“I wanted this movie to feel as much as possible like a cousin of Smokey and the Bandit, and Burt Reynolds had that sort of rakish good looks. He did his own stunts, he considered himself sort of a ladies' man. I feel like Knoxville has a number of those qualities. He's done so much really funny stuff, he's Southern, he's got a certain toughness to him.”
Jay Chandrasekhar
“I don't look like him; I'm Welsh and have a rugby player's build. Burt was long and sinewy, but that was OK. He said [in the documentary] he liked having pretty ladies about, and I thought that was the essence of the guy. He enjoyed life.”
Anthony Hopkins
“I wanted this movie to feel as much as possible like a cousin of 'Smokey and the Bandit,' and Burt Reynolds had that sort of rakish good looks, he did his own stunts, he considered himself sort of a ladies' man.”

Brian Frisselle
“I am really disappointed that I had to get out of the car. Burt had done a great job, and we were definitely on-track for a good top-ten finish with the RX.Com car, but I just had to get out of the car.”
