The Cannonball Run (1981)



A wide variety of eccentric competitors participate in a wild and illegal cross-country road race, and they will do anything to win the road race, including low-down, dirty tricks.

From memory: All-star cast thigh-slapping car chase comedy, mainly for an audience with a low threshold to have a laugh.

Halliwell (no star): "Well-known stars are all at sea in this comedy/disaster extravaganza, which seems to have begun as a joke rather than a script."

Maltin BOMB: "Just what civilization needs - more Reynolds car-chase silliness...Pretty unendurable, despite unusual cast; rumor has it that the one responsible for casting Dino and Sammy as priests is still doing his Hail Marys."
