Very best movie i ever watch

Don't Believe the Hype

Brilliant and touching

The acting in this movie is really good.

(26%) Yet another cannonball run sequel aired on a lousy film channel with ad breaks every two and a half minutes. So I think I'll pass on this one thank you very much. But hang on. It stars the great late John Candy? I'm in. That's how this played out for me and probably many other people who've sat through this lame time passing turkey. So without Mr Candy I won't have watched this. But besides that aspect, what else is there? Well not a lot besides Eugene Levy playing a real jerk in a very small role, some limp comedy, some exotic cars getting mistreated, a few cameos, and Donna Dixon doing her best Marilyn Monroe impression. If you like John Candy as much as I do then you might want to give this a look, but there's nothing really to see here.

It's just too bad more of the original members of the cast didn't do the film. And too bad Hal Needham and Brock Yates didn't make the film.If they had, they would probably had been able to get more of the original actors for this one. It's still a great film to watch nonetheless. Just a bunch of good fun and great races. No need to really get into the details...cause if you let the details ruin it for you, you'll never get into many movies.I personally like not knowing who really won in the race, just goes to show you that the journey is better than who won.

I know people have debated this but this movie IS part of the Cannon Ball Run series. Its only tie however is a brief appearance by Jamie Far as The Shiek within the first few minutes of the movie. After that the movie severs most of its ties with the first two save for the race. Here a new crop of Cannon Ballers run the race while being pursued by Spiro T. Edsel a sheriff in the mold of Bufford T. Justice (a character played by the late Jackie Gleason on the Smokey and the Bandit series). Now believe it or not this is actually a decent movie when viewed outside of the Cannon Ball Run series. However when lined up with the first two Cannon Ball Run movies this just seems like a blatant rip off of them and to a lesser extent Smokey and the Bandit.

Okay, I admit, this is not the funniest of the three Cannonball movies. But lets face it, it is pretty darn funny. Art Hindle as a cop turned Cannonballer, Tim Matheson as a reporter enjoying this story, the Smothers Brothers as rich boys, John Candy, this was great! I love how it had some underrated actors, including Hindle. This was an overall funny, feel good film that deserves more credit than its getting. C'mon guys, its only a movie, give it a break!
