- The plot of a cross-country road race was based on an actual event, the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, organized by Brock Yates to protest the 55 mile per hour speed limit then in effect in the United States The Cannonball was named for Erwin G. "Cannonball" Baker, who in the roaring 1920s, rode his motorcycle across the country. Many of the characters are based on ruses developed by real Cannonball racers over the several years that the event was run.
- In this comedy film, Burt Reynolds is an adventurer who decides to participate in an illegal and popular road race all over the country. There's an all-star cast of racers (Jackie Chan, Farrah Fawcett, Peter Fonda, Dean Martin, Sir Roger Moore, Sammy Davis, Jr. and others) that will do anything to outrun all the difficulties (including the police) and win the race. This action-comedy was based on an actual event: the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, a cross-country outlaw road race that has grown to legendary proportions.
- Where do I start? Oh, boy.<br/><br/>This is worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space. At least Ed Wood was quite frank about not having enough money for a decent film, yet he attempted on doing exactly that. He failed miserably.<br/><br/>Cannonball Run is quite frank about having enough money to make a decent film, and not even trying to do so, generating so many laughs in the process, it's kinda excusable.<br/><br/>It lacks everything. Character development. A strong plotline. Well crafted humor. Nice racing sequences. Yet it's a sweet failure, just because it's so bad, yet so true, you can't do anything except watch in amazement and say "I can't believe it".<br/><br/>What am I talking about? Well, remember the ambulance incident? It's true. It actually happened. Yes, it did happen to Brock Yates, his wife and director Hal Needham. They entered the race in the ambulance, they were stopped in New Jersey, and the dialogue is shown in the film (with a bit of artistic license, of course).<br/><br/>Remember the guy who rammed the entrance of the hotel? Well, the character is based on a real guy who did ram walls in order to get to the highways faster than the rest. And he did ask at the hotel he stayed, "Where are the w____s at?"<br/><br/>Watch it while knowing many things are based on fact, and you will see the movie is so bad, you can't help but wonder how on earth this race could have been run for 5 years.<br/><br/>It's good.
- A mere good natured romp? Not hardly my friend. Mr. Needham portrays the very essense of a restless post-Watergate, Vietnam, Anita Bryant, et al. America. The Land of Freedom sorely needed a laugh cavalcade-a bromo if you will to sooth our collective, disillusioned, gaseous belly. Plop plop fizz fizz... YES! our thirst was quenched, our churning acid soothed. Dean Martin! Sammy! Farrah! Terry Bradshaw WITH Mel Tillis!! Jamie Farr! Joe Klecko! Ray Milland! A young and strapping Jackie Chan! Adrianne Barbeau! Roger Moore and so many others!! Not to mention of course the legendary comedy duo of Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise (sp)!! Mr. Needham on behalf of a Grateful Nation we thank thee. How can one man give so much and yet ask for so little in return. A Kennedy Center Honor should lay in your future my friend! Sure we would have liked to have seen Lee Marvin, Connie Francis, Jerry Reed, Mean Joe Greene, and Jimmy Caan in "Cannonball" - maybe even that chimp from "Every Which Way But Loose". Alas these are the stuff of lovely, lovely dreams. Like the song says... "It's not what you do it's how you do it. You be you and I'll be me..." "Just For the Hell of it" Indeed. A big 10 out of 10 stars for this "Good Natured Romp" P.S. Bert Convey, Godspeed my man. You were an original. You will be missed!
- Content to pick up where the skid marks from "Smokey and the Bandit II" left off, The Cannonball Run quickly establishes itself as an aggressive shambles, the latest exercise in amateurism from facetious professionals. [20 June 1981, p.B1]
- Yes, the script writer, Brock Yates, was inspired to write the screenplay by a real race that took place four times in the 1970s called Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. <br/><br/>Yates himself has a bit part in the movie as the "Organizer", the man who speaks to the racers right before they leave. a5c7b9f00b
