Cannonball Run 2 is pretty decent as far as sequels go and in my opinion its at least better than Smoky And The Bandit 2. By this time Burt Reynolds and director Hal Needham have done this good ole' boy car racing comedy to death. Like the original film there is a huge star studded cast and a lot of the original cast returns here as well. Burt and Dom still have great chemistry and continue to let the good times roll. The Rat Pack returns as well with Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin returning bringing their good buddy Frank Sinatra as well to join the party. Jackie Chan returns and does a couple of scenes showcasing his kung fu skills and Daisey Duke is some serious southern eyecandy. However, eventually the film goes too over the top and degenerates into sillyness and absurdity. Even with that being said, Cannonball Run 2 still delivers for gonzo entertainment and is still quite watchable even if this is not the best movie in the world.
