I have never seen either, although I was once seriously involved with a guy whose favorite film was that Condor one. (I think I’m better off now.) Me, my tastes run more towards Condorman.

Don’t Do It! 2 is insipid where the first was funny, and 3 is 90 minutes of your life that you’ll never, ever get back.

Sadly, I think the dwindling efforts in the sequels really effected the perception of just how much fun the first movie is. What came as easy humor and good chemistry in the first film became forced and almost smarmy as the flicks went along. I mean, Burt realized that ship was sinking and wasn’t even in the 3rd “installment”

I called my wife “Frog” once. She didn’t get it. I cried…

Oh, yeah, we were watching it last night while I typed this post, so yeah, I was serious. We’re planning on 2 and 3 over the weekend. Our expectations are lower than zero, so I hope they’re not disappointed.

C’mon, Johanna…Smokey and the Bandit is a classic of comedy! Granted, the following flicks were not even train wreck level fare, but…
