    • Trivia
      Jackie Gleason's scenes were filmed first because he was ill and he wanted to be finished with the movie as soon as possible.
    • Goofs
      When Buford's sheriff's car drops into the river from the bridge, it is clear that there is a mannequin placed in the driver's seat. The left arm is fixed along the driver side door, and never moves during the fall.
    • Quotes

      Junior: Daddy, look at that big ugly alligator.

      Buford T. Justice: That reminds me; I gotta call yo' mama tonight.

      Junior: You know, Daddy, I like this place. All the 'gators and snakes and stuff. Why don't we move down here?

      Buford T. Justice: Why don't YOU move down here?

      Junior: Oh no, Daddy, I ain't NEVER leavin' home. That's a promise.

      Buford T. Justice: Don't you ever, EVER threaten yo' daddy like that again!

    Just in case you missed the sign...
    All in all, a childishly fun revisiting of the characters and story. It'll help if you're already a big fan of cowboys, big trucks, and car jumps, and, of course, the first film.

    A lot of drama went on behind the scenes during the shooting, and at times can be glimpsed on the screen, including Sally's and Burt's strained relationship, Jackie Gleason's health, and Hal Needham's direction.

    The sign in front of the church wonderfully demonstrates the level of humor throughout this movie:

    "Texarkana Reformed, United, Evangelical, Fundamental Church Of God, The Twelve Apostles And Assorted Saints"
