Customer Reviews for
Cannonball Run 2
Horrible
I actually liked the first Cannonball Run - it was trashy but fun. This movie is no fun.Cannonball Run 2
TERRIBLE! ZERO STARS!!!
I echo the most recent review before this one--one of the worst movies ever made! Unlike the previous reviewer, I in fact love the first Cannonball Run movie. Sure, not the one of the greatest movies ever, but at least the first Cannonball was funny and had a certain charm to it. The sequel? Gag! Not funny at all, the writing is horrible, the scenes are haphazard and disonnected--an umitigated disaster. An amazing lineup of actors, but I'm sure most of them will hang their head in shame when anyone reminds them that they were a part of this movie. Some of the lesser-level actors whose acting ability was never stellar turn in some of the worst acting ever in this movie. Even the bloopers during the end credits aren't funny, although in the first movie they were. The first movie end credits' bloopers gave me the impression that the stars of the first Cannonball had a blast making the first movie, but I'm sure they were embarassed about the sequel. NOT RECOMMENDED.Cannonball Run 2
The Ultimate Vanity Film
Justly forgotten, "Cannonball Run II" (1984) is a glorified home movie that displays its all-star cast in a spectacularly poor light. Production values are nonexistent and the anticipated Rat Pack reunion (with Frank Sinatra barely showing up) falls woefully flat. After sinking to the depths of "Stroker Ace," Burt Reynolds and director Hal Needham end their screen partnership on a truly wretched note.Cannonball Run 2
For the Fans
If you loved the first Cannonball then you'll love the second; in fact if you liked the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies then you like "Cannonball."
In my humble opinion, this is a good movie, not a great movie. One that you can watch over and over again, but won't neccessarly be your first choice when picking one out.
If you're a fan or this era of movie or Burt Reynolds then you should get this movie.Cannonball Run 2
who asked for this trash as a sequel
burt and friends are back again,and i want to know why! i was given these two movies by a coworker andwhile i thank him for the gift,i don't have the heart to tell him what a piece of junk these two movies are.
the "PLOT" such as it is,burt and friends drive fast,fight, drink,drive fast somemore,wreck some cars,and thats it! the race comes at the end as a cartoon, i kid you not. the much talked about frank santara scenes were shot withy frank only and then cut into the movie,and it shows badly.
not one laugh or even chuckle to be found in this mess.the large list of "guest stars" looks great till you notice that these same stars were on love boat every other week till it was droped from the line up.
movies like this is what sent burt into a tailspin in the 80's.Cannonball Run 2
