Cannonball Run, The Easter Egg - Doctor DeLuise?

While Burt Reynolds is trying to convince Farrah Fawcett to stay, Dom Deluise says "And just think. We have a professional physician on board in case someone gets...swamp fever." In "Smokey and the Bandit 2", Dom plays a doctor who is first seen treating someone for, you guessed it, swamp fever. Both films starred Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise, were directed by Hal Needham, and were written by Brock Yates.
