Cannonball

The Car Crash Cult Classic From The Director Of EATING RAOUL And DEATH RACE 2000
Buckle your seatbelt for The Trans-America Grand Prix, the infamous cross-country road race from Los Angeles to New York City. David Carradine of KILL BILL stars as Coy Cannonball Buckman, an ex-con and fallen stock car champ who puts pedal to the metal for one last shot at glory. But competition on the open road is a killer and Cannonball is the target!

Veronica Hamel (HILL STREET BLUES), Bill McKinney (DELIVERANCE), Gerrit Graham (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE), Mary Woronov (ROCK N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL), Robert Carradine (REVENGE OF THE NERDS) and Dick Miller (GREMLINS) co-star in this high-speed demolition derby directed by Paul Bartel, co-written by Don Simpson (controversial producer of BAD BOYS and THE ROCK) and featuring wild cameo appearances by Bartel, Simpson, Sylvester Stallone, Martin Scorsese, Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Judy Canova and more.

OLD SCHOOL! Ha! what a fun movie. The late David Carradine really delivers in this mash up car race / vendetta movie! The old cars are seriously kick-ass, and the music is damn near old style porno funk. This genre topping flick has an absolutely incredible cast, and the characters of the different people racing across country are colorful and fun. There is a mega wreck on a freeway that had me rolling as cars seemed to crash into the front and middle of it as well as the back, where youd expect pile ups to build. ALSO of note is that in the day and age when this movie was shot, leading men who get the girls walk around shirtless in unzipped faded pink hoodies with bright red bandanas tied around their necks. Try that one today i dare you! If you like great vintage cars like souped up Trans-Ams and Chargers, and pimped Mustangs then you will like this movie just based on the cars! RIP Mr. Carradine, thank you for all the movies, and great stories you have shared with us through the years of your on screen carreer.
