** ''Cannonball Run II'' has been criticized for the race after the fight at the Pinto Ranch being compressed into a TravelMontage and the winner not being revealed until the last second. But due to being an ActionizedSequel, the plot became more about rescuing the Sheik from the mob than the race itself. The race was treated like a non-issue because it seemed like it in comparison.

** In ''Speed Zone'', Charlie (Creator/JohnCandy) tells Tiffany he's taking part in the Cannonball because winning the race is something you tell your grandchildren. John Candy died in 1994 when his oldest child was fourteen, meaning he wouldn't be able to tell his grandchildren anything. (As of 2018, his grandchildren have yet to be born.)

** When J.J. and Victor are being taken to the hospital after the boat crash, J.J. asks the paramedic how far it is to the hospital and how long it will take to get there. The paramedic tells him they're about ten miles from the hospital, but it only take four or five minutes to get there due to the ambulance's ability to get through traffic. This gives J.J. and Victor the idea to use one in the race. When they get pulled over during the race, the police officer tells them they were going a hundred and twenty. That's about how fast you would need to go to cover ten miles in four or five minutes.
** When Blake and Fenderbaum see J.J. and Victor at the starting line, they decide that the pair are their main competition and make plans to delay them. They may have a point. J.J. and Victor start the race after them and later get delayed by Blake and Fenderbaum's sabotage. However, just before the sabotage and the next time we see them, Blake and Fenderbaum are ''behind'' J.J. and Victor.
