"It's not what you do it's how you do it, be anything you want to be"! Who remembers the amazing opening to the classic 1981 film "The Cannonball Run"?! The film was release on this date 39 years ago. Ray's song "Cannonball" plays during the famous Lamborghini chase that kicks off the film!

I was 10 years old when I saw this film. VCR's was so expensive back then. Mom would rent a very every 2 weeks and let me rent 4 movies. This was my favorite choice. Must have watched it 10 times before we had to return it. It was so cool to a 10 yr old. Super cool cars, good looking ladies and so funny. Great movies and still own it on vhs and dvd. Yes, I have a vcr. Maybe old school, but I'm still a classic kinda guy. Have my original atari and Nintendo to.

And based on a real event, the organiser of which (Brock Yates) features in the movie as....the event organiser. In reality, he actually DID drive a Dodge Van made to look like an ambulance, along with his wife in the back as the patient for when they got pulled over by the cops (which actually happened). They were a DNF though sadly, arriving at the finishing point on a flat bed truck having suffered a transmission failure (also referenced in the movie).

Mid engining the Corvette took away the magic of it, it became an American Ferarri rip off. A massive uncultured V8 in the front, rear wheel drive with vey few driver aids like traction control attached and made of fibreglass made it light. So with the older corvettes it really was a case of FLOOR THE GAS AND HANG ON TO YOUR ASS.

Watched this as a child in the 80's. My dream car is that Countache. Six carbs on a V12, amazing machine. I am stuck with an F-150 and a BMW for now, but one day I will own one, and I have these movies to thank for this insane desire...

The cars now are so much more powerful. The Countach had about 450 HP, very good for a production car in the 80's. Now the Lambos all push 800+ HP. But I still love the Countach. I believe Lambo revived the Countach recently.

This movie just gave off the vibe that the actors were not doing it for money, but for fun as well. That makes this movie a classic. Coming up with Roger Moore as a wealthy businessman who thinks he is James Bond, with a different girl next to him in every scene, driving a tricked out Aston is pure genious, as is the fact that they were all making fun of each other with blatant but funny namecalling like "Chocolate Monk" or "Goodyear Blimp" Todays "stars" are always in it for the money, and sexist or rude jokes (even made completely tongue in cheek, without any vile meanings) are a big nono nowadays.

No way could we ever do this now! HollyWOKE no longer has any of the talent required to make such a movie! It's a fact that HollyWOKE has no talent whatsoever left in any way, shape or form! All we can do is sit back and watch it over and over and over again and wonder just where we went wrong.

I was once late to the airport and was seriously speeding to get there on time, i was then i was overtaken by like 20+ Countach's and Diablo's which sounded amazing, then to top it all a XJ220 came past at i am guessing somewhere over 170mph+ as i was doing over a 100mph and it came past like i was standing still. They were on some car cruise and were using their cars as they were meant to be used :). That V12 lambo noise always gives me chills such a iconic engine.

The Countach cannot be a hybrid, that would turn it into a fast Toyota Prius. A Countach has to be a road burner and only an internal combustion engine could do it, The Countach, forget the environment. You ain't here long you may as well have some fun whilst you are.

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.

When they land and Victor goes in for beer, JJ turns to the camera and says.... "We could get a black Trans Am......nah, that's been done" Total smokey and the bandit reference since Hal Needham directed that movie too.
