The Sheik who competed at the last Cannonball Run, is berated by his father for not winning it. So he tells him to go and win. Problem is that there is no Cannonball Run. So his father tells him to make one of his own. He puts up a million dollars as the prize. So former Cannonballers J.J. and his buddy Vince join, as does Blake and Fenderbaum and some other characters.

Trivia
The car used by Jackie Chan in this movie is a Mitsubishi Starion, sold in the United States under that name, but more commonly known as a Conquest, sold by Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler dealerships. With only trivial exceptions, the ones sold in domestic dealerships differed from the Starion in name only. Within the last few years, the car Chan used in the movie was salvaged and restored by a member of StarQuestClub, the national owner's club for Starions and Conquests, and is now roadworthy again.

At the roadside fruit stand, Arnold's racing outfit has a few watermelon stains on it even before Jackie breaks the melon, but his outfit is perfectly clean when he drags Jackie away at the end of the scene. See more »Quotes
