What is the name of the movie where in the opening scene a red Lambo countach skips across a pond? I know it isnt cannonball or gumball run. Maybee a sequel to it?

Possibly Cannon Ball Run II... I remember seeing the scene you are talking about but I just can't remember the movie.

Earth girls are easy ?? no maybe Spaceballs ....no that was not it .....man there were alot of cheesy movies in the 80's I love them all !!

Speed Zone is correct. I believe the Lambo was the Shieks car. Also gotta love the early ricers in that movie.

does anyone know when those three movies(cannonball 1,2 and speed zone) are going to be on DVD?

I've got Cannonball 1 on DVD now, got it in the Walmart clearance bin!! If I had to choose a favorite though.. It would have to be Gumball Rally.

The wild thing is that almost all of the stuff in the first movie (except Capt. Chaos ) is based on real events. This is a fun book to read.

I've got it.
The book is better. I loved the drafting Winnebago with the big wall of white in front. So close to the 18 wheeler they couldn't see the road. LOL!

Was that the one with John Candy? I think I remember a scene where Alyssa Milano is in some Bronco/Blazer type of thing and blows off a Jaguar XJS. I loved the realism!

Its a chevy Blazer. Not full size. And that blue jag XJS wins the race. I love jags but wish the Lambo would have won. That was my favorite movie as a kid. Lookin all over the web to buy it. So far ebay is my only option. If anyone knows of other sources let me know.
