This is an EPIC movie! Been watching it over and over again since I was a kid. The cast just amazing, that lambo is just awesome and this scene (the begining) is just perfection!
This is the best intro ever to a movie... cars, girls, funny guys it has it all... all legends... they dont make movies like this no more... i miss the 80s and 90s, what a time for movies and music...
RIP Cannonballers: Farrah Fawcett, Dom Deluise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr., Jack Elam, Bert Convy, George Furth, and Molly Picon. Gone to that racetrack in the sky.
can watch this all day...love every moment of this great movie..if you ever feel down, watch this, it is hilarious and just plain fun , even the outakes were great..thanks for this :)
This is still one of my favorite movies of all time, and I would still give my left nutt to have an 86-87 coutach. I drooled over those cars for years. Beautiful style.
I just saw this like a month ago and I forgot YJackie Chan was in it... Those were great day's when speed meant driving. . And for a lot!!! Double Nickel meant a challenge!!!! Then give me a ticket but only if they can catch me.lol
I saw this in the theater on Fathers Day back in 1981. 40 years this coming June. One of my favorite movies of all time....I know people today do not really appreciate this gem...but it was a classic. Imagine being on this movie crew...ahhh the stories. Greek what are the odds on this Cannonball cockamamie!?
"Headquarters, we're still in pursuit of the black lamburgini!" "Car 42, you've been in pursuit for 2 hours another five minutes and you'll be in AZ." "yeah, and we're gonna stay in pursuit until we catch'em!" "It did take us that long to catch Dilinger!" What a great kick-ass intro to an awesome funny movie! :)
Considering the Lambo has a far higher top speed, I don't see them 'ever' catching up LOL (and yeah that drop a gear and pull away- the Lambo could actually do that to a firebird LOL)
@@fireball0762 Sad to say you're right. If they were to try and make another film like this, it would be full of virtue signalling and agenda pushing. In short, it would suck!
Fascinating, how the song alone feels like violating speed limits with its subtle staccato. And I bet, a countach would trigger a radar trap even when parking - 70/80ies design and power decadence at its best. But I wonder why they didn't add a DeTomaso Pantera to the franchise.
Back in the 70's the Lamborghini did 0-100kmph in 5.9 seconds and had a top speed of 264kmph The Trans Am did 0-100kmph in 6.7 seconds and had a top speed of 198kmph

More than a quarter century old, and that lambo still drops everyone dead in their tracks by the sheer sight and sound of it... Lust is hardly the word to describe what I 'm feeling right now...
@@steved2136 Trans Ams are pretty cool and was surprised to see one as a police car. Trans Ams have been fast over the years and are a great American Icon. If nothing else they look cool. Why you hatin?
The all star cast in these movies were amazing, you just can't do this now, it would be youtubers and reality stars with PC writers. Shoutout and RIP to fellow Memphian Hal Needham for creating these movies, from stuntman to legendary film director.
i so love this! I just thought of something a moment ago! This crazy awesome opening sequence reminds me of Smokey And The Bandit with a twist so to speak wouldn't you agree?
Love this movie got it for Christmas a couple years ago. I think my sister got it at walmart. I love watching on my 42" vizio full hd tv. turn on surround sound and sit back and enjoy.
He and his co-driver, Michael Hui, were two of the top names in Hong Kong movies at the time this came out (Hui was actually the bigger of the two, with several blockbusters to his name). The production company behind this film, Golden Harvest, is also based in Hong Kong.
I still got my copy of the first cannonball run, watched that movie so many times I remember parts of the opening theme song... Ah, that movie brings back so many good memories
I saw this movie when I was a 12. I'd never loved a woman. Too young for that. But I sure as hell fell in love with this car. The lamborghini countach - my first love.
I loved this film when I was growing up and I still love it now, 80's car films never disappoint
I can't believe this movie is 30 years old. I don't know how many times I watched it as a kid.
now its 40 years .....
(from the future) Hey now it's 50yrs old!
All of them.
I saw it in the theater when it first came out!😉
40 now ;-)
one of the best openings ever!!!!
my love for the Countach was born!!!!!
i grew up with movies like this one right here, and they are still a blast to me, i'm a lucky kid of the 80s, great times man, truly great times !
best intro to film ever.
Beverly Hills Cop also
amen to that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One word
Blade!
Bridge at Remagan.
If you want to go fast, drive an Italian sports car with no right angles..
This is exactly why I had to buy my Countach. Just shows what an impact it had on an 11 year old boy back in the 80's. Epic.
still a dream
This is an EPIC movie! Been watching it over and over again since I was a kid. The cast just amazing, that lambo is just awesome and this scene (the begining) is just perfection!
I drove across country last year and had this song on a loop for 200 miles
What speed did you hit? And what vehicle were you driving in???
This is the best intro ever to a movie... cars, girls, funny guys it has it all... all legends... they dont make movies like this no more... i miss the 80s and 90s, what a time for movies and music...
Well here we are nearly 40 years later and the roar of that V12 still shends shivers up my spine!
⌚💸⛽💨Gone 😎
Classic sound for a classic car. I agree.
@@jaylu2414 Yeah the Countach is one of my top 10's
I want "Hoovie's" White one 😎

i could watch it a billion times and it wont get old
Most of them small stars became legends in their own way. And as they say, the rest is history.
When I was a kid me and a friend were obsessed with car movies. Canon Ball run (1&2) were the ultimate. Must have watched them dozens of times.
The moment I fell in love with the Countach! Then ladies in tight shiny outfits. I was young and impressionable.
Adrian Barbeau and Farrah Fawcett!
@@JeffDeWitt No, Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman. Farrah Fawcett was the 'patient' in Burt Reynold's ambulance.
@@goweresque I stand corrected. Maybe it's time I watch the movie again... for research purposes of course. :)
Hot pants
So very true ...
can watch this all day...love every moment of this great movie..if you ever feel down, watch this, it is hilarious and just plain fun , even the outakes were great..thanks for this :)
This is still one of my favorite movies of all time, and I would still give my left nutt to have an 86-87 coutach. I drooled over those cars for years. Beautiful style.
And the v12 howl.....The coolest car engine sound ever...
"THE" best opening scene, ever!!
one of the best entrance songs to a film of all time
EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that countach-sound makes me smile again.
OMFG the greatest beginning to a movie EVER!!! I really want that song. I hope they have it on iTunes.
Just Awesome. That sound at the start just sums up the 80s for me. And the film is one of my best of all time too!
Dom Deluise was awesome in these movies...lol Great movie.
But not much as Moore. Rog' (slam!).... 🤣
I just saw this like a month ago and I forgot YJackie Chan was in it...
Those were great day's when speed meant driving. .
And for a lot!!! Double Nickel meant a challenge!!!!
Then give me a ticket but only if they can catch me.lol
Dom Deluise and Burt Reynolds make a great comedy team!😆
Highly underrated.
Been a cop long ? lol
Can't believe this movie is 40 years old. Holy crap. I was 6 years old. The 80s were great.
Same here. Classic. The sound of that Lamborghini is wicked. Always comeback to this video when I need something to smile about. Plus Farrah Fawcet 😍.
7...
I never get tired of watching this opening move theme.
I saw this in the theater on Fathers Day back in 1981. 40 years this coming June.

"It did take us that long to catch Dilinger!"
What a great kick-ass intro to an awesome funny movie! :)
thats a Lamborghini
Awesome, another 5 hours and he'd be in TX lol!
Considering the Lambo has a far higher top speed, I don't see them 'ever' catching up LOL (and yeah that drop a gear and pull away- the Lambo could actually do that to a firebird LOL)
@@steved2136 drop a gear?
@@lockheedhenesy3899 go back a gear (or two, or three) and accelerate away.... (Go from 5th gear to 4th gear to get better acceleration...
This is a good one. I was a kid when i saw it on a Betamaxtape....long before DVD or mp4 came out.....
SHHHH!!, say nothing loud, they will try to reboot this movie and ruin it...keep it between us old movie lovers.
oh wow not like this is one of the most famous car movies
I'd actually watch it if it included guys like Ed Bolian and the other CarTrek guys
@@MrManniG wtf
I love de Pontiac police car
Clarkson Hammond ans May can make it. Not so good like the old one but good enough.
O melhor começo de filme que já vi!!!
Sem falaŕ que um dos melhores filmes sobre corridas e muito divertido!!! Bons tempos...
i LOVE this scene, one of the best car scenes ever in a movie
Cannonball, Convoy, Smokey & The Bandit, The Blues Brothers, man those were the (analog) days!!
@Tintoycar King Of The Mountain, No Man's Land!
My favourite bit is the awesome acceleration and panning away at 2:02 makes you realise just how quick that thing is!
I think it's about time we had another good car movie like this one...
problem is you won't find actor/actresses like these were. This was a slice of life from that time.
@@fireball0762 Sad to say you're right. If they were to try and make another film like this, it would be full of virtue signalling and agenda pushing. In short, it would suck!
Love this movie.Gives me a nice comfort hug.Can't beat it.
One movie I hope they never *EVER* try to remake! I don't care how great/exotic/fast some cars are today, this movie can never be bettered.
Electric Vehicles.
Great memories from those days. And the sound of that Lamborghini is awesome.........
That priest, he wasn't a father, he was a mother.
One of the best lines ever in a movie.
Great car too.
THIS was what made me fall in love with cars as a small kid. It's raw awesomeness for a 6yr old! The sound of that Lambo still makes me smile..
懐かし…何年前だろ？今観てもワクワクしたｯ！
Best movie beginning ever. Would watch it over and over and over when I was a kid. Turn up the volume and crank the sound of the 500 LPS engine!
Thanks my friend. I remember my dad taking me to see it in 82 when I was 9. Great times :-)
Amen
Same here, just love the intro
And now it's over 40 years old, still a great movie!
That brings back some memories when I was a kid! I loved this movie! WOW love the sounds!!
i cant tell u how many times i watch this part with the stereo on MAX!!! i also remember playing with the slotcar set!!! awesome!
The good thing is, the ending of the intro when there is no speeding up. It really shows the power of that V12!
I loved this movie growing up. I knew a lot of stars were in it, but did not remember all of these, like Jackie Chan.
Car sounds so sweet! I turn the volume up on this part up whenever i watch this movie
I loved watching this movie as a kid. Brings back fun memories. God I love that Countach,
This movie is why to this day the sound of a Lambo V12 gives me the chills!
Probably one of the best sounding engines ever❤
When my lust affair with the lambo began love the double clutch and the exhaust notes!!
Awesome film....the Countach with the two slinches.....wow!
THIS IS THE GREATEST INTRO IN ANY MOVIE EVER MADE:D brings a tear to my eye...
When that synthesized bass kicks in with the countach screamin, you can't help but mash your right foot down!
Fascinating, how the song alone feels like violating speed limits with its subtle staccato.
And I bet, a countach would trigger a radar trap even when parking - 70/80ies design and power decadence at its best.
But I wonder why they didn't add a DeTomaso Pantera to the franchise.
I can remember the film ..... amazing! I don't know how often I've seen it!
Back in the 70's the Lamborghini did 0-100kmph in 5.9 seconds and had a top speed of 264kmph
The Trans Am did 0-100kmph in 6.7 seconds and had a top speed of 198kmph
But no Lamborghini ever ran block for 400 cases of Coors! ;)
:-D
to bad the Trans Am Wasn't the quickest to 100 mph it was a Dodge truck

Because of this movie I fell in love with the 6.6 liter Trans Am and the Lamborghini Countach. Would still take either one today.
Great music theme intro! & cant go wrong with a...
Countach 80's ultimate dream machine.
More than a quarter century old, and that lambo still drops everyone dead in their tracks by the sheer sight and sound of it... Lust is hardly the word to describe what I 'm feeling right now...
本当、最高のオープニングだと思います。車好きには
great car,v12 power...and awesome movie,with very good actors...Farrah was so beautyfull RIP
Jackie Chan was in this movie too? Dang everyone's in it! Love the Trans Am police car. Lol
why you like the slowest car in the entire movie??? I mean some people like garbage trucks OK, so I suppose you can like garbage cars LOL
@@steved2136 Trans Ams are pretty cool and was surprised to see one as a police car. Trans Ams have been fast over the years and are a great American Icon. If nothing else they look cool. Why you hatin?
I watched this so much as a kid, love the sounds
のっけからかっこイイ場面ですよね。カウンタックいい音してる！
Watching the Lamborghini screeming down the highway, the opening is the best part of the movie.
Best Opening ewer ! Im remembering when i was like 9 :)
i just got this for christmas!!! one of my favorites from 1981...they dont make em like this anymore...sadly.
The all star cast in these movies were amazing, you just can't do this now, it would be youtubers and reality stars with PC writers.

Sure!

This scene and and opening scene to Beverly Hills Cop. Best openings ever
That Lamborghini howl never ever gets old!!!!
This made me think "I CAN'T DRIVE 55!"
Can you drive 155
Sammy Hagar had the same idea...
one of my fav all time movies. Used to be a real Cannon ball run in Northern teritory, as no speed limits in the outback there
perfect car, perfect film, amazing music :) yessssss
Love this movie got it for Christmas a couple years ago. I think my sister got it at walmart. I love watching on my 42" vizio full hd tv. turn on surround sound and sit back and enjoy.
That engine sound!! God damn!!
There has never been an opening scene to a movie that would get your adrenaline going as this one will!
Loving the front wing with rally lights!!!! lol

love the blips between gears (don't make you go faster but sounds fabadoobie
The sound of that Lambo just goes so well with this music, so well timed to the film, awesome. Just awesome - bring back leaded petrol !
This tune took me back....waaayyy back HA HA
love this movie
Ooh, take me back to my childhood in 1 second! Loooove'd the Countach!
Damn!! Even the police car was cool!
One of my favorite movies.

Its incredible.The film is genius , its wonderful.
Used to skive off school and watch this on Betamax
Shame shame! A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
This is the first time I ever saw and fell in love with Lamborghini. I LOVE this movie
best intro ever,
I still got my copy of the first cannonball run, watched that movie so many times I remember parts of the opening theme song... Ah, that movie brings back so many good memories
What an amazing sound out of the engine
XD
This Film is a legend and one of the best films ever made!
"it ain't what you do, it's how you do it"
The sound of that Lamborghini V12 is eargasmic. Ain't hard on the eyes either.
