I'm surprised people didn't like the film, and I mean like outright hated it. I saw the film as an extension of the cartoon series, and lets forget that this film had a comparatively small budget compared to most blockbusters. That being said the fact they achieved what they did visually withe film is nuckin futs, and as a film maker myself, you'd be stupid not to see this film for what it is. A simple, slightly cliche story, well told with pretty decent actors and redonkulous visuals. Props.
@benzlover55 I loved that movie. :< I really wish the Wachowski Bros. would do more movies based on cartoon properties. Especially movies based on 60s anime. Or even later in to the 80s. If only they had gotten their hands on Dragonball instead of whoever it was that made DB:EVOLUTIONS, a movie that makes the original Japanese live-actions films (see Dragonball the magic begins) look like Doctor Zhivago.
@PH03N1XM4N Not this one, they overhauled it completely and they did a terrible job of it. Plus, when I saw the movie, I found it boring. And it's not just me, it was not received well by critics or by Smosh.

well the movie were good but didn´t give the escensence of the original serie and it looks very coloured wich it gaves an infantile touch, that´s all liked me of the movie
The movie was Spy-Kids meets Fast & the Furious as directed by Sam Raimi. I came out of the theater in a daze. But I've come to love this flick. Luna124--I also have that CD. The music here ROCKS, but the singing is aweful. My Dream cartoon song covers are both for SMASHMOUTH to do versions of Spider-Man(not like the o.k. version by the otherwise great Aerosmith) and of course, Speed Racer. Both would be SLAMMIN'!!!
@Velocity9s I can understand the daze. I didn't see it in theaters but the first time I saw I had no idea what to think of it. I couldn't say it was bad but I didn't exactly like it cause it wasn't what I pictured speed racer being. Still I saw it often and each time I liked it just a tiny bit more. And it was one of those few movies I could see often without being bored.
@mrsnid The movie was actually really good. But yes, the song was made years ago for the Saturday Morning Cartoons CD ... I have that CD and it's awesome.

@GrigoriZhukov the engine didn't drive people insane. I twas a long time ago but I remember that the engine was so powerful you had to take a drug to drive it, and the drug had a weird side effect that made the racer afriad of speed without. That is if we're both thinking of the same episode. Drugs in a sport to improve performance... the show was ahead of its time I guess.
@GadGades Like you I have not seen that episode in...uh 20years? But I don't recall any drugs needed. Funny thing iirc didn't Pops actually design a motor more powerful than that one and promptly bury it in the yard because it was "too powerful"?
@GrigoriZhukov well I did a search for it, and I found what I was talking about in wikipedia. It's called the GRX. My guess is you're thinking about this engine/car when you think about a fast engine Pop's develops cause this one is buried but not created by pops. I could be wrong cause I don't remember that specifically. I can't confirm it but Hulu has the episode free to watch.
@wwgt Actually, if you think this is anything but a pedestrian & predictable flattening of cartoon classic with zero dynamics then you are probably the dummy.
even though it didn't make a lot of movie, i must say this is one of the most faithful anime adaptations i have seen in a long time. one of my favorite movies now!
you need to make one where it has the whole begining part b4 the chores and then cut in the part of the movie where his mom says you just take my breath away and than go into the chorus how awesome would that be
Okay really guys, I like rock as much as the next guy, but this doesn't even have a tune to it. By far the worst version of this song as far as I've heard. Wanna hear a GOOD version? Go listen to the one Stan Bush did. THAT'S music. This isn't a good Speed Racer theme, period. Just...No. The tune isn't there, the singer sounds offkey for the notes that are even remotely close to the original...just no.
Everything but the vocals are good... The vocals nearly killed this for me, then the guitar came in with the main part of the original song... That made me happy...
this movie was awesome, one time during the movie i had a seizure cause of all the lights, but i didn't pass out, so when Speed was at the last race, i was tapping my foot like crazy..just like what Speed did at the opening scene of the movie
ALRIGHT!! XD the future song, well i call it the future song cuz it's from speed racer y2k or X, whatever u wanna call it. I love this song, it's more techno than the original. don't get me wrong, i like the original too. and the mach 5 in the Y2K or X series is amazing!!
I remember first hearing this song years ago, on a CD called "Saturday Morning Cartoons" where a bunch of famous artists/ bands did a cover song for old style cartoons. Think that Sublime did Hong Kong Fuuie(?). But this was the best song out of the whole CD. So take it for what it's worth, cause it could be worse.
I agree hahahaahah im still going to go see it it would have been better if the japanese made it they dont throw in lame jokes line from the movie - Is that a ninja -Trixie More like a nanja - Pops horrible just horrible but like i said if it was made by the japanese it would be better (cough cough initial D real movie)
I'd rather they use DJ Keoki for the soundtrack, judging from the preview it seems to fit it better. Besides, it sounds like Sponge didn't even get enough of a sugar rush from their saturday morning cereal before playing this song, sounds reeally limp.
I think a good deal of it is the conversion from whatever format you use that YouTube converts to flv. I haven't uploaded anything yet that didn't suffer video quality because of it. However, I'm not complaining because 1. It's free, and 2. It's free. LOL
this movie rocks i loved it i wished they would have a digi 3d version fro blu ray id wear it out this movie rules go speed racer go
