Alec: So, Vic. What do you think of my idea of writing down the license numbers now?
Vic DeRubis: Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's a great idea! How many times you gotta bring it up?
[on phone]
Vic DeRubis: Uh, the license is as follows: R-I-C-H... Uh, I think that spells "Rich"... Kids... with a "k"... for "kids".

I loved it
21 April 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

It is good clean fun in the spirit of the Cannonball. It may not have the same big names as cannonball I & II but it was good fun. It had a LOT of bad acting skits that were tongue-in-cheek. If you took it seriously it was not a work of art but if you love the Cannonballs I&II you will be entertained by Speed Zone. John Candy is awesome. Jamie Farr is the biggest holdover from I&II. Lots of hokey scenes and lots of great chase scenes. This movie is for the type of person who enjoys Action/comedy. If you are looking for Drama or Romance you are not going to enjoy this movie.

My best suggestion is watch I & II then watch speed zone(III).
