Movie Reviews of The Gumball Rally
Movie Review: always a joy
Summary: 5 Stars
Who doesn't like a good roadtrip story? Gumball Rally is that, and so much more: a roadtrip on speed, if you'll pardon the awful pun. This movie isn't deep or meaningful or heavy-handed; this movie is pure, unadulterated fun from beginning to end. It's the original definition of "Wacky Hijinks." And I don't even care about cars, but I loved ogling the top-notch machines they put together for this baby (and for anyone who knows the story behind the movie's production, the use of the Jaguar gag is priceless). Raul Julia in particular is brilliant as the Italian race-car driver Franco. Two thumbs up, and five stars. I finally ordered my own copy of the DVD, and I can't wait to get it and watch it all over again!Movie Review: The movie that the "Cannonball Run" should have been...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you read Brock Yates' Cannonball book you'll understand that he wanted the "Cannonball Run" to be more factual and reality based versus the comic slime it denegrated into. The Gumball Rally is what I consider more true to Yates' and others experiences than any of the others on film.
You need to watch "Vanishing Point" , the original "Gone in 60 Seconds", and this movie (in this order for a great positive feeling) to hit the trifecta of really cool '70's car movies.
It is a shame that they couldn't get any of the folks back together (due to some already passing away) to discuss the film for a DVD voiceover.
Movie Review: To not like this movie is to not like cars.
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion the greatest car movie ever put on celluloid and all but [forgotten ] due to the trite Cannonball Run. It almost has a documentary feel to it (and is truer to the actual race as written by Brock Yates in his book Cannonball!). A no name cast except for a hired Italian race car driver named Raul Julia (Addams Family). The best of 70's super cars are the main characters and their job is going as fast as they could in a race across the U.S. No special effects just perfect camera angles and some good microphone placement. Simply a must see for any "car guy or girl".Movie Review: Finally!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. Finally they release this on DVD. I saw this with my brother in a theatre in Reno while my parents were gambling.. lol
This movie came before the horrible Cannonball movies and is far superior. The cast is great and the humor and racing are also great. This movie shouldn't even be compared to Cannonball. They tried to rip off Gumball Rally and ended up with that stupid spoofy type of trash movie. This is not that type of humor.
Besides, I still crack up every time I see the Gary Busey parts.
GUMBALL!
Movie Review: Classic... way before the Cannonball Run movie was out!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first movie I ever saw at a drive-in when I was 6 yrs old. It's still a great car movie!! Classic! What I love seeing now when I watch it is the fact that they are actually beating a real Shelby Ford Cobra and Ferrari Daytona Spyder!! The Cobra's aluminum body is all bashed up at the end of the movie... it's awesome!!
The story is good too... but the racing and engine sounds is what this movie is all about! If you're a car guy or girl- this movie is for you!!
