We need to go back to making a few goofy movies with ensembled casts from various generations and professions (acting, music, sports, etc.). Cannonball Run seems like the type of movie they should remake every 5-10 years in that spirit. Similar to how the style of "James Bond" movies change over time, it would be fun to see different generations' take on the same corny "illegal car race" premise.
It's weird how when watching this movie in 1982 as a 10 year old. Everything seemed so new, modern & high tech. Compared to movies that were just a few years older. Now at 52 everything looks so primitive. Yet oddly better and from a better vanished time. Never to return.
Born in 72 ✨ right there with you! Man, what a great time in life that was! Who knows how many times we watched this movie!! Dozens at least, maybe 100 times
I had no idea Jackie Chan was in Cannonball Run!! Watched it when I was a kid in the 80's and now I'm going to have to back and look for him. My favorite line was "two milks", my 10 year-old brain thought that was the best humor ever!
Jackie didn't have the best time on that one, which is why he didn't work with Hollywood again until Rumble in the Bronx. He does say that this movie gave him the idea to put his bloopers in during the credits.
I got to ride in this car. It was bought many years later from the studio and a friend of mine restored it. It had been painted several times, different colors for other movies. VERY loud and soooo cool. The owner passed away, so I don’t know where the car ended up.
I seen this movie in the theater in the early 1980's as a young kid and always loved it.👍 Also for some of us Gen-x that remember you got to watch 2 movies for one price in those day. 😄
...until you sit inside one. Only people under 6'2" can sit in it without hitting their head on the roof, there is no seat adjustment, only feet under a size 10 can operate the pedals without hitting two at once, you can't see out of the back window, the door windows only open enough to flick ash from a cigarette, all the interior is made of vinyl-covered right-angled boxes, and the throttle and clutch both take a huge effort to depress. But yes, it LOOKS and SOUNDS amazing.
I was probably 7 when this came out and all I knew, was that I wanted the Lamborghini book that year for Christmas and I got it. Loved the brand ever since even if that front wing was questionable ...
It’s not complicated, there are men that are women, men that identify as women, men that are pre op or post op, gays are now LGTBQ rainbow warriors. See subsection 73a for women
This came on tv at 8pm in the UK when I was about 9 yrs old (1987) Begged to stay up to.watch the film but got sent to bed half way through. Had the VHS at school about 3 years later, must have watched the it 10 times. Greatest bad movie ever!!
Seen this movie dozens of time but just realized that most of that opening was on interstate 8 heading into the Laguna mountains! Driven that stretch a hundred times at least!
I soured on the Lamborghini Countach when I found out about how much of a pain they are. But, damn... This scene reminds me why I wanted one so badly when I was a kid.
Filmed in Boulder City, Nevada Sadly none of those roads exist anymore, since the state added interstate 11, in 2017. I used to drive on those roads for years.
Back in the 80s I was still a kid. But I remember my mom taking me to an exotic car dealership that was in the city. I was able to see and sit in all the most famous popular cars of the day. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche... The dealership disappeared in the 90s...replaced by a FedEx Kinko's😅. But I still have memories of it 41 years later...
Love the opening to this movie. That police Firebird card was pretty damn awesome as well for a pursuit car. Love the helicopter pan out scene. I am pretty sure these were stunt drivers driving the car not the 2 supermodel chicks. The Countach is one of the coolest cars ever made although probably a nightmare to own and maintain. The 2nd film had all the basic capri police cars no way in hell would they be able to catchup to that Countach.
Cool af. Proud to have watched this when it was fresh - and that Lambo still holds its own against anything made today. Don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
Still brings me back to teen-years. Sad that we can’t make a movie today simply for entertainment like this one; instead today it’s all guaranteed profit or regurgitate the same-old ”. 🇨🇦
@@Willy-hs7uu I don’t necessarily disagree but I’m not a fan of Ben Stiller. His sort of humor like Sacha Baron Cohan of Borat fame are too off kilter for me.
They should show this film in film school about how to make an exciting fun movie forget all the diversity equal rights bullshit rainbows and unicorns and focus the movie on having a good time with interesting characters. The cars are the star of the film we want to see A list actors just going for broke not that hard. But there always has to be some message or agenda instead of just a basic plot with some laughs.

Hearing that V12 open up.... ...what a glorious noise!
A-fucking-men
Yeah...that v12. Love it.
The best scene

Oh, hearing that in the theater????? Goose bumps!!!😂
The Lamborghini Countach still has an incredibly futuristic look today, even though 50 years have passed.
Timeless design. This is, to this day, still my favorite exotic car.
I have the LEGO Speed Champions Countach on my desk :D
Countach ans F40 legend cars
Same with the 917 can am racer
i just bought a 1978 nikko rc lamborghini countach as a shelf queen.
can't find a decent rc countach nowadays.
I was just starting high school when this movie came out. Great time to be alive. I miss the 80's so much.
The 80s were the best.
まじで８０年代
最高だった！
The best!
Really the best. Now I’m 60 and old. 😢
@@turbofanlover I was a teen in the 80s. It was the best decade ever! Cars, music, girls with big hair! 😍
That last blip and downshift is glorious. This movie as a child helped shape my love of cars, comedy, and women.
Shaped my love for speed-limit sign graffiti.
Me too. I still can't get Adrienne Barbeau's big tiddies out of my mind.

It would be a lot more WOKE and DIVERSE, then.
@@TucsonDude nothing wrong with showing happiness instead of hate.
@@TucsonDudeso basically it’d be The Fast and Furious franchise. Nothing wrong with that.
@@methos1999 As long as you like the path down to mediocrity.
What an amazing cast! So many great actors, most are gone now :(
Watched this as a kid in the theater. Blown away! RIP Dom DeLuise
Dom, Burt, Dean, Sammy, Roger, Farrah, Jack, Mel, Bert & Hal ... all gone but never forgotten.
Those were great magical time we all lived through.
You will never see another star studded movie like this. Too many egos in today’s time. Unbelievable cast.
WHAT! LOL. These people had the biggest egos! I know you are looking through your nostalgia glasses. Take them off and look again!
@ they made 3 cannon ball runs so they must have put something aside. They May had egos but they didn’t show it.
I remember when I was a kid, every time this came on HBO or the Movie Channel, I was glued to the TV for 2 hours. Still one of my favorites!
This bring back childhood memories. My pal had it on BetaMax and we saw it countless times!

It was bought and restored a couple years ago. Theres a video on youtube.
Countach will forever be my first love.
Yesssss! ✨💖

Just the sound alone of that Lambo working is awesome!
That exhaust note...... that car was on every boy's bedroom wall in America.
How about that front spoiler?
So weird!🤣
@@ikvangalen6101 I read that they only put it on for this movie because it wasn't an option for the car. I dunno for sure.
Farah Fawcett was on the same walls!
@mitchmasterfix5292 I think I had her on mine.
@@ikvangalen6101 I hate that spoiler and the fog lights.
Haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. I'm watching the credits just now and realizing so many of them have passed. God bless.
The Countach is the coolest car ever made. Period.

Exactly you try and reverse one
@@KevPage-Witkicker oh, i sat in one in my young years when i was 5'11 and slim and i barely fitted. But who cares. Its a Countach.
I'll take the Pantera every time!
I like The Countach, but I love The Diablo.
That funky bass line "cannon ball." Adrienne Barbeau, say no more
The opening to this movie was epic!
This is still one of the BEST all-time movies...to be young again!
As much as I am a car guy, I've never seen this movie! That opening was sick...I'll be watching it before the week's out!
It is a great opening as well the movie gets a little goofy at times but love the opening
As a kid I loved this movie! So cool to see now the opening scene is right where I live now, they go right pass Railroad station in Boulder NV!
One of my favorite movies as a kid.
I was probably 7 when this came out and all I knew, was that I wanted the Lamborghini book that year for Christmas and I got it. Loved the brand ever since even if that front wing was questionable ...
This scene sold more posters in 80’s than anything; except maybe Cindy Crawford
Loved this scene and was obsessed by cars but…. Cindy Crawford still wins.
If someone had been smart enough to make a poster of Cindy Crawford on a Countach... 🎤💧
No Suzanna hoffs set Cindy in the dark for me
Don't forget Farrah Fawcett poster.
@@hisaddle That was the 70s. 1976 to be precise.
Watched this in the theater when I was a kid. First time I think I ever saw a blooper real.
Oh look ! An awesome movie from when movies where awesome
80s were the best times, life can be to complicated nowadays.
It’s not complicated, there are men that are women, men that identify as women, men that are pre op or post op, gays are now LGTBQ rainbow warriors. See subsection 73a for women
it's because this new generation is offended by everything nowadays..
1982 - outran Stateys on I5 in my '70 Mustang. 130 mph on my way to medford.
That and if they made this movie today it would involve helicopters, drones and a tyre strip...
Yeah I could probably send a fax to complain about your complaint previously
I was 18 when it came out, and its still one of my most favorite movies, an Iconic classic.
The music, the engine sound, the voice ….. brilliant…….nearly forgot……..the catsuit ladies 😅
Don't' forget, "and two Milk" - The Sheik
I still remember that car chase around the 20th Century sign at the first of the movie, i was like maybe 5.
That's it. Gonna buy it on UA-cam. I'll probably be the only one with it. I bought " Where Eagles Dare" the other day. No-one else has it.
I bought it on Apple TV a few months ago 👍🏻
I’m gutted that Cannonball Run 2 isn’t available on there!
@@Mister_H. It's NOT! What the heck are they thinking??
One of my favourite films of its time…. Along with Convoy, Smokey & the Bandit etc…. And the zip drop…. 😮
Ooooh the Countach really is the Godfather of Supercars.. Simply beautiful😍👊
Italian superiority!
Oh the memories, I have to watch this movie again! Damn the Lambo sounds great
This is what made me fall in love with the Lamborghini Countach!
And the film, Burt Reynolds and the rest of the cast where just brilliant too 👌👏👏👏
This came on tv at 8pm in the UK when I was about 9 yrs old (1987) Begged to stay up to.watch the film but got sent to bed half way through. Had the VHS at school about 3 years later, must have watched the it 10 times.
Greatest bad movie ever!!
That trans am looks beautiful 😍 holy pontiac 😮
Agreed! ✨💖
I Seen This With Barb And My Dad A Long Time Ago.dad and burt reynolds as well as roger moore rest in peace.
Seen this movie dozens of time but just realized that most of that opening was on interstate 8 heading into the Laguna mountains! Driven that stretch a hundred times at least!
So many scenes in this movie were hilarious.
Of course, this was my favorite as a little boy.
the best film intro ever!
The intro from Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is up there.
Its an awsome!! Saw it on the big screen when it first came.out!!!
I soured on the Lamborghini Countach when I found out about how much of a pain they are. But, damn... This scene reminds me why I wanted one so badly when I was a kid.
Yeah when you put in real life it kind of ruins it but on film this looks like a dream.
The Countach is a work of art, visually and audibly. But in real life, I think I'd prefer that Trans Am police car.
That's like saying you soured on dating an attractive woman because you realized they require more maintenance. Of course they do lol
Countach and lotus esprit still my favourite cars that i would buy if i had the money. Put them in the front room to look at. Then drive.
Oh my god what an opening scene to a movie. Every kid's dream the car and the girls
I drove these roads Vegas baby!
Nothing like driving on desert roads!! ✨💖
Utterly nostalgic. Watching this as very young child.
“What, these rosary bleeds?”
😲✨💖
2:34 If you wach this part when your 4 years old ...what would go through your head? LAMBO LOVER FOR LIFE! lol
Filmed in Boulder City, Nevada
Sadly none of those roads exist anymore, since the state added interstate 11, in 2017.

"It didn't take us that long to catch Dillinger." 😆
Best ever lambo by a mile
If you enjoyed Cannonball, I suggest you check out the movie that inspired it: Gumball Rally (1976).
I never get tired of it.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Best cast also. Big names
Thank God I was a kid whe i first seen these. Epic
That Lamborghini Countach is fucking gorgeous 😍
Cool af. Proud to have watched this when it was fresh - and that Lambo still holds its own against anything made today. Don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
I love this movie and I love the song
If the scene had been filmed on a German highway, they wouldn't have had to speed up the film. 😉🏎

Still have the VHS copy, where she says, "Chow baby" right before the end there. And no, it was not in the "Mandela Effect" either.
There is absolutely no replacement for honest to God HORSEPOWER !
I cant believe they put a 80-81 Turbo Trans Am in cop colors. Then again, it was the ultimate joke of the entire Firebird line.
Some Georgia state troopers had trans ams in the late 70’s and 80’s
@@craigschwartz19yeah I remember them from the '80s. They were really fast faster than my mustang unfortunately.
Imagine if they had the Super Duty 455 in it. With the right gearing it would run down that Lambo.
The state police by me had one when I was growing up. I remember the huge jacked up trooper that got to drive it, he knew he looked awesome!
@@mcqueenfanman I think some highway patrols did have a few high power interceptors.
You can’t stream this movie anywhere. Such a shame. Loved this as a kid!
Yar, it be available if ya know where to look, matey!
The drivers in the Trans Am and Lamborghini are very skilled. 😮😮😮😮
Tara Buckman exiting that Lambo to spray paint the speed limit signboard was glorious. I've just master baited to her.
I'm a bigger fan of you Thank you. My favorite. Movie 🎥🎥
When these are inevitably remade, the celebrity choices are the most crucial, but it also CANNOT be polished. It needs to be JUST like this
That cast! ❤
Let’s face it, The Cannonball Run was a reprobate of a movie, but man was it fun!! ❤❤❤
3:24 - "David Shamroy Hamburger" has to be one of the greatest names in Hollywood history...
I wish movies this good were still made.
It was a stupid, goofy movie. God it was fun!

Never grows old.
When Hollywood didn't take itself so serious. Great, fun movie!!!
This is the movie that started my love of all gas guzzling hauling ass cars.

Classic.
Yessss ✨💖
Cannonball Run is a B movie with A-list actors. But I do love this opening scene.
asking for a friend, are roads in America still as good as looks here ?
Oh, the sound of that Lamborghini, baby baby
I still have my Dad's 5000 se! It's locked up started once week!
Ahh the 80's, PLs make a CannonBall Run 2 intro in HD!
That Waca-waca guitar riff is so good.
Can’t seem to watch this movie anywhere
Cannonball run 2 is on Tubi. "Cannonball" is there also which should legally be required to change its name
Even though cannonball! came out 5 years prior to cannonball run?😅@@StephenHenderson-lw4hc
