Description

It's fast, funny, outrageously illegal - and the granddaddy of the cross-country speed spectacles that have raced across movie screens in the past two generations. Put your pedal to the metal for The Gumball Rally. New York City is the starting point and this supersonic contest ends 2,900 miles later in Los Angeles. In between, director Chuck Bail (coordinator of many classic movie stunt sequences) and a crew of actors and stuntpersons treat you to a truly breakneck road comedy. Gary Busey plays a daredevil in a 600-horsepower Camaro. Raul Julia portrays an Italian Grand Prix champ who's also an incurable romantic in a fast Ferrari. Michael Sarrazin as the race's crafty, overconfident organizer pilots a classic Cobra. Ready, set, zoom!

What's behind me, she's not important!.......2007-06-17

What's not to like... classic cars, Raul Julia, a road race, Raul Julia... did I mention Raul Julia? Much better than any of the competitors like Cannonball Run.

ferarri.......2007-05-25

If you love the performance cars of the 70's, this is a must have. The Ferarri Daytona is incredible!

Classic... way before the Cannonball Run movie was out!!.......2007-05-24

This is the first movie I ever saw at a drive-in when I was 6 yrs old. It's still a great car movie!! Classic! What I love seeing now when I watch it is the fact that they are actually beating a real Shelby Ford Cobra and Ferrari Daytona Spyder!! The Cobra's aluminum body is all bashed up at the end of the movie... it's awesome!!
The story is good too... but the racing and engine sounds is what this movie is all about! If you're a car guy or girl- this movie is for you!!

As Good as I remembered!.......2007-05-07

I'd been searching for this DVD for a couple of years now as a gift for my Brother. Of course once I finally found it, I had to get one for myself. Since it's a '70's movie my husband nor my [...] son were interested in watching... until I turned it on. We all watched it from beginning to end & had a blast! We laughed out loud... and as my [...] son put it "I didn't think it would be funny mom, but it was REAL funny - for real!"

Great for car lovers .......2007-03-19

If you are into cars you'll be into this movie. Forget the main characters names and the plot all you need to know is that they are driving coast to coast in a ferrari and a cobra. Good fun!

Product Description

Look, ma, no speed limit! It's not just how fast you go, but how funny, in two revved-up comedies about cross-country road races. Michael Sarrazin, Gary Busey and Raul Julia are rival drivers in The Gumball Rally (Side A), the trend-setting coast-to-coast spectacle "with genuinely funny characters, great cars, and loads of cartoon-like action" (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide). The cars zip along at top speed and the stars quip along in top form in Cannonball Run II (Side B). Burt Reynolds leads the horse-powered horseplay of a race spanning some 3,000 breakneck miles. Among the players in this joyride: Jackie Chan, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Catherine Bach, Dom De Luise, Dean Martin, Marilu Henner, Shirley MacLaine...the list goes on. Ladies and gentlemen: start your DVD players!
Running Time: 215 min.

Funny double header.......2007-06-13

These movies are old but still are fun to watch again after so many years.

Always pleasant to watch and loaded with memories.......2007-01-05

I like Gumball Rally because it is a movie that we enjoyed so much with my son that we lost in a tragic accident in 1996. My son was 10 years old at that time and we decided to build a Cobra... and we did... This is a funny movie with a lot of memories for me...

2 classic racing comedies on one shiny DVD!!! Wow!!!.......2006-10-01

Wow!!! What a great DVD,it contains BOTH "The Gumball Rally" and "The Cannonball Run II" on one double sided DVD!!! This gives you more bang for your buck,it's cheaper than buying the two DVD's individually!!! And it's saves space too!!! "Gumball Rally" is in Widescreen and "Cannonball II" is Standard Full Frame,but thats okay because these great movies are finally available on DVD!!! These great racing comedies are full of laughs and features a ton of great acting talent that includes:Burt Reynolds,Sammy Davis Jr.,Michael Sazarrin,Jackie Chan,Telly Savalas,Frank Sinatra,Raul Julia,Dom Deluise,Jamie Farr,Catherine Bach,Richard Kiel,Dean Martin,Doug McClure,Charles Nelson Reilly,Shirley MaClaine,Jack Elam,Don Knotts,Ricardo Montalban,Tony Danza,Mel Tillis,and many more!!! Absolute classic car racing comedies!!! Move over Talledega Nights,these are the original classics!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

A Winner!.......2006-09-19

I bought this to finally see The Gumball Rally, having already seen the lackluster Cannonball Run II, but the two combined for this price is quite a deal.
Cannonball 2 is worth watching for the huge starring cast and for the cars but in my opinion falls behind The Cannonball Run (1) and Speed Zone, the other two light hearted comedy films of this genre.

Gumball however, is simply the best. Sure, it doesn't have Burt Reynolds and the rest but as a car movie it comes out in first.
Gumball captures the spirit and the essence of driving, and if you are a real car enhusiast, you know what I mean. If not, you'll likely still laugh at the funny characters.
The actors did quite well, portraying memorable characters, and it's cool to see those cars (some of which are ridiculously valuable now) running like that.

It's a great cast running high speed, driving classic American Muscle and Foreign Exotics, with tops down and hair blowing all the way to the finish.

Don't judge it by it's rather lame cover. This is a real car show with REAL fast driving, not sped up cheese. Great Camera angles, great sounds, and a great experience. Admittedly none of these rather simple types of movies qualify as a truly GREAT movie, but Gumball is the best of it's kind and a genuinely enjoyable and funny film. A simple pleasure!
Some may like Cannonball II better. With this two pack, either way you win!

EXCELLENT MEMORIES.......2006-08-11

I remember seeing this movie at a drive-in theater when it first came out and having a huge race among five different cars afterwards. I'll never forget GumBall Rally (the better movie of the two) and I'm sure happy to finally own it on DVD.

Gumball 3000: 6 Days in May.......2007-03-10

Good, but not as good as "Gumball 3000 : The Movie"

Watch the movie before you review it silly.......2006-04-25

The reviewer below must not of watched this movie because this is actually not a remake. Its a documentary of sorts on the Gumball 3000 race that happens every year in europe, when hundreds upon hundreds of cars line up at the starting line in London and race across europe using the public roads. No roads are closed of for the race, making it one long test of endurance, its lasts 6 days. The race is very popular among the rich and famous, such as adrian brody, who raced with his on motorcycle, which was a great test of wits. For most of the movie it follows a famous skateboarded in his BMW suv. I liked it, but then again who am I.
