This definitely helped in keeping the comedy fresh and welcomed, as well as making Rat Race an enjoyable ensemble comedy.

There was a little confusion with the vast amounts of jumping around from character to character and story to story, but it wasn’t a harsh editing job — the viewer got a sense of the flow from scene to scene.But I have a bad feeling this will be yet another Paramount catalog title that doesn’t get a release here in Canada (we’ve missed out on a lot lately).

The tycoon and his wealthy friends monitor each racer's every move to keep track of their favorites. A theatrical trailer in non-anamorphic widescreen is also shown (which had me rolling in the theater, but not so much now). I laughed so hard that I cried the first 3 times times I viewed that scene and the first time I Iaughed for so long that I lost my breath and thought I was gonna die lol. The narcoleptic is avoided for a goodly portion of the film, and so when in the end, everything came together, there is the sense that there should have been a little more equality in each of the teams.It's well amplified and aggressive at times, reminiscent, to be sure, of its era of big audio versus subtle output. From the very beginning, Zucker found a way to introduce each of the characters and their personalities quite well, and even though he had so many different characters to balance, he did a good job overall. Furthermore, he never allowed any character (supporting or otherwise) to become overexposed to the point where they became annoying or unfairly dominant.
