User reviews Review. Top review. Better As Spectacle Than Comedy. The Great Race has been described as live action cartoon, and that is when it's comedy is at it's most appealing. In the opening minutes Prof fate and Max Lemmon and Falk endure cartoonish falls, crashes and explosions, and the comparison to old WB cartoons is apt. Then we get into the plot , and as soon as the racers hit the American west, machinations of the characters take over and the slapstick falters.
By the time the story reaches the mythical kingdom of Potsdorf or something , the plot is dragging the film down badly. It mostly limps home from there. The thing that makes the film watchable is the spectacle, faux early 20th century costuming, stunt work and attention to detail, all of which are outstanding. This is one of the better looking comedies you will ever see, with bright colors everywhere and confident and elaborate staging. It almost doesn't matter that it's not really very funny.
FAQ 4. Is this movie based an an actual event? Was "The Great Race" eventually turned into a cartoon series? Were they real cars? Are they still around?
