Character mistake: In the scene where the Bandit convinces Snowman to go with him to Texarkana, Texas, to get the beer, he says, "It's only 900 miles there and 900 miles back." In fact, it is only 557 miles between Texarkana and Atlanta, meaning they could cover the 1114-mile round trip in the pre-determined 28 hours in an average speed of 40 mph.
Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Hal Needham
Starring: Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Mike Henry, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams, Sally Field
Continuity mistake: In the scene near the end Snowman drives a truck into a load of police cars if you play it in slow motion you can see a protector around the lights.
Buford T. Justice: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.
Trivia: Three future cast members of the Dukes of Hazzard, John Schneider, Sonny Shroyer and Ben Jones have unbilled cameos. Years later, Burt Reynolds would play Boss Hogg in the Dukes of Hazzard movie.
Question: Who is the actress that plays the old lady that called herself the Good Witch of the North? Also, did she voice cartoons? I could swear her voice sounded very familiar.
Answer: My guess is the 2-headed bird on the Bugs Bunny with the vampire. I believe the bird's name was Emily. She also resembles Clarabelle or Jennifer Morrison (one of the moonshine sisters) from the Andy Griffith Show episode "Alcohol and Old Lace."
Answer: She was Mother Nature in The Year Without a Santa Claus.
She was Mrs. Claus in the year without a Santa Claus... May have also been mother nature (I don't think so though) from the same show, but definitely was Mrs. Claus.
Answer: Dorothy Stikney was the other sister.

Answer: Don't know if she did cartoon voices, but her name is Nora Meerbaum. She was in Airplane and St. Elmo's fire in the following years though so you may know her from those.
I thought the same thing. Maybe one of the Mrs Clauses in Christmas cartoons.
Shirley Booth voiced the Christmas favorites.
She looks and sounds like Shirley Booth, Mrs. Claus in The Year Without A Santa Claus (1974).
