Great Movie
Added 8/3/2009

Wonderful movie. Not as good as the original Cannon Ball Run movies, but still a very good movie.

Not a great movie, but as far as this type of movie goes, it's pretty good. I am a Burt Reynolds fan. I own a "Bandit" Trans Am, okay. Speed Zone, though not as loaded with major star power as the first two Cannonball movies, is the best of these, better than the enjoyable Cannonball Run and miles better than the Cannonball Run II. I have not seen all of The Gumball Rally yet so I cannot compare. Speed Zone isn't plagued with all the obviously sped up footage and cheesy music as the first two. Also, it was filmed much better and actually has a large dose of actual cool driving. It really makes the first two look pretty old. They actually do a lot with the Countach and other cars and shoot it well. To be fair, a stunt (kit) car was used for the heavier Lamborghini stunts whereas the Cannonball movies just used a real one, though they did no where near the cool stuff.
Anyway it's got lots of comedy, lots of cars, good stunts, cool driving, more modern music, pretty girls, and is overall a more polished and better show. I can hardly see why fans of this type show would not like this last installment.
This needs to be released on DVD. I for one would buy it!

No better than Who's Harry Crumb, Candy's last movie. The Smothers Bros. really are awful!

Good roles for some in here, like Brook
Shields, and other cameos. But Eugene
Levy comes off like a used snake oil
salesman! I was actually glad Candy
punched him at the end. Jamie Farr
(M*A*S*H*) reprises his Cannonball
Run role(s) here! But there have been
too many 'Race Across the States' type
movies already. Burt Reynolds did these
best!

It was funny.

It's not a riot but there are some really funny scenes. Probably the funniest scene involves one of the Smothers brothers confusing airline penuts with something else.
