What are your pros and cons of Smokey and the Bandit 3?

My pros are great performances by Jackie Gleason as Buford T. Justice and Mike Henry as Junior, pacing, good car chases, Jackie Gleason's one liners and Burt's cameo

My cons are the Enoses having alot more screentime than the first two films put together, Jerry Reed as the Bandit (he was alot better as the Snowman), Colleen Camp was an inferior replacement for Sally Field and the Trans Am they used in the movie, I didn't like the early third generation of the Firebird's at all.

Pros: Gleason as Buford and some of the funniest lines in film history!
Cons: Pretty much everything else.

Pros: much more action than part two, more funny back and forth between Buford and Junior, and I liked the introduction of the new style Trans-Am. It was something different to look at than the older larger F-bodies and seemed more nimble.

Cons: this movie was scripted, acted, directed and produced by complete retards.
