The Gumball Rally (1976, United States) Running time: 105 minutes
Language: English Michael Bannon, a bored businessman from New York, decides to organize a coast-to-coast race that he calls Gumball Rally with only one rule - there are no rules. Together with group of enthusiasts he sets up the start in the garage on Manhattan, but their preparations gather attention from police and Lieutenant Roscoe is on their trail.
One of the car movies based on the Cannonball Baker (or Cannonball Run) unofficial race that took place few times during the 1970s and gathered some attention from media, but also law enforcement. We have here all the basic ingredients - the cop that will stop at nothing to spoil the race, group of car fanatics, who want to take part in the race, some not very impressive jokes and quite impressive cars. Overall not bad car movie, just don’t expect anything deep.
