Edward Havens returns from paternity leave to revisit 1983's Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. We examine Universal Studios' sequel with returning stars Jackie Gleason and Jerry Reed (plus Burt Reynolds, just barely), discussing why it landed so hard amongst that year’s sequel bombs. Perfect for 80s film fans looking for concise history.
