Review of The Cannonball Run (1981) by Jonathan M — 30 Mar 2009

This is one of those 'classics that you simply have to watch' ... or so I was told. I finally got round to watching it and found the appeal was sadly lost on me. and i'm a guy who loves smokey & the bandit. oh well.

There are some good things, like how drunk dean martin was when he filmed it. and cool cars. and farrah fawcett's nipples.

And it manages to be racist, sexist, homophobic and anti-disability in about the first 10 minutes which is quite something.
