Yeah, I get all that. They also arbitrarily added about 600 miles to the trip, saying that an 1200 mile round trip was 1800 miles. I read Texarkana was in a dry county at that time as well. Really makes me think that they picked it solely for the song.

One reason they picked Atlanta was because a new interstate was being built and it made for prime filming location, they didn't have to shut down any highways or anything like that.

My favorite is Hal Needham talking about how Pontiac got the Trans Am in the movie, "I didn't know what car I was going to have the Bandit drive in the movie, I woke up one morning and Pontiac had 5 brand new of these sons of bitches sitting in my front yard with a note on the window saying we can get more if you need them, well those didn't last the first day of filming."
