HBO Video's DVD of Cannonball Run delivers a bit more than one might expect from a budget-priced disc. For instance, the film looks and sounds better than it did in its videotape incarnation. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen image is sharp and the film has been given a punchy Dolby Digital 5.1 remix that plays up the film's witty use of music and the frequent car-chase sound effects. The Cannonball Run DVD also boasts an unexpected but welcome commentary from director Hal Needham and producer Albert Ruddy. The commentary falls prey to occasional dull spots (both men praise the actors to excess), but patient listeners will be rewarded with plenty of nifty facts. Interesting bits of trivia revealed on the commentary include how much of the budget went to Reynolds' salary and the fact that Hal Needham and screenwriter Brock Yates once participated the real-life Cannonball Run. The one downside of this disc is that it strangely lacks a trailer for the film. Despite this curious omission, the DVD edition of The Cannonball Run is guaranteed to please the film's cult following.
Wow so much fun to see this Movie after over 35 years. I saw it as a kid when my Cousins got Cable in the early 80's. This was a fun trip back in time. Loved seeing the old Legends of Yesterday. Burt Reynolds was the big star and u see a young Jackie Chan playing Japanese Driver. Thumbs Up! Only $3.00 bucks in a bin!
Bought this Double CD back in 2004 and I scratched it from so much use happy Best Buy still had this older title. I hope they never get rid of their CD's because there are still fans of the format.

This video was a lot fun for my nephew and smart enough for adults to not get bored. It is not one of the edgier videos like Killing Joke which would be too dark for my 5 year old nephew but great for overall Family audience.
