Dusty Roads Return in Smokey and the Bandit IT
Review dismisses the sequel as a weak retread badly matching the original. It singles out Reynolds and Field for pose routines while Gleason and Reed deliver limited vaudeville, with Dom DeLuise as the stand out in a crowded cast.

Smokey and the Bandit II opens with a desert chase
The review notes Bo's fame quest clashing with humanitarian concerns including a pregnant elephant. A standout, if uneven, scene features a demolition derby style battle of trucks between the Bandit crew and Justice and allies. The film relies on cut-scene credits and yields laughs in those moments. It opens PG at the Cinema in Aiken. Also reviewed are The Blue Lagoon and Xanadu with brief notes on nudity and music credits.
