Wow, I'm lovin' this theme of disposable women, too--Reggie's attempted bar conquests, Racist Cop Guy's neglect of his wife being played up as faintly wacky, the practically voiceless hostages, the (cough) "dykes" whose home they invade and push around...
This film is doing exactly what it needed to, though: reminding me that despite the ongoing political shitshow, our culture has evolved tremendously for the better in the last 40 years--at least, in some parts of the damn country--and this ENRAGES our political enemies.

"It's not where you're going that counts, it's who the hell's in back of you."
OK, if the trailer is any indication, Smokey and the Bandit might be a relative source of wisdom, 'cause that's actually pretty good advice.
I'm gonna give it a shot. It's got a cute basset hound and it hates cops as much as we do, what could go wrong?

@zebratron2084 ... a few things shall likely go wrong... but it will be better than 48 Hours.

But first, a little preparatory viewing. (I'm raising a glass to you here, @Valerie_Elysee. <3 )
