Speed Zone

1989 · 94 min

A loud, silly road-race romp that coasts on slapstick chases and goofy characters rather than plot.

Directed by
Jim Drake
Genres
Comedy, Action
Tagline
A comedy that's over the limit and beyond the law!
Overview
An illegal race that takes place over the United States and nothing will stop this bunch of racers except for the occasional cop or a damsel in distress. Jackie Chan's car is not in this one, but many new cars make up for that. Who will win? Who will crash? Who will not even finish? Sit down and buckle up for the ride of your life.
