A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Much more rooted in reality than Roger Corman's & Paul Bartel's other road race movie, Death Race 2000, but it's still a fun enough time. Cannonball stars many of the same people as the before-mentioned movie, plus it has bit parts for Allan Arkush, Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Sylvester Stallone and even Martin Scorsese.

That movie and even the second part will forever have a place in my heart.

There was a part 3

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Zone

Speed Zone (also known as Cannonball Run III, Cannonball Fever, One for the Money and Speedzone Fever) .... The film is the third and final installment of the Cannonball Run trilogy and a sequel to The Cannonball Run (1981) and Cannonball Run II (1983)

I know. But I only saw that much later, when I wasn't an impressionable child anymore.

Wow I didn't know that existed but I've seen Death Race 2000 several times. Sounds like the same movie minus the Sci-Fi
