Summary: Big winner
Review: Burt Reynolds plays the title character, a cocky racing veteran with a rep as a ladies man, to perfection and Parker Stevenson is the young gun after him on the race track. Jim Nabors, Bubba Smith and Loni Anderson also turn in great performances, working with Stroker Ace's team. There are lots of racing scenes and physical comedy. Stroker Ace needs a sponsor and Ned Beatty, the owner of a fast food chicken franchise, steps in. Stroker becomes known as 'the fastest chicken in the south', which makes him the butt of a lot of jokes at the track. So then he spends the rest of the movie trying to get fired so he doesn't have to do ridiculous things like dress up in chicken suits and cut ribbons at restaurant grand openings. With appearances by some of the biggest drivers of the time like Benny Parsons, Ricky Rudd and the late Dale Earnhardt, this movie is a quirky look inside the world of drivers, sponsors, crew chiefs, the media, the fans and love of the sport.

Summary: Burt Reynolds drives his fast car again. All-Star Cast.
Review: Another Burt Reynolds car-racing movie. Definately for the Smokey And The Bandit (1977), Hooper (1978) and Cannonball Run (1981) crowd. Another all-star cast: Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Jim Nabors, Parker Stevenson, Loni Anderson, John Byner, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), and many others. There is nothing wrong with your television set. The first four minutes of the movie was filmed off-tint. Out-takes during end credits. Shown in Full-Screen. No extras. No bonuses.

Summary: best race film ever
Review: as a racer myself, i have to say that this is one of the best race films on the market.It has a great cast and is verey funny. Cameo appearances by real Nascar racers makes it even that much better.It reminds me of what it is really like at a race track. If you love racing, this is a must see movie!

Summary: burt rules!!
Review: as judged00m said, he only was 16 when he watched Smokey and the Bandit which was only about three years ago. I watched it when I was 12 which was 4 years ago. I watched it again when I was 15 and fell in love with the movie and car. Stroker Ace isn't the best but it's still got its funny moments in it. I'm only 16 but I love Burt and his movies. You have to be the type of person though that's into Burt and slapstick mostly. I have 15 movies of his on dvd and am continuing to get more. He's a great guy and actor and everyone loved him. You should give this movie a chance.

Summary: Burt Lovers Unite
Review: Burt Reynolds movies are not for everyone. Everyone has there likes a dislikes and are entitled to their own opinion. It takes a certain breed of person to watch Burt Reynolds. Burt Reynolds is beyond my time, first time i saw smokey and the bandit i was 16 and that was like 3 years ago. For those who love to drive, love to watch people drive, like to watch good tasteful humor. Then Burt is for you. If you are new to Burt, check out Smokey and Bandit, Check out Hooper, Checkout Stroker Ace. These are some of the best Burt films ever made, and you will see movie sites giving the movies bad rating and what not, but thats not why you see the movie. You watch the movie for yourself, for its content, not technicality. Hell, elvis had bad rating on the 30 some odd movies he made and people still watched them, because they were cool. Burts the best, and if you havent seen them, see them. I also recommend "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", starring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. Another excellent, excellent Burt Flick.

Summary: Silly? Yes. Fun? Definitely!
Review: I remember critics really ripped into this movie when it first came out. What do THEY know, anyway???
This movie is a LOT of fun! Burt is just how you'd want him to be as Stroker, Jim Nabors is good as his sidekick,and Loni Anderon is perfect (and hot!) as Stroker's love interest. Also, let's give it up for Parker Stevenson, who does a great job as the "bad guy" Aubrey James.
Forget the critics and listen to a true Burt Reynolds fan - this is a great movie for Burt Reynolds fans!

Summary: Pre-comedy version of Day of Thunder
Review: In his typical Bandit style, Burt Reynolds does a great job with this movie. It's a great movie for Nascar fans, and if you liked/loved Days of Thunder..check this one out. Has cameo's of Dale E., Terry L. and other current favorite's. Enjoy P.S. - The only people how wouldn't like this movie are the people who think nascar is only driving fast and turning left <grrrr>

Summary: Best race film ever???
Review: Ol' Billy Bob needs to set foot outside the trailer park once in a spell and get a good ol' hunk a reality! There is nothing to recommend in this film outside of serving to kill the first phase of Reynold's career. Any film that features the singing of Nabors is clearly not covered by any law and should be banned immediately. Are there really people out there who emjoy good ol' boy humor and macho posturing?
