buford t. justice
in the first "smokey and the bandit" and "smokey and the bandit part ii", sheriff justice is the primary antagonist to the bandit (played by burt reynolds), while in "smokey and the bandit part 3" he is the primary protagonist, as big and little enos burdette challenge him to make a run for them from miami, florida to their ranch on the outskirts of austin, texas in 24 hours, while carrying a stuffed shark (which is the logo of their "fish & chips" fast food franchise), for the prize of $250,000. justice seems to have no love for big and little enos, and doesn't hide it, as their hiring of the bandit to do their runs in the past had led buford into many humiliating predicaments while hunting the bandit, and berates them (especially on little enos, attacking him for his small stature).
