His output in the '70s and '80s was full of some of the most fun, freewheelin' films ever made. Loved him in Boogie Nights, too.

Was he attached to Tarantino's "Once Upon..." movie? I wonder if he shot his scenes before his passing.

Time to fire up Boogie Nights in his honor.

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
Guess I finally need to watch Striptease in his honor!
And I’m assuming he completed all his scenes for OUTIH. |

:rip: If you have Prime, you should check out The Last Movie Star. I pretty decent movie where he's essentially playing himself past his prime. |

RIP Burt Reynolds. I loved watching Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run when I was growing up. I taped them off ABC and watched them whenever I was sick and I was sick a lot growing up.

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
I think The Longest Yard was my favorite BR movie.
RIP Burt. |
Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
I am chuckling with tears in my eyes right now. His career was so great...and so goofy. His off screen antics were frequently even more goofy. He was an absolute icon, in the sense that they broke the mold. We will not see his kind again.

He was. I'm sure news about that will be forthcoming.

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
I met him when I was a kid and he was filming Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The house was down the road from my aunts farm, so it was a short walk there. Very nice guy from what I remember. And of course growing up on Smokey and Canonball movies makes this passing hard. RIP Burt, thanks for the fun. Eastbound and down.

I've always enjoyed his films. |
Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
Sad to hear. I'll have to check out The Last Movie Star. RIP, Burt. 10-4 :(

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
Burt and Dom DeLuise cracking up in Cannonball outtakes always makes me smile.

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
I think we forget he was a good director too. Sharky's Machine is still one of my favorite cop films.

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
Norm MacDonald has said they were going to do a Celebrity Jeopardy sketch on SNL, where he was playing Burt "Turd Ferguson" Reynolds, only to have the REAL Burt show up on set and knock Norm out. Then he was going to take over the buzzer, and start answering questions even stupider than Norm was. Kinda bummed we'll never see that. RIP, Burt

Re: RIP: Burt Reynolds -- Dead at 82
Part of my childhood died today. As a kid, I think all little boys wanted to grow up and be Burt Reynolds. RIP. Also, I had no idea he turned down some amazing acting gigs in his lifetime. I can't imagine him as Han Solo.
Reynolds' career also is marked by the movies he didn't make. Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Willis surely were grateful after he turned down the roles of Han Solo, retired astronaut Garrett Breedlove and cop John McClane in Star Wars, Terms of Endearment and Die Hard, respectively. He often said that passing on James L. Brooks' Endearment was one of his worst career mistakes. (Nicholson won an Oscar for playing Breedlove.) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...edium=referral |
