what be this about cross country race . i saw the gumball rally and it mostly comedy and adventure and this one be more high octane . david carradine who fresh from kung fu play coy cannonball buckman and a ex con who make this race an important part of his life . veronica hamel ( before hit it big a hill street blue character and joyce davenport ) a parole officer and linda maxwell . everybody get to the spot in california in a coast to coast race where anything go . scheme and cheat and sabotage other vehicle and everyone want the big money . a friend of coy emulate him and and coy brother bennie ( dick miller ) place some explosive under a german driver car . when the truth of the traffic accident surface and linda realize that coy wasn not a guilty man . his trans be be total and and his replacement car be a mean ford mustang . the car pileup be sicken and and the young kid help out linda after coy friend be kill . and coy himself would rather win fare and square and than have the competition eliminate by extreme matter . look like linda be more important to him than the money . and the young kid deserve it more . this movie have get plenty of action and and plenty of laugh and and david carradine haven not lose his touch in his move . 3 out of 5 star .
