One of many nails in Burt's career..........2006-08-12

This film (along with the Cannonball Run movies) pretty much destroyed Burt Reyonlds's career. It's a shame, because anyone who has seen Deliverance knows that Burt Reyonlds can actually act. Instead, he wanted to be a "good ole boy", and he did a plethora of airheaded, terrible films like this. Reportedly, Burt turned down the role of the astronaut in Terms of Endearment for this. Now that's depressing!

Not a four or five star film, but certainly didn't deserve the * that socalled expert critics gave it!.......2006-05-28

Reynolds, Beatty, Anderson, Nabors and
even Bubba Smith are very fine in here.
Funny, short Comedy movie about egoman-
iac NASCAR (BACK WHEN THE SPORT WAS worth
watching!) driver and hillbilly friends
and pit crew who keep running out of spon-
sors. Reynolds signs on with fried chicken
magnate Beatty without reading the fine
print of contract, to his dismay. Lonie
and Burt started a relationship after
meeting on this set! Funny, especially
Jerry Reed's critique at the end in
outtakes! Director Hal Needham's best
effort with Reynolds! I really like it.

stroker ace.......2006-03-15

It's an oldy but a goody. Looked all over for it for my boyfriend and was so glad I could make his day and find it. He can sit there and watch it over and over. Really good movie.

burt's last stand as a good ole boy and it skinks.......2006-01-27

this movie more than any other helped kill what was left of burt reynolds acting rloes for the rest of the 80's and keeped him on t.v. till "boggie nights". not one laugh or even a good chuckle to be had in this mess that was realesased very quickly and went under the waves even faster than "heat" did. man what a waste of time and money. no stars but they make you give it one.

A NASCAR Lovers Dream.......2005-07-13

If your a hard core NASCAR lover I would recomend this movie, youll see a bunch of legendary drivers doing camios. Too include the very best Dale Earnheart!!! And there all back when they were just coming into the sport its a blast seeing them all so young!!!
The Chemistry between Burt and wife Loni is great to bad they wound up divorcing!! Youd never guess by this film!
Jim Neibors away from his normal " Gomer Pyle" is great.
I would also recomend if you like Burt and Jim in this that you see them in "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", also with Dolly Parton doing her famouse song,that Whitney Huston stole and ruined, "I will always love you".

Description

Great times with the good ol' boy! Burt Reynolds takes the wheel in Stroker Ace (Disc 1/Side A), a roaring stock-car-racing comedy co-starring Loni Anderson and featuring real-life Daytona International footage. Sally Field teams with Reynolds in Hooper (Disc 1/Side B), the affectionate and much-admired salute to movie stunt people. When the boss says jump...Hooper says how far down?! And Atlanta nights have never been hotter than when vice cop Reynolds (who also directs) puts the heat on big-time criminals in the volatile thriller Sharky's Machine (Disc 2). It's a lean, mean, powerful machine, fueled by an enduringly popular star in peak form.

burt always awesome!!!.......2007-07-18

Here is an icon in his prime. Stroker Ace may be very silly, but Hooper and Sharkey's Machine are genuine works of art for the era. They set up the framework for action comedy/melodrama for now. I love these movies. I wish Burt could still do what he did. He will always be awesome in my book. One note, I wish these movies were in widescreen.

3 of Burt's best.......2007-05-12
