The top mistakes in Cannonball Run II http://www.moviemistakes.com/film230 en Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:55:02 +0000 1423 When Dean Martin's car passes the military-looking Imperial, his red Corvette is suddenly a red and silver Dodge Daytona. It switches back to the red 'Vette in the car's next shot. 27130 This is a mistake that goes on through the entire movie; mix-up with cars. There is, for example, a very special yellow sports car parked at the beach where the start of the race began. Later in the movie the two girls borrow this car from a mechanic, who is obviously not in the race, and would not have been at the beach. Even later the yellow car breaks down, and the two girls borrow a tow truck, leaving the yellow car behind. Some scenes later, there is a shot of a medley of cars coming down the road, and the yellow car is one of them. But how can this be, since the yellow car broke down a few scenes earlier? There is also a shot of Fenderbaum and Blake passing J.J. and Victor in their Dodge Daytona. The problem is that for the entire movie Fenderbaum and Blake was driving a Corvette, NOT a Daytona. The Daytona, however, is the car that Frank Sinatra uses for the last 10 minutes of the movie. 72590 At the beginning of the film, a police car is chasing the black Mitsubishi. When the police car is gone, the Mitsubishi 'lands' on the roadside. Look at the shadow to see a portion of the crane that is lowering the car. It's the type used in junkyards that has a large magnet to lift cars. 74246 The car that JJ and Victor use in the race is a specially modified Chrysler Imperial. In a couple of scenes, the car changes from an Imperial to a Cadillac Seville. 135700 The opening chase has a police car chasing a white Countach. We hear the officers talking on the radio, reporting the chase events, etc., yet the driver is alone and is always seen with his hands on the wheel, never holding the radio's microphone.
