Limerick Review Strikes Again!!! Cannonball Run

Holy Crap, that was JACKIE CHAN!!!!

Here's one for all of you junkies,
Who like old movies with big names and monkeys,
Car chases and fights,
And Dom Deloise in tights,
Plus bimbos who're picked up as flunkies.

Ole Clint did not fight in this flick,
And Sally Fields did not play the chick,
Farrah Fawcett was cool,
Jamie Farr played the fool,
And Roger Moore as always was slick.

But I was most surprised by the man,
A racer that came from "Japan",
His car was well scorned,
(Though he could watch porn)
My God!!! That guy's Jackie Chan!!!!

Burt Reynolds, crazy antics and beer,
Give warm fuzzies from toes to my ears,
And now that I know,
That it's not just a show,
I have SO got to try this next year.

P.S. I had no idea there was a real thing. No, not the crappy reality show, they honestly used to race breakneck all the way cross country back in the seventies. The ambulance used for the movie was actually built and raced in by the director.Link

They still do it but more like a time/distance precision thing.

I've never seen any of those . . .

We had that soundtrack at my house when I was a kid. I can still hear the main title song in my head today!

As far as not having seen certain movies (or knowing about them at least).....................at one point in Cannonball Run Jackie Chan puts a video in while he's driving. I didn't know that it was a real movie (Behind the Green Door).
