It didn’t seem like they were in it much

Earlier in their careers Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood both were under contracts at Universal Studios. As Burt tells the story, they both were fired on the same day. He stated, they met at a bar near the studio to commiserate losing their jobs. Clint asked Burt what reason the studio boss gave him and Burt replied, "He said I couldn't act. And you?" Clint replied, "He told me my Adam's Apple was too BIG." Burt started to chuckle and said, "That's too bad, buddy." Clint became a bit angry and said, "Hey, why are you laughing? You're just as out of a job as me." Burt replied, "Yeah, but I can always learn to act and you'll have that Adam's Apple for the rest of your life."

@@beatmet2355 City Heat (1984) was the movie they did together. But they were fired in 1958 from UA. At the time both were under "contracts" with the studio. Back then, under their contract, actors would agree to make x-number of movies for x-number of dollars. They were not paid points or residuals. Residuals (royalties) began being paid on movies after 1960 and salaries based upon points is a bit newer of a concept. There is a famous story about the cast of Gilligan's Island who were paid their weekly salary of < $1000 and NOTHING more despite the show being syndicated for over 50 years. That story has been disputed by claims that their contracts actually provided residual payments for the first 4 or 5 times the episode was re-run which was the standard in 1964. But still the actors missed out on a ton of residual payments compared to what actors receive today. But back in 1958 actors were likely paid a flat amount for a film and nothing more.

During the pandemic lockdown, when there was no traffic, a new Cannonball record was set, 26 hour, 38 minutes.

Fun fact: Brock Yates actually drove the TransCon Medevac ambulance in the real Cannonball, and the part where the doctor explained the cysts on the lungs to the police really happened. Brock's wife was their "patient". The ambulance broke down and I don't think it finished.

The crazy doctor is played by Jack Elam, whose left eye was blinded in a childhood accident. He mostly played creepy villains, playing off the eerie permanent stare of the dead eye, but occasionally also did roles like this that played it for laughs. And that also means there's two one-eyed actors in the film, with Sammy Davis Jr.

Odd shift, to be sure. (Obviously, now that TWD is over, none of them any longer)

This is one of those movies I loved as a kid shortly after it came out, then as an adult realize how dumb it really is….yet watch it completely when it’s on and still love it.

The Cannonball Run is actually the third movie based on the real life illegal cross-country race known as the "Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash," which was held five times in the 1970s in protest against the newly-established 55 MPH speed limit. The previous two films based on the illegal race were The Gumball Rally with Michael Sarrazin and Raul Julia, and Cannonball with David Carradine, both of which came out in 1976, five years before The Cannonball Run was released.

To put this film in historical context: it came out during the summer of 1981; a summer that was dominated by comedies (Stripes), action movies (For Your Eyes Only), superhero movies (Superman II), and an adventure with an archaeologist named Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark). The fact that it was well received, and fared great against those films, shows the legacy of this film, and how timeless it is.

I have a story about this movie. I spent half my youth in Massachusetts. We moved to Ohio in 1985, but my folks rented the Mass. house out. The man who rented it was a business man whose ventures included mechanical services for exotic cars and car-themed clubs. For some reason, he not only had possession of the Cannonball Run Lambo, but he drove it. He kept it in our garage for a year!!! My neighborhood friends, who were about 15 at the time, witnessed it through the garage door windows.

Director Hal Needham appears uncredited as the ambulance EMT. He's the guy who says, "You can smoke thru traffic like shot thru a gun in this thing."

I see "The Gumball Rally" and "Cannonball" are already being recommended, so I'll go back a little bit further: the 1965 comedy "The Great Race", based on the real-life 1908 New York To Paris Race, where the racers had to travel from New York, New York to Paris, France... traveling _west._ It's best known for two things: being the primary inspiration for the cartoon "Wacky Races", and for a certain scene that's been called "the greatest pie fight ever."

It is a great pie fight.

I love when Dom says "Mr Martin laughed first"

Critics weren't very kind to Burt Reynolds when he was making his big money movies in the late 70s and early 80s. One of the biggest regrets of Burt's life was that he never won an Oscar, though he was nominated once for his role in _Boogie Nights._ P.S.: A team from _Car and Driver_ (or some such magazine) did one last unofficial Cannonball Run a couple of years ago during the height of the 'rona. They did it because so few cars were on the road, they could blow though major cities. Places like NYC and LA, where you'd normally be stuck in traffic for hours, could be left in the dust in like 30 minutes. They said they set a record of somewhere around 25 hours, coast to coast. That record can't be broken, because the roads will never be that clear again.

One of my all time favs again. Directed by a fellow memphian, the late great Hal Needham.

I remember going to this movie as a kid, and even though I at the time I was unfamiliar with much of the cast, I loved it so much. After multiple rewatches as I got older (and knowing more and more of these actors), it was even better. I also grew up as a huge Joe Theisman fan, so the sequel was a must-watch as well (the pairing of Jackie Chan and Jaws from the James Bond movies was pretty awesome too).

Fun fact: The gorgeous waitress that The Sheik (Jamie Farr) wants to add to his harem appeared in Playboy (I managed to find a copy of it on eBay).

My favorite part of this movie, because I used to say it all the time as a teenager, was the bit with Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin... Because you're small, small, S-M-ALL!"

Of all the times I have seen this movie I just realized that the main villain in the movie was named "Arthur J. Foyt". One of the most famous drivers at the Indy 500 Races about the time this movie was made is named A.J. Foyt. Clearly, this was meant to be an Easter Egg that I totally missed.

She needs to see "Smokey and the Bandit II" for some more Burt and Dom , as well as some of the best Buford T. lines ever!

Funny: I got to talk with Dom and Peter DeLuise at L.A. Airport for a few minutes, one night: I worked there, and they were looking for the British Caledonian Airways ticket counter. Several years later, I got to say hello to Burt Reynolds, at a newsstand in Van Nuys! Btw, Burt and Dom were best friends, along with Jerry Reed. When this came out, Jackie Chan was unknown to 90% of Americans: us kids that watched the B-martial arts flicks on weekends knew who he was, though, and we went crazy when we saw his name in the credits. Oh, the guy with the nasty stutter, is country legend Mel Tillis, and that really was his stutter! Another "oh", the hotel at the end of the film, The Portofino Inn, is still there. Last "oh": I think the opening scenes were filmed on US95 between Henderson, NV., and Boulder City...the hotel they pass near a curve in the road looks kind of like the Railroad Pass Hotel/Casino.

I’ve been waiting so long for ANYONE to react to this classic!!!!LOVE IT!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

We really will never see the like again.

Mel Tillis who played the stutterer is a cournty western artist actually has a stutter and became a singer to help with his problem.

Man I had to drop a comment because I'm thrilled someone is finally doing this movie. It was a favorite of mine and my brothers growing up.

Unfortunately, Burt Reynolds is not in that one and the movie is kind of forgotten about. I think that movie is mainly found on VHS and maybe some DVD bootleg copies of the VHS. VHS rips of Speed Zone can also be viewed on KZread. The first 2 were the best and were childhood favorites of mine.

The Cannonball Run was named after Erwin George "Cannonball" Baker who was famous back in the day for his point-to-point races

Love this movie. I watched it all the time as a kid. One nit-pick I have is the inconsistency with the rules of the race. At the beginning, it cleary states that the winner is determined by whoever has the shortest time between their start and finish times. But at the end, the winner is just whoever crosses the finish line first. Small gripe, but has always bothered me.

Cannonball Run 1 is probably the best ensemble comedy of all time imho. At the very least, its my favorite and i cant stop rewatching it.

This is off topic, but I would love to see you guys watch some Blake Edwards/Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies.

I'm not expecting many highly intelligent and philosophical comments about this film, it's just pure fun.

When I was in 3rd grade my school had a movie night and this what they showed. I loved it then and I love it still.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I've watched it countless times, and each time it's as enjoyable as the first.

A Cannonball Run is an unsanctioned speed record for driving across the United States, typically accepted to run from New York City's Red Ball Garage to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach near Los Angeles, covering a distance of about 2,906 miles (4,677 km). The record was broken multiple times during the COVID-19 pandemic, taking advantage of a reduction in both road users and law enforcement presence. In August 2020 a new record was announced: 25 hours 39 minutes, with an average speed of 110 miles per hour (180 km/h), driven by Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt along with spotter Dunadel Daryoush.

You need to throw a little outward wheezing into the Burt laughter, put some chest in there ;)

This is the first movie I ever remember seeing that had outtakes playing over the credits. I'm not sure if it was the first, but it certainly popularised it.

Well, when Jackie Chan does bloopers, it usually involves him nearly dying, except for that, it's exactly the same.

Fun fact about 18:01 if it hasn't been mentioned/ That female officer was portrayed by Valerie Perrine who also played Miss Eve Teschmacher Lex Luthor's accomplice in Superman 1 & 2. Also, the ambulance tech was played by Hal Needham the director and creator of the movie. Also, the 'I can;t see shit can you' scene is something I have quoted for YEARS ad still do today.

The scene with the New Jersey state troopers when they asked why she had to be driven actually happened. There was an interview with them once the movie came out and they told their side of it.

Rip to all those who were in this movie & no longer with us
