Cannonball Run

| | Comments (6)

Rob (from the office Rob) loaned me a copy of Cannonball Run late last week. What a film.

In terms of the "classic" things you'd like to see in a movie (good acting, engaging storyline, etc.) it was absolutely bare, but it was absolutely chock-full of ridiculous cars, bad puns, and bad chase scenes. And best of all? Well, it's got a Lamborghini Countach with extra lights and a goddamned spoiler on the front. Awesome.

Plus, it's got Roger Moore in an Aston Martin DB5, Jackie Chan in a Subaru hatchback, Terry Bradshaw in a primered-up GM something-or-other, and Sammy Davis Jr. playing a priest in a Ferrari 308. Oh, and Burt Reynolds. Whatever.

And all this, too, in the Land Before Bras. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

heh, I own this movie somehow.

You forgot Dom Delouise!

Oh, man. Dom has all the best puns in this film.

The Countach has always been one of my favorite cars, aesthetically, but I'm weird.

That is a fun, silly movie.

thank you very much for your help. You guys 31457 rock, thanks again.
