Found a double dvd of these two in the bargain bin at Walmart.
The original from ‘74 with Burt Reynolds is one of my favorites. And I had never seen the re-make, only bits and pieces. Not nearly as good as the original, but as re-makes go, it’s not bad.
In 1974, Reynolds was one of the top actors, but I’m much more fond of “White Lightning” and “Gator”, but then those are more car movies.
Love Burt thrashing that Citroen in the opening scene. One of the better car chases from any movie.
