He enlists their help in Smokey and the Bandit II.

Justice has two brothers who are also in law enforcement, Gaylord Justice and Reginald Van Justice, both played by Jackie Gleason. She is probably racist as well, as Justice says in Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 that she joined the Ku Klux Klan and looked like an iceberg with feet when she put on her white sheet. He makes many unpleasant remarks about her, alluding that she is probably ugly, overweight, and smelly. Justice's wife, Wilhelmina, is often referred to but never seen in the films. A repeated remark Justice makes to his son throughout the trilogy is 'There is no way, NO WAY, that you could come from my loins!'. He constantly berates his son, yet Junior always remains loyal and devoted to his father. Justice mainly calls him Junior, but at times also calls him 'Moose Twit', 'Tick-Turd' and 'Barrel of Monkey Nuts' among other things. Sheriff Justice is always accompanied by his foolish, yet devoted son Junior (played by Mike Henry). Justice proceeds to have an open 'heart to heart' conversation with a hallucination of the real Bandit (Reynolds in a cameo), where he finally discovers that he had developed an unexpected fondness for the Bandit and despite the fact he was planning to retire after this run, the memory of his disastrous retirement in Miami Beach at the opening of the film and the idea of living a life with no excitement as the voice of his son overplays in his mind, Justice has second thoughts and lets him go (giving him a five-minute head start) so he can resume chasing him, thus ending the film, and the franchise, in another hot pursuit.

While Justice enjoys the idea of capturing and imprisoning the Bandit for all the things he has done to him in the past, in Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 this changes when he finally captures the Bandit (not knowing it was Cledus 'the Snowman' Snow posing as the Bandit in a plan by the Enoses to make Justice lose the bet). Justice seems to have no love for Big and Little Enos and does not 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). In 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 on the roof of his squad car (which is the logo of their 'Fish & Chips' fast food franchise), for a prize of $250,000 (Justice would have had to have given his sheriff's badge to the Enoses if he lost the bet). Justice takes any skirting of the law very personally, and says emphatically, 'What weвЂ™re dealin' with here is a complete lack of respect for the law!' When Justice does have someone in custody, he smugly draws the affair out, obviously relishing the fact he is making things as unpleasant as possible for the suspect. Indeed, he kicks a would-be tire thief in the backside as 'an attention-getter,' and he knees another in the groin. Sheriff Justice is chivalrous towards women and the elderly, yet he has no problem casually roughing up suspects (especially 'young punks') to make a point. He nonetheless remains behind the wheel of the wrecked cars and refers to them as 'evidence.' He shuns help from other law enforcement departments, often alienating them, so that he can personally apprehend the Bandit. Justice tends to take his hunt for the Bandit to the extremes and quite often this leads to the wrecking of his squad cars. While he can be charming and professional, his pursuit of the Bandit is a deeply personal affair (compounded by the fact the Bandit absconded with his son Junior's fiancee, embarrassing the Justice family as a whole).
