<P> In the UK, the heavily dubbed version was shown for a number of years, particularly by the BBC . However, in more recent years, the original version has been shown (on ITV, a commercial channel), usually with the stronger language edited out, often quite awkwardly and noticeably . </P> <P> The theatrical release itself had a few lines deleted, including a creative edit in which Sheriff Justice tells a state trooper to "fuck off ." His expletive is obscured when a passing big rig sounds its horn . At the time, using the' F' word would immediately require an R rating and this clever self - censorship allowed the film to avoid this rating and reach a much larger audience . However, the scene and the obscured expletive was played for comedy value and written as such, with the passing truck being the gag of the scene more than a way to avoid the censors . </P> <P> In 2006, a DVD re-release was issued of Smokey and the Bandit featuring a digitally - remastered audio track with 5.1 Dolby - compatible surround sound . It should be noted however that many of the film's original sounds were replaced . For instance, the diesel engine start and run up sequence in the opening sequence of the film was completely dubbed over with a totally new sound . A few other examples of "sound effect replacement" occur when Bandit takes off after managing to get a reluctant Cledus involved in the bet, and after he comes to a screeching halt on a roadway moments before picking up Carrie . Some of the original sound effects (such as Cledus' dog Fred's barking) and music (such as the final chase to the Southern Classic) were removed and not replaced . (Note: earlier DVD releases and the 40th Anniversary Blu - ray of the film have the original soundtrack intact .) </P> <P> Major portions of the audio' background' have been modified with different engine sounds or tire squeals from the original film . The updated version of the film features sounds inaccurate for what would be produced by the Trans Am or the numerous other Pontiac vehicles in the film . The original film had correct sounds that were usually recorded live as the action took place . </P>
