Not bad at all

The main reason I had bought this movie was because my favorite Nascar driver (R.I.P.) Dale Earnhardt and my bf's favorite (R.I.P.) Neil Bonnet are in it. But after I started watching the movie I found it to be funny and loved Burt in that chicken suit! Even though Dale and Neil were only in it for a few seconds I still loved the movie. May 6, 2008

One of many nails in Burt's career...

This film (along with the Cannonball Run movies) pretty much destroyed Burt Reyonlds's career. It's a shame, because anyone who has seen Deliverance knows that Burt Reyonlds can actually act. Instead, he wanted to be a "good ole boy", and he did a plethora of airheaded, terrible films like this. Reportedly, Burt turned down the role of the astronaut in Terms of Endearment for this. Now that's depressing! August 12, 2006

Not a four or five star film, but certainly didn't deserve the * that socalled expert critics gave it!

Reynolds, Beatty, Anderson, Nabors and
even Bubba Smith are very fine in here.
Funny, short Comedy movie about egoman-
iac NASCAR (BACK WHEN THE SPORT WAS worth
watching!) driver and hillbilly friends
and pit crew who keep running out of spon-
sors. Reynolds signs on with fried chicken
magnate Beatty without reading the fine
print of contract, to his dismay. Lonie
and Burt started a relationship after
meeting on this set! Funny, especially
Jerry Reed's critique at the end in
outtakes! Director Hal Needham's best
effort with Reynolds! I really like it. May 28, 2006

It's an oldy but a goody. Looked all over for it for my boyfriend and was so glad I could make his day and find it. He can sit there and watch it over and over. Really good movie. March 15, 2006

burt's last stand as a good ole boy and it skinks

this movie more than any other helped kill what was left of burt reynolds acting rloes for the rest of the 80's and keeped him on t.v. till "boggie nights". not one laugh or even a good chuckle to be had in this mess that was realesased very quickly and went under the waves even faster than "heat" did. man what a waste of time and money. no stars but they make you give it one.
