Customer Reviews of The Gumball Rally
Car madness The Gumball Rally is just a fun movie (in the same vein as The Canonball rally)for people that like classic cars. There is no plot, there are no special effects and in general one can see that this was a low budget production. <
>However there are some great car racing scenes with cars that one doesn't see very often. My favourite being the AC Cobra. <

The movie that the "Cannonball Run" should have been...
If you read Brock Yates' Cannonball book you'll understand that he wanted the "Cannonball Run" to be more factual and reality based versus the comic slime it denegrated into. The Gumball Rally is what I consider more true to Yates' and others experiences than any of the others on film.

>You need to watch "Vanishing Point" , the original "Gone in 60 Seconds", and this movie (in this order for a great positive feeling) to hit the trifecta of really cool '70's car movies.

>It is a shame that they couldn't get any of the folks back together (due to some already passing away) to discuss the film for a DVD voiceover.
A true classic car film that's fast and funny
"The Gumball Rally" is really a cult-classic. Overshadowed by the later Burt Reynolds "Cannonball Run" films, "Gumball" is a movie that will please any true automobile enthusiast.

>Although it was filmed as a comedy, it is just so much more entertaining than the pathetic Burt Reynolds movies. There is a much, much larger focus on the cars. No sped-up footage anywhere here folks, and the fact that the cars are really being driven by the actors makes it all the more interesting. There is nothing I have seen in my entire life more satisfying than seeing and hearing the beautiful sounds of a Ferrari Daytona and an AC Cobra racing for superiority; and the camera captures it all beautifully, to boot.

>As for the comedy, the movie does a far better job than I would have expected, serving up plenty of quotable one-liners, along with lots of straight car humor (the Jaguar's problem starting, for instance). The acting is actually surprisingly good as well. Michael Sarrazin nails his role as Michael Bannon, an eccentric candy company exec with a passion for speed; and the late Raul Julia convinces as Franco Bertollini, Bannon's rival, an Italian F1 ace with a passion for breasts. All of the other actors impress as well, though Sarrazin and Julia particularly impress.

>This movie is the most captivating car movie I have ever seen. It's a quotable movie with great cars, great cinematography, and great acting. Now my dreams are posessed by 70's roadsters with Cibie fog lights.

>5 out of 5 stars, hands down.
