And the rest, in the words of that line from The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds, the rest, history.

He was in Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman, Harold and Maude, The Cowboys, The Longest Yard, The Outlaw Josie Wales, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Disney alert.
Chris BerrymanHOST
A lot of you may recognize him from Pete's Dragon, which was released to the same year as this episode, 1977.

It's something of a descendant of a boxing movie like Body and Soul.

We haven't talked about that in a while.
Brian SaurHOST
But then you have things like Legend of Lila Clare and The Killing of Sister George.
Brian SaurHOST
All these are very interesting latter career movies for a guy who made The Dirty Dozen and The Longest Yard.
Brian SaurHOST
Just unexpected when you watch them.
JosephHOST
You know, uh-
JimHOST
Comes straight off The Longest Yard to this one.
JosephHOST
So good.
JosephHOST
So good.
Dave HatfieldGUEST
And our prison isn't like San Quentin where you have the glass, uh, dividers.
Dave HatfieldGUEST
It's more like way back in the day with Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard, where it's just open.

For his football.
Brian BecknerHOST
just...
Brian BecknerHOST
So the cons with their 11 practices that they'd had are running it up against the five-time semi-pro Super Bowl runner-up guardsman.
Brian BecknerHOST
The Mean Machine is just really kicking their ass.
Brian BecknerHOST
It's halftime.
Neal E. FischerHOST
Totally different episode.
Neal E. FischerHOST
Yeah, he was in The China Syndrome and The Longest Yard for those that remember.
Neal E. FischerHOST
But, um, but yeah, actually, what's interesting about what I'm talking about today is it's something I didn't know anything about.
Neal E. FischerHOST
I mean, I kind of, um, a little... knew a little bit about it, I suppose, just tangentially.
Frank CalvilloHOST

The film itself was also nominated for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and unfortunately lost to The Longest Yard.
Frank CalvilloHOST
In lieu of final thoughts, I'm just going to jump into what happened after production wrapped on this film.
Frank CalvilloHOST
So the original intent was that the film be a traditional epic that ran for about three hours with an intermission in between.
