Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Tweekums When bored executive Michael Bannon utters the word 'Gumball' various people across the United States drop whatever they are doing and head for New York City. They are all going to take part in the highly unofficial and highly illegal Gumball Rally; a race from New York to Long Beach, California. With the exception of one man on a motorcycle each team is made up of two drivers in a car; mostly high performance sports cars but also a van, a Rolls Royce and a fake police car; the only rule to the race is that there are no rules! Not everybody is there to enjoy the event; Lt. Roscoe, a California policeman, is determined to arrest as many of the drivers as he can... he just has to catch them first. Not all of the competitors will make it to California; in fact some of them won't get out of New York and those that do make it will have to go through various scrapes involving the police, other competitors, a motorcycle gang and even a flock of butterflies! This film isn't chock full of A-list actors, the only ones I recognised were Gary Busey and Raul Julia, however everybody performed well and because of the lack of big names it was hard to guess who would get to the end and who would drop out near the start. The race itself had plenty of hilarious incidents and as the drivers approached the end it actually got fairly tense as the viewer wills their personal favourite to win; my personal favourite was Lapchick the Mad Hungarian motorcyclist... he was hilarious! Filmed long before CGI the stunts are all real and for the most part performed by the actors making it seem far more real than more modern films where the director would no doubt give in to the temptation of adding lots of CGI explosions and crashes! The premise of an unofficial race had been done before and has been done again since but this is one of the best examples of the genre and because it contains no offensive material it can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

MartianOctocretr5 Gumball Rally is an unauthorized race between a bunch of rich folks with high performance cars that periodically issue each other spontaneous race challenges through the private invitation code, "Gumball!"The race starts in the New York City auto shop garage of one of the competitors, as the racers embark on a wild trek west to Long Beach, CA, using any route they wish. An obsessed New York cop somehow knows about these races, and provides an obstacle to escape (but usually he ends up being the victim of practical jokes). No money is involved in winning, just pride and the trophy: a gum ball machine.The movie is action packed with the mindless fun you would expect from this premise. With a variety of screwball characters encountering wild situations as they tear down the road at intense speeds, the action is continuous. Occasional bizarre mishaps eliminate a few cars from the running, and each of these events are highlights in the story. There are ten unique teams, including the defending champion (Michael Sarrazin), a wild Italian "ringer" (Raul Julia), two fake cops, two beautiful women, a maniacal motorcyclist, and several others.The only fault was the absolutely unnecessary subplot of some stupid guy driving an expensive car across the country for his rich boss. The story is completely irrelevant, and makes no sense as he's driving at low speeds (as directed by the car owner) yet maintains the same progress across the continent as the racers. When I run the movie, I fast forward through the scenes of this story--it really does detract from the fun of the race story.That portion of the movie notwithstanding, this movie is an example of popcorn entertainment. No cerebral activity required, just have a good time watching the silliness.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Before there was "The Cannonball Run" there's "The Gumball Rally". This movie here was a lot of fun, it was full of gags and it gives the meaning of the word "coast to coast". There are like 7 teams racing from New York to California, and the police will do anything to put an end to the race. I liked the part when the team member remove the lugnuts on one of the police cars. So when they try to pull out, it just comes up short of a bust. I also liked the part where Raul Juiia's character plays that cruel gun joke on the victims which the gun looks real it's actually a water pistol. At first it wasn't funny, when the water comes out, that's when everyone starts laughing. The real fun before the race was when he races the toy care all over the woman's body, to me it's rather sexual to me and pleasing to my eyes. In the middle, when the guy got pulled over by the guys lead by Julia, he ripped off the steering wheel of the convertible, removes the guys shades and left him using the bathroom in his car. Now that's really funny! This movie was really funny and highly recommendable, and it's also one of Raul Julia's finest works as well. Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars!

Jim_Gillespie This is a film about driving fast cars, fast. There's enough plot to keep your interest, but not so much that it gets in the way of the action.The tone of the film isn't exactly tongue in cheek, but there's enough humour to be entertaining without really turning it into a comedy.One of my favourite things about this film is the soundtrack, which lets the music of the engines set the mood. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that one scene features a Ferrari Daytona being driven full-throttle through the deserted streets of New York City, with the wail of the engine reverberating from the skyscrapers.The standard of acting is high; the stars for me (apart from the cars) are Raul Julia and Gary Busey as two of the more flamboyant characters. And let us not forget Lapchik, the Mad Hungarian. Well, you don't get normal people participating in endurance events on 350cc two-stroke motorcycles!
