In this comedy film, Burt Reynolds is an adventurer who decides to participate in an illegal and popular road race all over the country. There's an all-star cast of racers (Jackie Chan, Farrah Fawcett, Peter Fonda, Dean Martin, Sir Roger Moore, Sammy Davis, Jr. and others) that will do anything to outrun all the difficulties (including the police) and win the race. This action-comedy was based on an actual event: the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, a cross-country outlaw road race that has grown to legendary proportions.
A wide variety of eccentric competitors participate in a wild and illegal cross-country road race. However, the eccentric entrants will do anything to win the road race, including low-down, dirty tricks.
I rented this movie on a whim cause it had cars in it, and was about the Cannonball Run, plus an all star cast. I have to say i was somewhat disappointed with this movie, while it is a comedy, there wasn&#39;t much car based action and the best of it was at the start of the movie with the intro credits with the Lamborghini being chased by the cop car.<br/><br/>The movie seemed to drag out in places, especially at the start, and not a whole deal of focus on the cars themselves. It&#39;s not all bad, the character interaction and the comedy was top stuff, enjoyable movie for that, but for a movie to do with an across country race it did lack in the action department with the cars, yeah there is a couple things thrown in here and there for good measure, but never really did much for me.<br/><br/>Good comedy, but even that could of been better slightly, the doctor had so much potential but was rarely used. If anything Farrah Fawcet was one of the redeeming qualities, but even her character wasn&#39;t used greatly, not that it mattered as she was more eye candy *and also bringing the movie&#39;s rating up slightly for me ;) and she had her high beams on at the start of the movie too hahaha* Lastly, while Jackie Chan was in this movie, he barely had any interaction at all with any of the other cast<br/><br/>Overall a relatively enjoyable movie i could watch many a time, but had a lot of potential in many areas to be better. A classic? well that&#39;s purely for you to decide, but for me, i&#39;m not so sure
A rich Sheik organises an illegal cross country race in order to bring together the best drivers from all over the world. The drivers all race over several days to be the first to collect the finish line by fair means or foul.<br/><br/>This was set at the high of the days when car chase/car crash movies were all the rage with Smokey and the Bandit et al. So to complain that this movie doesn&#39;t make sense or is only really brainless eye candy is to miss the point. Yes – the plot makes no sense – why didn&#39;t those cars with two drivers just work shifts while the other&#39;s slept etc, also some of the vehicles are clearly not in the same league as the others (but still keep up!). However it&#39;s still funny and amusing in a really brain dead way and it&#39;s quite fun to watch while sitting in neutral!<br/><br/>The cast are great (on paper) with a list of stars. However any comedy relying on Dom DeLuise and Reynolds is never going to be great! Fawcett and Barbeau are hotter than I&#39;ve ever seen them anywhere else, and the film uses the whole `girls in catsuits&#39; thing shamelessly well! The majority of the cast are really window dressing – Martin, Davis Jnr, Chan, Moore etc but all are OK – if you&#39;re happy with the film as a whole then performances are not really what you&#39;ll be looking for I guess.<br/><br/>The comedy is pretty lame – the outtakes are hilarious but really only show up how basic and lacking in spark the rest of the film is. The dumb action is good if you&#39;re in a veggie mood but really this is very basic. The star cast make up for some of the weakness and keep the interest but really the outtakes are the best bits.
Cross-country race of the title comes off as almost entirely incidental to the star turns. Overall effect is akin to watching the troupe take a vacation.
Yes, the script writer, Brock Yates, was inspired to write the screenplay by a real race that took place four times in the 1970s called Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. <br/><br/>Yates himself has a bit part in the movie as the &quot;Organizer&quot;, the man who speaks to the racers right before they leave.
