Speed Zone!, also known as Cannonball Fever, released in 1989, is the third and (as of 2008) final installment of the Cannonball Run series of movies.

As of May 2008, Speed Zone! has not been released on DVD in the United States.

Plot

Like the first two "Cannonball Run" films, this film is a comedy set around an illegal cross-country race (inspired by the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash), except this time, the premise is that all the racers get arrested before the race begins, and all the sponsors have to line up new racers in a hurry!

Cast

Speed Zone! stars many alumni of SCTV, including John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Joe Flaherty. The cast includes Donna Dixon, Matt Frewer, Tim Matheson, Mimi Kuzyk, Melody Anderson, Shari Belafonte, Brian George, Art Hindle, Dick Smothers, Tom Smothers, Peter Boyle, Don Lake, John Schneider, Lee Van Cleef, Harvey Atkin, Michael Spinks, Brooke Shields, Alyssa Milano, Louis Del Grande and Carl Lewis.

Jamie Farr cameos as "Shiek Abdul ben Falafel", who says in an interview that he is retiring from racing. Farr and his character are the only actor and character to appear in all three films of the Cannonball Run movie universe.
