The plot involves a professional car theft ring specializing in Porsche 911s infiltrated by an undercover cop played by D.B. Sweeney. There are a few great chase scenes that would be appreciated by avid Porschephiles. One of my favorite Porsche movies was released in 1987 starring Charlie Sheen entitled “No Mans Land”.

However, I think it has already been done. We found it once before. Will look around and see if we can find a link to it again. @Petah,

I agree. However, I think it has already been done. We found it once before. Will look around and see if we can find a link to it again.

It would be interesting to develop a list of all such titles. Such a list should probably include use of plastic Speedster replicas ("King of the Mountain"), but state that fact.

I personally, having at that time raced in one of the "original" Cannonball Runs along with Steve and Brock, loved the Gumball Rally. Brock was so freaked out about the obvious and fragrant rip off of his highly touted, illegal cross country race, that he made up his mind that he would write a screenplay and convince Hollywood to make the "real" movie. When Smokey and the Bandit came out in 1977, Brock had his man, Stuntman extraordinaire and Smokey Director, Nal Needham. One sidebar, Wes Dawn, Hollywood stuntman and make-up artist, who did that incredible stunt in Gumball, driving the Ferrari into a moving Truck's empty trailer bay, was in the Doghouse, big time with Brock because Wes had raced in a Cannonball and was now considered a "traitor" for his work in Gumball (where you can see him in the "stalled XKE" at the beginning of the film). Wes eventually did win Brock over and co-drove with me in the fastest ever Cadillac in the 1979 Cannonball.
