action

The Republican "Big Enos Burdette" wants to run as a candidate for governor in Texas . The internal party election campaign against competitor John Coen literally turns into a mud fight. Burdette is then confronted by the incumbent governor and overhears by chance that he is ordering the transport of a box from Miami to the party congress in Texas - as it later turns out, it contains a cow elephant (the Republican heraldic animal). Burdette decides to steal the box and secretly transport it to Texas himself in order to be celebrated as a savior at the congress and so improve his chances of being elected. For the transport he hires the two truckers “Bandit” and “Snowman” again. Too bad that Bandit was abandoned by his girlfriend "Frog" and became an alcoholic. "Snowman" tries to make him fit for the new task, which ultimately succeeds.

Once again pursued by Sheriff Buford T. Justice and his dumb son, a series of action-packed car chases result, at the end of which the bandit and snowman can deliver the elephant on time in Dallas and escape the sheriff's access again.

Synchronizations

To the regret of many fans, the original dubbing from 1980 was re-recorded. The following list gives an overview of the synchronization speakers of the two versions:

The fan base regrets the new (2nd) synchronization version with the fact that the pun and the charm of the individual characters suffer a lot. Because of this, the film received negative reviews in many cases (especially on Amazon.de). A version with the old or original synchronization version is currently not available.

criticism

The Lexicon of International Films saw a sequel in which "a poor story with spectacular action scenes is turned into undemanding entertainment."

TV Spielfilm called the film a "sloppy sequel" with "a lot of clatter and little brains".

Sequels

1983 followed with Das Auskochte Schlitzohr III, the third and last part of the series, in which Burt Reynolds only has one cameo and Jerry Reed is on the road as a "bandit". The director took Dick Lowry .

In 1994, again directed by Hal Needham, there was a four-part series of televised films about the character Bandit , with the title role played by Brian Bloom .

  • Bandit - A boiled rascal takes off
