This is kind of a shame for a few reasons. The first being that Tom Selleck in 1992 looked every bit the part of an aging slugger and could have been in a better film as opposed to the clichéd racism that he was in here. As Jack Elliott, Selleck entered the world of Japanese Baseball and the attempt at outdated humor began. Frankly, Selleck deserved better, and so did the movie going public. Maybe that movie would have worked a decade before, but for every year that passes, this film becomes more and more offensive. However, can we give him a pass because it’s Magnum P.I.?

Just to make sure we understand this correctly….Matt LeBlanc decided that his first movie while at the height of his television fame during Friends was to play second fiddle to a chimpanzee? Did his agent tell him it worked for Eastwood; who may we state is the only man who could get away with that? At least his character name of “Deuce” was appropriate because that is what this movie was a stinking pile of. This is a role beneath even Joey Tribiani.

J.J. McClure was not necessarily the best driver in the Cannonball Run, but wasn’t he the coolest? He got the ladies (in her prime Farrah Fawcett), befriended the geek (Dom DeLuise) and was the focal hero of the motley crew of racers from Connecticut to California; AKA, the Cannonball Run. As much as the Burt Reynolds of 1981 was fairly close to being as big an icon of cool as there was, we have one pivotal question for J.J. McClure:
Since the race was based on time cards, and they appeared to be the last vehicle to leave Connecticut, did Captain Chaos not have time to save the dog, and still punch the clock ahead of the well-endowed Adrianne Barbeau? So, had he not yelled at Chaos, and instead just grabbed the card, couldn’t he still have won? Wait a minute; did we just dissect the Cannonball Run?

Even though this is a film that empowers women and speaks from a strong feminist message, is it totally wrong that our favorite part of the movie is just watching the lovely, Michelle Rodriguez launch her career as the Latina tough girl in film and television? Frankly, that is enough for us!
