I'm 41 years old and I must have rented this VHS tape at least three dozen times during the course of my teenage years I basically have the script memorized. This is one of the most memorable openings to any movie that I can think of in my head right now. The sound of that V12 just resonates in my mind. It's crazy to think though that the guys that sprayed the car off with the big water hose I probably in there seventies now and probably still remember filming that scene. They don't make movies like this anymore and it's so sad that the vast majority of the cast is no longer with us. Rest in peace to those that we've lost from this movie.
Agree to disagree - the opening to Canonball 1 had a much better car sound. Very growly. TH-cam it. Also, no corny talk from the cops about hot chicks.
@@robbtarte2389 don't need to TH-cam it. I've seen part 1 just as many times as I've seen part 2 and though you may be right about the growl, to me the cops talking and the girls laughing made that scene even better. It also set the mood for the movie by telling you it was gonna be a comedy. Without it, you have a countach running from cops, they could've been showing a cocaine kingpin running from cops but adding the playful joking let you know from the get go that it was going to be a funny ass movie and that you were in for a ride...oh and speaking of other parts to the Cannonball series anyone reading this can skip the unofficial part 3 called Speed Zone with John Candy and Eugene Levy. No disrespect to either of those comedy legends but that movie was a half ass attempt to revive a movie series and they blew it. Seriously the opening sequence when they skipped a Countach across a lake like they were skipping a stone? Not at all funny and just sad.
My only complaint: why didn't SHE drive the Countach? I grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard and the Kartrashians and Miley Cyrus can't compare to her in any way.
I’m still pissed. I went to a car show and she was there and I didn’t get a picture or anything with her. I thought she was just in dukes of hazard not cannonball run too!!! Missed opportunity right there. I could’ve got a 55mph sign autographed.
@@samfraulino are you joking? Political correctness and diversity would ruin it. Hollywood currently destroys every old franchise it touches, so no thanks. The kids today have no idea how bad the current time is. So sad...
The Cannonball Run movies were a staple of my childhood. 30 years I've been watching them movies and, god willing, I'll be watching them for at least 30 more.
One of the most iconic automobiles ever made. Truly the stuff that dreams are made of. This was when Lamborghini was still their own company and before they were purchased by Audi. You will never see another design quite like that one. It's my opinion that the new Lamborghinis are just not quite the same. Uncomfortable yes, impractical yes, but truly the stuff that dreams are made of.
@@ColinRichardson The two mythics cars of the time : The Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa are very poors cars in fact for confort and mechanic in fact. But their look still nowadays kicking ass. ^^
Pretty sure they’ve got a brick under the front wheel when the girls are out of the car - brakes probably failed! I wonder how many Lambo’s they needed to have as backups.
I remember seeing this movie back in the day, and I thought the part where the Lambo changes from white to red was the coolest thing ever. Plus, having a hot chick like Catherine Bach in the car certainly didn't hurt!
Owned this VHS as a child and I can not recall how many times I have rewound and played this intro while my mom kept yelling at me to turn down the TV.

The Cannonball Run 1 & 2 where part of my childhood and I watched them on the day I found out that the Bandit and J.J passed away and this song I listened to this song in high school
Truly the most beautiful car ever conceived by man ...and the automotive love of my life ,from all I've read and seen its a problem child to own, but like any problem child ,you spend most of your time annoyed at it ,but if anyone tried to take it away you'd kill them
¡Inolvidable introducción de esta legendaria película! Posiblemente, uno de los autos exóticos con el diseño más impactante y recordado de todos los tiempos! El Countach adornó, con su imponente figura, muchas de las portadas de revistas y, con pósters, habitaciones de la época. En verdad que era el auto de ensueño por excelencia; y lo seguirá siendo, para muchos, gracias a su diseño atemporal. ¡Saludos cordiales!
When I was a kid I just drank in every frame of this. And yet now as an adult I can't help but notice that the interior of the Countach changes from red to tan when the white paint gets hosed off.
It doesn’t. So many people thought this. The red you see is the door shut, Look closer and you can see the tan door card. They used one car and it belonged to John Schneider at the time.
This scene all by itself shows you the difference between the the first and second films. Both open essentially the same. Same concept. But the first one was just so much cooler, because there was no talking at all until the very end of the scene. It was just a simple, fun scene of cat and mouse, because they kept doing simple things to hide themselves, so they could keep passing the cop over and over. No silly props. Like who puts an extra washable paint job on their car just in case? No goofy radio chatter. And it was a Firebird the Lambo was owning too in the first one. So it suggests the cops are used to being able to run down anyone, until the Lambo came along.
I used to have a corvette that used to change colour when you put cold water on it only snag was it used to rust the axles you would have thought hotwheels would have thought of that
Possibly the greatest film intro ever in my opinion.1 of my fav ever films, that lambo sound is gorgeous, Catherine Bach in it as well. This film is where I also got my love of redheads, courtesy of Marilu henner😱😍😘🥰😍
What i have learned john Schneider had a payment due on his red Lamborghini and cathy mentioned she was going to be in a little movie called cannonball run 2 so because john and tom had basically walked away from DOH so he loaned the red Lamborghini to the hal Needham
This Countach was owned by none other than John Schneider. He ordered it in 1982 before the Coy and Vance debacle. Catherine Bach brokered a deal with Hal Needham to hade him rent the car for the film to help John make the payments.
+ricecarkiller How can you call yourself a car guy with a name like that? You discount an entire subcontinent's offerings without having driven each one? That's ridiculous. You don't like Rally Cars? What about JGTC - none of those cars are awesome in your opinion? Cmon man - even tho they can't turn to save their life I still enjoy a sloppy old muscle car for what it's worth.

How is it that they have never made a remake of this - Ben Stiller (Sheikh) Vince Vaughan (JJ) Josh Gad (Captain Chaos) Will Farrell (Jamie Blake) Kevin Hart (Morris Fender)
I got a hug from Catherine Bach at Chrysler's at Carlisle a few years ago. Daisy Duke was every dude's fantasy girlfriend in my age group. That puts me over about 200,000,000 guys in America :) Ha ha! Speed Limit = 155! These movies are fun :)
Cannonball run one and two I love them both and here’s a question for all the film directors can we have a remake????? With 2024 cars! Female actresses driving a Bugatti Churron?
I wish they would have had Jerry Reed in the Cannonball Run movies, he could have been reunited with Burt Reynolds in the 2 movies, that would have been cool, I think
And I live across the freeway from the carwash. They were just starting to build Boomtown, now known as Silverton. And he's not eastbound he's southbound.
That movie had a lot of great stars in it along with some great cars, could we do another movie similar to this one today? Catherine Bach looks great in this movie.
I remember Need for Speed did a comnination of spray paint and adding a "1" to the sign back in the day. They were driving a Murcielago. I didn't catch the homage back then though

It's a goddamn work of art. I know what you're thinking - do I mean the movie or that V12? Answer: yes.

better than SJW woke films of 2000-2019
Impossible to not be in a happy mood after watching this intro :)
The Cannonball Run Series has one of the best casts I’ve ever seen
Damn a red Countach with rear wing is one of the coolest and probably most recognizable cars in history
TheBlaggert - 2nd only to the black one in the first film with the front wing.
Eh, when I was a kid in the 80's the red countach poster was one of the most popular posters around, I know I had one.
your correct my friend,the original Lambo is indeed the black one,a TRUE MOVIE ICON.
I was a kid in the 90s and had the poster too. And a black one as rc car.
Its the air vents I think is so distinguished about the lambo 😉
One of the most iconic automobiles ever made. Truly the stuff that dreams are made of. This was when Lamborghini was still their own company and before they were purchased by Audi. You will never see another design quite like that one. It's my opinion that the new Lamborghinis are just not quite the same.

@@ColinRichardson The two mythics cars of the time : The Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa are very poors cars in fact for confort and mechanic in fact. But their look still nowadays kicking ass. ^^
Before Audi, they were purchased by Chrysler (1987).
The unrealistic part of this sequence is that it didn’t include a scene of spending fifteen minutes at a gas station and getting caught because of it.
Pretty sure they’ve got a brick under the front wheel when the girls are out of the car - brakes probably failed! I wonder how many Lambo’s they needed to have as backups.
'lets nail them' took the words right out of my mouth

The question is, how they did that change?
RJC 72 Yeah, that scene is unforgettable
This is the only reason as to why i even remember this movie.
I'm dying to know that too!
Didn't Hotwheels (1:64) came up with that feature as well in the 80's. No Countaches alas.
No one has ever come up with a better design than the Countach.

Perhaps THE best advertisement placement ever.

And because the chicks are LGBTQxyzabc whatever you’d then be arrested under the pretenses of a hate crime or some other liberal disease.

Best part of whole movie. A mockery of the first.
