NOW UPDATED WITH HIGH RES IMAGES!! Go, SPEED RACER!! Go!!
Merrick again...
The Powers That be have released considerably larger versions of the images that appeared in yesterday's USA Today; you can now have your brains filleted by The Wachowski Siblings in startling, high-res clarity!
That second-to-the-las picture...really looks like Mario Kart.

Merrick here...
Aiight, here we go....
Fasten your seat belts, zip your zippers, batten down the hatches, seal the airlocks, prime your weapons, double-check your DVR, stock up on essentials, pull the curtains, shine-up your Alpha-Omega warheads, put the dogs in their crates & keep your loved ones by your side (or the other way around, if that works better)...
Those Warner Bros. sorcerers are about to unleash their SPEED RACER marketing tempest.
The trailer is set tonight to appear on Entertainment Tonight. For those who aren't up to dealing with Mary Hart and Donnie Osmond, an online release of the material is assured. You might feel less dirty that way, and the trailer might seem less tainted.
It's a trippy trailer: enjoyable and enticing, revealing a film that'll be far funkier & more stylized than any of us initially perceived. It firmly reinforces a notion we all sensed (to some degree) already - The Wachowskis & Joel Silver are really quite insane. In a glorious, audacious sorta way.
To me...the trailer felt like a Hot Wheels commercial that was aggressively sodomized by ULTRAVIOLET (you know, that strange Milla Jovovich movie where everything looked brightly colored, rather off, and really high-def?) It's surreal...but it's cool. It's just...ah...whatever. Watch it...you'll probably have a lot of fun with it.
To lube us up for the coming of live action Speed, Trixie, and Racer X, some images of the film have been released to USA Today.

Cool.
Now all we gotta do is make it to May...

i read this on rotten tomatoes about an hour ago.
-
so will check it out
-
w00t!
-
Wow! Where's Wario? I think I remember this track as well. Mario Kart 64. What a game. It'll make a great movie.
-
that could be the vodka though
-
It lookssss ok... but I'm not sure about some of those pictures. Goodman looks excellent as Pops, but Ricci looks nothing like Trixie. Whoever they got as Speed looks good without the helmet on but looks nothing like Speed when he IS in the cockpit.
-
I saw a screening of The Golden Compass last night, and Speed came along for the ride. It looks like a BLAST, some of the scenery reminded me of some of the later F-Zero race tracks...

Here is another site.

It's a shame they didn't make BATTLE OF THE PLANETS instead...
by spyguy
Or STAR BLAZERS. Damn, that would rock!
-
of the highest (lowest?) order.
-
I was not the slightest bit interested in this movie until I saw these pictures. I don't like Speed Racer, nor did I understand why they were making this movie. Now I think this is possibly a truly unique experience. Those wacky transvestites seem to have done a great job. It may turn my stomache a bit to have to watch Susan Surandon in a movie. This may be the first time almost ever that I have seen her in a movie, and I don't look forward to watching that shrew.
-
Oh that's not true. I did see that turkey gobbler bitch in Thelma and Louise. I guess everyone is entitled to at least one good movie.
-
Very bright and lots of motion.

I saw it and I think it should be called ADD:The Movie....
by gobbluth06
I never watched Speed Racer the cartoon, but I know that its anime based. Last night, I saw it on a screening of The Golden Compass. It does remind me sort of the style of Ultraviolet but thats it. To be honest, it looks like it should be called ADD: The Movie. There is so much going on in the trailer that those of us that don't really know about Speed Racer cannot possibly figure out what fits with what in the trailer. The trailer is a feast for the eyes and it is something that even though it might look too crazy for some, it still looks cool. I thought how they fit some of the anime stylings into the trailer was very clever. I will see this just on how different it looks. I'm anxious to see it again later today.
-
is being made, though I forgot who got the option for it (and its following the Gatchaman storyline, rather than BotP). Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato is optioned by Disney.
-
I thought Speed was 5. The other images reflect that. It's still too early to say though whether this movie will come across like chocolate-coated p*ssyjuice.
-
I was gonna say the same thing, is that an unintentional spoiler?
-
Totally forgot to say that. ^^
-
Waaay too much color and that Star Wars prequel faux green screen look. My expectations just took a huge nose dive.
-
I am getting sick of movies based on comics and cartoons trying to make their worlds more realistic. Finally we get filmmakers who understand these are fantasy worlds. This film looks great! The wachowski's looks like they respected the source material and kept everything that made the show great in the first place. I cannot wait till May!
-
Rex Racer and Racer X are played by two different people, Scott Porter and Matthew Fox, respectively. it's been a while since i've seen Speed Racer so i'm confused.
-
Flat out retarded.
-
just like these movies, speed racer too will suck ass...nice waste of money. unless the car transforms into mazingerZ, i say fuck it.
-
RODO's TinyURL link is not to a Speed Racer Trailer...I think it should be edited out of this forum...it actually goes to some porn site.
-
...John Goodman's overly-pendulous manboobs! Rest of the pics look cool.
-
Interesting. But Holy shitballs, this looks like The Fifth Element fucked The Cell and gave birth to this wild ass shit. I'm in. (Now where's that old cell phone...had my college mushrooms dealer on speed dial....)
-
Matrix (#1 only). That's it. Bound was okay. Vendetta they didn't direct. this? looks like ASS. I was afraid what it would look like, and if those images are any indication, they have a huge flop on their hands. Their best film is still ASSASSINS, even though they only wrote that one.
-
my son clicked that link your a fucking idiot
-
. . . by whoever did the new TMNT flick. Animated. Can't wait. And while I'm here, I'll repeat, this Speed Racer looks insanely retarded.
-
there's a joke in there somewhere.
And,
apparently, power rangers X captain planet - green hockey hair + S & M Fetish = SPEED RACER the Movie -
Is stupid. It is not cool. It is not symbolic of the 'Best' something could be, it does not make sense. How can you coat one fluid with another? Use better metaphors.
-
I think they should have stopped at the first Matrix film.
-
Most of this TB has no idea what pussy juice tastes like, so try something like...chocolate coated slim jims, or big fat cheeseburgers dripping with sauce...ya know?
-
My god, have we found our new DAREDEVIL? It looks like it.
-
Remember when it was a big deal to know what they look like? Now I wish i didnt. Two shitty matrix movies and some cross dressing later, and i have no interest in these guys films. At least they were smart enough not to direct V fo Vendetta, as that film rocks.

This looks like one strange candy-coated drug trip of a movie.
by a goonie
And I still haven't even seen the trailer. Those images alone are just... fucked. I really had no idea the Wachowskis were going to go this far into hyper-cartoon territory. The racing images at the link above are so brightly coloured and over-the-top that it conjures thoughts of a Willy Wonka lollipop more so than an actual movie. I'm very intrigued at this point, but I'm kind of afraid this one is going to make my teeth hurt.
-
it looks funny. plus the rather positive reactions to the script and the fact that i find myself appreciating the "jack" -matthew fox (when he's crying and full of blood) ...so...i'm there.
-
Somewhere with movie equipment and no limit budges.
-
...the years are showing :(
-
Emile Hirsch strangely looks like a young Dennis Quaid in his helmet, and John Goodman looks the part as Pops. How that guy has maintained his weight all these years without serious medical problems is a miracle.
-
I thought this was going to be an actual movie, oh well.
-
Crazy fun. That's all I want from this. No philosophy, no angst, just riotous fun.
-
Racer X was a speed metal band featuring guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert. Whenever Speed Racer came on TV as a kid, I had to change it...the animation and voices were just too annoying. As soon as I heard that opening music, "Dladadadladada..." it was gone.
-
After searching my feelings, though, I've come to the conclusion that it is only the technique that interests me. And Fox. The rest....not so much.
-
I need to see that in action! That was awesome set of pic! Must yield to temptation and soil myself with one episode of ET!!
-
ok, so maybe they don't have any more original ideas of their own, but they could have any sci fi novel at their disposal - ANY, and they choose... Willy Wonka and Spy Kids Factory. What the..?? Still, the trailer sounds trippy enough for the movie to get my money- who doesn't like the occasional tall, refreshing glass of chocolate covered pussy juice?
-
Have some fun with it, get creative, just cause all harrys reviews have weird food analogies doesnt mean the TB has to as well...
-
This could be a lot of fun. We'll see.
-
This is gonna be the best Spy Kids yet! Joking aside, it really does look like a tripped out Wonka & Spy Kids. The cars look terrible, and the actors look freaking awesome. I'm both disappointed and hyped right now. Which is pretty sad and awesome! As with all things W. Bros., it all look great in motion, which is what should sell this insane madness. I'm in. I always knew I would be.
-
what's not to like?
-
this looks like BRING IT ON in racing cars on acid, which to me sounds like pretty much the coolest thing in the world. you can bet your ass i will be stoned as a motherfucker one afternoon in may next year. (actually a lot of them probably, but i'm going to see this when i'm stoned, is my point)
-
Ricci's hair needs to be bigger, like the toon, otherwise she won't look silly enough, just a like a ho. Why is Hirsh making an Asperger's face in both shots with the helmet on? In the no-helmet shot, his hair is fucking absurd and it's perfect. Racer X is similarly perfect, just as you'd picture the cartoon in real life. One question about Spritle: Does having that little tubbins in the trunk slow the car down?
-
That's not a porn site, it's 2girls1cup.com. It's a shock site, like goatse.cx, lemonparty.org, etc. The whole point of it is to give the url to a friend and watch the expression on their face when they watch it.
-
Expect a Trixie cosplay from me soon...either movie based, or my original Race Queen design.
-
So, yeah, I -have- seen this before and it's nothing new. Hope the movie is better than the lame pics.
-
...looks right merkin.
-
http://tinyurl.com/23q48a
-
So there.
-
This in no way made me eager to see the film. It looks like a music video from the 80s.
Also, Goodman had to wear a 'fake chest' for this movie - the man has lost a LOT of weight - you can see it in his face. His big round cheeks are deflated and his legs and arms are small.
-
But I will see it in the theaters. I have the same expectations for this as I had for "Beowulf". Pure thrill ride.
I went to "Beowulf" purely for the 3D. Didn't care for the story. For this movie though, I just want to feel the SPEED, man. Earth shattering, headache inducing, screen blurring, Speed. -
with Bob "Fuck this I was in Roger Rabbit" Hoskins, after viewing these pics?
-
methinks ze gays will love this one.
-
I'm loving those stills from the link.
-
Idea seems interesting. I have a feeling with the concept, it's going to bomb unless you are tripping on LSD or something else really good.
-
Anyone? God I'm old
-
shit, not the shit, just shit
-
Always thought the show was kind of boring to me for whatever reason, but just on the style of the movie alone it looks pretty cool. Not that style makes a good movie, it could just be the best looking piece of shit in the toilet bowl, won't know till next summer though, since I don't judge a movies merit until I actually see it. -
Sorry, I sneezed and hit the button...
-
I honestly don't know one person who ever watched Speed Racer (me included), but I do appreciate any movie that takes the time to be original and creative. I'll be there.
-
just rewatched all the episodes with my kids, too. speed's the man, but racer x is the ultraman.
-
All I could see when I saw the pictures was Warren Beatty's p.o.s. movie. I'm passing on this one and I'm a fan of the cartoon.
-
...Chim Chim starts whirling poo all over the cars and everyone then I'll be in line to buy the DVD. **fuck yea**
-
Seven too many for the UK's Britney. Will she even be alive when the ceremony rolls around, considering her nestea plunge into madness?
-
But chocolate is not liquid at room temperature. If it was molten chocolate coated pussy juice, I would agree, but it's not. It' still an absolutely terrible metaphor.
I thought the best part of the pussy was the pussy, not the juice. Why not just say chocolate coated pussy? -
...candy coated chocolate covered Chim Chim poo whirling about? That way you'd hear a little crack when it landed upside the back of someones neck.
-
I like the look The Wachowskis cooked up for this film. Kids (especially boys) all over the world are going to love it too, for its crazy speed and ADD-ish visuals. Oh, and that monkey helps too.
Can't wait. -
oh..it's not?

Blow Speed Racer! Blow Speed Racer! Blow Speed Racer, Bl-ooow!
by zardoz
Anyone remember the episode where everyone thinks Speed is dead and Trixie has a nightmare about Speed? She approaches him from behind and when he turns around he has the face of a demon? It literally scared the shit out of me as a kid! Traumatized me for life! Maybe that'll be in the movie...
-
looks like a 35 year old midget.
-

-
and I don't think I could pay money to people who 'made' The Matrix Reloaded, one of the worst movies i've had the displeasure to sit through.
-
The whole Lana Wachowski rumor is made up crap. I met HIM last year in the flesh, still a man. It kind of goes back on the old old old old old rumors that he went to an awards show dressed up as a gimp...another rumor. Please don't diss the BROTHERS Wachowski, as they're both men, both straight, and both have smokin' hot girlfriends.
-
However, Matthew Fox isn't dull like Ben Affleck.
-
So your Spy Kids references don't buy you anything... why not go back to bitching about how much you hate the Matrix sequels because you were too stupid to understand a words like 'ergo'... I'm excited for Speed, apparently Joel Silver said that the Wachowskis couldn't even do half the stuff they wanted to in the Matrix Reloaded car chase due to budget constraints, I wonder if any of that carried over into here... Can't wait to check out this trailer, that and Grand Theft Auto IV at 6. It's a rather good day today!
-
Could his face be any more 'melting candle' in that gimp gear? And why the unshaven look? This role could have been played by a homeless guy.
as for linking 2g1c, thats only cool when you can actually SEE people's reactions. Doing it here is just middle school caliber hijinx. -
Dec 06, 2007 1:02:02 PM CST
At the least this will be better than that rumored '90s movie
by reel american hero
I want to say they were considering Keanu Reeves for Speed at one point. Then again I could be remembering this wrong. -
It really does look like Spy Kids 3D.....I have to see the images in motion before I start attacking it but I am not impressed so far.
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
-
DAMNIT THIS MOVIE WILL RULE. IT'S GOT A MONKEY IN THE CAR TRUNK PEOPLE. A FUCKING MONKEY!
-
was considered in the role at one point too.
-
...there are two cars, or there is something behind the Mach-5 being designated a "6." Wow. It's nice to feel useful. Now I can sleep easily tonight, because I certainly don't do much in my office. And hey, the more seizures this film / glorified video game induces in children, the better, because like, that's funny. And I don't want to hear any grief from anyone who says "You're a real DICK Abomb, because my son / mom / someone has (name condition) and they have seizures ALL the TIME!!" Because I know what it's like, someone in my family has problems too. But let's face it...it's funny. Not in a ha-ha, you've got epilepsy / parkinsons / schizo-whatever, but in a, wow, that's something you don't see everyday sort of way.
-
Not brown as in, the brown cocoa copper skin of a naked nubian virgin princess, drawn taut in the sun as she reclines nude supine akimbo over a rock near a lagoon, sweat beading on her. And not nearly as brown as the darker, sweet ebony essence of a chocolate coated mons venus.
-
And it looks retarded.

by steve trevor
Guarantee the haters will shut up once this comes out. Come on you haters. It looks cool.
-
why does the car say "6" on the side?
-
The colors look like they could cause eye fatigue seizers, and possibly make one nauseous. One cool thing. Maybe the colored wheels will start a trend where people pimp ride with colored wheels. I've always wanted colored wheels. Finally someone does that! Also whats up with the out of focus background in some of those pics. I thought this film promised to have the foreground and the background constantly in uber crisp clear focus....
-
The reason some of you never watched Speed Racer was because you were zygotes when it aired!
You don’t remember The Thunderbirds, Kimba, Space Ghost, or Johnny Quest.
All dealt with sophisticated storylines and situations.
And hey, if I grew up with crappy cartoons like The Smurfs, He-man, the Thundercats, (and yea the Thundercats were really good…sure they were) Voltron, or Gi Joe (Cobra la la la la la la la!) I too would instantly hate anything that came before me as well, convinced that animated anything was dreadful.
Having said that I wish they would have taken Speed in a different direction. I hope that the pics with Speed driving are just from the end credits which of course they’ll screw up and date with some JAMFed up hip hop redux theme.
I really want to show my kids that Speed can be cool live action as well as animated, don’t let me down guys.
-
Loved the cartoon. It certainly wasn't this colorful. The movie will be fun. I have no doubt. I just hope it doesnt tax the eyes or brain too much. Some peoples minds can't handle stuff like this.
-
God damn... this is gonna fuckin rock. GO SPEED RACER. GO SPEED RACER. GO SPEED RACER, GO!!!!
-
They had repeats. Same way I watched repeats of Johnny Quest, I did NOT watch Speed Racer. And now I just want to sing, "Up from the depths, thirty stories high, brea-thing fire, his HEAD in the SKY! GODZILLA! GODZILLA!!"
-
a half-dozen times. Then I'm buying the DVD, then I'm buying the special edition DVD. Then I'm buying all the mach 5 toys. 'nuf said.
I'm excited. -
This is ahead of Dark Knight for me.
-
And you're the same losers who masturbate over every Dark Knight image that pops up. S o sad. It looks exactly like the cartoon. It looks phenomenal.
-
Foxy looks bad ass!
-
The Matrix sequels sucked, but you can't say they were lazy or totally derivative. Speed Racer looks like a bold statement...even if it doesn't work, at least someone gives a shit and is trying to do something artistic rather than just another contrived popcorn flick/comedy for the masses.
-
I wonder if the Yellow Submarine will be in it.
-
As long as it has the Car Acrobatic Team, I'm in.
-
Fuck this movie.

Looks like Edna Mode.

Either way this'll make a lot of men cry like lil bitches
by jeffmansixtyfo
I just want two things:
#1 At the end of this movie I want RacerX coldcocking Speed after he's confronted him with the truth about him really being his long lost brother Rex who left home long ago.
2.The theme song.Cleaned up and NOT "re-imagined" by some has been pop star,or rap artist or punk/emo band.The same old cheesy twist music will suffice fine thank you. -
Ha Ha! This doesn't affect us at all! Ha Ha!
-
Is anyone older than three years old actually going to want to see this? This is going to flop like a fat guy bounching off the top diving board. Look out beloooooowwww spladooosh! That's gotta hurt.
-
Thanks dude now that song is stuck in my head, "and Godzooky".
-
I wish I could unsee the trailer.
-
.. but this movie is going to be the high point of his career...
-
This green screen thing is really interesting to me. Sky Captain, 300, Casshern are just the tip of the iceberg, this type of film making seems tailor made for comics and fantasy. Oh, I wonder if they are gonna have any songs from the band Racer X in there, or at least have Paul Gilbert show up.
-
....
-
Really looking forward to the craziness they have been talking about
-
If this is anything less than Choco Coated Pussy Juice.
-
This looks badass. I love movies that take pride in and embrace their own cheesiness. This looks like it's going to be a glam-tastic trippy fucked up nightmare. I'm in.
-
But in the best possible way!
-
by these images, in a bad way, then you were probably asking for it, anyway.
-
Like Kramer, your voice makes me seize up. Where's a link to the full trailer?
-
Just saw the trailer on ET. Looks like something I'd smack my kid for annoying me with.
-
Looks like a midget, not a kid, btw. Between set-ups I can totally see him smoking a cigarette, using the electric shaver on his 5 o'clock shadow, drinking straight bourbon and smacking the make-up girl on the ass...
-
It looks like a gigantic cartoon. Mission accomplished.
-
WOW! Those pix are super bright. Its really hard to judge this movie properly because the color scheme; its just too distracting. The images do remind me of past flops with the very same theme to them: DICK TRACY and COOL WORLD. Just too much color that takes away from the movie. I loved SPEED RACER as a kid, but the cars were really what I liked. Its really hard not to feel like this movie is gonna suck major ass just from the pix but, how many times have those feelings lied to us? But then again TRANSFORMERS had fucked up pix and its referred as a "blockbuster". Danm, is all that was good being anal raped by Hollywood?
-
WTF does that even mean?
-
My 13" piece of crap Toshiba dvd combo tv just turned into and HDTV for 2min... and stop with all the drug comments. Cant a movie be colorful and fun without being psychadelic? Kids are gonna love this...and I mean the cool kids.
-
i seen some pics and a deuchey racer x video, looks like this movie already needs a remake.
-
on HD?"
-
Why dont you change your name to Mr. Negative.
-
And although comparisons to Dick Tracy and Cool World may be valid on an aesthetic level, those two movies couldn't be more different than one another. Dick Tracy may have been a box office disappointment but it was probably the comic film truest to its source material in story, character, look and tone. Even if you don't personally LIKE the end product (which says to me that you didn't like the concept or source), it's difficult to argue that it didn't completely achieve what it sought to (without CGI, I might add). Cool World on the other hand... not so much.
-
I bought Streets of Fire so why not?
-
I'm not a huge fan of the series but I'm interested to see the effects of the new camera they're using in the film. I like the idea of being able to film a scene and have it look flat like an animated show. I think that combined with bitchin CG should make for an interesting movie going experience.
-
Let's call it Jonathan Frakes-o-Vision. Seriously, this movie looks like total crap and it looks exactly like Thunderbirds, except with a bigger budget. I saw nothing new or interesting in that trailer and will probably only watch it because I don't have to pay.
Harry, you're about 0 for 5 with me lately, I know everyone has their personal taste but I don't think I can trust your judgement any longer. -
Is he getting work these days, or what?
-
Are you guys kidding me?That was fucking awesome.It was just a tease.Is everyone here so uptight you can't remember what it was like being a kid,and playing with your mach 5 hot wheel car.

@dr_john_zoidberg
yes, i also got the Feeling, that pic here reminds me strongly on F-Zero GX(Gamecube).
So it seems to become some kinda F-Zero-Racing without Hyper-Modern Hovercrafts. -
Looks lame. The colors are lame too saturated, thye should be more washed out. It isn't trippy at all in my opinion, just garish. The compositing on the fx shots looks terrible. This looks like the Thunderbirds movie they tried to make. I predict total failure.

Why does Joel Silver always tout the Wachowskis as "revolutionizing" everything? They haven't revolutionized jackshit. I think the concept of a good movie with a good story would be revolutionary at this point.

did the FX for this movie. Then it would really be something...jeesz.
-
First off, the whole green screen in CGI is getting real old and cliche. The chim-chim kid looks like he's a 30-year old dressed up like a little boy. Speed looks like he's some sort of cuban flamenco dancer, and the jap looks like he's jumped out of some anime. I always give the benefit of the doubt, but i'm not very keen on what I saw.

Joel Silver obviously doesn't watch any other movies than the Wachowskis'. It looks like the brothers are trying too hard to get away from their Matrix vibe, like Wimmer did with Ultraviolet. On the brightside the acting seemed decent, but the effects are ass. Also Emile Hirsh needs to get rid of that constipated expression when he's driving.
-
Thanks for the link thecoldisnofun : ) Some of those stills are part of montage wipes and didn't look too bad in motion - it is a 2 inch web video so not the best way to judge the quality. I like the motion whip pan fx from the 'toon. I'll tape this on the DVR later and see what it looks like at 42 inches...
-
USA Today quotes Christina Ricci saying the Wachoswkis like the themes of individuality and selling out. But don't I recall the reason they made this movie was because they realized just how f'ing profitable kids movies are?
-
I will not spend one single dime to see that piece of shit. That looked fucking pathetic. Way to destroy my childhood, Whackowskis. Fucking retards.
-
Just saw the trailer on TV, lord this sure looks crappy. Looks just like all those crap Spy Kids movies, oversharp glossy colored visual effects.Blah...

Here's why the "it looks like the 'toon" argument doesn't work
by jimcurry
Cuz Anime SUCKS! Grow up!
-
This is Speed Racer, not Michael Mann remaking fucking Grand Prix in ultra-gritty DV. SPEED RACER looks like this! I hate to defend the Wachowskis since I so hate the Matrix films, but this is perfectly in keeping with the original cartoon.
-
yeah, it looks like Speed Racer. AND?! Since when is that a good thing?!
-
MAKE IT SO!!
-
ADULTS LOVE COCAINE, BUT COCAINE IS FOR PUSSIES. THERE IS NOT ONE KID ALIVE WHO IS HATING ON THIS TRAILER. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE FUTURE. ZAP ME THE FUCK IN.
-
fuckin a
-
Man, this is a bad idea.
-
And people continue to act surprised...oohhhh just what we need..a movie that looks like a mixture of the Spykids movies and Charlies Angel Movies with a touch of Thunderbirds thrown in..Wachowski brothers hang your heads in shame
-
AMERICAW, FUCK YEAH
-
...super awesome.
-
..."Mike Tyson's Punch Out!" If it is not directed by Scorsese, Carnahan, or Ridley Scott, and does not star some combination of Thomas Jane, Eric Bana, Daniel Day-Lewis and Christian Bale, with Jamie Foxx as Kid Quick, the corpse of Big Punisher as Kid Hippo, and Keith David as "Coach", I predict you motherfuckers will riot and demand "the serious-minded, honorable adaptation 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!' truly deserves!"
-
Wow,I thought the trailer looked bad enough on TV. Seeing the HQ version on AOL.com just make me hate this trailer even more. How utterly fake the visual effects look,is this the future of movies?
Crap,crap,crap!!!!!! -
man that trailer looks fucking grim. I need some therapy after watching that.
-
This needs to be more gritty and dark. Speed needs to be wearing black leather. With sunglasses.
-
Where you could always count on at least ONE person dying every episode, usually in a horrible crash. That, and sometimes, Johnny Quest... which is why so many people love the shows after 40+ years.So, yeah... SR was kind of "dark and grim," while simultaneously being silly and stupid.This preview, though, looks really half-finished. Blank undetailed skies with badly-animated cars doing flips in mid-air... it looks like edited footage from "Reboot," or, as noted by others, "Tron" — where the makers are TRYING to make the world look computed-generated, rather than simply stylized, like in Ultraviolet, 300 or Sky Captain.I like the preview, but they really need to polish and finish the "look" of this movie, 'cause it SCREAMS bluescreen and looks like some incomplete footage you'd find in the "Extras" section of the DVD.
-
...it looked like a kids movie, rated G. If those are finalised CGI shots then they are crap.
-
...this looks....awfull ? I mean, come on guys...like, seriously ? Look at the pictures - its getting old and its kinda hard to throw the Batman and Robin bomb that early but...hey..what do i know.
-
I love the cartoon and the film looks like its gonna do it justice or just be fun as hell
-
in the changing room as the voiceover intones "Your son seems to only be interested in one thing..." - a little bit subversive for a 'kids' movie is it not?
-
This is going to blow. Hard.
-
I was hoping Good man would have a crazy voice? Its just good man with a mustache? I think Norm from cheers would have been a better choice, he needs money more then Goodman. But I am seeing this because it comes out on my birthday! I am gonna dress up like Larry Warchowski, like I am going to a Rocky Horror show.
-
Lies.
-
This is the most pathetic talk back I have ever read. Destroyed childhoods, "this looks like utter shit", awful CGI, etc. etc. Give me a break!
Seriously, when was the last time you ever saw anything that looked like that trailer.... ever???? Once again, the W Brothers have created a world on film that nobody has seen in a live action movie before, and everybody is vowing on the graves of their ancestors to not watch the movie when it comes out. Calm down people. How many of you payed $10 to watch a robot pee on John Tuturro's head last summer? Since when did we turn into snobs.Lame lame lame. -
Not Donny Osmond.
-
I was referring to Osmond's frequent semi-co hosting/DANCING WITH THE STARS corresponding/emotional & chummy sit downs with Mary. There have been a lot of them lately. I know Steines is the regular host.
-
Listening to ANY of those talking heads is a sure-fire way to give yourself brain cancer.

Like the bastard child of Rollerball and Spy Kids, with a blast of anime bullshit. Count me THE FUCK out.
-
Its ok.
-
can't stage an action scene? these dudes made some of the most influential and entertaining action set pieces in film history. hell the chateau fight scene is one of if not the most perfectly filmed fight sequence ever.
-
socoolandfullofmotionandcolorandcarsanditlooksjustlikethecartoonexceptmoremodernandeveryonewillloveithaha.

I was expecting a little better from the Wachowski Siblings. Think what you will about the Matrix sequels, the highway sequence(s) in Reloaded were pretty cool. I expected that kind of thing in Speed Racer. If you can remember the original SR, the episode with the giant train-car; that would be cool if rendered like in Matrix Reloaded.
But we'll see. -
Ok, if they do, I will. Sick of all the pointless, childish remakes.
-
Every line in the movie should be bookended with random "EH??" and "OHHH!"
-
sorry if already mentioned above..
-
Jesus!
-
I'm not sure this film will do well because it looks too "out there" for most people. But you have to respect the Wachowskis for doing something interesting with the material. They obviously tried to give the film some artistry and have it rise above the typical summer family crapfest. Just imagine SR in the hands of someone like Tim Story or Brian Levant.

the hi-res image stretched the page, the TB is fine though

...as it usually does. I wonder if the folks are busy who did the MATRIX scores. Anyone know? Who is scoring this flick?
-
what did you all expect from a fucking Speed Racer movie? You want to see a truly shitty trailer, watch Iron Man again. Fucking underwhelming, and worst of all looked boring as shit. At least this looks like it could be fun.
-
Didn't they use the Alpha Team's Speed Racer techno song? HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA....Just kidding. This looks like someone crapped a candy factory. At least the British Bill O'Reilly is the bad guy. I hate that f'n guy. :)
-
but i liked it anyway. This movie is a trip. And it was filmed in Berlin, Germany... birthplace of techno... how strange....

In the picture...Fucking douchenozzles. No Speed Racer music + Mach 6 = bleargh...I give this two dead prom night trashcan babies.
-
... until now we've never had a film that required its audiences to be high on psychadelic drugs to fully appreciate it. Honestly, what were they thinking? It's obvious that they did this on purpose, but WHY?
-
The cartoon...best parts about it were the fucked up tracks and the crazy fucking shit, like the Powerful Mach 5 deforesting the out of bounds area when people fucked him in a race. Mega-Car (The big ass train car) was fucking insanity. Or people just getting fucking blown up when they were out raced by Racer. When I asked my dad why there weren't any parachutes, like when the Joes blew up a COBRA Rattlesnake...My dad simply said, "Son, they shouldn't a' oughta fucked with Speed Racer." Not really. But he DID say 'fuck' a lot. I loved Chim Chim, and they Wachowskis have my vote because a chimp and a fat kid who loves sweets got me to watch Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (and I loved those). I just think the picture with Racer X , Speed, and the lead singer from Republika is gay. Because neckerchiefs are gay. Sorry, it's a scientastic fact, folks. And that haircut is clearly genetically DESIGNED to make you want to punch Speed in the face.I hope this does well so we can get a feature length Venture Bros. movie.Viva Wachowski Brothers...They made Gina Gershon take off her gear with Jennifer Tilly...They had me at 'hello, this is a fat kid in the trunk of a car eating candy with a monkey...and oh, here's what speed lines are meant to represent.'

With Hulk Hogan as Willy!!

They light up and their heads asplode!

the Mines of Moria got a decorater in and let them all race in the great hall.
