  • mach gogo

  • loco este traductor que tiene youtuve te cambia todo lo que escribis jaja

  • A mi me gusto mucho la pelicula, porque los personajes eran iguales, se respetó la trama y el rol de todos los personajes. Lo unico que no me gustó y medejo un poco desepcionado fue el toque futuristico que le dieron y que el mach 5 tenga una turbina como la del batimovil atras. El mach 5 era un deportivo con un caño de escape que contaminaba como loco jaja y un motor que te dejaba sordo. En la serie nunca vi autos que volaran como los de los supersonicos. Bue. Igual estuvo muy entretenida.

  • The movie was good. Not perfect, but still a fun ride.

  • I love this movie and I think the Wachowski Brothers should make a sequal!

  • movie available for $5.89 (Free shipping) at ebay.com

    put on the search bar, item # 330426072293 and hit search

    Thank you!

  • Hmmm... being a lifelong fan of Speed Racer and anime in general I'm going to have to give credit where it's due. While I did not like the movie itself for a number of reasons I did honestly enjoy the music (this song in particular) and I did like the technicolor feel to it from an artistic standpoint. Those are two areas I think they got it right; otherwise, meh, I really hope someone tries again in the future to adapt Speed Racer. Sorry guys. I really really wanted to like movie.

  • I wish they would make a Sequel to this Good movie

    RF

  • This is one of those movie that is a Cult Favorite that for whatever reason didn't get some good reviews by some of the critics. But I saw this movie, and it was a good movie and respected the Anime

    RF

  • I have got very nice memories. Thanks.

  • lol songxDD

  • I actually loved the movie they made!! alot of people say it was an bastardization and I was all WTF? why bash an good thing? That's my opinion. If you agree please thumbs up!!

  • @AnimegamerMaximum

    I agree 100%! This is one of the best adaptations I've ever seen. The people who bash it most likely are not fans of the anime. I love this movie because when I am watching it, it feels like I am watching an episode of the show, which is how an adapation should be. It captures the essence of the show very well.

  • The movie captured that "technicolour-feel" of all the cartoons from my childhood. The critics panned the film because it was all cgi-ed and over-the-top. Well, that was the Wachowski brother's intention in my opinion. They've always been fans of anime styles. A really unique film that can be re-watched over and over again.

  • @barttan you my friend are correct!!! this is why aspiring artists whether animators, musicans, cartoonist, etc. should go out on a limb and follow their instincts...you know take a chance. The music is upbeat and makes me feel good. Hey, i think I will go and draw. :) P.S. you get two thumbs up for your comment. :)

  • a very underrated film, to bad it flopped

  • i love the movie

  • they really did it justice in the ramke of this song! :D It kept the fun loving free spirited 60's feel!

  • レトロな感じがいいな

  • Awesome music!

  • This is actually pretty brilliantly done - a perfect blend of all of the music associated with Speed Racer - including a nod to the original Japanese theme.

  • the fuck are you guys fighting about? its an amazing song from an amazing movie, relax and listen for Christ's Sake

  • which dont forget came to be because of an amazing anime

  • 1:21 is the Duggery theme

  • Wow, Bartman is HERE TOO.

    Starting more fights, and not typing properly.

    And being even more immature.

    It's like no matter where I go, there he is.

  • Atleast he was buggin' me, it was an interesting argument while it lasted although I've had better where actual sentences were used. I dunno how I'm racist yet just because I like old music I'm an old fart.

  • 2 months ago, and you respond now.

    i never said you were racist.

  • Barkman did, I should've been more specific.

  • Geez Barfman and I are spamming this videos comment section.

  • it was an okay movie, not great or bad but okay

  • This's Ending Credit?

  • Its in the credits at the end of the film, unfortunally though before this nice re-mix we get some rap song.

  • fool people liked the song before better than this this song sucks dude it wasn't rap dumbass.

  • Well it sounded like rap to me, but then again most mediocre music is rap and this being mediocre both can easily be confused. By the way, name calling ruins your credibility.

  • to you it is mediocre but to everyone else rap is great let me guess country loser emo kid matthew davis.

  • Wow you're a great guesser, you come up with 6 irrelevant words that probably describe you! I listen to music with rythm, non-repetitive beats, lyrics that I can understand, isn't on Tv all the time, and don't come from a culture fasinated with chiny things and big wheels. Go talk with people and ask for their input on rap, some will not like it and some will, we're not all gangsta bling bling sheep.

  • Not really im not emo i hate country matthew davis sucks and i am not a loser hoenstly dude people can do that with rap but your just a narrow minded fool who just can't see that who doesn't see the deep story in rap you have to be smart to see the story inside of the music your obviously not.And also asshole that was racist what you just said people like rap and arn't black and stuff kid rock likes it the sprouse twins do rogen does hugh does shall i go on mrs.racist?.

  • I never said anything about blacks, and I don't know why you're mentioning Matthew Davis because I don't know who that is. If you can see the story in rap do tell me, I would not doubt that rap was a once good music genre until it was exploited by the media, you probably understand it more because I hardly listen to it. And if it matters I'm a guy, and I'm not racist. Considering your typing and mentality I doubt that you're 22 but I could be wrong.

  • So your saying i'm retarded just cause i don't type well? ok and also you don't have to say your aginst blacks but the way you said things like gansta bling bling you don't have to be like that to like it that is a stereotype and also rap isn't exploited by the media rap is media the story in rap is about the hood how it is there do look at the music video's and actually listen to the music and you would see that listen to the songs they talk about the hardships rap has meaning now.

  • No, I'm saying that you're immature, and I still say that the rap "culture" is mostly sheeps that don't know how to run their lives, but they do know how to run big SUVS and through their wallets.

  • I'm not a racist, and I dunno what a hater is. I listen to old music that was done by people with passion, not losers that say "yo" or "whazzahhp?".

  • @bartman30012 you really are a poor deluded fool brainwashed by the meaning. chase tail, shoot guns, kill, steal, rob, sell drugs, spend money, wear gaudy jewelry, yeah that's the "story" in rap. that's how the hood is? a buncha ill mannered, pea brained criminals? they don't speak of any real hardships. not everything can be solved with money and hos. thats not the hood. thats how idiot porch monkeys glorify the hood. and stfu, cuz i'm black, im from the hood, not a buppie and your full of bs

  • @bartman30012 the real hood is nothing like a rap video in the least. those guys on tv live out delusions and promote those delusions for their idiot fans who are too stupid to realize theyre being fed bs. i grew up in a real hood and trust you hip hopper dick riding corporate stooge brainwashed sheep, 50, wayne and the rest of them clowns do NOT talk about the REAL hood. you sad for coming on youtube fakin like you kow what the hood is to defend wack rappers smh

  • wow I love this song but I love the movie more

  • I love this theme!!! HAHAHAH!! SO WONDERFUL!

  • I loved the outro at 4:00. Reminds me of Looney Tunes.

  • Isaw this movie and I was really surprised. I thought it was gonna suck, but for an adaptation, this was pretty good. IMO, this movie proves that some adaptations can be good. Great movie.

  • @greenac88 The colors made me sick and the storyline gave me strange dreams. But, yes it was good, for a 95% CGI and green screen movie. 10 years ago this would have sucked.

  • The music for this movie was great! When we went to see it, there was a little girl a couple of rows behind us. When Speed crossed the finish line with all the swirling colors, she said "My eyes hurt now!"

  • Name another movie that gives moments like so.

    It's impossible. :D

  • i was impressed by this movie it was rad

  • I just love this peice

    I'm glad they used the origional music in this movie

  • awesome song for an awesome guy and thanks to Youtube I can watch episodes online!!!! Awesome show!

  • I for one watched this show as a kid in the '70's and again in the '90's. As an artist, the producers did justice to this film. I agree that the film did not get a good rating as some movies with a lot of sex and violence. I've seen a lot of anime in it's original Japanese version. Talk about a ripoff when it is dubbed for the American audience. Let's hope there's another Speed Racer Movie.

  • I remmber YEARS ago they were talking about Johnny Depp as Speed in the Speed Racer movie (they wanted to make it in the 90's). This would have made money (to me) if the used Frankie Muniz at his height of fame (Malcolm in the middle). I also didn't like how they advertised it, they should have cut a deal with cartoon network to show it (the cartoon) a month or 2 before th movies release. The trailers were awful.

  • Really? Beacuse when I saw the trailers for the movie, it made me want to see it.

  • @werkinwoman83

    A sequel was planned for this movie, but it was canceled because the movie was a box office flop. Its too bad, since this was a great adaptation and a great movie.

  • Everything about this movie was perfect. The story was deep and of course the visual style was great, but the icing on the cake is the music.

  • i fully agree with you

  • This was a brilliant made movie. The Wachowski Brothers were really, REALLY smart for creating the anime, graphical type scenes for the races and the story was perfection. The whole Racer X to being the brother of Speed (just like the comics and the cartoon) and the Pops racing going under until Speed brought it back up. The script was perfect. The cast could of been better if they chose a different villain in my OP.

    Class A movie of 2008 along with Dark Knight, Iron Man and Wall-E.

  • Don't know what you guys are so worried about.

    First off, this was a good movie, and a highly underrated one at that... but, that's how I see it.

    Anime can't be killed, just shat on. And while America has made their share of mistakes, Japan has given us some pretty poor stuff as well... and lately, I haven't really enjoyed any of the more popular stuff, such as Bleach, Naruto...).

    But can't you guys explain to me, what was wrong with Speed Racer? What made it... "KILL ANIME"?

  • I have no idea what these guys are talking about, I liked the movie. I'm talking about the animated crap that America is making. They might be talking about how Speed Racer was American made

  • I see, didn't mean to direct it at you... and for the record, Megas XLR deserved a third season.

  • I miss that show...

  • You mean Americanime? Yea most American-anime is pretty poor and to me its just a matter of selling out plus they seem to just take ideas out of animes, draw awful square character heads with triangle mouths, and forget truly what makes animes good. Its like we're making bland parodies of anime more than anything.

  • I loved this movie! It was awesome!

  • *sighs* best part of it..

    "Go speed racer

    Machu Go Go

    Go Speed Racer Go!"

  • isnt it awesome hoe they combined the english and japenese versions together

  • yeah

  • it actually even chokes me up everytime i hear this and Go Speed Racer Go

  • I saw this movie 3 times in the US and today I saw it in China for it's opening day. This movie rules and all the critics can stick it.

  • I'm a big speed racer fan. I haven't seen the new movie (I missed it) but I'm really digging this cool theme that they made and how it incorperates the original Japanese and American bits and blends them nicely with some new stuff. I like it!

  • I like that movie so why is there so many people hating on the movie? It reminds me of the original. Which was brilliant! But this was just set in the future.

  • I know! This movie was awesome AND It stayed close to the idea of the original show!

  • andd most of all, those Hot Wheel-type raceways will keep audiences on their seats from first lap to last! Sure, you can get a seizure with all those flashing colors though...

  • Hmm your right, im sorry.

  • lol it hurt my eyes it was so bright! but it was cool.

    emile hirsch made speed hot lol

  • if its dumb why are you watching videos about it.

    i hate it when people do that

    friggen noobs.

  • yea, he's a bitch!

  • yeah right? i had to rant when some noob tried bashin sonic... filled this whole damn thing up

  • dude dont get me started on jackasses like this dude

  • Ahh saw it on its release date here in NZ. Its brilliant. Loved how this was in the credits. Definate purchase on DVD I think.

  • omg i loved this movie!

    if i had the money to see it agian (i can afford tickets its just gas!) i would!

    and to those lazy people that dont want to get off thair butts you can see it when its on pay per vew!

  • All these comments about how it had a short run and how you missed out... true, it didn't have the play time it deserved but I saw it five times during the theatrical run (4 standard, 1 IMAX). What it really comes down to is people that wanted to see it not getting off their lazy butts and giving the film a high initial box office yield. "I wanted to see that [again]." Then you should have.

  • Indeed. In Australia it played for an even shorter period than in the US and I was very busy in the period but I still saw it three times. I loved it every time.

  • *nods with his eyes closed* mm hm mm hm...0.0 wait you saw it in IMAX?! you lucky prick!

  • "I really hope they release it on DVD or I'll be real pissed off." Are you kidding? It's SO OBVIOUS that will be released on DVD!

  • Well played, Speed. This fits perfectly with the whole style of SpeedRacer! I love it!

  • The score is just fantastic. You can tell Giachinno really did his homework when composing for this movie. It's certainly a treat for Speed Racer fans. (Bonus points for inculding snippets of the Japanese "Mach Go Go Go" Opening theme.)

  • Here he comes

    Her comes Speed Racer

    He's a demon on wheels

    He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someon.

    GO!!!!!

  • wow its damn good how did u do it?

  • An orchestra. >_>

  • For me, this is by far one of the best movies of the Summer and soon to be the most underrated flick of 2008. I was really surprised at how faithful it was to the original cartoon. Props to everyone involved with the film. It's become one of my favorites.

  • I feel the same way about it, atomofish. Just watch, not only is it going to be the most underrated flick of 2008 but it'll be one of most recommended family films in recent memory. Truly awesome filck.

  • That movie was colourful sweet action, it rocked.

  • wow I like this alot how did you get it???????

  • If they had played this song as he was coming across the finish line at the end of the movie, I don't think it would have had the same effect. Good call. Does anyone else feel like they shouldn't be allowed to drive after watching this movie? Maybe it's just me, but I get so freakin' pumped.

  • totally agree

  • the movie is simply awesome

  • this isn't out in NZ yet, but wow... its like the first remake to ever do a good job of remaking the theme tune. I grew up with this show teaching me from a young age that the speeding ads are all lies and that speeding is great :P

  • You have a serious brain problem!

  • Stop listening to it, jackass.

  • The fuck that means?

  • patetic

  • So wrong. The movie is EXACTLY like the TV series, except it moves better.

  • Lolz, they used the totally wrong shot as the backdrop for this audio clip. Poor guy looks completely gormless XD

  • I don't think I agree, but anyone who uses the word "gormless" needs to be acknowledged. William Safire would be proud of you!

  • No need to be sarcastic, get a grip.

  • actually i think he was serious that was a good term dude

  • Yeah this movie is better than Iron man and Indiana Jones put together.

  • Hecks yes! I watched Indiana jones, didn't care for iron man though, speed racer was awesome!

  • hell yeah to both of ya's *points to the one under as well*

  • All movie goers care about nowadays is how many millions a movie brought in

    I've watched Indiana Jones 4, and Iron man, and Speed Racer is far better then both of them

  • I was raised on Speed Racer. When I saw the movie, it was like the anime had come to life and I think it's a shame that this awesome show has been so diluted by remake after remake that no one cares anymore. It's a great movie based on a great show.

  • I have the same felling that I was watching one of the episodes of the show and it really pissed me off when the film critics killed this liveaction anime style concept and at some point the film critics are going to get it in the mouth.

  • I know. It's sad that so many people dissed this movie and wouldn't even watch it just because the critics didn't like it.

  • It was the film critics that started the problem and I wanted to see the film twice for the details but nope they took it out and I was really pissed off that it happened.

  • Me too. I was hoping to take my younger cousin to see it but now I can't. I really hope they release it on DVD or I'll be real pissed off.

    I still can't believe that people trust a single person's/critic's preferences more that their own. What the hell happed to having your own opinion?

  • agreed it should be our voices not theres.

  • damn straight, and i know my 1 year old nephew will even enjoy it...n_n; he's already makin noises like an engine like speed used to

  • lol

  • hm?

  • means lots of laughs it's funny when I was little when cartoon network was reshowing speed racer I was doing the same thing your nephew did.

  • ah right, i was wondering what comment the lol was aimed at..n_n funny thing is i havent shown him speed racer yet

  • Means "Laugh out loud"

  • haha cute

  • n_n

  • I think that critics who give good films like these such bad reviews are really advertising it. The reader can go to the theater to see for themselves, and they'll probably like it, regardless of what the self-proclaimed "King of Moviegoers" reviewer says.

  • its not a good movie at all, but it has its charms, mostly through the grace of its characters. I did.

  • I think it's cute and simple. Although Christina Ricci was HOT. I loved her since Casper and Addams Family.

  • it is cute and simple indeed.

  • This movie was so awesome, I can't believe so many people never even gave it a chance. I have a feeling this one will eventually reach cult classic status. It's a shame. :(

  • actually, it was a kick as movie

  • The movie was fantastic. Retained many elements. Speed drove the Mach 6 during races that were on race tracks, but he drove the Mach V on open road races.

  • jajajajajajajajaja .....

    its great

    jajajajajajajaja .....

  • Speed Racer was done perfectly though, the first time I saw it I thought I was watching the cartoon at one point.

  • Great to hear that some of the original elements of the theme have been retained

  • better than ironman

  • Did he make the Iron Man Theme?

  • Nope

  • Iron Man Theme? Hahaha!

    The music for that film was easily the worst thing about it, the rest was great. They would have been better off just using rock songs, as a pose to that MV dreck of a composer from Prison Break.

    Michael Giacchino actually has talent.

  • Oh. Well, I didn't even know Iron Man had a theme.

  • It didn't, that's the point. Look at all the pathetic fanboys bumping me down. What nerds. The score was shit, it's as simple as that you deluded trolls.

    The Speed Racer score destroys it like roadkill.

  • 'nuf said dude. good way to put it

  • If you are referring to the Sabbath track as a song, I agree "that is" a great song.

    If you are referring to any of Djawadi's score, oh I'm sorry I mean "crap" as a song however... You've just shot yourself in the foot with that remark.

  • Bill Conti being interviewed for the 30th Anniversary of his score from Rocky:

    Conti: I really tried to right a memorable piece of music that folks at the time wanted to hear and could hum the music coming out of the movie theater.

    Stupid female E! Reporter: Oh yeah, that is such an amazing song, everlasting.

    Conti when she isn't looking: *rolls eyes*
