    Not as good as I remembered it but it?s still a childhood favourite. The cast is fantastic too!

    A screwball car chase. Smokey & the Bandit on steroids.
  • July 16, 2008
    Saw it again for nostalgic reasons. I thought it would be fun but it turned out to be mostly embarrasing. Ruined my childhood memories of a fun film but Dom DeLuise was fun to watch, as always. Go Captain Chaos!

    Fun movie about a cross-country car race.

    Guilty pleasure from my youth.
  • November 13, 2009
    Tons of stars, tons of nothing.
  • November 6, 2009
    Classic comedy with some of the best comedians of their time.
  • October 18, 2009
    An 80's road movie with some amusing moments such as Roger Moore being himself, and a young Jackie Chan driving for the orientals.
  • September 28, 2009
    One of Burt Reynolds BEST movies
  • September 9, 2009
    A classic from the 80's. This is a fun silly film. Has a huge cast. Even Jackie Chan is in this film. Which was odd. But it worked. I think Burt Reynolds charm carries the film. Dom DeLuise was funny in this. The movie is just a fun comedy to watch.
