Last weekend we had Burt Reynolds in his 1980 hit "Smokey and the Bandit II." This weekend, a little more Burt and this time in a movie I really liked from 1981 called "The Cannonball Run." The movie is about a cross country outlaw road race called The Cannonball Run featuring Burt, Dom DeLuise (aka Captain Chaos), a bra-less Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Jackie Chan, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and more. The star studded cast helped make the movie the 6th highest grossing film of 1981.
