There's a word for a movie like this: cashing. Really, you'd have to be a huge fan on Burt Reynolds, if you'd actually think, that this movie is good or even remotely funny.The "story" starts with sheik, who want's to... Full review

Truly one of the greatest American films of the 20th Century. Superior comedic timing, wit, intelligence, chemistry-- a poignant social commentary on the conspicuous consumption of the mid-1980s. Hilarity only surpassed by its taut direction, superior pacing and production value, the... Full review

Then strap yourself in for the worse ride of your life! Burt Reynolds, sporting the worst toupee in the world, hams and sneers joyfully to the camera and the great cast is reduced to painful one-liners and juvenile situations that would... Full review

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
The Cannonball Run was a bad movie whose badness was, at times
Telly Savalas probably survives best; not coincidentally, he's one of the few allowed to play a straight character.
The waste of talent is astonishing.

CANNONBALL RUN II was made for one reason: The original picture made money.
Refusing to appear in a scene with your fellow actors is no worse than agreeing to appear in a scene that nobody has bothered to write.
You can't blame Sinatra.

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Normally, sequels take what was successful from the first film and give you much more, but Cannonball Run II mystifyingly strips away all of the good stuff, then injects some of the dumbest, most unfunny, and completely unnecessary side plots to fill up most of the running time. ... Full Review
