Ray Stevens - "The Cannonball Run Opening"

@@Exl_Kaldra you will likely never see a countach broken down on the side of the road because unlike most people with modern cars the owners actually care for the vehicle making sure nothing breaks, if anything old vehicles from the 70s and 80s are more durable than modern cars.

That's the thing working with actors who have already made it. As they are not scared to take a risk on playing a part in a novie which may be panned by critics. If you are an up and coming actor one bad movie can end your career, if you already have made millions you just don't have to care if the movie bombs. It's not that Dean Martin, Burt, Roger and the rest were needing the money. The same thing goes for Clint Eastwood, the 2 movies he made with the ape as his companion were slaughtered by critics,, but Clint and his co stars were in a position that they could take a risk and doing a movie just for fun.

Ray Steven's is awesome like Ray Stevens there will never be another cast of stars able to pull off what they did here with cannonball..

Remember my dad renting this on VHS and we were just blown away.

[@UnafraidmassGaming]

Im happy that my dad showed my this movie the Lamborghini countach has been a childhood favorite of mine and i got a picture next to one in honor of my dad and this film i even bought the lego set! 😀🤟

What an opening scene! I was probably 9 years old when I saw this in the 80's, in the U.K. The car was just from another planet and the ladies blew my mind and all backed with an amazing song. Who knew a few decades later I'd have driven hot cars and quick bikes on the very roads in this video. Still haven't managed to do them in a black Lambo. That front spoiler is just the coolest. Never say never, so they say.

[@bedlamite42]

Front spoiler didn't help aero, it slowed the car down and didn't add downforce. It was only there to meet bumper height regulations for the US.

[@michaelross7153]

Sensible Me - Regulations of bumper height, sounds reasonable. Proper Me - It's a bad arse Lambo with two hot chicks, tearing up an Interstate highway. Literally my teenage dream. I've rode high powered motorbikes on that very road. Still waiting for that Lambo moment X It's coming.......

@@michaelross7153 You want this Lambo. I might also... But there's a Viper I'm chasing. Good luck to your endeavours.

[@xmo552]

@@bedlamite42 I'm *pretty sure* the front spoiler was never installed on any real road car, it was just for the movie.

[@Tsotha]

quite a few car importers in the late 1970's installed them on Countaches in order to get them to meet US safety regulations, before Lamborghini themselves started putting bigger bumpers on the US export versions - but a lot of owners removed the factory made giant bumpers because they looked tacky and awkward as hell@@xmo552

I was 15 years old. Still remember the theater lights dimming and this opening having everyone stunned. So Cool...

[@séamus_an_aithriseoir]

Love Ray Stevens music

[@execatty]

12 years old in 80.. Didn't get much better... Until history of the world, then the 80s blew up.. We had it sooo damn great

[@triple6758]

Marketing power move by Lamborghini. Bravo.

[@MsUltrafox]

So many stars in one fun-filled movie. I love this movie.

[@Wulf_Sternhammer]

That V12 is a musical instrument in it's own right!

[@mr.slim6188]

All time favorite movie intro. The sound of that Lambo V12 screaming through 12 exhaust tips is just sexy. This movie is what made me fall in love with the Countach

[@rogercotton5134]

I don't remember how many times I watched this movie at the theaters and on TV in the 80s.

[@SkiThePlains]

Double-clutching on the upshifts, love it!

[@JaegerZ3]

Still remember mid-80s, me and my friends, 8yo, in front of a VHS, looking at something we only had on our walls and trading cards, speed and sound like nothing we had ever seen or heard before.

[@darrenwilliams5438]

Gave away my copy of this dvd but couldn't be without this film in my collection so bought another copy,my all time favourite film just because its pure fun,no egos,just hollywood stars having a blast,hope they never attempt a remake

[@leroyluna77]

Actually, in a way they have. A movie called "Speed Zone" came out in the early 90's. I read back then that it was a "loose" remake. It was called The Cannonball Run III" in other countries. Only the the actor who plays the Shiek is in the movie, but for a short scene only.

[@andynguyen2138]

BEST INTRO EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@neilusdin2389]

1979 Lamborghini Countach had one of the most gorgeous engine roars ever,

[@1975Bristol]

One of the best film intro I've seen. V12 Lamborghini engine original sound Is a sinfony

[@Tommyblueeyes]

"Symphony" and I'm sorry to break it too you, the sound was overdubbed using a Ferrari Boxer engine.....
