GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Adam Peters (26%) Yet another cannonball run sequel aired on a lousy film channel with ad breaks every two and a half minutes. So I think I'll pass on this one thank you very much. But hang on. It stars the great late John Candy? I'm in. That's how this played out for me and probably many other people who've sat through this lame time passing turkey. So without Mr Candy I won't have watched this. But besides that aspect, what else is there? Well not a lot besides Eugene Levy playing a real jerk in a very small role, some limp comedy, some exotic cars getting mistreated, a few cameos, and Donna Dixon doing her best Marilyn Monroe impression. If you like John Candy as much as I do then you might want to give this a look, but there's nothing really to see here.
Lee Eisenberg I read that "Speed Zone!" is a semi-addition to the "Cannonball Run" movies; I don't know those at all, so I just have to take the movie at face value. It's basically another flick in the wacky race genre - others include "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "The Gumball Rally" - a litany of silliness for silliness's sake. I didn't derive any hidden meaning or anything (even "IAMMMMW" was all about greed). Totally pointless, I guess. Sort of an excuse to have a bunch of stars. There were some funny scenes, but not enough to merit any real recognition. The cast members have all done better than this. Starring John Candy, Donna Dixon, Peter Boyle, Shari Belafonte, Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers and Brooke Shields.
jmyeds It is good clean fun in the spirit of the Cannonball. It may not have the same big names as cannonball I & II but it was good fun. It had a LOT of bad acting skits that were tongue-in-cheek. If you took it seriously it was not a work of art but if you love the Cannonballs I&II you will be entertained by Speed Zone. John Candy is awesome. Jamie Farr is the biggest holdover from I&II. Lots of hokey scenes and lots of great chase scenes. This movie is for the type of person who enjoys Action/comedy. If you are looking for Drama or Romance you are not going to enjoy this movie. My best suggestion is watch I & II then watch speed zone(III).
cbrown-3 Great movie not as good as the second one but man it was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing, joe flarehty's hair, trucker going after john candy, and the plane seen. they all work. They could have had more of Jamie Farr. It also would have been nice if Burt Reynolds was in it. Overall i give it 10 out of 10 stars.
