No one knows more about making action/comedy films than director Hal Neddham. Long before he teamed with Burt Reynolds for the phenomenally successful Smokey and the Bandit – continued the partnership on Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit II, The Cannonball Run and Stroker Ace – he was already known as a premiere stunt artist. Combine Needham s talents with the resources of producer Albert S. Ruddy ( The Godfather, The Longest Yard) and you ve got dynamite waiting to explode. That s exactly what happens in Connonball Run II, a calamitously chaotic cross-country auto race that runs rings around any road rally ever filmed. A wealthy Arab monarch (Ricardo Montalban) offers $1 million to the winner of the infamous CannonballRun, a grueling, maniacal transcontinental tourney. but rules and sanity are blown out the window as famous faces turn up at every turn. Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. pose as cops trying to outrun the mob in a sparking red Corvette. When telly Savalas, the baddest hood in a bald head, tries to steal the race (literally), there s only one man to whom to turn. That s right. The Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra. Regarding scenery, Susan Anton and Catherine Bach teasingly tantalize as racers who knowall about fast cars and life in the cannonball lane. Especially when they discover what Joe Theismann has under the hood. But let s not forget out fearless hero. How can Reynolds possibly lose, disquised as a four-star general commanding a top-secret "Nukemobile?" Well…there s Dom DeLuise as his partner, who thinks he really is that daredevil to dare all devils, Captain Chaos. Together they must come to terms with two endearing nuns (Shirley MacLaine and Marilu Henner) just itching to bust out of some old "habits." Throw in Richard Kirl (James Bond s nemesis Jaws), martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, Charles Nelson Reilly, Sid Caesar, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Foster Brooks, Jim Nabors and an orangutan limo driver, and you ll get Cannonball Run II, a mirthful moving violation for which you just might get a laughing ticket..for failing to stop!

Comedy-Deal of the Century
$3.00Quick ViewBeta Tape Deal of the Century Comedy….11339…Color…99 min….Warner Home Video….Starring…Chevy Chase, Sigourney Weaver, Gregory Hines with, Wallace Shawn, Richard Libertini and Vince Edwards…. A deal like this can blow up in your face! Fast-talking Eddie Muntz is a super salesman. Unfortunately, he works in a business where you can really make a killing. Eddie sells weapons. He sells little one that can kick off a riot, and bigger ones that can trigger a world war. But don t worry. Eddie won t sell weapons to just anybody. Only to folks with a suitcase full of money. Chevy Chase stars in William Friedkin s devilish satire of the international arms trade, Deal of the Century. It s a side-splitting peek behind the scenes at an industry that sells big bangs for big bucks – and shoulders a big responsibility for the current sorry state of global relations. Sigourney Weaver co-stars as Catherine deVoto, the amitious widow who turns Muntz on to a multi-million-dollar deal involving robot warplanes and dummy dictators. Gregory Hines plays Eddie s partner Ray, an ex-pilot whose high-flying conscience leads him into a double-cross dogfight that nearly gets everybody wiped out. The climax comes at a major weapons show, "Arms for Peace 84 -one of the most bizarre bazaars in film history. But according to Friedkin and screenwriter Paul Brickman (Risky Business), the reality that makes headlines is even stranger. As in real life, Muntz s weapons systems sometimes wind up in the wrong hands – or in both hands. "Sworn enemies shop for weapons side by side," Friedkin continues. "The people in this business are like little kids playing with toys. The only thing is that these toys can destroy the world." Deal of the Century is a very funny movie about a very serious subject – and if your laughter is a little nervous, you re beginning to get the point.
