Cannonball Run 2

Pros: A couple funny lines, nice to see some of the actors
Cons: Painfully unfunny for the most part;Zombie Dean Martin

I have seen this film more times than a sane man should have. I have seen too much. This anemic follow-up to the superb Cannonball Run (1981) used to be on HBO about as much as say, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, or Beastmaster. Although, really, has ...

Pros: Lots of big entertainment names and faces
Cons: Stale and repetitive

Immediately after seeing this sequel, the words "stale" and "repetitive" come to mind because everything on the screen has been done - better - before. It's as if the Hollywood Rat Pack decided, in a drunken stupor at a party one...

Pros: Dean Martin Roast-kind of humor
Cons: Watch it in a group, preferably while in an altered state

Quite simply, "Cannonball Run 2" is the best movie I've ever seen. However, before you dismiss me as some crack-addled fiend, unable to discern a good movie from my own rectum, allow me to defend my rather bold statement. First, a little...

Pros: Comedic timing of the cast, good jokes with funny punchlines. "Him" is also back.
Cons: New characters aren't defined as the ones from the first movie.

A Sheik (Ricardo Montalbon) has ordered his only son (Jamie Farr) with a driver's license to go to America to put on the illegal cross-country street car race with a a purse of $1-million financed by the Sheik. Many of the misfit racers return from ...

Pros: many famous faces,the ratpack.
Cons: often very silly

"Cannonball Run 2" was on tv last night.I was very surprised by the many famous faces in the movie.
The cast actually includes The Rat pack(Franky,Dean and Sammy)Telly Savallas(who played the famous detective,you know!),Burt Reynolds,Jaws(you know...

Pros: Funny, full of stars.
Cons: Same formula as the first one.

The original Cannonball Run movie was a classic, featuring a broad cast of popular American stars of its day, along with a few lesser-known foreign stars, among them one Jackie Chan. A relatively lawless cross-country race served as the background for...

Pros: Some laughter. Nice cars. Outtakes at end of movie. Bigfoot Monster Truck!
Cons: No Roger moore! Not that funny. A bit too childish. Ideas taken from TDR2000

As I write this opinion, I have not yet seen cannonball run 1. This is much better apparently. Especially with roger moore. Cannonball run 2 isn't very pleasing though. Even with Frank Sinatra. Burt Reynolds "Womanising" shouldn't be counted on however....
