Cannonball!

(1976)

For some reason everyone remembers The Cannonball Run, but nobody remembers the flick it totally ripped off. (Hint: it's this one.) It's basically the same story, except the main guy is Kung Fu instead of the Bandit, there's less jokes, and a lot more people get killed (mostly in car crashes, but there are a couple who get shot or squashed to death too). The most ridiculous part is probably the huge San Andreas-style pileup that happens at the end for absolutely no reason; two people take this one chick who gets hurt to the hospital and wait around for an hour or so to see if she's okay, then we go back to the highway and the pileup is still going on! Give me a fucking break. It also sucks that the slutty chicks driving the van never get naked. I especially liked the one with the short hair- this would've been a way better car chase movie if we had seen her rack.
