    I think this is more fun than the original with even more over the top action, fights and lovely cars.

    Normally Hollywood sequels take a financially successful movie and make an inferior sequel. Here they just made a sequel that was EXACTLY the same as the original. Laziness does not begin to describe...

    The first is a legend but you cannot miss this despite the retro feel.

    A classic from the 80's. This sequel is just as good as the original. We get almost the entire original cast back from the first Cannonball Run. Burt Reynolds is again the main star of the film.

Worth a watch if you enjoyed the original Cannonball Run.

    This whole film is so ridiculous, I could hardly enjoy it b/c I couldnt help but wonder how cool a race like this really would be, w/o all the stupid highjinx and foolishness.

    Not as good as the first. But not half bad either.
  • July 16, 2009
    It doesn't have the greatest plot, it sometimes doesn't make any sense, but this was just a fun movie to watch. A "holy crap" cast that still has me going holy crap. And it was at times hilarious.
