Bloody marvellous !!!

Give me more Captain Chaos, the only gripe I have is the out-takes at the end should have been included in a Bonus section, but besides that it was WONDERFUL.

Give me Canonball Run II

Rated - 5 starsFastastic array of stars & cars

John Pemberton from Thatcham, Berkshire , 13/04/2007

If you love classic cars...then you will love this film. I first fell in love with the Lamborghini Countash after watching this film...some 15 years ago...and the bug still has not left. There is also a Ferrari 308GTB and many more. The best part of the film is the starting sequence, which lasts for about 7 minutes, and includes the finest cop & Lambo chase ever! The main film is funny and jam-packed with tongue in cheak & slapstick humor from some of the finest actors of their day: Burt Reynolds, Sammy Davies Jnr, Roger Moore...much better than the sequel!

Several members of the family hadn't seen it before, and although it is a bit dated, they laughed til they cried!
