It's sad, but nowhere near as sad as it is for Archer.

RIP Burt.

HE was one of the greats.  Always made me laugh watching the smokey films..  RIP Bandit.  May all the heavenly smokies stay off your tail!.

While I would say only a few of his films were what would be considered by critics to be quality films you always KNEW Mr. Reynolds was going to entertain you. Gotta love him for that.

RIP Burt.

Yeah, I had to click over and watch the clip where he was driving to rescue Lana and the Vice clip where Archer is driving the blocker for the tour bus.
