Okay, um. This is a ridiculous thing to be all purist about, but I confess Smokey and the Bandit is one of my guilty pleasure movies -- it's dumb, but it's fun dumb, and that's exactly why they should leave it alone. Any modern remake would just get sexed up and loaded with all sorts of unnecessarily crass humor. Worlds of meh. (okay, I just read the link and it's even worse than I thought!)
Besides, the thing's such a product of its time. CB radio? The fact that the entire point of the run was to get Coors beer because it wasn't available in their neck of the woods? What would they do now, go Twittering down the highway with their iPhones on the way to get a microbrew? Please.
