Synopsis:
An illegal coast-to-coast car race from Connecticut to California draws a motley crew of crazed contestants, all with their eyes on glory. Among them is race driver JJ McClure and his deluded superhero of a sidekick, Victor aka Captain Chaos, a couple of drunk gamblers disguised as Catholic priests, a pair of buxom beauties whose charms ensure they never get speeding tickets, an Arab oil sheik, a suave and sophisticated Englishman not unlike a certain well-known spy, and two rednecks with a car full of beer. But just being the fastest isn’t all it’s going to take to win this particular race. Hot on their heels are various law enforcement agencies, as well as the tenacious Arthur J. Foyt of the Safety Enforcement Unit.
You'll Love It Because
What’s not to like?
Cars, comedy, crashes, chicks, chaos. A stellar “to die for” cast of Hollywood superstars. The
Rat Pack reunited! Burt Reynolds doing what he does best.
Jackie Chan’s first American film appearance! It’s just a tremendous, hugely enjoyable, no-holds-barred comedy romp that almost defines the term “popcorn flick’.
