What happens

Smokey and the Bandit II is a 1980 American action comedy film directed by Hal Needham, and starring Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Dom DeLuise, Sally Field, Mike Henry, Paul Williams and Pat McCormick. The film is the second installment in the Smokey and the Bandit franchise, the second film of the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy, and a sequel to Smokey and the Bandit (1977). The film was originally released in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and several other, mainly Commonwealth, countries as Smokey and the Bandit Ride Again. The plot centers on Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed), transporting an elephant to the GOP National Convention, with Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason) once again in hot pursuit. Smokey and the Bandit II received generally negative reviews from critics, but was a box office success, grossing $66.1 million on a $17 million budget, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing domestic film of 1980 in the United States.
