  • Opening Lamborghini Countach bit from Cannonball Run

    I posted it before in Canada, but it deserves some more recognition.

            I wore it out when I first discovered it. It ranks up with Grand Prix and Le Mans on my list of perfect cars movies for one pretty simple reason: very little dialogue. Le Mans nailed it, what dialogue there was in Grand Prix was quite poetic, and Gumball Rally has a lot more than either of those but quite a bit less than your average feature film, and it makes for sheer awesomeness.

              Jaguar wouldn't loan a car to the guys making Gumball Rally. So they found an old XKE they could borrow and made it the butt of jokes throughout the movie.

                  Second best goddamned part of the whole movie, right behind all of the car porn and just in front of Gary Busey.

                          Yeah, that is terribly hilarious. Talk about a great way to give someone the middle finger.
