Yeah,

"Mean machine" with Burt Reynolds as the ex-pro football quarterback and "Jaws" from the James Bond movies as a police officer. Eddie Albert was the warden.

In the end, Burt goes to fetch a stray ball, Albert delcares that he is trying to escape and to shoot him. Just before they do, he bends down, picks up the ball, and heads back. Whew.

I guess they just trade the stray football, with a stray soccer ball, how creative.


I can't wait for the Cricket version or the Bocci ball version.
