Other mistake: As Buford takes off from the tow truck, a brown piece of metal is seen where there shouldn't be one. Probably for a later stunt.

1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Dick Lowry
Starring: Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Paul Williams, Pat McCormick
Continuity mistake: During the film, but mainly noticeable in the Buford/Bandit scene with the Sherrif crashing into ice, the wheels on Bandit's Trans Am change. Most of the time they are a solid black wheel, then they change into a gold wire-spoke alloys.
Buford T. Justice: Follow that sum bitch.
Question: Why did Burt Reynolds not reprise his roll as Bandit in this film?
