    I was 10 years old when I saw this film. VCR's was so expensive back then. Mom would rent a very every 2 weeks and let me rent 4 movies. This was my favorite choice. Must have watched it 10 times before we had to return it. It was so cool to a 10 yr old. Super cool cars, good looking ladies and so funny. Great movies and still own it on vhs and dvd. Yes, I have a vcr. Maybe old school, but I'm still a classic kinda guy. Have my original atari and Nintendo to.

    And based on a real event, the organiser of which (Brock Yates) features in the movie as....the event organiser. In reality, he actually DID drive a Dodge Van made to look like an ambulance, along with his wife in the back as the patient for when they got pulled over by the cops (which actually happened). They were a DNF though sadly, arriving at the finishing point on a flat bed truck having suffered a transmission failure (also referenced in the movie).

    This movie just gave off the vibe that the actors were not doing it for money, but for fun as well. That makes this movie a classic. Coming up with Roger Moore as a wealthy businessman who thinks he is James Bond, with a different girl next to him in every scene, driving a tricked out Aston is pure genious, as is the fact that they were all making fun of each other with blatant but funny namecalling like "Chocolate Monk" or "Goodyear Blimp" Todays "stars" are always in it for the money, and sexist or rude jokes (even made completely tongue in cheek, without any vile meanings) are a big nono nowadays.

    No way could we ever do this now! HollyWOKE no longer has any of the talent required to make such a movie! It's a fact that HollyWOKE has no talent whatsoever left in any way, shape or form! All we can do is sit back and watch it over and over and over again and wonder just where we went wrong.

    Actually, in a way they have. A movie called "Speed Zone" came out in the early 90's. I read back then that it was a "loose" remake. It was called The Cannonball Run III" in other countries. Only the the actor who plays the Shiek is in the movie, but for a short scene only.

They were on some car cruise and were using their cars as they were meant to be used :). That V12 lambo noise always gives me chills such a iconic engine.
