Doesn't anyone like the orangutang?

This movie isn't that bad. Basically it's a vehicle for alot of stars to get together and act stupid. Knowing that,it might be a little easier to take. Maybe not. I like this movie.Nobody ever mentions the parts w/ the orangutang and Goerge Lindsay...HILARIOUS!!!! I'm older {43} I guess you have to be 70's generation to appreciate this.

The Ultimate Vanity Film

Justly forgotten, "Cannonball Run II" (1984) is a glorified home movie that displays its all-star cast in a spectacularly poor light. Production values are nonexistent and the anticipated Rat Pack reunion (with Frank Sinatra barely showing up) falls woefully flat. After sinking to the depths of "Stroker Ace," Burt Reynolds and director Hal Needham end their screen partnership on a truly wretched note. Recommended only for sadomasochistic film buffs.

For the Fans

If you loved the first Cannonball then you'll love the second; in fact if you liked the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies then you like "Cannonball."

In my humble opinion, this is a good movie, not a great movie. One that you can watch over and over again, but won't neccessarly be your first choice when picking one out.

If you're a fan or this era of movie or Burt Reynolds then you should get this movie.
