A cross-country road race is based on an actual event, the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, organized by Brock Yates to protest the 55 mph speed limit then in effect in the U.S. The Cannonball was named for Erwin G. "Cannonball" Baker, who in the roaring 20's rode his motorcycle across the country. Many of the characters are based on ruses developed by real Cannonball racers over the several years that the event was run.
Movie The Cannonball Run
Two women wear tight catsuits throughout the film. When they are stopped by police, one woman unzips her suit to reveal her cleavage to the officer so she doesn't get a ticket. She later tries this trick again and we get a shot of her large boobs in a bra after she unzips her outfit.
When the Sheik is ordering food, he becomes distracted by the cleavage of the waitress, who is leaning over. As he stares at her boobs, he orders 'two milks'.
