Ok, give me some time to get things organized. I usually send several pics per email to not jam up your inbox. The movie tour sign in is on the main page or email me directly at: thambrick@numail.org for sign up. I purchased the script book years ago, but don't remember from where, probably ebay. thanks. . .

God Bless, Tyler

I was five years old when the movie came out and we lived in Jonsboro at the time. I can remember riding around with my mother and her friend when they were filming. They'd just missed the filming of the red light scene after Bandit leaves Snowman's house. I can still remember seeing all those black marks on the road and how excited they were that they *might* get to see Burt lol!

My Dad bought my Trans-Am after the movie came out...several years later, Mother got it in the divorce and kept it. When I turned 16, I got it...I still have the original papers from the sale and the books that were in the glove box boxed up somewhere at my Mother's in Alabama. Unfortunately, I sold the car in 98 and have regretted it every second since. The Army was moving husband, baby and I to Alaska though and as all T/A owners can surely attest - that car just ain't a snow going, 50 below driving machine lol. I sure do wish I knew then what I know now...it could have sat for four years until we got back to the lower 48.

I loved that car...I still know the VIN # by heart LMAO.

Anyhow, I've never found anyone else as crazy about the movie and the T/A as I am - until tonight! Great site and great forum! Sure wish I could take the road trip coming up...gosh, you all going are so lucky!!! I hope someone will take lots of photos and share them with all of us who can't make the trip!

I'm going the United States next spring to do a road trip, coast-to-coast. I will be driving west to east and on the way I will be going by Texarkana to Atlanta. I'm thinking of trying to do this in the same timeframe as in the movie, although that seems a bit risky.

However, i think it would be a lot more interesting to see some of the actual filming locations that were used in the movie and i'm trying to come up with addresses or GPS-coordinates. Some of you seem to know pretty much about these places and any information would be helpful.

If you know anything that might help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards

I received several emails from one of the actors in the movie. He gave me alot of information and I decided to share it on my website.

Let me say first and foremost:

I did not write these letters, nor can I validate any of the information contained in them. It might vary from some previous information posted about the movie. Therefore, my intent is not to start a huge uproar, but only to post information as it was sent to me. You can be the judge. Here is the link to my web page:
