Burt Reynolds and director
Hal Needham team up for the fourth time, this time bringing an all-star cast of characters on a cross-country car race in the vein of 1976 release
The Gumball Rally. The police are the least of the Cannonballers' worries as they push the pedal to the metal in a race from Connecticut to California.
Reynolds stars as
J.J. McClure, a speed-loving racer disguised as an ambulance driver to outsmart the police. He is paired up with
Dom Deluise, who plays his dimwitted sidekick
Victor and who, on occasion, dons the suit of
Captain Chaos. Rat Packers
Dean Martin and
Sammy Davis, Jr. join the lineup as Ferrari-driving priests, while martial arts expert
Jackie Chan takes on one of his first U.S. film roles driving a souped-up Subaru. Among the many other stars are
Roger Moore doing a parody of his 007 character, complete with secret devices and weapons,
Farrah Fawcett as
Pamela, a woman
McClure and
Chaos pick up, and
Jamie Farr as a deranged Islamic sheik.
Jack Elam joins the cast as a crazed proctologist along for
McClure's ambulance ride, and
Needham makes a cameo as a patient.
