Ray Stevens - "The Cannonball Run Opening" 

Whoever was behind the wheel of the Lamborghini, surely did a stellar job...

There is no probably about this 😳

“BALL!”

Probably!? Lol

@@AbrahamLechLacha and and and people pop ppppppppppppp

Oh Yes

yep!

yeah buddy

Imagine it's a Tesla🤣🤦‍♂️

I am 👍

Same but in early 90s

YOU TOO?!?! :D Daaamn nice! The rest in my room was Samantha Foxx... ;)

@@bleppebleppsson1169 No Farrah?

They do not make them like this anymore! Too bad!

According to Burt Reynolds in an interview about the movie. He said everyone was just having fun the entire time during filming.

It will stand the test of time because of the lunatics (and I use this in the BEST use of the term) that it was based on. There are so many scenes that actually happened.

@@curtishalcomb3249 yes you can tell from the long bloopers display that everyone was having a good time and getting along well.

2:16 to 2:23 is rhe only time the Lamborghini engine sound is used. The rest is a Ferrari

@@markperry2827 That's a myth. I seent an interview with Hal Needham some years back and he addressed that rumor and said it was all the Lambo but it had 12 damn exhaust pipes on it.

Take it !

So choose..a Tesla or a Lamborghini....I know what I would take!

@@brettpalfrey4665 Tesla 🤮🤮 Lamborghini👍😅

*Hands you a Coors*

@@marcothommen2484 I'll take that even at 5:35am my time haha! Cheers :D

Same here!

I was 10 years old when I saw this film. VCR's was so expensive back then. Mom would rent a very every 2 weeks and let me rent 4 movies. This was my favorite choice. Must have watched it 10 times before we had to return it. It was so cool to a 10 yr old. Super cool cars, good looking ladies and so funny. Great movies and still own it on vhs and dvd. Yes, I have a vcr. Maybe old school, but I'm still a classic kinda guy. Have my original atari and Nintendo to.

You don't watch many movies I see

And based on a real event, the organiser of which (Brock Yates) features in the movie as....the event organiser. In reality, he actually DID drive a Dodge Van made to look like an ambulance, along with his wife in the back as the patient for when they got pulled over by the cops (which actually happened). They were a DNF though sadly, arriving at the finishing point on a flat bed truck having suffered a transmission failure (also referenced in the movie).

When movies were entertainment. Unlike modern agenda driven trash.

Can't make a movie like this nowadays.

fake it ..!

One of the best openings but one of the best movies. You will never see an all star cast Luke this one.

@@allentinari5809 They are pretty common. Mars Attacks. Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Avengers Endgame.

I would have to include "Him" in that.😂

I think you may mean the road of the engine. A Lamborghini is not a car that purrs. You are meant hear it and foot to the floor you would from a mile away

I would dare gamble, that this Lambo is the loudest internal combstion engine car in movie history

Mellow Yellow SUN ☀️ Always.

X2

Wythe Trumpet I old(er) too..I know what you mean !

Same here I was 12..👍 😊

Went passed us faster ten they were passing them bears

Oh man, the same here!! I´ve seen the movie a week ago (on DVD) an my girlfriend (12 years younger) even did'nt know it!! In the first half i thought the same as you. ^^ Kind regards from Germany! ;)

Jackie Chan has died several times on Facebook

Sadly, yes.

@@videoshomepage Ya, but like Chuck Norris he keeps coming back.

Chuck Norris can't die, because death is too scared after he had a near-chuck-norris experience

Chuck Norris tried to kick the Earth out of orbit once, but Chan was on the other side and kicked it back.

Same!

Thats right

Cannonball run 2 was stacked even more!!

Sure dont

They would make something else like it would be a miracle to see a movie like that on the big screen with white people black people and brown people and red skin people who would like to be in a all-star cast

They don’t make movies that are pure fun anymore.

Guess your post is for the hearing impaired.

Excuse me! Don't be a Butthead!

and then the car they've been chasing passes them. classic comedy!

Could you post more lines from the video I just watched? Thanks!

@@geraldfrost4710 Guess your post is for the seeing impaired. Guess you didn't think that one out, huh?

Yes indeed

A Lamborghini Countach is the best looking car ever made.

The Countach was really original. But 365 GT4 BB was a beautiful piece of art too.

Still looks like an 80's hot wheel.

Eve n that is questionable. I would like to bet that after the customisation it would nearly top the 200mph. An uncustomised early 80's Countach could easily top the 170mph, changing the pipes would up the power and thats without any engine mods

@@philwatson6659HR rated tires are only good up to 178 MPH. If you want to go faster then that, you need R rated tires, and they are 10x the price and last 1/3 as long.

@@VroodenTheGreat When you can afford a car like that cost, is not a concern, neither is how long the tires will last. Out in AZ and TX, its easy to run 200mph+ speeds with no traffic at all.

Unfortunately the more I’ve watched this and recognize the locations, the more I realize the continuity errors and horrible editing. They literally used the same shot twice from a different camera angle, watch for the RV that shows up twice in the exact same spot.

You should see it out there now.

I loved the anarchist vibe of it.

Yup.😊

First movie I remember was gumball rally then canonball run ,I prefer canon first then gumball

Watched it at the movies and if you were smart you stayed and watched the outtakes at the very end.

That's a bold statement, considering it had "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Escape from New York" and "The Road Warrior" to compete against.... lol

He's got a few mint songs u forget classy muso and 84 hard to believe. Getting old really suxs who would have said or thought at the time no way flawless gosh scary yikes the 80s are coming half way thru it's 40s u feel it now

Yup… ROFL

As said elsewhere only a Lambo sounds like a Lambo

The Lambo V12 the best sounding European, Outright best sound a floorboarded Chevrolet 350 V8 as found in the 'Vette ZR1 another automotive legend

Mid engining the Corvette took away the magic of it, it became an American Ferarri rip off. A massive uncultured V8 in the front, rear wheel drive with vey few driver aids like traction control attached and made of fibreglass made it light. So with the older corvettes it really was a case of FLOOR THE GAS AND HANG ON TO YOUR ASS.

Of course, that’s not actually the sound of the Lambo’s engine, but a Ferrari 365 from 1972! The Lambo didn’t have the deep growl they wanted, so they dubbed it.

The owner of the actual car told that it is all Lambo sound.. they did dub it some places but with its own sound from 12 straight pipes. You cannot record the engine sound from a helikopter, so thats why they had to do i like that in the scenes from the distance.

This scene is really the only one worth watching in the movie imo. These movies were not what they should have been imo. Would have been so much better if most of the racers had exotic cars.

We’ll never have the stars we had back then

No one would let you make this today or convoy or smokey and the bandit

netflix: hold my beer also netflix: oh crap why are we losing subscriptions we used only the finest black actors and we got rid of the racist black lamborghini

This movie just gave off the vibe that the actors were not doing it for money, but for fun as well. That makes this movie a classic. Coming up with Roger Moore as a wealthy businessman who thinks he is James Bond, with a different girl next to him in every scene, driving a tricked out Aston is pure genious, as is the fact that they were all making fun of each other with blatant but funny namecalling like "Chocolate Monk" or "Goodyear Blimp" Todays "stars" are always in it for the money, and sexist or rude jokes (even made completely tongue in cheek, without any vile meanings) are a big nono nowadays.

No way could we ever do this now! HollyWOKE no longer has any of the talent required to make such a movie! It's a fact that HollyWOKE has no talent whatsoever left in any way, shape or form! All we can do is sit back and watch it over and over and over again and wonder just where we went wrong.

Actually, in a way they have. A movie called "Speed Zone" came out in the early 90's. I read back then that it was a "loose" remake. It was called The Cannonball Run III" in other countries. Only the the actor who plays the Shiek is in the movie, but for a short scene only.

Then he needs an epic late 70s/80s must-see list! Escape From New York, The Princess Bride, Stripes, Animal House, Krull, Conan The Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer, Final Countdown, Big Trouble In Little China, The Breakfast Club, The Outsiders, Red Dawn, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Back To The Future, Beverly Hills Cop, The Golden Child, Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Gremlins, Ladyhawke, Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Airplane...hell, there are probably others I forgot or left off!

(Definitely add Smokey and the Bandit to that list! And Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome!)

​@@jerseycaptSo I am not the last one left that loves loud,proud pointless lighthearted entertainment, I f you like this type have a look at the movies of Hal Needham

Same here

@@eligebrown8998 I don't know why I just always assumed it was Mel Tillis

that Lambo was toying with those cops, because that Lambo was specifically built for speed and to haul ass

it was part movie magic as they sped up the film for that effect, In reality a top end 150 mph T/A against a top end 200 Mph Lambo? yea no match at all LOL. I got to drive one when I was 15, my uncle ran an auction in Florida and I got to drive it about 100 feet LOL but I still got to drive it!!! its like sitting in a bathtub and just as hard to get out of

@@brianjosey8113 i gather they're hard to get out of. I was at the lights next to a new lambo and they can take off BETTER than that. It's on my channel about 18 months ago. They're so fast at take off you can barely believe it

@@brianjosey8113.... Top speed of a Lambo is 160. It has Major aerodynamic flaws. It looks like it could go really fast, but it can't .

👍

Same, had no idea he sang it despite having watched the movies fanatically as a kid and listening to Ray Stevens for years.

You know? I never thought about it, but I think you’re right! For me, anyway…. I was 9-10 years when this hit theaters. I was still very much into Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars at the time and I remember being obsessed with finding one that looked like this as I don’t think I’d ever seen one before. Sadly, I never got a real Lamborghini, but I did marry a girl named Adrienne.😆🤣

@@allthingsnerd.4484 I was only a couple of years older than you. Once Cannonball Run was released you seen Lamborghini toy cars and posters everywhere. They had a hard time importing the Lamborghini for the movie.

Naaaw ya won’t. Not unless Trump gets back in.

@@Jwdude123 Thanks, you brought me out of dreamland...

OMG it's Countach, please leave now.

Probably best left as a fantasy - I hear the quality control makes 1st gen Tesla's look like mechanic-driven Lexus

The cars now are so much more powerful. The Countach had about 450 HP, very good for a production car in the 80's. Now the Lambos all push 800+ HP. But I still love the Countach. I believe Lambo revived the Countach recently.

And the cast of characters... Big names in the industry. 🤔👍🤗

@@twigs76pc absolutely Brian!! Was just mentally laughing at the scene where Mel Tillis ends up in the pool w the truck. You are so right!

@@AussieLis3 I was only 5 years old at the time, but every so many years, generational actors are brought together, and those end up some of the best movies with their antics. LOL 😄🤣

That V12 tingles my spine 😁

I can't decide between the Trans Am and the Countach HELP!!!!

I always thought it sounded like him but never knew it lol

@@gradycostner me too

The voice gives it away

Ray Stevens Did Sing The Theme Song

"Symphony" and I'm sorry to break it too you, the sound was overdubbed using a Ferrari Boxer engine.....

@@Tommyblueeyes so what? The guy likes it...

Try torrent?

Walmart $5 movie bin

@@frozen2ninja I'm pretty sure I have it in my DVD collection, I just haven't pulled it out to watch for a while.

Internet...

It's an actual State Trooper Interceptor. They borrowed it for the movie.
