What happens

Cannonball Run II is a 1983 American road action comedy film starring Burt Reynolds and an all-star cast, released by Warner Bros. Pictures and Golden Harvest. The film is the second installment of the Cannonball Run trilogy and a sequel to The Cannonball Run (1981). Like the first film, it is set around an illegal cross-country race, inspired by the real life Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. This marked the final feature film appearances of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Their appearances, coupled with those of Sammy Davis Jr. marked the final on-screen appearance of the Rat Pack team. The film also marked the final film appearance of Jim Nabors before his death in November 2017. The film was followed by a sequel, Speed Zone, in 1989. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
