This movie is one of my favorites. The Cannonball movies are great, and I think this one fits in with the first two just fine, if not better. As a youngster, I was obsessed with exotic cars and used to rent this movie all the time mostly for the cars. Now over 10 years later, I still love watching this movie. It has awesome cars, a good list of stars, and you gotta love the cheesy acting/plot. Obviously this movie isn't Oscar-worthy, and it wasn't intended to be, but really, the only movies worthy of awards and critics' attention are the boring and/or unheard of movies that would put you to sleep faster than Nyquil. Unless you're a movie critic (meaning: you have no personality, no humor, and are uptight about everything), you should get a kick out of this movie, if not at least a good amount of laughs.
I've seen this movie for the first time when I was a kid. I loved it then, and I love it even today. Strictly speaking as a movie, this one isn't very good. But if you like nice exotic cars, than this is one movie you really must see. It's supposed to be a continuation of the Cannonball Run movies with Burt Reynolds, but it has a very different style. In the first 2 movies you also get very weird cars such as an ambulance, but in this movie you only see exotic sports cars (Jaguar, Lamborghini, BMW, Ferrari, ...). Try it, and judge for yourself...
Essentially an unofficial sequel to the "Cannonball Run" movies, "Speed Zone!" is probably more "racy" than its predecessors (not that it moves faster, it just has more actual racing scenes), but is defeated anyway by unfunny characters and general pointlessness. There is no serious reason why you should see this film (if Alyssa Milano had a larger role, then we'd talk about it) (*1/2)
This is no comedy! This is a very poorly written,poorly directed,and poorly acted piece of trash. I watched this movie in its entirety,and did not laugh even once. A terrible waste of talent. The first two Cannonball Run films were better than this,though that's not saying much either.1/2 out of 4 stars
