Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the forgotten third Cannonball Run movie, made without Burt Reynolds, Hal Needham, or any reason to exist. The 1989 box office corpse that killed the franchise dead.
Jackie Chan was supposed to cameo but bailed—probably saw the script. The 'Jackie Chan's car is not in this one' tagline is the studio admitting defeat before you even buy a ticket.
