Jackie Gleason said that his cafe' scene with Burt Reynolds was not in the original story; it was Gleason's idea.
Hal Needham asked Jerry Reed to write a theme song for the film. A couple of hours later, Reed presented "East Bound and Down" to Needham. With an acoustic guitar, Reed started to play it and Needham immediately stopped him. Thinking Needham didn't like it, Reed offered to re-write the song. To which Needham replied: "If you change one note, I'll kill you!" The song went on to become one of Reed's biggest hits.
A majority of the lines and quotes spoken by Jackie Gleason's character, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, were improvised.
Buford T. Justice was the name of a real Florida Highway Patrolman known to Burt Reynolds' father who was once Chief of Police of Jupiter, Florida.
Adding the Junior Justice character was Jackie Gleason's idea. "I can't be in the car alone," Gleason said. "Put someone in there with me to play off of."
"Buford T. Justice: [to his son] There's no way, *no* way, that you came from *my* loins. Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo' momma in da mouth!"
"Sheriff Branford: The fact that you are a sheriff is not germane to the situation. Buford T. Justice: The goddamn Germans got nothin' to do with it. Junior: What did he say? Buford T. Justice: SHUT UP! ONE SHIT AT A TIME! Junior: All right."
