attitide sometimes I feel the guy doesn't have a clue.
