This article states that Speed Zone is also known as Cannonball Run 3. By whom is it "known" as Cannonball Run 3? The production team is all different. Was it the same studio?

I'd like to add this to the main Cannonball Run article as a sequel, but would prefer not to until I can find a verifiable source that this movie is related to the first two.

• There are a number of sites out there that explain alternate titles that were used to market the film in many places outside the U.S. It's not really a debatable point that it was, in fact, also known as Cannonball Run III. What's debatable is the central question of "why." In any case, imdb is pretty reliable on stuff such as alternate titles, and there were movie posters made that also attest to this.

• I know this is a long after-the-fact response, but it's not uncommon for films with tenuous or no connection to earlier entrie to be marketed as "sequels" or be named "(Title) II". The fact Speed Zone actually takes place at a Cannonball Run event and has a cameo-heavy all-star cast certainly makes it a spiritual successor, and you don't need to have anyone connected with the original involved. (Which is why so often these sorts of semi-sequels are usually pretty bad and fail.) The question not answered by this article, is whether Speed Zone was ever "officially" considered a sequel or followup to the two Cannonball films, or if this was something added later. There is precedent for a connection to be made without approval - the 1970s film Jabberwocky directed by Terry Gilliam was released against his wishes as Monty Python's Jabberwocky, but this branding was later removed; it got it because Gilliam and star Michael Palin were involved with Python, but labelling the film as a Python movie was a senseless as doing the same with Gilliam's later movies like Brazil and Fisher King. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 21:24, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

The title of this article is mistakenly called "Speed Zone!" The actual title of the film is simply "Speed Zone" with no punctuation. Any official listing of the film title (including in the film itself) excludes any usage of an exclamation point. Any reference of "Speed Zone!" in this article of in the title of this article itself should be corrected. Harry Yelreh (talk) 21:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
