Movies that could not be made in today’s world

The speed limit would have been 55 at the time the movie was made. The shortest route I see says 626 miles, so a minimum of 11.4 hours one way if you can go 55 the entire time. The only way to do it is to get a blocker so the truck can exceed the speed limit and not draw attention.

I thought the bet in Smokey and the Bandit was 400 cases of Coors in 28 hours. The easy way would have been to fly to Texas, rent a truck, fill it with the beer, and drive to Atlanta.

What was the deal with taking Coors east of Texas, anyway?
