Speed Zone (also known as Cannonball Run III, Cannonball Fever, One for the Money and Speedzone Fever) is a 1989 American action comedy film[2] set around an illegal cross-country race (inspired by the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash). The film is the third and final installment of the Cannonball Run trilogy and a sequel to The Cannonball Run (1981) and Cannonball Run II (1984). The plot follows the race sponsors, who must line up new contestants after the previous racers are all arrested before the race begins.

The film stars four alumni of SCTV: John Candy, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty and Don Lake. The cast also includes Donna Dixon, Matt Frewer, Tim Matheson, Mimi Kuzyk, Melody Anderson, Shari Belafonte, Dick and Tom Smothers, Peter Boyle, Alyssa Milano, John Schneider, Brooke Shields, Michael Spinks, Lee Van Cleef, Harvey Atkin, Brian George, Art Hindle, Louis Del Grande, Carl Lewis and Richard Petty.
