Movie Reviews of The Cannonball Run
Movie Review: pretty fun movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is pretty original in my opinion. From the crazy doctor to the beautiful farrah fawcet, I like pretty much this whole movie. If you go into this wanting to see some great car chases like the original gone in 60 seconds, you are not going to get it. The story is only set around the car race, so all the comedy plays off of the race. Some things are just so absurn and unbelievable in this that you will actually liek the over-the-topness of it. For instance, there is a part where bert and dom are are flying around and need some beer, so they just land the airplane in the street. that was freaking awesome.
So don't expect a great movie, just a fun one.
AND TO CALL OUT TRADE AND 5 WHO IS FOR SOME RASON TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE TO TRY AND FIND THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS, YOU ARE SO FREAKING RETARDED, YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THIS SITE FOREVER. i HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS MOVIE EXCEPT ON TNN, SO WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHAT VERSION YOU HAVE AND WHY IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS.

Movie Review: Burt & Company In Their Element
Summary: 3 Stars
Burt Reynolds made a fortune with these goofy "chase" movies (this and Smoky and The Bandit plus all the sequels). They featured an irreverent, comic '70s attitude toward about anything decent and were successful. They worked because they were fast-moving generally fun movies to watch.....certainly not any great works of art.
Cannonball Run had an all-star cast of Reynolds, his good buddy Dom DeLuise, Farah Fawcettt, Jack Elan, Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Farr, Jackie Chan, on and on....pretty amazing.
Reynolds, of course, was Mr. Cool/Mr. Macho.Fawcett and Barbeau meant beauty and boobs whom all men - especially dimwitted cops which Hollywood loved to feature - drooled over. The Japanese were made to look stupid (this was pre-PC days) as were priests (nothing's changed there with filmmakers). The movie is filled with really profound statements such as, "Why do we take all these risks? Oh, just for the hell of it."
Yes, words to live by.
Yet, as dumb as this movie can be at times, is does provide a lot of good humor and speaking of that, DeLuise's laugh always made everyone do the same. Sometimes the best part of these films were the outtakes at the end with DeLuise cracking up and Reynolds slapping him!
Movie Review: Cannon Ball Run - Review
Summary: 3 Stars
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).Movie Review: Yes its Widescreen
Summary: 3 Stars
It says 16x9 format on the dvd package and it is in its theatrical widescreen format. Widescreen lovers enjoy.Movie Review: Great mindless fun, but five stars? Give me a break.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a funny, sophomoric thrill that still works after all these years. But five stars? I don't think so.
