At the Movies with Siskel & Ebert, 1984-Cannonball Run II, Muppets Take Manhattan (1of2)

For many years after, Cannonball Run II would often be cited by Siskel as the worst movie ever made. Next review is Bachelor Party, which is a different upload.

God i hate the cannon ball run movies there just not funny, there depressing, especially when you look at all the talent involved, its not right man.

Funny that Siskel mentioned TMTM is a good film to take your child to for the first time. This was the first movie I ever saw in the theatre.

OK that Muppet Babies sequence is absurdly cute.

Muppets takes Manhattan was pretty sweet.

Cannonball Run 2 was such a pointless sequel, the first one was a classic, but part 2 is like a poor recycled of the first one.

I liked the first Cannonball Run actually, but I was 10.
