I've only posted here in some Its Always Sunny threads so forgive me if I'm germans. Did a google search and didn't find this specific topic on the board.

Hypothetically, if they were to remake Smokey and the Bandit who would you cast?

Here are my thoughts:
Bandit = Vince Vaughn
Cletus = Matthew McConoghey
Big Enos = Shaq O'Neil
Lil Enos = Dave Chappelle
Jr. = John C. Riley
Buford T Justice = Will Farrell
Frog = Scarlett Johannson
Sherrif Branford = Samuel L. Jackson (he does sound a lot taller on the radio!)
Kansas City Show Folk will not be cast, just mentioned in name only as before
El Diablo Sandwich = still played by El Diablo Sandwich
Don't ask about hush puppies cause we ain't got time for that shite!

In this version, Junior isn't the sheriff's son, he's his sister's son. Justice had to hire Junior as a deputy sheriff to shut up his overbearing sister. She has tasked Sheriff Justice with taking Junior and finding Frog because of the hurt she's caused his son.

Big Enos and Lil Enos are wealthy Morehouse Alumni wanting Coors for a weekend party. Still set in the 70s cause I can't figure out what they would be bootlegging if it was current day.

Toby Keith could re-record Jerry Reed's songs for the soundtrack.

I would reverse your Bandit and Cletus choices.

Buford = Bill Murray
Jr = Phillip Seymore Hoffman

As much fun as it is thinking about it, God I hope they never remake this movie. Perfect the way it is

Here are my thoughts:
Bandit = Russell Crow
Cletus = Blake Shelton
Big Enos = Penn (of Penn & Teller)
Lil Enos = Kevin Hart
Jr. = John C. Riley
Buford T Justice = Kurtwood Smith (Dad from That 70's Show)
Frog = Mila Kundis
Sherrif Branford = Forrest Whitaker

Since relationship is involved was wondering about age difference. But hot, younger woman/older man isn't difficult to follow.

Good ones.

Well, don't just point out a problem and not provide a solution. If you think it's broke, offer a fix.

Even without Chappelle, this could be perfect.

McConoghey as the Bandit
Vince Vaughn as Cletus

Tommy Chong = Big Enos
Cheech Marin = Little Enos

the bandit is the hardest to cast for me.


i wonder if billy bob thornton could put on a few to play buford t?

the only one that really fits for me right now in my head is Junior played by Ty Burrill (Sp?) from Modern Family (Phil)
