Corrected entry: Mountie Police cars are not red in colour. They are blue and white. Clearly filmmakers assumed cars matched colour of uniforms.

Correction: Mounties uniforms are not red. Those are dress uniforms used mostly for graduation from depot, special events, and for formal ceremonies. The everyday uniform is dark blue. In 1980, while most RCMP cars were blue (almost purple) and white, they did have ghost cars of any color. And current RCMP cars are white with striping kits. They have not been blue and white since the late 80s.

Corrected entry: Cletus goes to Bandit's motel room at night while he's drunk and calls Frog who is marrying Junior again in the daylight. She then comes to Bandit's motel room to meet him that same night (seemingly in a matter of minutes) and when she gets there, Bandit somehow is completely sober.

Correction: She didn't meet the bandit that same night.

Corrected entry: The Bandit says that he's the only person "to have drunk up a Trans Am," meaning he traded it away on alcohol. But he didn't have his Trans Am at the end of the first movie; he made his escape in a Cadillac and left the Trans Am behind (most likely for the police to find and impound).

Correction: "Most likely" doesn't count. They didn't show what happened to the Trans Am, so it is up to your imagination what happened between the two movies.

Revealing mistake: When the sheriff's car is flipped upside down, the sign behind the car is upside down too, so you can tell the car isn't really upside down.

Junior: Well, when I put bullets in it, daddy, it gets too heavy.

Trivia: In the huge scene with the big rigs and all, the police car crashes off of the car trailer truck. But this stunt was really a world record for the longest car stunt that was powered by the car's own engine. The distance was well over 100 feet.

Question: In the movie, Buford shoots two flying bottles whilst holding the gun at his hip. Is that even possible?

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: Technically, yes, but no matter how adept the shooter, such a trick would always rely more on luck than skill. Shooting from the hip makes it impossible to aim any better than "in the general direction of the target."
