DVD The Cannonball Run
Like The Gumball Rally (1976) before it, former stuntman Hal Needham's The Cannonball Run was inspired by the same real-life cross-country road race. If The Gumball Rally was the critical favorite, The Cannonball Run was the box-office favorite (spawning the almost-as-successful sequel, Cannonball Run II, a few years later). Aside from top-billed stars Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise (stars of Needham's Smokey and the Bandit series) plus Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. (as horny priests), the movie features many of the same actors (Bert Convy, Jamie Farr) that could be found on a typical '80s episode of The Love Boat (along with the same caliber of writing). But as the tagline notes, "You'll never guess who wins"--and it's true. As in most road-race movies, it's the journey that counts, not the destination. This particular journey includes cool cars (like Adrienne Barbeau's black Lamborghini), crazed bikers (led by Peter "Easy Rider" Fonda), hot martial arts action (from Jackie Chan as a Japanese racecar driver), a conspicuously braless Farrah Fawcett (recipient of a Golden Raspberry nomination for her performance), and possibly the most egregious use of product placement featured in a movie up until that time (one vehicle has "GMC Trucks" noted prominently along the top of the windshield, another has "Hawaiian Tropic" painted on the hood). As with many of the films Jackie Chan has made for Golden Harvest, the Hong Kong-based production company behind The Cannonball Run, wacky outtakes are included during the closing credits. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
I know a couple of guys who wouldn't laugh at this movie. They are both very strange. Everyone else thinks it is a blast.
Add a great cast to fantasy race story, and show it to a revhead, and you've got a movie you just have to watch (unless, of course, you are a sensitive responsible serious person, in which case you may be offended)
What the heck, who cares about responsibility! Watch this movie !!!
Cannonball Run
this is one of my husbands favorite movies, I found it very funny
Yes its Widescreen
It says 16x9 format on the dvd package and it is in its theatrical widescreen format. Widescreen lovers enjoy.
Wow. Just wow. All of these four, five star reviews for this lame piece of trash. Are we talking about the same film here? This is one pathetic excuse of an alleged comedy. The first movie was bad, but at least it had some semblence of a "popcorn film". This is just awful. Sorta like they took the outtakes, threw them up in the air, picked them up when they landed and assembled it together. I mean really, how can anyone actually like this?

The clarity of hindsight has turned Burt Reynolds's heyday in the 1970s into a time capsule of good ol' boy lunacy, and his movies remain as vital to that decade as disco and Watergate. Hooper represents the tail end of Reynolds's popularity, the last gasp before Reynolds moved on to forgettable romantic comedies and the sheer desperation of Smokey and the Bandit II and The Cannonball Run. Like those films it's harmless fun, and Hooper--conceived as a tribute to veteran stuntman Buddy Joe Hooker--benefits from the fact that both Reynolds and director Hal Needham were former stuntmen. The movie features three generations of stuntmen played by Brian Keith, Reynolds, and Jan-Michael Vincent, the last as a cocky young stunt-star who urges Reynolds to perform...

If your a hard core NASCAR lover I would recomend this movie, youll see a bunch of legendary drivers doing camios. Too include the very best Dale Earnheart!!! And there all back when they were just coming into the sport its a blast seeing them all so young!!!
The Chemistry between Burt and wife Loni is great to bad they wound up divorcing!! Youd never guess by this film!
Jim Neibors away from his normal " Gomer Pyle" is great.
I would also recomend if you like Burt and Jim in this that you see them in "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", also with Dolly Parton doing her famouse song,that Whitney Huston stole and ruined, "I will always love you".

It's easy to assume this is just another dumb redneck comedy from Burt Reynolds's years of underachievement. But it's not bad as a dumb redneck comedy at all. Directed by career stuntman Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit is just a goofy chase starring a bunch of Reynolds's Hollywood cronies. New to the job as film boss, Needham brings a silly but energized sensibility to the production and an action man's need to see things moving. But he also has a distinctive feeling for relationships, and he's good with a joke. Put all that together, and Smokey is, at the very least (and unlike its sequels), a simple and original pleasure. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Burt Reynolds - Sally Field Director(s): Hal Needham DVD Release Date: Released the 27 October 1998 This item is currently not available.
