The Cannonball Run (1980)
Director: Hal Needham
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stars' home movie, with Burt Reynolds and the gang having a terrific time with the camera and each other. Looks like something knocked off on rest days from Smokey and the Bandit II. The last five minutes, when they show out-takes of flubbed lines, etc, are hysterical. The rest is strictly for those willing to pay for a series of TV chat show performances.Author: MB
