Cannonball Run II

Rating:
Summary: well....
Review: Ok, I think the first CBR is one of the funniest movies EVER. This sequel is pretty lame though. There are some funny bits but most of the cast is wasted in this. I forgot how bad Dean Martin looked in this one. Ah well, for the price I guess it's good for completists. This version is full screen but you can always get the HK version which is widescreen if that makes a difference. "Ah, General Patton, and... General Admission."

Summary: Amazingly inferior than the original
Review: The first movie is incredibly funny and original. I've watched it over ten times and still love it. This sequel is amazingly inferior and a lot less funny, even though the great cast is virtually unchanged, the director is the same and some of the scenes appear to be re-runs of first movie. Extremelly disappointing. Not to mention the incredibly poor quality of the DVD. Only for die-hard Burt Reynolds and Lamborghini fans (which don't appear that much either)

Summary: Clasic!
Review: The movie that's every bit as good as the first... In fact I'm not sure which is my favorite. But I will say that Captain Chaos is the baddest superhero of them all... Da Da Daaaahhh!! Forget about Batman, Superman, and whoever all else you can think of... Captain Chaos is #1 !!!

Summary: Good but not a cool as the first
Review: The second and final film, this left a taste for more Cannonball Run in my brain. The DVD is excellent, except for a slight hum in the lower frequcncies. It is not constant, but is discernable.

Rating:
Summary: Poor transfer but worth adding to your collection
Review: There are no extras on this DVD. Outtakes for this one have always been in the ending credits though. The transfer to DVD is very poor, but since it available for such a low price you might as well add it to your collection, since I don't think there is enough public demand for a "Cannonball Run II: Special Edition DVD" anytime soon.

Summary: Cannonball II hard to watch.
Review: There may never be a movie produced ever again as loosely or without guilt as this one. Filmed in 1984, this movie was filmed using some of the least-expensive actors avalible. With a budget that probably went mostly to Burt Reynolds, and trying to get by with filming completely in the desert (free). Sometimes actor's cars will change from Corvettes to Plymoths, then back again thinking no one would notice. With a script that Jr. High school children would find simple,this movie drags viewers through it like nails on a chalkboard. If it weren't for just enjoying watching three of the original Rat Pack up walking around talking, this movie would have been a complete wash. Good luck.

Summary: The Cannonball Run 2 (1983)
Review: This film is exactly like its original only this time the mob is after them. And also instead of Michael Hui, Jackie's capilot is Richard Kiel (the giant who played "Jaws" in 2 James Bond Movies: "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker"). But then again it's quality is very poor... if you want to buy it don't waste your money on the expensive DVD edition, buy it on the cheap VHS edition. Jackie Chan still appears in a few cameo appereances but this time a few more.

Summary: This movie has CannonBALLS!
Review: This is a hilarious movie about a cross-country road race. Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise make a perfect pair as an egotistical playboy and an insecure fat man. Together, they pair up with a duo of fake nuns and pursue the million dollar jackpot that awaits them in Connecticut. This is a pretty tame movie, except for the grotesque moment in which hot stud Burt has to make out with grandma psychic, Shirley McClaine! Even worse, Marilu Henner, a hottie since her days on Taxi, wants to jump in the back seat with...DOM DELUISE!!!EEEEWWWWWWWW!If you can move past the horrible romantic pairings, then check out the rest of this movie, which is actually pretty funny. The original Rat Pack shows up (including Frank, sans Jerry and Joey, thank heavens)for a cameo, and the soundtrack boasts a theme from Menudo. That's right - Menudo! If you don't believe me, just buy this movie and see for yourself! Luckily, Ricky Martin did not include the theme on his later albums, but that's for the music department to discuss. One thing that really irked me though - even though it's a cross-country race, the movie which was shot entirely in Tucson, AZ, never seems to LEAVE Tucson! You can tell by looking at the mountins in the background. Or better yet - check out the ending credits, which admits it was shot entirely in Tucson. I guess Dom wanted the cast and crew to stick around for all the great tasting Mexican food we serve here! By the way - I was drunk when I watched this movie.

Summary: Better than the first one
Review: This is funnier than the one before it, but the first one gives you an insight on how the Cannonball run works, because this one is started by the shiek in the first one, my words "Buy the two of them and you will not waist your money"

Summary: Charles Nelson Reilly
Review: This movie is a funny thrilling adventure. As a teenager I find that this movie is superior to the pointless dribble that is produced today. The camio by Charles Nelson Reilly is genius. Any person who at least likes Charles Nelson Reilly needs to own this movie. BUY IT!
