Summary: This movie is great!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out on VHS and I still love it. In case you're wondering, there really WAS a Cannonball Sea-to-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash that ran from 1971 to the early 1980's, with drivers like Carroll Shelby (of Ford Cobra fame), Dan Gurney, Brock Yates, and the like. Rumor even has it guys like A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, etc. drove the race as well. Just seeing the movie makes me want to hop into a fast car and fly down the interstate at 100-plus MPH. A great movie with a great cast. And the bloopers at the end are just like Needham-he did the same with some of his other movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: alot of FUN!
Review: Cannonball Run is not a well-made movie, but it is a FUNNY and entertaining movie.

I don't think they were trying to make Citizen Kane here. Cannonball Run is a FUN movie. I love it because I feel like I'm in on the fun with the cast as they made it. It's reiminiscent of the Rat Pack movies like Robin and the 7 Hoods, or Ocean's Eleven.

The only downside is that the video has dubbed out the cursing and language; not that cursing makes a movie, but some of the jokes are lost and the dubbing is awkward.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Sea-To-Shing-Sea
Review: The opening sequence... Black Lambo hammering along with 2 honeys drivng, lots of tyre smoke and throttle blipping, say no more. Except that I like Dan Wills Saw this film first when only 10 and loved the howling engines and hilariouse lines. Now 21, my girlfriend thought it would make a good valenties day present, but then I watched it 4 times a row - not too romantic! Amazing cast all living out their stereo types and being hoodlums in the process. Roger Moore and his Aston, Jackie Chan in a Jap computer car. This is beer, girls and FAST CARS GROWLING. A great film that you can just leave on and walk into at any part. My No.1

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good romp
Review: Somewhat amusing. Best thing about the movie were the two women in the Lambourghini with the tight outfits.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cannonball Run
Review: Okay, so I first saw this film at the age of 10, and we all know that a 10 year old is easier to please than an adult. However, I still love this film now (15 years later!), and not just for the fast cars and all-star cast. Of course the plot is almost non-existent but who cares? It's refreshing to see a film which doesn't take itself too seriously (a point that Dr Popinofsky seems to have missed in his review). It's called fun, Doc. F-U-N. If we're not allowed a bit of pointless fun from time to time what's the point of even getting out of bed in the morning?

I accept it's probably not to everybody's taste but it still makes me giggle!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cars and Stars
Review: This surely has to be one of the 80's classics! Not only for the amazing car scenes, and classic actors but the gag value is priceless, "They weren't fathers, they were ..."! JJ McLure aka Burt Reynolds in his prime! I can watch this film over and over, and as for the final out takes, well you have to buy it for those alone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: woo hoo
Review: It was made in the 80's. It's corny but I liked it. The ladies are hot in their tight suits. No nudity.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's ENTERTAINMENT! Don't take it so seriously, people.
Review: Actually, this would get 3 1/2 stars. It's a good movie, but no award winner 5 star movie. If you're a tree-hugger (like the other reviewer) and the premise of this movie bothers you, than why did you use the electricity to watch it, not to mention using the electricity for your computer to rip it apart?
