We need to go back to making a few goofy movies with ensembled casts from various generations and professions (acting, music, sports, etc.). Cannonball Run seems like the type of movie they should remake every 5-10 years in that spirit. Similar to how the style of "James Bond" movies change over time, it would be fun to see different generations' take on the same corny "illegal car race" premise.
I had no idea Jackie Chan was in Cannonball Run!! Watched it when I was a kid in the 80's and now I'm going to have to back and look for him. My favorite line was "two milks", my 10 year-old brain thought that was the best humor ever!
Jackie didn't have the best time on that one, which is why he didn't work with Hollywood again until Rumble in the Bronx. He does say that this movie gave him the idea to put his bloopers in during the credits.
...until you sit inside one. Only people under 6'2" can sit in it without hitting their head on the roof, there is no seat adjustment, only feet under a size 10 can operate the pedals without hitting two at once, you can't see out of the back window, the door windows only open enough to flick ash from a cigarette, all the interior is made of vinyl-covered right-angled boxes, and the throttle and clutch both take a huge effort to depress. But yes, it LOOKS and SOUNDS amazing.
I got to ride in this car. It was bought many years later from the studio and a friend of mine restored it. It had been painted several times, different colors for other movies. VERY loud and soooo cool. The owner passed away, so I don’t know where the car ended up.
It’s not complicated, there are men that are women, men that identify as women, men that are pre op or post op, gays are now LGTBQ rainbow warriors. See subsection 73a for women
I was probably 7 when this came out and all I knew, was that I wanted the Lamborghini book that year for Christmas and I got it. Loved the brand ever since even if that front wing was questionable ...
Seen this movie dozens of time but just realized that most of that opening was on interstate 8 heading into the Laguna mountains! Driven that stretch a hundred times at least!
This came on tv at 8pm in the UK when I was about 9 yrs old (1987) Begged to stay up to.watch the film but got sent to bed half way through. Had the VHS at school about 3 years later, must have watched the it 10 times. Greatest bad movie ever!!
Love the opening to this movie. That police Firebird card was pretty damn awesome as well for a pursuit car. Love the helicopter pan out scene. I am pretty sure these were stunt drivers driving the car not the 2 supermodel chicks. The Countach is one of the coolest cars ever made although probably a nightmare to own and maintain. The 2nd film had all the basic capri police cars no way in hell would they be able to catchup to that Countach.
I soured on the Lamborghini Countach when I found out about how much of a pain they are. But, damn... This scene reminds me why I wanted one so badly when I was a kid.
Back in the 80s I was still a kid. But I remember my mom taking me to an exotic car dealership that was in the city. I was able to see and sit in all the most famous popular cars of the day. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche... The dealership disappeared in the 90s...replaced by a FedEx Kinko's😅. But I still have memories of it 41 years later...
Still brings me back to teen-years. Sad that we can’t make a movie today simply for entertainment like this one; instead today it’s all guaranteed profit or regurgitate the same-old ”. 🇨🇦
Filmed in Boulder City, Nevada Sadly none of those roads exist anymore, since the state added interstate 11, in 2017. I used to drive on those roads for years.
Cool af. Proud to have watched this when it was fresh - and that Lambo still holds its own against anything made today. Don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
@@Willy-hs7uu I don’t necessarily disagree but I’m not a fan of Ben Stiller. His sort of humor like Sacha Baron Cohan of Borat fame are too off kilter for me.
They should show this film in film school about how to make an exciting fun movie forget all the diversity equal rights bullshit rainbows and unicorns and focus the movie on having a good time with interesting characters. The cars are the star of the film we want to see A list actors just going for broke not that hard. But there always has to be some message or agenda instead of just a basic plot with some laughs.
I myself find that spoiler sexy as hell, but to each their own. Before you bash it, you should watch the documentary on the car. Its free and on youtube.
To be fair, we also dreamt of owning Magnum's Ferrari 308 GTS, Michael Knight's '82 Firebird w/AI KITT and The A-Team's Van....("I like the paint job!").
You will never see another star studded movie like this. Too many egos in today’s time. Unbelievable cast.
Hearing that V12 open up.... ...what a glorious noise!
A-fucking-men
Yeah...that v12. Love it.
The best scene
155
Oh, hearing that in the theater????? Goose bumps!!!😂
The Lamborghini Countach still has an incredibly futuristic look today, even though 50 years have passed.
Timeless design. This is, to this day, still my favorite exotic car.
I have the LEGO Speed Champions Countach on my desk :D
Countach ans F40 legend cars
Same with the 917 can am racer
i just bought a 1978 nikko rc lamborghini countach as a shelf queen.
can't find a decent rc countach nowadays.
I was just starting high school when this movie came out. Great time to be alive. I miss the 80's so much.
The 80s were the best.
まじで８０年代
最高だった！
The best!
Really the best. Now I’m 60 and old. 😢
That last blip and downshift is glorious. This movie as a child helped shape my love of cars, comedy, and women.
Shaped my love for speed-limit sign graffiti.
Me too. I still can't get Adrienne Barbeau's big tiddies out of my mind.
Watched this as a kid in the theater. Blown away! RIP Dom DeLuise
Dom, Burt, Dean, Sammy, Roger, Farrah, Jack, Mel, Bert & Hal ... all gone but never forgotten.
Those were great magical time we all lived through.
What an amazing cast! So many great actors, most are gone now :(
I remember when I was a kid, every time this came on HBO or the Movie Channel, I was glued to the TV for 2 hours. Still one of my favorites!

It would be a lot more WOKE and DIVERSE, then.
@@TucsonDude nothing wrong with showing happiness instead of hate.
@@TucsonDudeso basically it’d be The Fast and Furious franchise. Nothing wrong with that.
@@methos1999 As long as you like the path down to mediocrity.
This is still one of the BEST all-time movies...to be young again!

@@Leightrwe can at least be thankful for that aspect I guess.
The Countach is the coolest car ever made. Period.

Exactly you try and reverse one
@@KevPage-Witkicker oh, i sat in one in my young years when i was 5'11 and slim and i barely fitted. But who cares. Its a Countach.
I'll take the Pantera every time!
I like The Countach, but I love The Diablo.
Just the sound alone of that Lambo working is awesome!
As much as I am a car guy, I've never seen this movie! That opening was sick...I'll be watching it before the week's out!
It is a great opening as well the movie gets a little goofy at times but love the opening
The whole cast looked like they were having such a good time making that movie.
Yes, and it began with harvesting the humble cocoa leaf!
As a kid I loved this movie! So cool to see now the opening scene is right where I live now, they go right pass Railroad station in Boulder NV!
The opening to this movie was epic!

It was bought and restored a couple years ago. Theres a video on youtube.
That funky bass line "cannon ball." Adrienne Barbeau, say no more
I was 18 when it came out, and its still one of my most favorite movies, an Iconic classic.
Ooooh the Countach really is the Godfather of Supercars.. Simply beautiful😍👊
This scene sold more posters in 80’s than anything; except maybe Cindy Crawford
Loved this scene and was obsessed by cars but…. Cindy Crawford still wins.
If someone had been smart enough to make a poster of Cindy Crawford on a Countach... 🎤💧
No Suzanna hoffs set Cindy in the dark for me
Don't forget Farrah Fawcett poster.
@@hisaddle That was the 70s. 1976 to be precise.
One of my favorite movies as a kid.
That exhaust note...... that car was on every boy's bedroom wall in America.
How about that front spoiler?
So weird!🤣
@@ikvangalen6101 I read that they only put it on for this movie because it wasn't an option for the car. I dunno for sure.
Farah Fawcett was on the same walls!
@mitchmasterfix5292 I think I had her on mine.
@@ikvangalen6101 I hate that spoiler and the fog lights.
80s were the best times, life can be to complicated nowadays.
It’s not complicated, there are men that are women, men that identify as women, men that are pre op or post op, gays are now LGTBQ rainbow warriors. See subsection 73a for women
it's because this new generation is offended by everything nowadays..
1982 - outran Stateys on I5 in my '70 Mustang. 130 mph on my way to medford.
That and if they made this movie today it would involve helicopters, drones and a tyre strip...
Yeah I could probably send a fax to complain about your complaint previously
Oh the memories, I have to watch this movie again! Damn the Lambo sounds great
This is what made me fall in love with the Lamborghini Countach!
And the film, Burt Reynolds and the rest of the cast where just brilliant too 👌👏👏👏

Greatest bad movie ever!!
That's it. Gonna buy it on TH-cam. I'll probably be the only one with it. I bought " Where Eagles Dare" the other day. No-one else has it.
I bought it on Apple TV a few months ago 👍🏻
I’m gutted that Cannonball Run 2 isn’t available on there!
@@Mister_H. It's NOT! What the heck are they thinking??
Watched this in the theater when I was a kid. First time I think I ever saw a blooper real.
Its an awsome!! Saw it on the big screen when it first came.out!!!

Oh look ! An awesome movie from when movies where awesome
I still remember that car chase around the 20th Century sign at the first of the movie, i was like maybe 5.
One of my favourite films of its time…. Along with Convoy, Smokey & the Bandit etc…. And the zip drop…. 😮
Utterly nostalgic. Watching this as very young child.
I never get tired of it.
I soured on the Lamborghini Countach when I found out about how much of a pain they are. But, damn... This scene reminds me why I wanted one so badly when I was a kid.
Yeah when you put in real life it kind of ruins it but on film this looks like a dream.
The Countach is a work of art, visually and audibly. But in real life, I think I'd prefer that Trans Am police car.
That's like saying you soured on dating an attractive woman because you realized they require more maintenance. Of course they do lol
Countach and lotus esprit still my favourite cars that i would buy if i had the money. Put them in the front room to look at. Then drive.
the best film intro ever!
The intro from Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is up there.

Oh my god what an opening scene to a movie. Every kid's dream the car and the girls
I love this movie and I love the song
"It didn't take us that long to catch Dillinger." 😆
This movie captured everything that was great about the era. Fast cars and loose women.
You can’t stream this movie anywhere. Such a shame. Loved this as a kid!
Yar, it be available if ya know where to look, matey!
Thank God I was a kid whe i first seen these. Epic
Still brings me back to teen-years. Sad that we can’t make a movie today simply for entertainment like this one; instead today it’s all guaranteed profit or regurgitate the same-old ”. 🇨🇦
Best ever lambo by a mile
3:24 - "David Shamroy Hamburger" has to be one of the greatest names in Hollywood history...
I cant believe they put a 80-81 Turbo Trans Am in cop colors. Then again, it was the ultimate joke of the entire Firebird line.
Some Georgia state troopers had trans ams in the late 70’s and 80’s
@@craigschwartz19yeah I remember them from the '80s. They were really fast faster than my mustang unfortunately.
Imagine if they had the Super Duty 455 in it. With the right gearing it would run down that Lambo.
The state police by me had one when I was growing up. I remember the huge jacked up trooper that got to drive it, he knew he looked awesome!
@@mcqueenfanman I think some highway patrols did have a few high power interceptors.
Still have the VHS copy, where she says, "Chow baby" right before the end there. And no, it was not in the "Mandela Effect" either.
Тачила на века!!!! Браво создателям такого авто.
The music, the engine sound, the voice ….. brilliant…….nearly forgot……..the catsuit ladies 😅
Don't' forget, "and two Milk" - The Sheik
Where's the full movie for streaming purchase and download online?
Why isn’t this movie available anywhere to buy or stream?
Filmed in Boulder City, Nevada
Sadly none of those roads exist anymore, since the state added interstate 11, in 2017.
I used to drive on those roads for years.
If you enjoyed Cannonball, I suggest you check out the movie that inspired it: Gumball Rally (1976).
2:34 If you wach this part when your 4 years old ...what would go through your head? LAMBO LOVER FOR LIFE! lol
When these are inevitably remade, the celebrity choices are the most crucial, but it also CANNOT be polished. It needs to be JUST like this
That cast! ❤
Cool af. Proud to have watched this when it was fresh - and that Lambo still holds its own against anything made today. Don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
Best opening scene ever
Can’t seem to watch this movie anywhere
Cannonball run 2 is on Tubi. "Cannonball" is there also which should legally be required to change its name
Even though cannonball! came out 5 years prior to cannonball run?😅@@StephenHenderson-lw4hc
I'm a bigger fan of you Thank you. My favorite. Movie 🎥🎥
This was a silly, but FUN movie. I think I had just turned 12. Loved it then and now.
I wish movies this good were still made.
It was a stupid, goofy movie. God it was fun!
@@mikek0135 Just like us Americans, not quite right in the noggin’ but damn, we’re a lot of fun!!!

That Lamborghini Countach is fucking gorgeous 😍
I'm hoping to use this song in a video of mine. Did it get copyright claimed? Many thanks.
Railroad Pass Casino.... Boulder City / Henderson NV?
This is the movie that started my love of all gas guzzling hauling ass cars.
der geilste Filmanfang ever......
Tara Buckman exiting that Lambo to spray paint the speed limit signboard was glorious. I've just master baited to her.
Cannonball Run is a B movie with A-list actors. But I do love this opening scene.
Let’s face it, The Cannonball Run was a reprobate of a movie, but man was it fun!! ❤❤❤
Qué película es??
I still have my Dad's 5000 se! It's locked up started once week!
Love the Trans-Am 😍 Great Movie 😎
Epic and dreaming open scene!
When Hollywood didn't take itself so serious. Great, fun movie!!!
Best movie ever made!
You can keep McLaren, Bugatti, battista, etc. I just want a countach! But I'd settle for a testarossa, if Christina Brinkley were driving it..
Brinkley drove a 308, like Magnum PI
Thanks. Christina Brinkley will always be that definition of the perfect "80s girl" to me
Is she related to Christie Brinkley? 😉
I heard the Lambo is the shitz to drive, tho.
Classic movie
If I remember correctly. I thought she spray painted a 1 in front of the 55. Not “X”
me too. maybe a different movie
That was in the 2nd one. She puts a sign over the 55.
Ahh the 80's, PLs make a CannonBall Run 2 intro in HD!
En esta Pelicula se inspiraron para hacer la Zaga de FAST AND FURIOUS!
Salen los Padres de Toretooooo!
FUNNY ASS MOVIE, times were fun back then !!!
When life just wasn’t good it was phucking great😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
That Waca-waca guitar riff is so good.
Trans Am cop car is the most 80s thing ever...in a Burt Reynolds'' film anyway.
Love it..
Love this movie
What are list of of actors and actresses...I think that jackie chan is the only one still kicking....literally..❤
I had one of those as my first car.
Unfortunately I’m talking about the Honda Civic at 3:56.
They really screwed the Countach - a front spoiler?! Seriously? Oh, and totally forgot about this movie, but a great watch.
I myself find that spoiler sexy as hell, but to each their own. Before you bash it, you should watch the documentary on the car. Its free and on youtube.
Factory option.
Now remaster the whole movie!!
It is. Can buy it for like $15. a.co/d/fjGnRdx
