Have you ever heard that part 3 was apparently filmed first with Gleason playing the Bandit? But it sucked so bad they refilmed almost the whole movie. Apparenlty his estate has it and it probably won't ever see the light of day.


That I heard.

I would also direct you to this guy, who's a trader with lots of TV versions. That's quite a comprehensive list.
