Synopsis
(Burt Reynolds) as J.J. McClure takes off across the country again
in this rickety sequel to Cannonball Run. A sheik has offered $1,000,000 to the
first driver to reach a destination in Connecticut from Redondo Beach,
California, inspiring J.J. and others to go for the gold. With cameos from more
name performers than any dozen films together, (Frank Sinatra and the rat pack,
Telly Savalas, Susan Anton, Shirley MacLaine, Jackie Chan, Sid Caesar, Marilu
Henner, Catherine Bach, etc., etc., etc.), the movie becomes a pastiche and is
executed as though no rehearsals were required, or ever happened. A disparate
group of people racing to get a lot of money was first successfully exploited
in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a much better film, and with just as many
cameos, in fact. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
