Smokey and the Bandit Part 3
“Smokey's Back! And The Bandit is at it again!”
Synopsis
The Enos brothers persuade Cletus, known as The Bandit, to emerge from hiding and assist them in promoting their new restaurant. After some encouragement, he agrees, using an aging pickup truck named Trigger as his vehicle. However, his longtime rival, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, is determined to track him down, prompting Cletus and Trigger to take to the road. Can they avoid the vengeful sheriff's pursuit?

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office
1983 · Box office
📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
