Product 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 2900 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!Running Time: 107 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 012569708600

 A classic, witty fun movie that any light-hearted motorhead will enjoy October 19, 2009
Andrew T. DiSario (Boca Raton, FL USA)
This is my 3rd favorite movie of all times. I first saw this movie when it was shown originally in 1976 at a drive-in in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. At the impressionable age of 17, I sat behind the spoked steering wheel of my 1969 MGB/GT, with buddies crammed in the car also, and I initially fell in love with this movie.
There is little I can add to the other fine reviews, except to specify that the Ferrari in the movie is no ordinary Ferrari (as if such a car existed), it is one of my all-time favorite Ferrari's, a 365 GTS/4, the spyder (convertible) version of the 365 GTB/4, unofficially known as the Ferrari Daytona. To many of us, this Ferrari is the quintessential Colombo-designed V12 front-engine Ferrari.
And let's not forget the legendary 427 Shelby Cobra in the race, also.
This movie stereotypes and pokes good fun at the tendencies "as a group" of nationalities and classes of both cars, and people too. Tongue-in-cheek, harmless good-natured fun. Being in love with tempermental British sports cars at the time (1976), I found it very fitting that my own personal just-out-of-reach, unobtainable dream-car, the Jaguar E-Type, ... would not even start in the garage to participate in the race.
By the way, other excellent movies we motorheads who also like motorcycles will enjoy are:
#1 - On Any Sunday;
#2 - The World's Fastest Indian.

 Better than the Burt Reynolds version October 16, 2009
J. Carey (oregon)
I like this much better than Burt's versions of this story. The cast is better and the comedy is much more fun.

Review of Gumball Rally May 5, 2009
Jeffrey J. Isbell (Chula Vista, CA)
This is a great, funny movie. It is the first of many comedy cross country road movies. The cars, especially the AC Cobra and the Ferrari Daytona Spyder are the true stars of the film. If you like car flicks I highly recommend this.
