Ah, the CANNONBALLS' final run. 1981. With the LAMBORGHINI. Sure was fun when people had: Identity, character & humor. Love it when Adrienne can't con the lady highway patrol officer towards the end.
@Uncle Creepy When this Lamborghini was first shipped to the US, it wasn't legal, due to the front being so low, so they added the front wing which became the bumber, and it is mounted to the chassis with shock absorbers, and the height made it street legal, and that was how they were able to put it in the movie. This Lambo also has four CB radio antennas on the back, which made it look even better.
@@michaelshields7777 In the mid 80's I worked in what was called the gray market. We would bring in Lambos like this and make them legal to drive on the US highways. And we Never Ever put on imo that stupid butt ugly "wing " on the front. And we did a bunch of them.

oh man... all star cast. I remember getting so excited to see a new Canonball Run movie out. This movie was legendary for the time. The Countach is still a work of art.
This movie introduced me to the Countach when I was 5 years old (about 1982). - A love at first sight moment that locked me in to being a big Lambo fan right up to present day.
@@markusantonio4866 I would not be surprised if the CHP used Firebirds for high speed pursuits just as they used the foxbody Mustang notchbacks for the same purpose in the 80’s.
As a kid in the 80's you had a poster of 1 of 3 cars on your wall, Ferrari Testarossa, Porsche 911 or the Lamborghini Countach, I sat in the Lamborghini group. Whilst I love the look of the Ferrari and Porsche the Countach was like a birth of a new era in car design, that tapered wedge shape that so many super cars today still use. The first 10 seconds, that distinctive sound of that V12 engine, and to think it only had 350hp. The Countach is a motoring legend and always will be.
Esse belíssimo LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH com certeza é um dos maiores acertos da história automobilística de todos os tempos... CARRO SENSACIONAL... De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...
A great summertime Movie when I was a Kid. At the time i was only 13 and it was a treat to see these kind of Movies Outdoors with my Parents and family.,
Couldn't make it today. Well, partly because modern cars are garbage, but also all the middle ages harpies would be screeching about all the drinking and driving in the movie. Oh, and the Gumball movie was ok, just more "adult" and degenerate.
My Grandmother lived in the same neighborhood as the Chicken Tycoon-Al Copeland(Popeyes).He had a White Countach&He was NOT afraid to put the hammer down.NO-ONE could beat that car-NO-ONE!Even as a little kid-I knew-that was something special.53Yrs later-I can remember grandma's house-DEAD SILENT!Only the Grandfather Clock🕰️&Then⚡🏎️🎼
In my town in Denmark, one man had a car like this. One day many people waiting for bus in the city center, we suttenly could hear thunder and canon sound, everybody looked where the nois came from, then the car drive very slowly for green light. I never forget that day and time.
I fell in love with that car the second I saw it as a kid. It was a legendary car. It was a star and was one of the most photographed cars ever. It looked awesome and sounded awesome. I saw one at a car show and when I saw it in person I knew it was the sexiest car ever. That poor Pontiac never stood a chance.
It actually was. In a way... Speed Zone was the 3rd installment. Jamie Farr is in it still playing the same part. John Candy and John Schneider are in it also. It was ok.
My dream car since I saw one for the first time. Even by todays standards it’s still a radical design. Was an absolute masterpiece of an automobile. Was fortunate to get a ride in one and it was the highlight of my life. And what an awesome intro and couldn’t have picked a better ride.
It had its shortcomings but still an unbelievable piece of design and engineering, the chassis is incredible! One of the sweetest rides ever conceived and no matter what shortcomings it did have I’d kill to own one!
I remember watching The Cannonball Run in the movie theaters when I was a kid. For the next five years all I did was build Lamborghini models... my room had hundreds of them. Great time of life :)
I was 11 when I first watched this movie. I lost track of how many times I watched it back then. I watched this movie so many times I think I could have recited the script from start to finish. I expect it's due to childhood wonder but no movie since has inspired this much joy.
I had a poster of an '85 quattrovalvole and pamela anderson on my bedroom wall. I had spunk stalingtites dripping from the ceiling all through my teenage years.
Always loved that moment when they match the lambo’s revs to the music at around 0:15, it might even have been the exact moment i got into cars as a kid:)
I think it's still the most beautiful car ever made. Editing goof: as everyone is flying by them while the officer has them pulled over, their zippers are down, then when the camera angle goes back to them, the zippers are up. Not that I'm complaining.
"The canonball countach full dokumentary" ...nice doku about the history of canonball-race and last but not least about the LP400S Countach from "Auf dem Highwaý ist die Hölle los' -movie (German title).
I heard that the wing was stuck on hastily at the last minute as the car was set to come in from Italy but could not pass customs due to front being too low
@@kavinskysmith4094 Still a wing...it's even cut into the bonnet...I know it was to get around rules..They come out with an Ugly US bumper later on for the countach
There really hasn't been a car before or since that looks or sounds as good as this nor has a car had this much effect on people..... Keep your Ferraris etc.....give me a Countach any day 😍😍😍
@infoslinger .....re the Aventador and Murc they do most deffinitely sound amazing, but I'm sure its a matter of taste and preference. Many of us Lambo fans love the newer stuff for sure, but sometimes the old school stuff will always sound better. 😎👍
The nose wing was only on the grey import cars modified in America to meet U.S. regulations. Lamborghini eventually produced U.S. compliant cars direct from the factory.

42 years later and the Countach still looks and sounds out of this world.
Engineering masterpiece.
I think the only thing Lambo has done since that measures up to it is the Aventador. Which seems very much to borrow from the iconic look.
42 years! Man, you made me feels really old
damn right !
Fantastic
@@babisawi5945 same here!!
Probably one of the best movie intros ever
Mmm 5/10
I'd say the truck chase at the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop gives it a run for the money.
@@taskerpro944 yeah for sure
Agreed.
It was the first time I ever saw a Lambo
Still one of the most iconic cars ever made...always will be.
@J true. But iconic like the DeLorean

The exhaust sound of that V12 going through the gears gives me shivers in all the right places!
After 40+ years, that intro never gets old. Still a stunning car today.
Not many 40-year-old cars from 1940 were still stunning in 1981. Times aren't changing as fast these days.
I take my tests seriously.
Me too!
Will still get todays cars get burned onto a one on one race.............................................
Nothing nowadays will be remembered like the countach. It's a legend.
Great car, great times
Look at the NEW Countach. IT, IS, BACK!
F40 tops it
@@crimsonpirate1710 no
I'm pretty sure the Prius will be remembered at least as long as the Countach, just not as fondly.
The Cannonball Run: one of the most underrated movies ever.
nah, movie is bad ass!
@@dugii12345 OK. Agree.
Another fuckwit saying something successful is underrated. Have you ever had an original thought?
Don't forget about The Gumball Rally
This movie was so much fun to watch back in the 80's. So glad I got to experience the 80's! And the Countach was amazing!!!
I was only a child through the 80s, but I realize now how special that was.
We will never see a movie like this again. A great flick. Priceless!
Thank God
Quoting the Russian from John Wick......PRICELESS !!!
Gumball Rally was pretty good too.
A rich man moved to town, was a good one.
こんなに気持ちよさそうに走るカウンタックの映像はこれだけかもしれない。
Quad cam V12s make a sound that stays with a child to adulthood. I hope that this sound will continue to inspie kids long after Im gone.
Utterly stunning design, looks futuristic even now
@Uncle Creepy yes I think it adds even more drama to an already outrageous design

Beautiful lines, perfect form and designed to perfection... the car's not bad either.

Alpine car stereo poster introduced me to the Countach
I was -3 year in 1982
Cannonball...The car, the music, engine sounds, comedy...one of the best open scenes of a movie. Also, one of the funniest movies ever.
Lets not forget the cleavage!
In the front row at the theater that Lamborghini gave me chills when it came on the screen. Ahhh 81’ sigh, I was 15
Those police firebirds look sweet also but give me a countach anyday
Yeah they’re no slouches but the lambo … next level
Did the police Firebirds actually exist back then?
@@markusantonio4866 I would not be surprised if the CHP used Firebirds for high speed pursuits just as they used the foxbody Mustang notchbacks for the same purpose in the 80’s.
This Firebirds we’re cars from Smokey And The Bandit - you can see the TTops under the blue
Me to any day
I have seen this movie about 20 times and it never gets old.

@l337pwnage yeah the blue haired brigade and the alphabet Mafia have ruined the film industry😥
idont care how much sped up footage there is in this opening scene, it still makes me smile
It make me cry that i missed the 80s, every thing was so sexy
9 years old when i first heard the Howl of the Lambo at the Beg of this movie..... i was hooked
Still one the BEST looking supercars EVER made!!!! The ONLY car that gets close is the Diablo!!!!
designed by the same genius - marcello gandini who also created the miura !!!
The Purple Diablo SE30 gets too close!!!
Yeah ok, i guess the Dodge Omni never existed?
Certainly one of the funniest ever made, and the cast is breathtaking. Got them all. And as for captain chaos 😂
Wie COOL wie ich diesen Film Geliebt habe .Die Autos einfach großartig

70"s.... in this case....
Ferrari Testarossa is better.
@@firsttry2 it's a better car. But the Countach is better poster art, and that's what matters with a supercar made before the late 90s/early 00s.

The car is awesome .But the cannonball run is one of my favorite movies. I still enjoy seeing it.All the actors done a great job making this comedy.
2:06 even today this scene gives me goosebumps. The Lamborghini Countach was way beyond its time!
I assume you know the film was sped up.
Iconic car in a film with so many iconic actors. Still watch it occasionally now great fun
Most of the stuff on my walls were motorcycles but I had a Lamborghini, f40,heather thomas and cathrine bach!!!!! Cannonball was awesome!!!!
Aj keď som vyrastal v socializme kina tieto filmy premietali,sú to pre mňa legendy ktoré nikdy nezostarnu,

I remember seeing that Movie when it was brand new, at the Deauxville Cinema, in Conroe , Texas.
The 80's were something special, The things i would do today just to go back in time and live a fast life back then.

Best damn intro with Ray Stevens singing it ✅
Those were a days and all natural Girls👍
First love Countach 😍
I watched this movie a thousand times as a kid
One of the most iconic 80s super cars
What most people forget, they were probably refueling every 20 miles at that speed 😂
as a Countach owner, I can say that I have driven cross country in it. it ended up being more like National Lampoon's Vacation than Cannonball Run.
As a Cannonballer, I completely understand. Never heard anything good about reliability on those
You met Cristie Brinkley?
WHEN THE MOVIES WERE MOVIES. AND THE CAR? NO WORDS. AND THE GIRLS? LOVELY.

The front wing on this one is gheeeeey though...
good song
And Lamborghinis are cool
