Speed Racer

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.

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


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!

Speedracer is so stupid!

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

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

yoshimitsu23's picture

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

1phantom70's picture

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

i would agree with you there

yoshimitsu23's picture

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

1phantom70's picture

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

yoshimitsu23's picture

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.

1phantom70's picture

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

yoshimitsu23's picture

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.

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

Live action Astroboy too? oh
