Hey!! It's The Mach 5 From SPEED RACER!! And It Looks Like...The Mach 5 From SPEED RACER!!
Merrick here...
A few weeks back, USA Today revealed an image of SPEED RACER's trusty Mach 5, a la The Wachowskis.
The Giant Penny (who also sent in these cool shots of Batman's new wheels) also transmitted a different view of the car from the New York Licensing show. Which...we really appreciate. Thanks, Giant. Penny.

Gimme the keys...
-
Tom Slick to the big screen...oh well.
-
yep.
-
Would be optimal for $$$. Get somebody up and coming!!! "300"-esque!
-
I am not excited about this.....never liked the cartoon.....
-
Eye candy designed to make us drool months early. And it's working, eh?
-
But I believe I'm supposed to be excited by this so... YIPPIE-KAY-HAY mother-freakers.
-
I suspect it's going to be something really huge. The Bros. went a little astray with the 2nd and 3rd Matrix flicks, but I loved BOUND, and THE MATRIX is still a terrific movie. SPEED RACER has many components that make me want to see the film: the car, Chim-Chim, and Pops. I freakin' love Pops.
-
What happened to the shiny chrome rims we saw in the original pic? -.-
-
Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Goooooo!
-
Can we expect a "pimping" of the Match-V half and hour before the end of the movie? Damn you MTV!
-
What's a speed racer? Where they hotwheels or something?
-
Looks a little like an Austin Powers reject design.
-
either NASCAR or IRL. oh well. at least he can still be the pace car.
-
Germaannnn engineering in DA HOUSE! :D
-
forgot that last bit.
-
the same goes to the BATPOD OR wathever it's called!!!
-
the Mach V still has those big ass saw blades unfolding from the front of the car, I'm in. Wouldn't it be cool to see Racer X get cut in half by those things? ; )
-
In bullet time photography too...Yeah, giant saw blades are cool...
-
Or I'm going back to the latest episode of ACCORDING TO JIM.
-
I want to buy both.
-
The design is total retro. I would keep the essence of the design but update it a little but not too much to take away from the original design. Right now it just looks like it belongs in a cartoon. Though I could be wrong.....
-
is a window into the psychedelic look of the movie!!! Looks like they are going in the direction I was hoping for.
-
this movie is gonna be EXTREMELY stylized so I wouldn't worry it.

Did anyone notice the "Omni Consumer Products" logo on the building in lower left corner of the background poster? Perhaps a nod to "Robocop"?
-
There's a nod to the Seattle Space Needle in the center as well. Love that background.
-
lol...
-
bring on chim chim!
-
That's what could make this movie so cool. Not just what the car looks like, but what it can do. Again I say, BIG ASS SAW BLADES on a car are COOL...
-
or should it be too speed racery? whatever it looks fine
-
a pretty nice Mako Vette style prototype, but, eh, it's a car. What's exciting here is that candy colored Blade Runner meets Jetson's cityscape. What year is this thing supposed to be set in, 2064? Hard to get enthusiastic over what's faster, the Mach 5 or the new Batcycle when the Silver surfboard would leave them both in the dust. (I refuse to use the word that begins bat and ends in pod - how many songs does it hold, anyway?)
-
This aint no news.
-
It's the "Batcycle". "Batpod"...
WTF? LOL!!! -
...a miniscule white musicplayer with crappy headphones.

-
...but that's usually not the problem. Hell, the city in Judge Dredd looked great too: a lot of good that did...
-
They just had to work one in lol.

Racer X
-
Thank God they're not fucking with the original Design.... All i can say is FUCKING SWEET!!!!
-

-
Or something like that.
-
Just checking.
-
Peter Jackson for JLA!
-
Can you imagine the amount of trim you can pull with this ride? X to da Z aint god shit on this.
-
i havent seen it since i was like 8 but is this going to be a serious adptation (spelling) of it or what?
-
I hope the look of the film matches the awesomeness of the building designs in the background!
their films are so dark that it would be great to see their take on a "lighter" world. -
Unlike certain hacks who've ruined certain TF movies by redesigning and changing everything...
-
They look like crap compared to the chrome rims in the first pic that was released.
-
The Mach 5 unfortunately had a stop in Detroit before making a stop for it's photo. Used to have a bitchin' stereo too.
-
Maybe I ought to put a sticker on the side and claim to be the real speed racer.
-
where the fuck is second cousin of phartegod?
-
What brought that up?Well, I'll tell ya.I was watching this... http://youtube.com/watch?v=A1cokR6FrD0 And I realized ...hey... Ricci reminds me a little of Sigourney Weaver. And I thought a little bit more (I do that from time to time) and I was all like... Jim Cameron should pull a Singer and remake Alien 3 in like fifteen years and cast her as Ripley. It'd totally work.

Geez - thats not even a car. The picture a few weeks ago was the car. This is a MOCK UP. The Rims are CLEARLY Plastic. The head rest is separate from the body and oh - WHERE ARE THE SEATS. This is the equivalent of a giant movie poster display a la the giant Silver Surfer mannquin at some theatres.
Compare the two pics side by side. Theres no mirrors, the front fenders are completely different.
-
taking an actual working car their. They've probably whipped up a dozen of these mock-ups for display.
-
they showed this at the video conference that you guys didnt post.
-
OOOOPS. Wrong Talkback.Juuuuuust kidding. This looks sweet.
-
Because TBers complained the previous ones were TOO SILVER!
-
2. Batdance, and Scan-da-lous!
-
This is gonna be GREAT!
-
Thumbs up. Spot on. But will the acting and script be as good as this car? We can only hope...
-
I wouldn't mind seeing some high speed racing action through a deadly race course with that thing sliding all over the place.
-
... It wants it's Mach 5 scoop back!
-
...can we at least get a G-Force movie? I'd rather be seeing a spot on Phoenix than that damn car.
-
I always liked that view from the show.
-
It's aminamated (in-joke) and it's being done by the guys who did the latest Turtles flick, as far as I can recall.
-
Car looks great, but that background gets me REALLY excited.
-
America has such a love for nostalgia which is ok but come on. Let it die.

WHAT ABOUT CHIM CHIM?
-
I've heard it down to David Spade or Chris Kattan for the role of Chim Chim. Also, this looks great. I figured they'd update the Mach 5 to look like a hummer or put a Dodge emblem on it or maybe turn this property into a Nascar movie, but so far so good.
-
It needs more flames and moving parts. Why go with the source material?
-
...at Comic Con '06. It was sittin right out there in the mid of the main floor.
-
Some idiot at Mattel hasn't thought of releasing Ken as Speed Racer and Barbie as Trixie for this movie. I'm trying to contact them about this, as they shouldn't be focusing on only Hot Wheels and Tyco for movie tie-ins...girls like anime too, you know.
-
...transform into a spiky, unrecognizable pile of crap??
-
in every fucking race. Of course, it's great that Speed was always surprised when they popped out.
-
my bad
-
...and I like that it resembles the animated original...too bad Batman couldn't follow suite...
-
I've seen a Mach 5 at conventions and carnivals for at least the last 10 years. Is this a new car or the one that's been tramping all over the country?
Just saying they could have borrowed the other car to use as early publicity. -

There's a picture of the car I've been seeing for several years now. This was taken at ComiCon last year. Several notable differences. -
... what the movie will be about.. For god's sake, some dude riding a really fast white car... Hasn't this been done before, and didn't work?I'm betting this is another no story movie to sell more toys than ever on a franchise that just ain't worth putting on the big screen.I mean "Driven" covered all the racing basic you can have in a racing movie didn't it? Young rookie, German Champion, Old dog returning, crashes galore, race on the street, egos flying around, tragic even... I mean what will Speed racer bring? The same, but with a monkey?.. IF they bring the damn monkey in the movie.. I mean COME ON! THE MONKEY?! REALLY?!!.. really hope not.. Do wee need another "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can"This will make a great dvd rental... Wachowski's or not..
