cannonball ( 2 outta 5 star ) pretty dreary low budget car chase movie star david carradine and direct by paul bartel who team up for the classic death race 2000 the year before . this time out inspiration seem to be have be replace by desperation . the movie isn not really terrible . but there isn not much of it that you will remember afterwards . carradine play the title character and the hottest and the cool driver in the world who be determine to win an illegal cross country car race . well and the plot be pretty much the same a death race and a lot of the same actor show up . but it a pretty tepid follow up . the wit and the satire of the previous movie be miss in action . this movie try to be funny but it the same kind of cheap and cornball gag you saw in practically every car chase flick in the 70 . the stuntwork be particularly unimpressive a well . the chief rule seem to be represent when in doubt and run someone off the road . brief cameo appearance by martin scorsese and sylvester stallone . probably the only time the two will ever work together .
