Smokey and the Bandit (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) [UHD] [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Surprisingly great transfer and great atmos sound fun movie get it if you can

Anyone I know that grew up during this time, loves this movie. I'm happy to now own Smokey and the Bandit in 4K. You should go pick up a copy for yourself.

Gorgeous picture. His red shirt pops. The detail is superb. Huge upgrade over the blu-ray. Just a Fun escape 70s car chase buddy movie. So happy with this purchase.

(This review is for the June, 2021 4K release, 4K disc only): You should already know the story. Blowhard trucker takes a rich guy's dare to pick up 400 cases of Coors in Texas and deliver it to Atlanta Speedway with the clock ticking at a time when driving mass quantities of Coors to the east was illegal. A runaway bride joins along the way. Fun and mayhem ensue. It's a fun movie to watch, and worthy of repeat viewings. OK, now the 4K technical stuff. The 4K visual remaster is clean and colorful. I am not one of those guys who sits with meters nitpicking movies. The 4K version is the best version I have seen. Sometimes with 25+ year old movies there is not a whole lot of noticeable difference between the 4K and the Blu-Ray (see: Full Metal Jacket), but this 4K is much more vivid. I think this is the best Sally Field looked on screen. That said, the biggest difference is the audio remastering. If you have a cinema-quality home theater, you are going to hear a huge improvement in quality. Jerry Reed sounds like he is singing in the same room with you. If you are a big fan of the movie (like I am) or of the actors, it's worth the full retail. Otherwise, it will be a good pickup on sale.

Great movie the transfer to 4k is incredible and the sound is incredible
