    • Trivia
      Frank Sinatra's cameo was his final acting role in a theatrical movie, though he would make one final appearance in the television movie Young at Heart (1995). He would guest star on an episode of Magnum, P.I. as well as Who's the Boss, which were his final acting roles.
    • Goofs
      When Blake and Fenderbaum try to run the military car off the road, the overhead shot of the accident shows them being cut off by a red/gray Dodge Daytona, not the solid red Corvette they were driving.

    The worst movie of the 80's?
    The first Cannonball Run was enjoyable enough, but this stinks so badly that you can smell it coming from a considerable distance.

    Shoddy, disjointed & cheap-looking, this would fail to entertain a dimwit in a coma. Simply keep it on a loop on daytime TV and just watch the unemployment level drop.

    Burt Reynolds must have known that this signalled the beginning of his cinematic hibernation period, whereas Sammy & Wino just go through the motions, trying to make the best of a script that was almost certainly ghost-written by one of the stars (the hairy, orange one)

    Jackie Chan gets screwed-over again with another choppy fight scene set on sand (he always complains that it's impossible to 'take off' on the stuff), and consequently is much slower. Or is it just the case that they didn't under-crank the camera?

    What can you say about a movie that has hardly any form, no pacing or sense of rhythm/humour? The climax of the movie was even forsaken in favor of a cheap laugh.

    To perfectly illustrate the idiocy of the whole project, at one point the prize money of the Cannonball Run is raised from $1million to $2million which causes one dumb broad to exclaim "how many zeros is in that?"

    More fun can be had from repeatedly banging a tea-tray on your head...
