<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>
