Variety Staff Variety Jul 6, 2010
Execution is uninspired, laughs are hard to find, and the script is also difficult to locate. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Oct 23, 2004
0.5/4
Cannonball Run II is one of the laziest insults to the intelligence of moviegoers that I can remember. Sheer arrogance made this picture. Go to Full Review
Janet Maslin New York Times May 20, 2003
1.5/5
Directed in slam-bang style by Hal Needham, the film is an endless string of cameo performances from a cast whose funny participants are badly outnumbered and whose television roots are unmistakable. Go to Full Review

The repetition of the formula doesn't surprise us like the first time. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The movie is a genuine cultural artifact, a relic given to us by a band of entertainers from long ago, who live in self-imposed exile in the dusty, neon hellhole of Las Vegas. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 31, 2025 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacanas e melhores do que o primeiro filme, o elenco é bacana, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, a história é bacaninha, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores. See more
Gary M @RT27105089 Jan 1, 2025 It's an enjoyable car movie with fun stunts See more
David W @Sternhammer Jun 13, 2023 Sticks very much to the same formula and although not quite as funny as the first Cannonball there are still some broad humoured laughs to be had. There are some very funny cameos and the main stars again do well but the scripts not got quite as many high points. Still it more than passes the laugh test for me. The wokes will hate it but I enjoyed it. Maybe you need to be of a certain vintage to get the most out of it as the humour is very much of the era. A guilty pleasure. And a damn sight funnier that the 'knowing', self referencing, meta garbage thats being churned out today. See more
