Rat Race (9/9) Movie CLIP - Lightning II: The Landspeeder (2001) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Vera (Whoopi Goldberg) and Merrill (Lanei Chapman) steal a land speeder.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
A very loose remake of the classic multi-star comedy It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963), this madcap comedy is directed by Jerry Zucker, one third of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy team and director of Ghost (1990). John Cleese stars as an eccentric casino owner who devises a contest pitting six teams against each other in a race to claim two million dollars from a locker in New Mexico. The competitors are Owen (Cuba Gooding Jr., who ends up driving a bus full of Lucille Ball imitators, a foreigner (Rowan Atkinson) who hitches a ride in an organ donor vehicle, and a recently reunited mother and daughter (Whoopi Goldberg and Lanei Chapman) who anger a "squirrel lady" (Kathy Bates) -- much to their regret. There are also two con artist brothers (Seth Green and Vince Vieluf), the upright Nick (Breckin Meyer), who gets a lift from cute but psychotic pilot Tracy (Amy Smart), and the eccentric Pear family, headed up by Jon Lovitz. Rat Race also stars Dave Thomas, Kathy Najimy, Wayne Knight, Dean Cain, and Paul Rodriguez.

HIT US UP:

[pyromania]

I just love how the scientists, including the designated driver, aren't pissed that the rocket car got stolen.

[xZippy]

That bullet part was one of the most genius jokes I've ever seen.

[RMJ]

I love how fast, they dont give a shit about who stole their vehicle. As long as they are setting a record everything is good :D

[pebblewriter]

Great scene with Dave Powledge as the mechanic. Dave often stunt-doubled John Goodman, but enjoyed on-camera work the most. His laugh was just like this. Infectious, it always filled a room. And, Dave wasn't happy unless everyone in the room was laughing along with him. Miss you, Bud.

[mandodiaz]

I love the follow up scene where they get put in a bus with the mental patients, commenting "we came in the rocket car."

[lucylocket]

This scene was always my favourite in the movie in my childhood days, the bit in which it rockets past the petrol station had me in stitches! 😂🤣😂

[AtlasBlizzard]

I still think it's genius how they stole the car by impersonating supermodels - which is EXACTLY what this sort of demonstration would have.

[zhongzheng]

I watched it on a plane at mid night, cannot laughing to wake up everyone around me

[Conan_the_Based]

"We came here in a rocket car"
a ROCKET car."

[simplyjuannie]

I love the part where the bullet shows up next to the rocket car in slow motion. The car was faster than a speeding bullet. 🤣🤣🤣

[supernaturalsupremeslayer]

The scientist were happy that their rocket car was stolen now they can set the record without either of them possibly dying in a crash

[itsjemmabond]

The good LORD listened. Serves that mechanic right!

[jpowell]

As the bullet is racing with them... Awesome :D

[mikeday]

Stepping aboard the 'looney bus' Whoopi says "we was in a rocket car".

[TheStapleGunKid]

You gotta love how the guy at the podium doesn't notice the question of "how do you start it" came from behind him and not from the audience.

[WookieOwner]

1:45 That's what you get for making God mad lol

[davidark]

I have a special memory of watching this scene at home. When I was 12, my family rented and washed this movie together. We had just perfectly calibrated our home theater's subwoofer to play for movies, and not just my dad's 100 CD changer. "Wow, the movies have bass now!"
This scene rattled our whole house. Not only were we laughing our asses off, we were also on the edge of our seats.

[jordan]

1:47 God times everything perfectly. ;)

[kingjoker]

Billy Ray's laugh cracked me up as kid and now that am grown it 10x funnier 😂🤣

[ciapaty]

0:58 I love Boris Johnson's cameo
