Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1983 racing comedy film produced by Hal Needham and starring Burt Reynolds.The movie follows the eponymous Stroker Ace (Reynolds), a driver with a big ego who finds himself in a complete mess when Clyde Torkle (Ned Beatty), the charismatic and manipulative owner of the Chicken Pit fried chicken franchise, takes advantage of Stroker's need for a sponsor and forces him to sell the Chicken Pit to NASCAR enthusiasts in increasingly humiliating ways. Stroker, along with Lugs Harvey (Jim Nabors) and Pembrook Feeney (Loni Anderson), now have to find a way to make Torkle fire Stroker before Stroker gets fed up enough to quit and be unable to race for the next three years. (It's in his contract.) | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Stroker Ace / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: When asked about singing for his acting classes, Doc mentions that he can sing, but it sounds like somebody else singing. John Byner is well-known for his talent for inventing voices, speaking in different dialects, and doing impersonations. Stroker's love of black and red evokes Smokey and the Bandit, in which Reynolds' character preferred the same color scheme (if reversed to favor black more than red). The opening theme mentions that ‘The Bandit is on your tail’, directly referring to the Skoal Bandit racecar, but invoking the Smokey movies. | |

Amazing Freaking Grace: Lugs likes to sing it to show off his singing ability, although this often seems to annoy everyone but Pembrook. | |

| Stroker Ace / int_dd6ce5db | comment |
Artistic License: Aubrey James' reckless antics on the track, particularly shoving opponents into the wall. At best, he should have been black-flagged for overly aggressive driving or intentionally causing a caution (which can be assessed at the officials' discretion). At worse, he probably should have been suspended from racing or even thrown out of NASCAR. While an outstanding moment for Arnold, the team would have penalized when he jumped over the wall to join them, as there is a set number of people who can step into the pit to work on the car.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Aside Glance | |
| Stroker Ace / int_e8e3807 | comment |
Aside Glance: Reynolds delivers his usual look to the camera after Stroker is finished undressing Pembrook and suggests that he could ravish her and no one would know about it. | |
