The notorious Cannonball Race across America is due to be held again, though the tough (and chihuahua holding) Police Chief (Peter Boyle) is determined to stop it and arrests half of the drivers. The race goes ahead with a new crop of stereotypes... i mean drivers. The driving antics continue across America with the police in hot pursuit, and nothing you haven't seen before with a much better cast.
This isn't that good a film, its watchable and enjoyable enough but your attention will soon waver after about the 6th smashed up police car.
The main cast is a little unknown compared to the real Cannonball Run films apart from John Candy though the film does have some great cameos including Lee Van Cleef (in one of his last films) and Brooke Shields. James Farr as The Sheik is really the only character from the earlier/real films in the series.
