Cannonball Run 1 & 2 (1980 & '83)
Debbie's Review: While Jackie was in America in the early 80's hiding out from the Hong Kong triads, his bosses at Golden Harvest thought the exposure of being in a big American production with a huge cast of big name stars would be good for his career. I guess it didn't hurt it any, but it didn't exactly make him a household name. Cannonball Run parts 1 & 2 are really just one long movie, with stars like Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Farrah Faucett, Adrienne Barbeau, and a veritable who's who of 80s TV stars. As 80's nostalgia, they're kind of interesting (if you can remember the 80's, that is). If you compile all Jackie's screen time from both movies it's about the length of a beer commercial. In Part 1 he spends most of his time inside his jazzed-up Mitsubishi in the dark. In the second one he has a quick fight with Peter Fonda and a gang of Easy-Rider rejects that's kind of fun. I actually saw these movies in the 80's when they were first released and sort of liked them, but later when I became a Chan fan I was astonished to learn that he was even in them! Score:

The People's Chan's Review: These are not Jackie movies, although the second one has an okay (but very brief) fight scene. Reasonably funny, in an 80's kind of way. Score: 5/10
Oliver's Review: No...dont see this movie if you can find another Jackie Chan or just a good hollywood movie you havent seen. But I can tell you guys this... As Fantasy mission force, When Jackie jump in to the scenes you lauhge and get happy becuse the few scenes with him is realy funny, but, when he jumps out you just want to canghe movie. Score: 4/10
