5. The Cannonball Run
The Cannonball Run is one of the best car movies they ever made. It was one of the biggest box office hits of the early ’80s. It features great actors, fantastic scenes, cool cars and funny dialogue. But it also planted a dangerous idea into the heads of many car enthusiasts. The plot of Cannonball Run revolves around driving from New York to Los Angeles in record-breaking time.
But the drivers disregard any laws and traffic rules while trying to beat their competitors. On the silver screen, it looks easy and fun. However, in real life, it is extremely dangerous and illegal. Sadly, several people have tried doing that and were arrested or died when long-distance driving, a lack of concentration and high speed took its toll.
These are five of the top car movies that ruined the car culture. They are fun and entertaining, but they give some viewers the wrong idea. Sadly, they’ve even caused accidents, arrests and even death. Movies are just that, movies and people should never take them seriously. And these five flicks prove just that.
