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. Like the first two "Cannonball Run" films, the film is a comedy set around an illegal cross-country race (inspired by the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash). In this movie, the premise is that all the racers are arrested before the race begins, and the sponsors have to quickly line up new racers.
As of May 2008, Speed Zone! has not been released on DVD in the United States.
