Speed Zone!, also known as Cannonball Fever, released in 1989, is the third and (as of 2006) final installment of the Cannonball Run series of movies. Like the first two films, this film is a comedy set around an illegal cross-country race, except this time, the premise is that all the racers get arrested before the race begins, and all the sponsors have to line up new racers in a hurry!
Speed Zone! stars many alumni of SCTV, including John Candy, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, and Donna Dixon.
Jamie Farr cameos as "Shiek Abdul ben Falafel", who says in an interview that he is retiring from racing. Farr and his character are the only actor and character to appear in all three films of the Cannonball Run movie universe.
