1Even the writer Brock Yates distanced himself from this movie.  Mar 11, 2010
Brock Yates, the originator of the actual Cannonball Run Race and writer of Cannonball Run movie even distanced himself from it when he realized during the filming that it was becoming a fictional Friends of Burt comedy movie. He mentions this in his book about the history of the Cannon Ball Run. The only movie worse is the Cannonball Run II.

A more realistic movie about cross country racing is The Gumball Rally.

5A Crazy Fun Film Filled With Stars  Jan 10, 2010
This is a crazy movie and was perfect back in the early '80s. We watched it many times back in the day and had lots of laughs. Done in the style of Smokey and the Bandit (Burt Reynolds was in both) this film has a ton of stars in the role of speed junkies that will stop at nothing to win a non-stop cross-country race. It's all in the spirit of fun and good times. I hadn't seen this movie for decades and it was a real joy to view again. It looks good on my HDTV, and I had forgotten many of the classic, funny scenes. I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane and seeing actors like Dom DeLuise (who unfortunately died in 2009) acting their best. The outtakes at the end of the movie are priceless. You'll want to watch this movie more than once to catch all the fast paced comedy.

5Great Retro Flick!  Dec 29, 2009
This is an all time classic I highly recommend. This was a family favorite back in the day, and I was so excited they had it for sale. Itseemed s little longer of a movie back when it first came out. Then again, it was 27 years ago and I was 10! Anyway, I highly would recommend this to everyone.

4Hilarious comedy based on a real race  Oct 02, 2009
If you love classic comedies, "Cannonball Run" is a must own, especially for all of the celebrities that take part in it. But, don't get the 2001 release which is only in DD 2.0 and that annoying clipper case. A brand-new 2009 DVD was released recently with 5.1 audio, superior picture and a fantastic audio commentary with director Hal Needham and producer Albert Ruddy. You learn so many fun facts about the film from it. For example, Burt and Dom's ambulance was a real race vehicle used by Hal and Brock Yates for one of the five real Cannonball Run races before the film was made where they raced it from Darion, Kentucky to Long Beach, California. It held 90 gallons of gasoline and they would get up to 145 MPH at times. A lot of the situations and characters in the movie were based on real events and people from the races. Burt, Dom, Jack Elam and Farrah's characters were all based on Hal and Brock, and a doctor and his wife that road with them during a race to make it seem like a legit ambulance if pulled over. One of the best audio commentaries I've heard in awhile and very funny. If you just want the commentary by itself, write me and I'll share it. Don't miss this movie if you have never seen it.

5The Cannonball Run DVD  Sep 26, 2009
I first saw this movie as a kid. A very good choice for any young boy, funny, exciting and most of all a classic! You never see movies like this no more.
