Presented within this glorious compendium are some of the legend’s most celebrated, yet disparate works, each accompanied by a slew of extras for your viewing pleasure. Sit back, relax and prepare to enjoy the BOX OF BURT.

From his start in the 50s as a humble stunt man to the dizzying heights of the number one box office draw in the world, Burt Reynolds career has had an indelible impact on the very psyche of Hollywood. From Native American Warrior to Cowboy Conman, from Moonshine Runner to Nascar Hero, from Judge to Porn Producer, Burt’s career is one of the most eclectic and diverse in the business. Traversing feature films, Long-running TV shows, theatre, and even a brief stint as a talk show host, Burt has truly done it all with both style and panache... and a pretty awesome moustache!

THE CANNONBALL RUN

Drivers compete in a no-holds-barred race across the United States. Featuring an all-star cast including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett, Jackie Chan, Roger Moore, Peter Fonda, Adrienne Barbeau, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr.

CANNONBALL RUN 2

When a wealthy Sheikh offers up a million dollar prize, drivers from around the world gather once more to compete in the cross-country marathon car race: The Cannonball Run. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Burt Reynolds, Jackie Chan, Dom DeLuise, Frank Sinatra, Telly Savalas, Richard Kiel and Ricardo Montalban.

THE BEST LITTLE *****HOUSE IN TEXAS

When the popular Chicken Ranch brothel in Texas is targeted by a moralistic TV media crusader (Dom DeLuise), the brothel’s buxom madam, Miss Mona (Dolly Parton), teams up with the local Sherriff (Burt Reynolds) to save the cathouse from closure in this song-and-dance comedy adapted from the smash-hit Broadway musical.

STROKER ACE

When NASCAR driver Stroker Ace (Burt Reynolds) signs a contract with a new sponsor (Ned Beatty) without reading it, he is forced into a series of hilarious stunts that could cost him his career, his dignity and his sanity. Also stars Loni Anderson, Jim Nabors, Parker Stevenson and Buba Smith with a surpise cameo by the Mistress Of The Dark herself, Cassandra ‘Elvira’ Peterson.

THE MAN WHO LOVED WOMEN

Blake Edwards' all-star romantic comedy features Burt Reynolds as David, a sculptor who is also an incurable womanizer but when things go south in both the studio and the bedroom, he seeks out the assistance of a beautiful psychiatrist (Julie Andrews). All is going well and David is able to make some real breakthroughs until the unthinkable happens and he falls in love with his therapist.

Huh; that's the main reason I pre-ordered this, but I also like the Cannonball Run movies. Never saw the other ones. Hopefully they're good transfers. I heard Megaforce was a disaster.

This is now sold out. The wording on the website is somewhat vague but I would assume there is a regular retail version also coming without all this:
5 x Box of Burt vintage ad cards
2 reversible posters
Musky Sexy Burt Air Freshener
Share the Burt Bumper Sticker
Booklet full of Burt

If not, I guess it’s gone, which is fairly impressive… and unlikely.

Wow!! Got my order in just in time!

Damn didn't get round to ordering it, they must realise that making more boxes means more $.

Holy shit! In all my years of looking at physical media packaging, this might be the greatest design I've seen. So awesome!

But with that said, I have zero interest in owning any of these movies.

Fantastic, missed out on the first batch of pre-orders

Umbrella had to ditch the artwork of Burt in his birthday suit and change the packaging

[pikwik]

Looks like they re-designed the box art and bumper sticker

It's a very famous picture and they probably got a cease and desist letter from Cosmopolitan magazine or the estate of photographer Francesco Scavullo.

as long as no one changes the image on this site..........

I emailed Umbrella and got this response:

The Box of Burt will have a standard edition. This will come without the posters, air freshener, bumper sticker and ad cards.

It will be the same price though, the extras are a pre-order bonus.
