http://www.amazon.com/The-Cannonball...uct/B005ERX1Z0

No date yet but is pretty cheap so I preordered it.


Love the film.


Captain Chaos

I would of thought Jackie Chan got billing on the poster?

 

[Kroenen]

Thanks for the info Spizz. I love this movie!


I've never been a fan of blondes, but there was something about Farrah in this movie that I found to be very sexy.


DeLuise: Nice car Father.

Martin: Thank you A******.


I still laugh at that after all these years.

To be fair, no one in America knew who he was in 1981.

It was his first American film, unless you count the uncredited role in 'Enter the Dragon'.

Obvious Guy: Nipples?

Farrah + Adrienne Barbeau was a rather potent combo of hotness back in the day.

This is one of those great '80's period pieces that I love even if the theatrical merit is sorely lacking. It's like my affection for ROLLER BOOGIE. THE CANNONBALL RUN is sort of one of those "you had to be there" movies. If you're in your 20's or 30's today, you might not "get it" and I don't blame you.


But I'm 53 now. When THE CANNONBALL RUN came out, I was a 23 year old gear head with a 455 Trans Am, no-responsibilities, a few bucks to burn and I still had a reserve of youthful hormones. It's the sloppiest piece of film making I've ever seen but it transports from today (grey-haired middle aged guy, one cancer surgery, just enough income to barely tread water) back to my golden age in the 1980's.

I'm 26 and I grew up watching this. I'm not a gearhead perse... more of a wannabe gearhead.

I didn't have the privilege of getting to work/play with cool cars.... umm.. ever.

My friend back in school was the gearhead and he showed me this one way back.


Such a classic! I'll get this one definitely.


Sure hope they use the original poster art for the cover. I can only imagine what kind of hack job of a cover they would make of this one.

I just bought this DVD not long ago for something like $5 I think it was. One of my favorite Hal Needham guilty pleasure films.

 

[Geoff D]

Man, I bought the DVD like two weeks ago! Typical.

 

[Waboman]

This movie rocks! You know they just had a blast filming it. A must own on blu for me.

 

[Matt_Stevens]

Not a great film. Never has been. But there are absolutely some very funny scenes.

If you have MGM HD channel, they do show this movie occasionally (Roller Boogie)

 

[erick granato]

One of my all time favourite movies. i have had the dvd for years. The great cars, the great stars, and poetry about trees.

I think Big Brawl was Jackie's first American movie but it bombed badly

Dated now on Amazon for November 8th. Awesome
