Just got a newsfeed message come up on my phone to say that Burt Reynolds has passed away (82)

Apparently it was cardiac arrest.

He was a brilliant actor and i used to watch loads of his films when i was a kid.

He will be sadly missed.
 
I always wanted a Trans Am when i was younger, cool car.

Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage built one for his mate and re-enacted scenes from the film Smokey and the Bandit in one of his series.......funny.
 
RIP Burt Reynold, you were one of the best actors and I remember so many movies with you :(

I still have a lot of your movies on a list for movies that I want to see.

But I have also seen many of your movies and thanks for some great movies like

100 Rifles

Smokey and the Bandit 1 and 2, and I am sure the 3rd would also have been good if you had been in the movie.

The Cannonball Run 1 and 2,the 3rd was ok but would for sure again have been better with you in the movie.

He was superb in Boogie Nights. From what I've read he was concerned with the content of the film. He was definitely an interesting character.
 
Always remember " the longest yard" as a kid, not seen it since, thought it was called mean machine, but that was his nick name or the teams name??, not really into American Football, but loved the film as a kid, must re watch it, to see how it stands up now, remember shouting mean machine , mean machine around the play ground,
I think he always played Burt Reynolds in his films though
good actor, RIP,
 
Legend of the 80's Burt Reynolds, loved Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run, family favourites. Used to watch Cannonball Run with my sisters and cousins and constantly quote from it. "Bye bye nice officer!" :D Those movies were so of their time and all the motors and get-up and everything were awesome. Loved the bloopers at the end too. He was a good actor and had great on screen charisma. My Mum loved him. Real shame, won't be forgotten :wink:
 
Always loved films like smokey & the bandit & cannonball run, he will be missed, I thought the new take on the classic was fantastic & a nice homage to him with the Bandit edition trans am - want one!!

Mean Machine was its UK title - Vinny Jones did a remake :shock:

I loved Burt as Richard Chubby in My Name is Earl, bit of a niche role as I've not seen in mentioned in any obituary :lol:
