- TriviaBurt Reynolds famously turned down a role in the feature film, Terms of Endearment (1983) for this film, saying it was the biggest regret of his career. He had made a verbal commitment to Hal Needham to do this by the time he was offered the Garrett Breedlove role in that film, but said in hindsight Needham could have waited, since "the world was not clamoring for another Reynolds car chase picture".

Featured review
Unfortunately, there was no turning back for Burt Reynolds and his buddy writer/director Hal Needham after "Stroker Ace". "Stroker Ace" is not as bad as its reputation. It does have some funny moments and there is a good story in there somewhere. It's just there is a bunch of pretty bad stuff in there too. The major problem is that Burt's supporting cast is surprisingly weak. Jim Nabors, Loni Anderson and Parker Stevenson are all in over their heads. Anderson is dreamy at times but she's also kind of annoying with that giant hair. The only cast member that did a good job was the always reliable Ned Beatty. I watch "Stroker Ace" every once in a while. As far as career killing movies go, it's an okay watch.
