Burt Reynolds has passed away

[bosk70]

Always remember " the longest yard" as a kid, not seen it since, thought it was called mean machine, but that was his nick name or the teams name??, not really into American Football, but loved the film as a kid, must re watch it, to see how it stands up now, remember shouting mean machine , mean machine around the play ground,
I think he always played Burt Reynolds in his films though
good actor, RIP,

Mean Machine was its UK title - Vinny Jones did a remake :shock:

I loved Burt as Richard Chubby in My Name is Earl, bit of a niche role as I've not seen in mentioned in any obituary :lol:

thanks for the info Spoons, so I'm not going mad as I thought it was mean machine, bet the Vinny Jones one went straight to video :lol:
Saw most of the Earl episodes don't remember that, was he in more than one episode ?? do you know what season?

no problem, I knew it as Mean Machine too but saw the longest yard mentioned in an obituary which discussed the name change.

rather embarassingly I quite enjoyed Vinny's efforts

Burt was Little Chubby's dad who first ran the strip club, and who wanted Catalina to do her 'Jump' act again Season 2, Jump for Joy

He was only in one or two others as he shot himself doing vodka shots form a gun. Little Chubby was in far more episodes. I love My Name is Earl - one of my all time favourite Randy quotes: He's not just drunk, he's uncle Roger drunk :lol:

Always loved films like smokey & the bandit & cannonball run, he will be missed, I thought the new take on the classic was fantastic & a nice homage to him with the Bandit edition trans am - want one!!
