4.0 out of 5 stars Release it on DVD already!, June 13, 2006

This review is from: Speed Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Not a great movie, but as far as this type of movie goes, it's pretty good. I am a Burt Reynolds fan. I own a "Bandit" Trans Am, okay. Speed Zone, though not as loaded with major star power as the first two Cannonball movies, is the best of these, better than the enjoyable Cannonball Run and miles better than the Cannonball Run II. I have not seen all of The Gumball Rally yet so I cannot compare. Speed Zone isn't plagued with all the obviously sped up footage and cheesy music as the first two. Also, it was filmed much better and actually has a large dose of actual cool driving. It really makes the first two look pretty old. They actually do a lot with the Countach and other cars and shoot it well. To be fair, a stunt (kit) car was used for the heavier Lamborghini stunts whereas the Cannonball movies just used a real one, though they did no where near the cool stuff.
Anyway it's got lots of comedy, lots of cars, good stunts, cool driving, more modern music, pretty girls, and is overall a more polished and better show. I can hardly see why fans of this type show would not like this last installment.
This needs to be released on DVD. I for one would buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A bunch of C-list actors doing a good thing, January 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Speed Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie wasn't supposed to be good. It was a continuation of the the popular Cannonball Run series that people didn't want to die. So let's put John Candy, Eugene Levy, and the amazingly funny in this movie Peter Boyle with a bunch of C-list actors and actresses. Throw in some cameos like Brooke Shields, Carl Lewis, Michael Spinks, Richard Petty, etc. and you have an entertaining cross country race in exotic cars and a some funny moments. Some cute sub plots like the sexual tension of the reporters and the possible whacking of the Brit Jag driver add to the excitement. Its not a movie you have to think about. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a cross country race.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why is this so underrated and put down?????, April 1, 2004

This review is from: Speed Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I dont understand why this movie gets bad reveiws? I think its a great film! Just because the only charactor from the previous 2 Cannonball movies (Jamie Farr) The Sheik makes a breif appearence, its no reason to down this great fun comedy! Like its previous 2 counterparts, its filled with a great cast... John Candy, Whats his name Father from American Pie, That blonde chick, the guy from Prokys, Smothers Brothers, Bo Duke, A whole heap more! Even tho i cant remember there names, dosent mean there not worth watching!

Sure there some over the top antics and stunts. But didnt the last two have that aswell?

This is a great movie IMo and I cant wait for it to finally be put on DVD...hopefully
