Speed Racer - The Movie

Information on the Speed Racer movie that hits the screens May 9th, 2008.

Speed Racer Movie Mach 5

Speed Racer the movie will hit the screens on May 9th, 2008.

From the Wachowski brothers, the creators of “The Matrix” trilogy, and producer Joel Silver, comes the live-action, high-octane family adventure “Speed Racer.” Speed Racer, played by Emile Hirsch, is a natural behind the wheel as he hurtles down the track, careening around, over and through the competition.

Speed was born to race cars! His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer— That's right... Rex Racer who died in a race that was to have left his body spread like peanut butter across 2.57 miles of track. ... supposedly. Rex's death left behind a legacy that little brother Speed is obsessively driven to fill.

Like most Nascar families, Speed is completely loyal to his family racing business, the point of eating Velveeta, hot dogs and chili. Speed's father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5, is the leader of the family business.

THE 2ND TRAILER!! YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!

This is one HELL of a trailer. Better than the first one. As the trailer starts, you got the teacher with the hot English accent, then you have the incredibly SMOKING hot checkered flag chick on that race with the Mach 6 (God I love watching her in micro seconds! Then you got an incredibly colorful pan of the audience. There is a ton of color in this movie. Check out the opening scene with Susan Sarandon in school, there's color everywhere. Speed's green desk as a kid, and the opening shot of the city! Jesus H. Jahosifat! What a city! Tons of color and it all works PERFECTLY AWESOMELY well. And that Mach 6 car is starting to grow on me. Those headlights are just too cool.

Tons of cool action. Everything about this movie just hemorrhages top notch transition from anime to live action. This is one HELL of a good job. Awesome action. Starting with that peel out, and don't miss that lateral flip with the Mach 5... yes the Mach 5. You have to look closely to distinguish when he's in either car. AND.. did you check out the dome on his car, in the rain?! I just love it when he uses those little buttons on his steering wheel! Yeah, he looks a little constipated when he's in a close up and he's racing.. but we all do in the same situation when driving home from work on the freeway, stuck behind a slow driver, but it's still awesome.

And that night ride with Racer X and the Shooting Star next to Speed, GOD.. Mathew Fox is just... FREAKISHLY PERFECT for Racer X. I just can't flippin wait... Check out Trixie's boots in her little pink copter. Hot hot hot! And then there's that hot black chick with the wicked 70's fro and the cannon! ... I thought it was a Desert Eagle .50 Magnum but it looks more like a flare gun. And that desert race... has the flavor of Anikan in those stupid Jet Pod Racer thingies, but it still rocks. Totally like the cartoons, with those mace balls and chains from that one car (signature bad guy move) to the spinning tread shredder, to button D which puts on another tire in mid air... god you gotta love it. ... and did you catch those wicked spikes in the middle of the race track? Jesus... these people want to see blood on the track. Friggen gladiator audiences these days.

 

Speed Racer Movie Trailer

 

The lowdown on the story line

When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret—some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits.

If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival—the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)—to win the race that had taken his brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

But wait... If you look closely, you'll see that Speed really isn't driving the Mach 5. Throughout the trailer, most of the images are of the Mach 6.

Speed Racer, theory on the Mach 6

So here's the deal. I think that Pops has already moved on past the Mach 5 and has created a bigger badder Mach 6 that's something between a stealth fighter and some James Bond car. You can figure out which images are the Mach 6 by the spoiler on the back along with a big ol' #6 on the side of the car. There's a lot of other items as well, but most of you guys are too busy looking for porn to really care.

So, the theory, Speed is now driving the suped up Mach 6 and is winning races, blah blah blah, tons of babes etc., but all he wants is more petal and more metal. My bet is that Speed get's approached by a big mega corporation called Royalton Industries, of course they are the baddies, and they want Speed to roll over for them.

But, knowing the good ol' American, apple pie character that popped out of old-school anime, that Speed is, he of course refuses. So, what do they do? They blow up his car, along with some sort of bravado statement like, "If you won't drive for us you'll never drive again Speed. Ha ha ha! And you thought you were going to win. When you grow up, come crawling back to us and we just might let you change our oil." You know how it goes.

So then, Speed goes back to his family, they are all bummed, and Spritle, Speed's little brother, or Chim Chim, Spritle's pet monkey that likes to play doctor, comes up with an idea, something like this, "Speed, whydon'tyoudrivetheMach5?!Youknowhowmuchyoulovethatcar!" Remember how fasted those characters talked? The Family Guy did a small spoof on Speed and they nailed the Speed-speek.

So, as my theory goes, Speed says, "Great Idea Chim Chim!" but Sparky, their trusty mechanic who does all the work, should say something like, "But SPEED! The transmission's shot, you ruined one of your buzzer blades and we can't find that remote control bird the last time you took the Mach 5 to Vegas! We'll never get it fixed in time for the big race to show those Royalton bastards who's boss!"

Then Speed is supposed to get the car fixed with a burst of supreme optimism and a couple cases of Red Bull where he then speeds through town to get to the race, of course arriving late, but still managing to work his way up to the #3 position, #1 is held by a baddie and #2 is most likely Racer X, shhhhh, you know who. So Racer X could win but he instead decides to take out the lead Hydra driver allowing Speed to win. Think of Han Solo helping Luke out as he fires his lazers into an exaust shaft no larger than the size of a womp rat on Tatooine.

But hey.. .it'sjustatheory,whaddaIknow?
