The Gumball Rally (1976)

The SEVENTH entry in our Wacky Races mini-series is (somewhat?) at the mid-point of our ever-growing exploration of ensemble movies centered on a competition where the rules of the game break the rules of society.  Wade & Siggy discuss the welcome spirit The Gumball Rally brings to the genre, how conflicts that are set up but never come into play are just fine, the raw sexuality of Raúl Juliá, where has Tricia O'Neal been all our lives, a novel way of mooning people, and ticking off more boxes of the series' use of elements from Spy Hunter.  GUMBALL!!!!

SENSITIVITY WARNING:  This episode includes discussion of the film's use of the threat of sexual assault. 

Next Episode: Scavenger Hunt (1979)
