Dom Delouise with Bardahl Sticker from Cannonball Run 1981

Dom Delouise was a classic 20th century superstar comedian.  He made big guys cool.  Here he is standing in front of a Bardahl checker flag sticker in the garage.


Cannonball Run - Livery Colours

 The finish line colours for the Cannonball Run were orange, red, and yellow.   The Cannonball Run 1981 is a standard Hollywood 80s starlet shuffle of personalities jammed into a cartoonish road race carried by charisma and cheesy jokes.  Certainly a new star comedy cheese run is in order. There is total need for this type of tacky starlet cheese run comedy to balance the serious action drama, call the 21 Jumpstreet rebooters!

You can see Burt letting out a steady stream of champagne at the winners line.  Note that the streamer pennants are red, orange, and yellow as are the decorated tables.

Orange was the it colour of the early 1980s, especially in 1981.  Amazingly Hollywood seems to encourage breaking the law in this movie, how naughty! Speeding is breaking the law.





Coincidentally the Latitude and Longitude flags of Vancouver use these colours.  In this case red represent one, orange represents two, yellow represents three, green represents four, and pink represents nine.  Thus at 123 Degrees West and 49 Degrees North there is the lovely city of Vancouver.  Why not a Canadian Cannonball Run?

Beer Fest flag from the movie Strange Brew 1983

Ya' can see a couple of colourful flags in Strange Brew during the beer festival.  They gots all kinds of neat bright colours, eh? 

Strange Brew is like totally tacky fun 80s Canadian style.  Don't be hoser and watch this silly movie!  It's stupid funny.

It was here that the genesis of Terrance and Phillip, shined as a glimmer in these two hosers eyes, in rated PG version.






Canadian, British, and Toronto Flags in Strange Brew 1983

 When the hosiest of hosers get hosed in a court room, we get to see the Canadian flag, Toronto flag, and UK flag. 
 
Oddly the UK flag switches up during the court proceedings.  Originally its a UK flag but then the Canadian Court Flag changers switches it up with the Toronto flag. 
Strange Brew is a classic all Canadian favored fun fest.



Flags on the video game "Galactic Border Patrol" from Strange Brew 1983


Unique Strange Canadian Flag in Border Patrol
 
 Hey, you know one of the most goofiest video games made that could use of fine reboot mod is Galactic Border Patrol.  It made its debut and solo appearance in Strange Brew 1983.

Maybe a freemium game is in order.  Strange thing is that the galactic border patrol has ships shaped like flags of the Canadian and US sort.  Strange eh??

Geographic Flag - for the northern tip of Ireland



Strange as it may sound but Northern Ireland is south of a small part of the Republic of Ireland.  This flag is a geographic flag that notes the small northern region of Erin that sees Northern Ireland as "Southern Northern Ireland".


Geographic Flag - for Southern Ireland Only


Another geographic flag for Ireland, but this one is for the region of Ireland south of Northern Ireland in "Southern Ireland".  It is the Trinity Cross flag since there are three crosses on the flag.  The main cross is the white one that represents Christ, the other two are less subdued.  They represent the other two persons who were crucified on that fateful day in history.
