Many more driving shots in the finale of the film were needed after shooting in Georgia was complete, so the additional shots were "picked up" in Southern California. These shots were filmed in and around Ojai, California (including when Frog is driving the car after picking up Bandit at the "Choke and Puke," various wide driving shots of the Trans Am and Kenworth being chased by the Georgia State Patrol immediately before the helicopter appears, and the young women welcoming the Bandit with a large banner). The "Smokey Round-Up Red 22" sequence was largely filmed in Lake View Terrace, California (just outside of Los Angeles). Many "California" and "Georgia" shots are inter-cut immediately before the Bandit and Snowman make their way to the racetrack at the end of the film, and can be distinguished by whether or not the shot features a 1973 Dodge Polara as a Georgia State Patrol car. If this car is seen, the shot was done in California.
