Part of a Burt Renyolds double feature with Deliverance.
Deliverance wasn't as crazy as I expected it to be. Cannonball Run though...  Cannonball Plane One of the nuttiest movies I've ever seen in my life. I thought I had seen it years ago, apparently I was wrong. I definitely would have remembered this scene.

You should watch The Gumball Rally, it will have you LAF. Watch it at home, you don’t want to drive right after seeing the movie. The movie had everything from an Italian race car driver to a mad Polish motorcyclist. The fake cops will make you laugh.

And that movie was my introduction to Lamborghini. That Countach was more like a space ship than a car to this youngster, when we saw it in the theaters.
What a fun time that was. Not sure why everyone is so dam stuck up anymore and cant make movies like this....well besides lawyers and liberals. |

I was sure that I saw that movie when I was a kid because my best friend at the time had a real obsession with Lamborghini, especially the Countach. Doug Demuro did a detailed review of the Countach. It was a real, "you should never meet your heroes" moment for me.   Here's Why the Lamborghini Countach is Worth $300,000 |

The Cannonball Run has a great history. The group was made up of Hollywood stuntmen and guys in the car racing community. They were a group that came together in real life and would race across the country from coast to coast and they kept it quiet for years. Brock Yates was behind most of these movies and wrote the screenplay for Cannonball. He was a very likeable guy and was a writer for many car magazines and was in the NASCAR crowd. He and Hal Needham got their friends together to make that movie as well as the Smokey and the Bandit movies.
Brock Yates lived in Wyoming, New York on a farm that used to be for dairy. His barn was full of various racing cars and he and his wife ran a small bar called The Cannonball with the movie memorabilia in it and the wife ran a store that sold Christmas items all year round in an old Rexall drug store. The town of Wyoming is real tiny and about an hour outside of Buffalo, NY. Yates would have parties near his home for all the people involved in the movies and they would invite locals over as well. He was one of the nicest guys in the business and you can see him and his wife sitting at the table when the drivers run up at the beginning to punch the time clock. All of these guys were old school laid back Hollywood stuntmen and you see how much fun they had together in the movies and on talk show reruns like on the Johnny Carson Show. Farrah was on point.  |

Quote HistoryI was the GM of the motel in Decatur where they filmed much of the movie. The lobby building and that pool are now gone. While most of the big stars stayed in downtown Atlanta or rented homes Elam stayed at the hotel with his family along with most of the crew. The pool had to be drained and washed following that scene. Also, they were filming at the front one evening and had a crane set up with a large light pyramid. It had been raining alot and one outrigger had been put in the soft grass. The crane overturned and crushed and burned a Lamborghini that belonged to a man in Atlanta. Dom DeLuise used to come into my office daily and just sit and talk to get away from the "crazyness" as he called it. He was very down home and just as funny in person as he was on the screen. The catering company used the kitchen at the motel to do much of the cooking and the pastry chef had made trays of pastry one day when Dom DeLuise came in joking around and began throwing the pastry around. The chef was not happy. Never once did I see Dean Martin or Sammy Davis, Jr. drunk and both were very nice and would talk with anyone when they were not needed for filming. Neither hid in trailers or rooms but stayed around the motel lobby and filming area. I have many stories from that movie. It was a fun time. |

Quote HistoryBAH! The Gumball Rally was a cheap rip off of Cannonball run. Cannonball Run was based on Brock Yates screen play about the actual Cannonball Baker coast to coast race. Brock also ran in that race several times and won the first one with racing legend Dan Gurney. |
