    The movie was just non-stop fun. I loved seeing all of the actors who climbed on board with Burt. Looking at this amazing tribute Gator, made me realize how much I miss all of these people. Gator out!

      This was not a great movie.
      Bad comedy with some funny moments.
      However, it looked the actors were having a blast filming this

    This movie was as much if not more fun than Smokey. I cherrish these films as I was in high school when they were released. Made my childhood even better and wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks Gator.

    I remember being 7 years old when my father took me to see Superman 2 on opening night while my older brother & his friend went into the next theater and saw Cannonball Run. I would have to wait a whole year to see the film on HBO, but when I did, I enjoyed it.

    I always thought that Hal Needham had this idea for a movie and wanted call up his friends in the business and see if they wanted to be apart of it, I didn't know they all jumped in because Burt was apart of it.
    But you can tell they all had a genuine good time doing this movie and why it probably was so easy to get them to come back for the second one

  • @SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman

    proud to say that I was in Cannonball Run...I was on the Covington Square when Burt landed his plane to get beer, I was with the crowd of folks on the corner as the plane turns around {CZcams Cannonball Plane} which ironically was the same square where I was in the first episode of Dukes of Hazzard 1978 standing on the opposite side with some folks in front of the red store {Harpers Dime store} as the General Lee slides onto the square with Roscoe in hot pursuit {CZcams Dukes of Hazzard : Chase From 1st Episode} & where they do the 180 & go back the other direction & its the same general area {Jonesboro, Conyers, Lithonia, Buford, Norcross, Helen, Jefferson, Lakewood} where all of Smokey & the Bandit was filmed the summer of '76! Of course Gator was filmed just down the road in Savannah! It was so great to grow up in that era & to be a part of some history & as they say Smokey & the Bandit is a southern documentary not just a movie!

    Movies like Cannonball Run, Hooper, Hot Stuff (the Burt Reynolds movie without Burt Reynolds) and Smokey & The Bandit weren’t made for awards, they were made for entertainment & fun. The cast & crew looked like they were all just having a good time and making an entertaining film.

    They neglected to mention one major cast member: the great Molly Picon, queen of the Yiddish theater. (She's probably best remembered as 'Yente' in the movie of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.) She's the reason I saw this in the first place -- I was told she was playing Roger Moore's mother, which was a hilarious idea, so I saw it. I've loved this movie ever since. And what a cast!

    Lemme splain something to the high-falutin' folks.
    Americans don't measure the movie by what awards it won. No one gives a sh*t about that.
    They care about who's in it.
    This movie paired Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw. It paired Burt and Dom DeLuise. It paired the greats Sammy and Dean.
    We also got a nice, albeit PG view of Farrah's pair. 😁
    Academy.....pay attention.

    Siskel and Ebert, two intellectual Boers, who are not that intelligent maybe it’s not the best movie ever made but it took a lot of troubles away from peoples lives for a couple of hours which is what they don’t seem to get and after all these years and all these people being gone who’s going to be remembered I’ll put my money on Burt Reynolds

      But you also have to understand these types of films were not made to be good movies per se... they were purely to have a good time on screen and not something a professional movie critic would enjoy for arguably valid reasons.

  • @CaptainSpalding72

    Siskel & Ebert are correct about the film.
