  • That's why i never watched the movie. I prefer the cartoon. Or a real movie, with true action. This is a movie for kids. I wish a real action movie!

  • the people who like this movie dont really get what it means to fans of the origonal anime series. Ive never watched the anime but i just dont like it when American directors take an anime put in some fancy explosions, sfx, pretty lights, make it 3D and put in teenage "actors" as the main roles and say "yep thats based off an anime i bet its just as good". Pretty lights and cheesy teen drama lines does not remake a classic in anyway.

  • I'm just sayin, but...you suck at making videos and your reasoning behind hating the movie is retarded. I bet they didn't want to completely remake the cartoon, so they added to it and put in the next step in the story, which is awesome for those of us that aren't ancient like you must be. Also, the mach 5 is a load of shit compared to the upgraded and obviously better "mach 6." I'm just sayin.

  • This movie should have won a Oscar for best animation in 2008!

  • wow, fail. If you don't know why it was the Mach 6, you obviously didn't see the movie, or you weren't paying attention...and it's supposed to be cartoonish, that was the whole point...

  • it was the Mach 6 because the Mach 5 was wrecked, that was the end of the movie when he uses the Mach 6 you idiot

  • I know why Speed Racer make any money as they expect to the box Office! Ironman was release at the same time!

    Speed Racer is a relly good movie! I'm happy to watch this kind of movie sometime!

  • it is about racing, it just so happends the mach five is the best

  • It wasn't a box-office favorite,but Hot-wheels and the game backed it up.

  • @TransforWhores

    Bad timing.

  • Do u know where i can get the old movies off speed racer? And the car with a 6 is a new car, does it have to be the mach 5?

  • thanks for the info :) Didnt know that :D

  • pffffffftttttt..... such a bad review..... and such bad reason for it..... for me i think it was great considering how they use the graphics and everything. what i don't like is the cartoonist but then again, the cartoon speed racer is similar to the movie soo it was good. everything doesn't need to be realistic to be a good movie.

  • What!? This moie is cool even though I only seen it on bootleg on my computer

  • x3

    @

  • i like the mach5 and the mach6 and the

    shooting star[x's car]

  • I didn't like this movie. I love live-action-cartoon style movies, but the the flashbacks were confusing and the landscapes were excessively processed and sometimes just ugly. The dialogue was bad, but they did have some good acting, like John Goodman and Christina Ricci, and I liked some of the scenes, like the scene where Pops fights that ninja and he swirls him around in the air like on the cartoon. To make a long story short though I was really disappointed with this movie.

  • Well, there was flashbacks in the cartoon too.

  • So your main points are:

    A) The whole movie should be about the Mach 5; and

    B) It should have been "realistic".

    My response to both those points is:

    A) The movie should be about the CHARACTERS (and the Mach 5 is in it for a majority of the race scenes...you gotta take creative license when making movies); and

    B) There's nothing "realistic" about cars with jump jacks - you can't dump on the film for being visionary.

  • Speed racer is a fucking good movie. The race are like i was playing myself with my hotwheel car when i was young child :P

  • if u really paid attention you would see that the mach 5 is in the house of the racer family becuase speed gets the mach 6 as a gift!

  • because rex's car is the mach 5

    but he gave it to speed

    it's a plot reason.

    and when he got in the grand prix

    as a special gift his dad built a mach 6

    it was officially speed's car. (even though in the anime, his ca was mach 5) but oh well lot of things changed in the movie..

    it's such a good movie.!

  • actule the mach 5 did not get destorde it had iligle stuff that is why they built the mach 6

  • stupid nigger.

    this was easily movie of the year.

  • didnt ironman come out around this time?

  • Yeah Iron Man came out a week or two before this.

  • Dude, did you actually saw the movie? Or are you just reviewing the movie based on the trailer? (I think this guy is reviewing the trailer ftw!?).

    Okay here's the fkng reason about the 6 on the car: In the movie, the Mach 5 gets destroyed in the Rally so they had to build a better car and that was the Mach 6 -.-' geez!

    Im tired of seeing bad reviews about Speed Racer, this movie delivers a whole new experience to the cinematic feeling, the plot was really good and the effects were just awesom

  • yeah youre right man Speed racer is a fucking good movie

  • is that ur whole fucking complaint?!?!?! that it deosnt have the mach 5 that much?!?!!?!?.....wow so many stupid fucking ppl in this world

  • I would take this video off seing as how there is a lot of the Mach 5 in the movie. The Mach 6 as well. Your point is invalid.

  • the mach 5 is his driving car he has a diferent mach 5 for racing which gets destroyed and this was a great movie that will earn all of its money in about 10 years

  • Are you stupid Speed Racer looked awsum as a cartoonish-realive movie.If you really are a fan you would love the movie the way it is and not degrade it!

  • what the hell is that movie. it sucks and i hate it. half the time i didnt get the movie.

  • Idiot...the mach five was in the Caso Cristo race and that race was f***ing awsum in case you didn't notice

  • idiot it is the Mach 5

  • This movie is kicks ass! it was awsome!  I loved the vikings!

  • dont give a crap on the ho;e mach 5/6 thing. everyone who does just shutup & enjoy the movie. its suposed to be for fun.

  • The Mach 5 is a street car ment for races like Caso Cristo.The Mach 6 is a race car for the racing legue.Like the Mach 4 it was Rex's racing car.

  • u have to watch the movie to fkn understand it i mean yes theres a mach 6 yes speed racer is al about the mach5 but if u watch it it tells u why they loose a race and they get taken to court and they loose the mach5 and its wasnt fast enough for the grand prix so they made the mach 6 and entered the mach6 because it was faster.... dnt judge a movie before u watch it for one and i wuld like to see u do better.... srsly its a good movie its a good cartoon its good over all full stop ending.

  • Did you even WATCH the movie? The Mach 5 is a Grand Prix car, as it was in the cartoon series. It seems the sport had evolved into more of a "F-Zero" format where the Mach 5 wouldnt last one lap, hence the Mach 6. BTW, did you notice the name of the movie (and the cartoon, for that matter)? It's called "Speed Racer" isn't it? Or did they rename it "Mach 5"? Yeah it's not the original cartoon but it's not a bad movie. 1 more thing: The original Japanese version of the theme song is better than..

  • 1:53-Correct. it does look like a 5. but no,i've watched the movie and all it said was Mach 6.

  • have to say i agree.loved th original cartoon(used to draw th mach5 all the time, wanted to push the buttons on the steering wheel) of course they had to make a mach6, dont they always have to do better than somebody whose done it best? its fitting that hotwheels has the rights. remember growing up loving matchbox, picking it out by the number opening the box and sliding out a perfect detailed new car, then came hot wheels,tacky colors,mis-shapened. the mach5 is a matchbox, the mach6, a htwheels

  • they didn't forget the mach 5 towards thto the end they turn the mach 5 to the mach 6 because it was more powerful than the mach 5 and the movie was great try seeing the movie first and then try making this vid.

  • my brother like speed racer

  • por que o te callas la boca ese programa era una prqurria suetrer q aparecio la pelicula y al menos mas gente ve algo llamado speed racer asi que callate y primwero mira la pelicula b*****

  • if you saw the movie you would know that they bulid the mach-6 in the Movie. Watch the movie first guiness

  • 1:53, it actualley is the mach 5. look close at where a 5 could connect lines to make a 6. that connecting line isnt actualley there. optical illusion!

  • I don't want fights.

    I just want to voice my opinion, k?

    I loved it.

    I watched the cartoon when I was a wee little babe, and it actually sufficed nicely.

    I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and totally full of rainbows :]

    I do admit, in the beginning I was like

    "Oh wow, it's so colorful...and...um"

    But a couple minutes after the beginning I was hooked :D

    So I don't want people commenting me about blah blah blah. I'm just voicing an opinion, k?

    Thanks for the upload!

  • wasn't the shot of the mach 6 in the tailer taken toward the end of the movie?

  • I saw it twice already. I'm a fan of the old show, but I'm open-minded. I went into the theater expecting this movie to be a little different. True, I would've loved to see more of the Mach 5, but at least it was in best race of the movie. Still, you gotta admit that the T-180 cars were cool as hell.

    I loved this movie. Some flashback scenes of Speed racing with the Mach 5 would've made it better, though.

  • Loved this movie! The visuals are fantastic, something different for a change, and the whole thing was way more fun than I anticipated. I took my 5 year-old, and on that point I have some regret, as I think the violence was a bit much for youngsters, I'm thinking the one scene with the gangsters threatening to throw a racer in the pirhana tank. Otherwise, just some ninja style fighting, all very cartoon style. I'd recommend for ages 7 and up...good family values and loads of fun!

  • -_- Why is it not booming at the box office?... hm... Let's think. Because it has a PG rating, good clean violence, strong moral advertisements, a happy ending, humor, a loving family, and no sex scenes.

    Get used to it.

    That's the kind of world we live in. Where sex and violence sell the best. That's why it's not booming at the box office.

    There's your answer.

    Moving on.

    I loved the movie. Really... it's amazing. I think it's a breakthrough.

  • Well I did care a little, but what I'm trying to get at is that it really didn't change the movie. The Mach 5 and the Mach 6 were really similar. They only looked different (besides the fact that the Mach 6 can go faster). Fans of the original anime series might complain a bit about this but that doesn't stop this movie from being great. I didn't hate this movie. In fact it is one of my favorite movies. The visuals were just stunning and it was just an outstanding movie. Go see it, it's great.

  • I loved this movie, lots of explosions, addrenaline.

    But it has alot of stuff that can cause seivures.

  • well Mach 6 wants to be more futuristik then mach 5 so wtf its better and cooler

  • Ok. FYI... dude... Watch the actual movie. It does star the Mach 5. They build the Mach 6 when the other BLOWS UP. As in it's NOT DRIVABLE anymore... mmkay?... so get off your high horse and appreciate the movie. And Racer X. :D

    Thank you for time and attention.

    It was funny to watch... but I think you're reading too much into it.

  • Who cares if they changed to the Mach 6 in the end.

  • also if i remember correctly in the cartoon speed had several cars but the mach 5 was his favorite so big deal if there was a mach 6 at the end.

  • i really liked the movie. i remember the cartoon as a kid and how crazy the world of speed racer was... cars doing amazing stunts, maneuvers that i could only dream about, and everything in the world revolving around racing, and i think the movie did a great job at portraying that

  • *clears throat*

    at 1:51 when he says that it is a six, if you look closely, it is a five. it only looks like a six because of the angle.

    god this old guy is a dumb ass.

    -_-'

  • HAHAHAHA!!!! *high five's!*

  • LOTS OF FUN...VISUALLY DAZZLING. You have to think...most of us are quite pleased with ourselves after we hang a framed poster in the hall, or stop that leak. Look what these guys do. THis is heavy duty razzle dazzle...and remember ..it's a kids film. That's massively obvious when you watch it. I caught the imax presentation...couldn't believe that two grown men got into a fight in the last two rows during the beginning...so lame. Kid to my right cried because he didn't have his baloons...jeez.

  • The movie was awesome. you are not.

  • Uhh......the Mach 5 is in one of the longest sequences of the movie. And is put through far more grueling paces than the Mach 6. Yeah, I would've prefered only the Mach 5 be in the flick, but the Mach 6 grew on me some.

    But the Mach 5 showed what it was made of....and it wasn't destroyed. Banged up by the end of the cross country race? Yep. But no more so than the Mach 6.

    Didn't think I was gonna like this movie after the trailer....but it was a helluva start for the summer movie season!

  • I agree with you zennie62. I've always wanted a mach 5, and all the people saying "the people ragging on it don't know what they're talking about" are wrong. it was SUPPOSED to be EXACTLY like the show, but with real people, and maybe more fluid speech; it wasn't supposed to be this bullshit fake special effects shit like every other action movie as of recent.

  • If this movie was trying to make less than half the profit it has already, then maybe they would have made it EXACTLY LIKE THE SHOW. No one really gives a shit if it's exactly the same or not. This movie is original and entertaining. The special effects are unlike any other movie I have seen, so you are 500% WRONG in the assumption that its just like every other action movie. WATCH THE MOVIE IN THEATERS.

  • I really don't care anything about the Mach 5, I've been going to this movie every single night since the opening night only for Rain. OMG, RAIN IS THE REAL STAR OF THIS SHOW!! Screw the Mach 5. My friend went to go see the movie for Rain and the G.O.D cameo...THIS MOVIE IS A DREAM COME TRUE!! Rain is the best!!

  • Speed racer the Fan project yeah!!!

  • ******Spoiler:

    In the movie, the Mach 5 is destroyed, and Pops, Sparky, Speed, etc... have to rebuild from scratch, which they name the "Mach 6." This is why you see "6" rather than "5." The Mach 6 is actually faster and stronger than the Mach 5.

    And the movie was awesome. Forget all reviews in which people unjustly rag on it. It was nothing but fun, and those people don't know how to just have fun. I also recommend sitting really close to the screen (like 4 or 5 rows from away).

  • Thank you, someone who understands, the movie rules, I love the special effects, and I give it a 10 out of 5 stars!!!

  • When I saw the trailer before the movie but I thought it would be a total failure of a movie. I sat through the first 30 minutes thinking "THIS IS THE LAMEST THING EVER". But this is a great movie. So to those of you who think it sucks and you haven't even seen it, get off your couch in the basement in front of your Xbox 360 playing halo 3, see the movie, and then tell me how much you were wrong. K?

  • i understand how you feel (not about the realistic thing i think it is fine and you just want to complain more.) but whether you want to believe it or not without the mach 6 the movie will have failed, and it was a great movie, besides the mach 6 is better and new, and the movie was about making speed racer better and new.

  • I hated the cussing!!! I wish I wouldn't have taken my seven year old. There were a few words I would have rather him not heard. They will probably excuse sex in PG soon, the way the movie ratings are headed. It was disappointing!

  • Understandable but if you do some research you may find that it has been said there is indecent language, plus this is not the only PG movie with indecent language,so people may argue that you were careless, however i disagree, i must also mention in the preview in trailers there are fighting and guns, how is that any different then indecent language? And another thing to point out, you child most likely hears worse at school.

  • It's about Speed Racer and the racer family who try to race honest in a World were Racing is everything and is run by big corporations who will do anything to win. The car is important but it is people who make good stories not cars planes etc.

  • To ALL OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE AND ARE BITCHING ABOUT THE MACH 6:

    The Mach 5 WAS in the movie, but because Speed put modifications on it which were illegal concerning the Grand Prix. HENCE THEY HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER CAR, and they called it the mach 6. Don't judge this movie if you haven't seen it.

  • So in your opinion if they could have used the mach 5 should they have?

  • omg, they DID USE THE MACH 5!! Have you SEEN the movie?! The Mach 6 was in it for like 20 minutes! The mach 5 was Speed's car for the first like 2 hours of the movie.

  • seriously... the mach 6 was only used for a small portion. maybe you actually watch the movie instead of base it off of the trailer.

  • i know i saw the movie i am talking about for the last race

  • If you've seen the movie then you know why there is a 6 there.

  • Whos cares if its a 5 or a 6 you pathetic nerd!!! get a life ahahah

  • I am so glad they named the car Mach 6, the Mach 5 was so slow in the cartoon.

  • YAY! speed racer is awesomeeee! glad you all watched it :D

  • they make a new car because mach 5 gets mest up and tey make a faster one that is more improve and thats mach 6

  • if it was about the mach 5 it wouldn't be called speed racer it would be called mach 5

  • Just saw this. It was amazing, especially the special effects and the colors. Before I saw this, I had doubts. Now, I'm definitely glad I went to see this.

  • just saw it. I thought it was a new, bright, and fresh approach, with a great story line. Great movie!

  • this movie will fail at the box office because of people like you who make false conclusions without even seeing the movie.

  • SPOILER ALERT: i watched the movie and the mach 5 crashed and thay rebuilt it and called it the mach 6

  • errrrtttttttttt! wrong!the m. 5 is his road and rally car.m. 6 is a track car

  • ur eyes are failing u man.....

  • da mach 5 got taken away from im

  • omgggg WHAT A MOVIEEEEE IT WAS SOOOO FREAKIN AWESOMEEE AND SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • wow, who cares? I can hardly believe i watched this entire video, some grown man complaining that the number on the "MACH 5" is wrong.

  • fuck the critics, critics want us to return to reality shit. which we don't want, we want to Escape from reality

  • Speed Racer reminded me of Sin City because it was so different.

    This movie is definitely unique and all the tight ass stiff critics are complaining. If you have an exciting bone in your body, you will love it.

    If you are a miserable jackass who isnt impressed by anything and loves to feel unhappy, stay home. All the people who hate it so far have one thing in common, they are all boring corpses of a human being.

    I am going to see it again and it will be out on Blu Ray by Thanksgiving.

  • The Mach 6 is the new car! If actually watched the freakin' movie you would know that!

  • Just saw it today. Holy shit. If you liked the cartoon, you will love the movie. It's a 2 hour orgy of color and the acting was actually really good. It's got a lot of funny parts, great movie for kids.

    Almost everybody had young children with them and they were cheering a bunch of times, it was great.

    Best end to a movie race, ever.

    By the way, I'm 39 years old.

  • I havent seen the movie yet but I can safely say its going to be amazing.

    Secondly to the commentary on this video... the Mach 5 is in the movie. If I were to guess "The Mach 6" is the new car they introduced so he can compete with all the other racers and there dangerous weapons.

    Ofcourse they wouldnt make Speed Racer without the Mach 5. Thats insane, besides you can see hes driving it in all the footage. the Mach 6 is on ONE race track :P

  • Um, I'm sorry, but did you actually watch the film? O.O

  • this movie is going to be good

  • you can check out the poster. one of the poster show speed on his car, mach 5. you can clearly see the number 5 on the poster.

  • i've watched the movie and i can assure you that the mach 5 is not forgotten.

    it just happened that they created a new car & named it mach 6 (aft 5) with special parts for a reason at the behind parts. check out the movie if you're curious. definitely exciting to watch.

    the mach 5 is definitely featured :)

  • thank you white america for fucking up yet another japanese movie. this looks just as racist as those movies from the 20's depicting black people using white actors.

  • Wait I dont get this statement?

  • Don't be angry that you did not have the funding nor the idea to make, potentially, the best visual SFX ever involved in a movie (Japanese origin or American). And the characters in speed racer (the original cartoon) look Caucasian rather than of any Asian decent. Avian Influenza ass hat.

  • Dumbass. Go see the movie for yourself, then you can tell me that it sucked.

    I don't know what you're talking about but the SFX was really good, pretty mind blowing

  • I dont think it's intended to be racist. You're just saying it's racist cuz the white kid rip down a blackman poster. That could have been ANY race up there, white, asian, latino. You're definitely too sensitive about racism, because if it was my own race that got ripped down, i wouldn't fucking care.

  • Iron Man > Speed Racer

  • That may be true, but Speed Racer>Transformers and I liked transformers.

  • are you sure its a 6? at the last part,the car might be moving too fast and you did not see properly?(just a casual remark.)

  • Seems like people already love it or hate it. Good sign.

  • they changed the number for last race you dumbass....i loved the old tv show and i loved the movie just as much and if you didnt like the tv shows then you woulnt like the movie the wachtowski brothers did great

  • oh dear god, they changed a number!!!!!!!

    ITS RUINED!!!!!!!

    im gonna run and make a video hold on

  • They obviously ruined it. The green screen looks awful and they changed the car.

  • Speed Racer is one of the biggest cartoons in Pop Culture History it will probably blow everything out of the box office on opening night just like the original Spiderman especially if it's being made by the guys who did The Matrix.

  • Heard this movie is so terrible.

  • Instead of listening to other people about the movie go see it for yourself because what other people think is not what you might think. Everyone has their own opinion.

  • The Movie Started Yesterday, You're Comenting and Nobody Has Seen It Yet You Dumbass, Stop Fucking Taking About Something Yu Don't Know Shit About

  • It Was Directed To Ghost162

  • Why would a show that was cartoony and fun be made ultra realistic? It would lose the essence of the original cartoon.

  • wait.. people expect something good from the speed racer franchise. A franchise founded on pure utter suckery?!? the movie was retarded before they even wrote a script for it.

  • You havnt even seen the movie dumbass. The Mach 5 is the main vehicle in the movie, but later he drives the Mach 6. And acually, a realistic Speed Racer would sucks balls, and will change what the show was about, out of this world race car driving with futuristic gadgets. Wait till the movie comes out.

  • This movie suck so bad. I would compare it to cow manure.

  • u friggin idiot! if u knew anything u'd knw tht they Mmade the mach 6 becuz the mach 5 was insefiecient 4 the last race--u jak-tard!!!!hence upgrading the mach5 to the mach6; its a upgrade for the car; do ur ef'n math b4 u jump 2 conclusions,BINGO face!!!

  • Look again..

    number 6 is the first car...

    Mach 5 is incomig...

  • This movie is going to be awesome in 3d!

  • The Commercial makes the movie look like its going to suck, i agree. But It eludes something, the Mach 5 most likely will be the star. If you watch closely it keeps flashing the real Mach 5. This leads me to believe it will have the storyline of one of the first episodes. Speed's dad doesn't want him racing cause of his brother, so speed does it in this Mach 6. Pop Racer then realizes his mistake and helps speed build the Mach 5! If that's not how they did it then yes it will suck!

  • just take a tab of acid and watch the movie....im pretty sure u'll love it

  • ok... you are retarted the mach 5 got mested up and didnt work so they built 6 which is faster and has more gadgets than ever thats what happened google speed racer candy trax and it will show the mach 6

  • ....This movie is great...and no one can review a goddamn movie without seeing the whole move.

  • wow

    you reviewed a Trailer...

    good for you

  • REALISM! Are yopu fucking retarded!? A realistic Speed Racer would SUCK. The ONLY way this movie would work is if they made it ridiculously stylized.

    And the Mach5 is still going to be in the movie. The Mach 6 doesn't come in until about 3/4 into the movie.

  • they built a new car and thats why its a 6

  • You know, I already made a couple points below but I love how this guy doesn't even bother to point out that Racer X's car is in the background of one of the shots and yet the guy talking isn't wearing a mask. I know the trick of that shot but you'd think he'd be more upset about that. Also, I said Mach 8 below...typo, I meant Mach 6. Man, I can't WAIT to see this again.

  • No matter what other people say, there are a LOT of fans of Speed Racer who would want to see this. Not only is it going to revive an old favorite, it lets the fans relive their younger days while watching this. IT IS GOING TO ROCK.

  • That is a five not a six, take a good look. Its obviously Mach 5 the great not some lame 6.

  • define real. this is as real as its going to get. you wouldn't what it looks like real. it looks good this way, it reminds me of the cartoon. thats what most people want. this will be a good movie. tue fans willlike it just cause it's speed racer, i know i'm seeing it

  • One: The Mach 5 is in the movie

    Two: You can get your own if you entered the contest

    Three: Real Speed Racer fans are just happy to see their favorite childhood show on the big screen!

    GO SPEED RACER GO!!!!! <3

  • The Mach 5 isn't forgotten. Its all over the trailer.

  • I saw this movie last night at a special test screening. It was the completed film. First of all...it's mindblowing and fun. Yeah, this guy's right. It's NOT that realistic...you know, cuz it was based off a CARTOON! LOL. Also, the Mach 5 is indeed the star of the movie until something happens and they need to introduce the Mach 6. I won't spoil more than that. You'll have to see what happens to the Mach 5 on May 9. :) (Oh, and the Mach 5 AND Mach 8 were both AMAZING!!!) Great movie!

  • ...LMAO. So that's your reasoning?

    So no one cares about acting, cg, writing or storyboard/the way the shots are done. <__<;

    .__.; When enjoying low budget a cartoon with odd dubs as a child becomes filled with expectation's like it's a media that only true "connoisseur" can judge and appreciate. Wow. Now I've seen everything.

  • Edit: Add 'did' after the when.

  • Please.

    Are you saying this film will be bad because it has a Mach 6 as well as a Mach 5?

    Here, take this paint brush and a tub of yellow paint and draw a "5" on the side.

    This film will be incredible because it's going to be offering something that looks and feels totally unique to ANYTHING coming out this Summer - it's not a sequel, it's not a prequel, and it's not another comic book adaptation about a rich guy who decides to fight crime.

    Personally, I can't wait to see this.

  • Yes the original SR is still my favorite because that is what I grew up with. However if you are a true fan you will still enjoy what the new movie brings to the 40+ year run of our favorite cartoon race car driver.

  • this movie is gonna suck total ass.

  • the mach 5 is in this movie but it gets up graded to the mach 6 in the begining of the movie

  • GAY..

  • One trailer shows the mach 4 with (possibly) Rex giving "young" Speed a ride on the track! I like the look! Too real would look stupid like Stalones race movie from the70's.

    The mach 4 and the mach 6 are track cars.

    the mach 5 is the road race car.

    Trust me... the mach 5 is the star.

  • I don't think you guys have watched any old speed racer cartoons lately. They aren't as visually stimulating as you might remember (we're talking slow mo anime). Plus the translation to english caused them to talk funny. I've seen 4 different trailers now and they keep getting better! Anything they do is going to be awsome!

  • The movies going to suck because it will have a crap conspiracy thoery plot not because they've changed the number on the car from 5 to 6.

  • The ONLY way to please a purist would be to show the original cartoon in the theater.

    I was a huge SR fan when I was 6 years old. My son is now 6 and is a huge SR fan. We're both totally thrilled about the movie and plan to see it. I think the Wachowski's are the only people who could actually pull this off since they are former comic book nerds themselves.

  • By the way, I'm excited about the movie if only to see the possibility of the original cartoon FINALLY getting cleaned up and remastered on DVD. The DVD's I have are marginal quality at best. But it's all that's been available.

  • I think you should make the movie! There! Problem solved!

  • lol

    you made me laugh out LOUD

  • 6 ??? where

    are you fckng blind????

  • I understand your concern. I too was like, "Mach SIX!?! WTF?!!?"

    But I now suspect that the Mach 6 is part of a dream sequence. The star of the movie will be the Mach 5, as it should be.

  • have no fear the Mach 5 is in the Movie. some how speed will get into the Mach 6 later in the movie! just wait till it comes out!

  • he gts it upgraded later in the movie so it can handle the crucible

  • who said there is a mach 6 in the movie? There is a car with the #6 on it. but that doesn't make it a "mach 6". The #6 car is probably a track car for indoor kart racing. There is only one "Mach 5" and it's in the trailer also. They will most likely build the mach 5 in the movie when Speed decides to go race the pro circuit(road races). If the movie follows my hunch... it will be awesome!

  • ok the movie looks badass.. i'm sorry but there making it as much as the cartoon as possible with all the really top notch animation i mean could they make it more like the cartoon if it was all reall... no but the movie looks awesome and i can't wait to see... way to come back watchoski brothers..

  • At first glance i too was a lil skeptical about this movie. I was expecting something a bit more realistic like transformers. But all i can do is wait and reserve my judgment til i see the movie. But i am excited about the movie regardless. I was just hoping it would be a little less cartoon like, but then again i loved the cartoon.

  • i cant wait to see this movie lol this movie is going to make about 250 at the box office

  • Don't judge the movie until you've seen it. Obviously they have to adapt the original script for a movie, so obviously there is some purpose in that car saying Mach 6. As for it not being entirely realistic, that's more personal taste. Some people like it cartoonish, because that's the kind of feel they got from the show. I wonder why...? ((sarcasm)) So reserve judgments until you actually see the movie.

    Also, the directors are amazing and the cast looks promising.

  • i dissagree with this opinion about the movie, so you said they stayed with the original script but why do they have to change the car,and add in charactars unknown? how does this appeal to the majority to the people. im not TRYING to judge but its pretty hard to not relise all of the idiotic flaws they are going to have. and also, just because its y2k doesnt mean that they cant just use old styles to go along with the original cartoon.

    its just not right.

    it looks horrible to be honest.

  • If they going to be cartoon-like, it is not going to be good. Younger people who don't watch anime or anime fan who didn't watch the original show are also the target when making the movie. If they put it original, it just like another race car story that everybody don't care about. I don't think it is horrible just because is not exactly original but has the original story to it that make it count.

  • Un lebi ut wiener dem. 5 stars.

  • do you think the makers are stupid enough to put a 6 on the mach 5?

  • Nah, I just think we have to wait and see it before we jump to any conclusions. You never know if it's relevant to the story!

  • of course! but his point that they put a six on the car or whatever, I you look it's not even the same car. The second car has a completely different look to it. I admit it's a bit more futuristic than I would like but i trust the WACHOWSKI BROTHERS to do a fair job. I'm really excited for the movie

  • This movie is going to be AWESOME!

  • so sorrry i think is too fixed w all that neon and overload nigthcsenes

  • Yeah, but that's kind of how the cartoon was. I kinda like it. It's different

  • WB didn't change the car number to "6," so stop whining about the damn car. As for the races being realistic v. cartoony, it would be way difficult to film them using real cars. Besides, the bright colors and the cartoonish appearance reflect the Japanese origin of the anime cartoon off which this movie is based. I think this film'll be great. Don't knock it until you've seen it.

  • Who gives a fuck what you expect?

    Looks awesome to me, a serious movie about such a campy cartoon would suck.
