 They Actually HAD a Script...?, 2008-10-27
Cool concept, great cast, awesome movie poster...incredibly lame movie.
A lot of things could've been forgiven about THE CANNONBALL RUN if the movie had only been funny. But it's not. It's just an astounding waste of talent that ends with the amusing outtakes proving that the people who made the movie had a better time than the people who paid to see the movie.
A good friend of mine despised this movie because he said, "It's like watching a party I didn't get invited to." He took it a little too personally but you get the idea.
The shame is that I really love so many people in this: Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise look like they're having a blast, Farrah Fawcett, Addrienne Barbeau and much-too-brief Valerie Perrine never looked hotter, Roger Moore was spoofing 007 during the peak of his tenure as James Bond, and how cool to watch Rat Packers Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. clowning as leering priests...if only the script could've risen to such a cast.
The stunt sequences by Hal Needham weren't even that impressive (one summer later would see the release of one fo the great car stunt movies, THE ROAD WARRIOR).
Overall, considering everything this movie had going for it, a big disappointment.

I received this product quickly and it was just as promised. I like the movie, I have seen it before.
 Cannon Ball Run - Review, 2007-07-20
Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Peter Fonda, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Jackie Chan are all entrants in an illegal cross-country car race, and all are willing to do anything to win. Chockablock with cool cars, fast driving, wacky hi-jinx and sexual innuendos, this crowd pleaser from former stuntman Hal Needham is based on an actual car race (which the director and writer both entered driving the ambulance seen in the film).
