Am Excite! I mean, I know it will suck and I think thats great. I t can’t be good, that would be bad. Bad = Good. Are you following along? Good.
I just hope is as goofy and campy and not all Redline or Fast and Furious .
Woo!

Adrienne Barbeau needs to have a cameo in this.

Gumball Rally (the movie) had a Cobra racing a Daytona Spyder. It wins.

I dunno, not to be a wet blanket, but it’s dangerous remaking classics. They so seldom live up to the originals .

There was that Need For Speed movie from a few years ago that was pretty crap but he did a cannonball run complete with a spotter plane and everything. I enjoyed that movie since I saw it for free as a promo.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our fate was sealed when a hollywood producer and a car mag editor piled into a new Dodge vanbulance all those years ago.
Which means this guy is coming along as his co- driver in some muscle car built for America’s dead straight roads and out of service bridges.

Then you say things like “H ave you seen gone in 60 seconds?” and your friend says something like “yeah, I loved Nicholas Cage in that movie!” and that’s how you lose a friend.

Some of the best remakes were remakes of non-classic movies, and I’m not sure the Cannonball movies are true classics...
Either way, it should be a fairly easy formula to recreate. Get some entertaining people, use only practical stunts
, and keep the tone light. Now, whether the studio exes would let a movie like that get produced these days is the big worry...

On the other hand it would be quite a feat for a remake of Cannonball! to be worse than the original – let alone the sequels.

Not “iconic”. Please, no. Soon we’ll all forget what iconic actually meant.
Why not “well-loved”? We
still watch them in spite of how terrible they are.

I am not sure how active she is these days, but a larger role definitely wouldn’t displease me. Ever since I was a kid and cracked up from her role in ‘Creepshow’, she’s amused me.
They should have several of the remaining stars with some kind of role. Sadly, as even Cannonball Run II is 34 years old now, many are not with us anymore.
![]() 06/21/2018 at 14:17 |

Iconic definitely fits. That “Cross country car race movie
” was a popular genre for a very short time there, was the Cannonball run the first one?

CULT classic. meaning it has a loyal but niche following. It fits.
![]() 06/21/2018 at 14:34 |

I am aware of the fact that some films are so incredibly bad that they have a cult following but I’d really prefer to keep the label “cult classic” to something that is formally better.

Never seen it, maybe I will need to. That was an interesting time for movies.
I like that idea for Barbeau, too. Having later watched her in other shows and movies, she’s a definite talent.
