Jack Elam as the "Doc" was an utterly inspired choice of casting. He was hysterical, especially for a guy who mostly played "the bad guy" in Westerns. And then there was "The Aurora Encounter" where he played a gentle role and struck up a friendship with the young star, a progeria sufferer.

I miss the 80's!!!! wish this could be done with the right group of people today. would be a fun movie. Maybe bring back those who are still alive and have some play off as the kids of those who passed. Plus Jackie Chan can come back too. LOL he never ages.

All of them are fun and entertaining films. Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham made a great team.

Bobby Berosini's credit was misspelled. He got in big trouble a few years after doing this movie. For years, he had a successful primate act in Vegas but someone filmed him beating his apes backstage and his act was shut down and his animals taken away from him. I don't know if he had anything to do with the Clint Eastwood monkey movies, but one of the orangutans that played Clyde was beaten to death with a lead pipe by his trainer as punishment for stealing doughnuts from the craft service table.

I worked at a movie theatre during the release of both the first and second Cannonball film. At the time, Reynolds was still a fairly reliable draw, but many fans were beginning to tire of his show-off phase. Where Cannonball I generally pleased fans with low expectations, audiences were less friendly to II, which was just a re-tread of the original, and a very sloppy re-tread at that. Remember, Smokey 3 was only about 9 months earlier, and many fans were quite upset to have to wait 90 minutes to just see a 90 second cameo of Burt. (And the disappointing Stroker Ace was released just a month before that!) Reynolds fame had largely come from his fast-car-driving schtick, from White Lightning (the first of two "Gator" films) and W.W. & the Dixie Dance Kings to Smokey & the Bandit and Hooper. (Tip to filmmakers: After shooting the greatest "bar fight" captured on film featuring virtually every great stuntman working in Hollywood in scene about a bar fight featuring virtually every great stuntman, as was achieved in Hooper, it may be advisable to retire bar fights in your movies, unless you attempt to out-do Hooper.) By the time we got to Cannonball, though, Reynolds was the show-off fast car driver he had become so loved for. In the first film, he's a passenger in an emergency ambulance, and in the second film he's a uniformed general in the back seat of a military staff car. Jamie Pharr's scenes are tedious, as if just him acting loudly and with an Arab accent was funny enough all by itself so as to not require a script. Dom's Captain Chaos routine wasn't that good the first time around, and it didn't improve with age here. And dang it, it's just not a "Burt Reynold's move". He's not in the film that much, and when he is, he doesn't really do anything. And that's the problem with this film as a whole. Almost any character - including Reynold's - could be removed from the movie, and it wouldn't change the outcome, and we'd hardly, if at all, notice. The characters fill a catalogue, but nothing more. Ultimately, this film looks as if its cast and crew were just there to get paycheck for partying with old friends. It's sloppy filmmaking that insults its audience.
