The Cannonball Run (1981)

 'The Cannonball Run' is like a combination of the Hanna-Barbara series 'Whacky Races' and 'Laugh Olympics', except instead of animated cartoon characters it features live action cartoon characters. It's bad sketch comedy and racial stereotypes by way of 'Smokey and the Bandit' - splotaion. Cross country race from New Jersey to the California cost populated by people Gen X knows and Gen Z dosen't, including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Jamie Farr, Adrienne Barbeau, Terry Bradshaw Peter Fonda and Jackie Chan. A bunch of people got together and made a movie and nothing seemed to matter as much as they had a good time doing it. Time capsule quaint. **
