I love Cannonball Run. I know it's a dumb movie but it's a FUN dumb movie. The likable cast is having a blast and it shows. I've even found things to like about Cannonball Run II over the years. Speed Zone doesn't belong in the same breath as either film. This thing stinks. It's a cast of mostly Hollywood Squares rejects playing unlikable characters doing unfunny things. Even John Candy, who's in this at the height of his career for God knows what reason, can't save it. Also most of the driving footage is shot during overcast or rainy days in what looks like Canada or the northern US in fall/winter. Hardly aesthetically pleasing for a "fun" racing comedy. I've given this movie three chances now and that's two and a half too many.
