Story Synopsis:
Renegade auto racers from all walks of life come together for The Gumball Rally. It’s the “illegal” coast-to-coast road race that pits a company president, college professor, a couple of housewives, an amorous Italian Grand Prix champ and a host of other zanies against one another in a race against the clock and the ever-present cranky police chief trying to spoil the high-speed fun. Great stunts coordinated by director Chuck Bail, gorgeous cross-country scenery and a fine cast make The Gumball Rally a treat for auto racing fans.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture, framed at 2.45:1, takes place mostly outdoors, with generally natural, though dated, color fidelity. Colors are rich and warm, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Interior scenes are often wanting in clarity. Images are generally sharp and detailed, though sometimes hazy, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Minor noise is apparent, as are artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural that sounds bright and strident throughout.
