I watched The Cannonball Run last night. I'd never seen it before. To be honest I wasn't expecting to enjoy it, but I really liked it. Of course having Dom DeLuise in it was a big plus, but I thought the film was just really funny. Good characters too. However, I do have a question. Helen seemed to think that I was reading too much into it, but I just don't understand, the race is a timed one, winners are the ones that have the smallest difference between their start and finish time, they all started at different times. With the number of cars involved there was quite a big gap between the first car going and the last, long enough for Victor to go and find a Doctor for their ambulance. Yet, at the end of the race all of the cars left in the race were pretty neck and neck, fighting to get to the clock first and after one had punched their card no one else bothered. I'm sure they weren't the last to leave, If JJ had run and grabbed the ticket from where Victor had dropped it and punched it himself, he'd only have lost a few seconds. All the other contestants should have been trying to punch theirs too. It doesn't make sense. However, it doesn't really matter, it was a good film, I enjoyed it.
