Goodbye Burt

[Terror Beard]

Man, what an icon he was to us that grew up in the 70s and 80s. He made some classics.

 

[SwatX1]

Absolutely. He was a good one for sure

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Gotta watch Smokey and the Bandit marathon now.

Gotta watch Smokey and the Bandit marathon now.

Was thinking the same thing! RIP Burt! U will truly be missed.

 

[Matt Laurer_rivals215771]

He was an inspiration to me. Ladies loved them some Burt!

 

[dukebluesTX]

Not gonna lie.... I had a man crush on Burt. The dude rocked. Loved most of his movies, not the least of which being Boogie Nights. One of the best movies I ever saw.

 

[skysdad]

One of my favorites. Never saw one of his movies I did not like. I liked "Evening Shade " also. OFC

 

[DukeDenver]

Loved him on SNL...

 

[Canadian Dukie]

My fav....The Longest Yard

 

[Terror Beard]

Cannonball Run is probably my favorite BR movie. But The Longest Yard, Deliverance, Smokey And the Bandit, Best Little Whorehouse and Boogie Nights are all fantastic.

 

[Showenuff]

He was badass in Deliverance.

 

[QC Dukie]

Deliverance the best hands down imo

 

[Canadian Dukie]

He was badass in Deliverance.

lol

 

[Canadian Dukie]

you mean a sore ***!

 

[Showenuff]

He was a little sore after that compound fracture, but a badass up to that point.

 

[QC Dukie]

Ned Beatty might’ve had a sore *** until BR saved him.

Burt made movies that entertained me, and I can't say that about too many stars. RIP Mr. Reynolds.

[HonkeyT]

Burt was an idol of mine growing up. I loved his charisma and wanted to be like him. We have the same laugh and my friends call him my dad lol.

RIP, Bandit.

Fun fact most of the bad guys in deliverance were cast from my area. The man bad guy “squeal like a pig” still lives in my town and I’ve met him on occasion. No joke he had a few pet squirrels and he takes them everywhere
