- TriviaAccording to Hal Needham, the day Frank Sinatra showed up on-location to shoot his scene in the Dodge Daytona Turbo, talking to Blake (Dean Martin) and Fenderbaum (Sammy Davis, Jr.), almost every cast member (even those who did not have a call to be on-set that day) came on-set to see Sinatra, Davis, Martin (and honorary Rat Pack member Shirley MacLaine) reunite and reminisce.
- GoofsWhen Blake and Fenderbaum try to run the military car off the road, the overhead shot of the accident shows them being cut off by a red/gray Dodge Daytona, not the solid red Corvette they were driving.
- Quotes
Don Canneloni: In the past, the Canneloni family was the most powerful of the families. We controlled drugs, prostitution, extortion, prostitution, gambling...
Slim: Uh, you said 'prostitution' twice.
Don Canneloni: Well, I like it.

Featured review
I have seen all the comments that were posted for this movie and honestly, there's really nothing to complain about.I mean, come on! It's just one of them zany comedy in the 80s that featured an all-star studded cast (especially a younger Jackie Chan) racing cross country for 1 million dollars. I do agree that the acting was a bit bad for some folks out there, but this film still kept me watching to the very end. Some of the plot however was mostly pointless just to poke fun on humor, yet still entertaining to a certain degree. I watched CRII ever since I was 10 years old and it still remains to be a formidable force to collection since I now have it on DVD. I guess when it comes to 'dissing' this movie, it's because we eventually get older and that we downgrade things of the past. Movie making has evolved big time (with all the special effects and what not) and CRII was one of the great films to keep in the time capsule of 80s flicks. Every Hollywood movie remains special even how many would judge it. If it weren't for comedies like this, the comedy movies today wouldn't be as funnier as they are. And lastly, to the stars of the movies that have passed away through time, you all are appreciated and remembered...COMO CANNONBALL...FUERTE COMO CANNONBALL!
