Cannonball Run ping. What a great movie that was in the 70’s. I think they should try it again in 2007. Might as well since they are repeating all the movies anyway.

ROTFLMAO Me too! I looked all over to confirm the date of the article. Sometimes postings are reprints of old articles and I thought maybe was from the 1970’s. Too funny.

I liked The Gumball Rally, too. Though Cannonball Run was fun too.

It would never be as good. Although I'm sure Jackie Chan would be willing to do another one.

most of the people in it would probably come back for it, unfortunately my two favourites from the movies have passed on.

Gumball Rally was much better, IMHO. I love Franco's quote:

And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
Franco: What's-a behind me is not important.

I hope the police don’t resort to profiling...

The Sheik: My driving is rivaled only by the lightning bolts from the heavens!

Sheik’s Sister: So you still intend to enter the race with the infidel Americans?

The Sheik: My dear sister, the Cannonball shall fall to the forces of Islam! I swear it!
