Speed Racer

Posted March 27th, 2008 by 1phantom70

I just saw a trailer on tv for a live action Speed Racer movie. John Goodman is Speed Racer's dad. I didn't recognize anyone else in it. It appears to be fairly CG heavy.

It appears that the movie isn't doing well in the theatres.

seen it and i thought it was really really good!

dont hate on speed racer

i'm actually was quite tempted to see it but i changed my mind everytime 'cause i had other stuff to do. but just looking at it, it looks really good. it is CGI heavy but to get stuff like that, they had to use it.

I'm not hating on Speed,

I'm not hating on Speed, just read some of my other posts on the topic. I was just saying that they are only expecting to barely break even on the movie. It didn't become a huge deal like they wanted it to be.I'm not going to trash a movie I haven't seen, I know better.

In the speed racer movie the car is the mach 6. This is wrong it is supposed to be the mach 5.

mach 5

On May 16th, 2008 illidan16 says:

he used the mach 5 through out the whole movie. the only reason he used the mach 6 because he didnt have a car for the last race. u would know that if u watched the movie!

On March 29th, 2008 1 Lazy Ninja says:

although the movie is mainly CG, it still looks like a good movie. I think that it would be funny if they put the old theme music in the new movie. HA! (not really)

They've probably already

On March 30th, 2008 1phantom70 says:

They've probably already found The Next Big Thing In Music and had that band ( whoever they are, we'll know soon!) do a remake of the old music so it could be tucked in there somewhere.

i saw that when i saw about

On March 27th, 2008 yoshimitsu23 says:

i saw that when i saw about the live action dbz movie...there both going to be awsome.i hope racerx is there.

"people do not need violence to solve there problems."

You can't have a Speed Racer

On March 27th, 2008 1phantom70 says:

You can't have a Speed Racer movie without Racer X.

i would agree with you there

On March 27th, 2008 yoshimitsu23 says:

i would agree with you there speed racer and racer x is awsome.racer x is his brother though right.

"people do not need violence to solve there problems."

yes. "Unbekownst to Speed

On March 28th, 2008 1phantom70 says:

yes. "Unbekownst to Speed Racer is that Racer X is actually his older brother who left home years ago to be the best racer. " or something like that was in the old Speed Racer intro on the anime, if I remember correctly.

yup yup that was it

On April 1st, 2008 yoshimitsu23 says:

yup yup that was it exactly,you nailed right on the head.i love speed racer...whats another good old fashon anime??

"people do not need violence to solve there problems."

AstroBoy is a good old one.

On April 1st, 2008 1phantom70 says:

AstroBoy is a good old one. like, REAL old one. I think Kikaider came out a while back as well, looks kinda like Speed Racer in style, but has more of a solid story to it.

yea i see your point...but

On April 2nd, 2008 yoshimitsu23 says:

yea i see your point...but the point i was making was there coming out with a live action astro boy as well as speed racer.
