Iconic Movie Cars 07

Iconic Movie Cars 07


'Smokey and the Bandit' - 1977 Pontiac Trans Am

The 1977 movie "Smokey and the Bandit" tells the story of a man illegally hauling beer across state lines. The truck is led by a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am driven by Bo "Bandit" Darville, portrayed by Burt Reynolds. He drives in a spirited fashion designed to distract the authorities from the truck, sort of like an automotive rodeo clown.

The car used in the movie is a second-generation Firebird Trans Am, which appeared in the 1980 sequel "Smokey and the Bandit II" and in 1978's "Hooper," also starring Reynolds. Fans who want one for themselves can find a red and white model in mint condition for $25,500 through Hemmings Motor News.

TV, Woody Allen as Alvy Singer from Annie Hall (1977)


[In California]
Annie Hall: It's so clean out here.
Alvy Singer: That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.

AFI #008 Harrison Ford as Han Solo from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

Luke: So. You got your reward and you're just leaving, then?
Han Solo: That's right, yeah. Got some old debts I gotta pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.
[Luke and Han are about to go their separate ways; Luke is upset that Han still plans to leave after receiving his reward]
Luke: Come on. Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.
Han Solo: What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like... suicide.
Luke: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?
[starts to storm off]
Han Solo: Hey, Luke!
[Luke stops and turns to face him]
Han Solo: [begrudgingly] May the Force be with you.
[Luke exits. Chewbacca growls]
Han Solo: [to Chewbacca] What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doin'.
