The owner of Royalton Industries makes Speed a lucrative offer; Speed rejects it, angering the owner. Speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit.
With the offer to Speed denied, Royalton wants to ensure that Speed will not win races. Speed finds support from his parents and his girlfriend Trixie and enters The Crucible in a partnership with his one-time rival, Racer X, seeking to rescue his family's business and the racing sport itself.
Rated PG for sequences of action, some violence and language. Did you know Edit. Trivia After winning a race, Speed Racer jumps out of his car while it's still moving and strikes a pose. Goofs During the first race, Speed is driving the Mach 6. Although many believe this car wasn't built until just before the final WRL Grand Prix at the end of the movie, the Mach 6 was Speed's main car until it was destroyed at Fuji.
The Mach 6 was rebuilt for the Grand Prix since the Mach 5 still had the defensive features from Casa Cristo which weren't allowed.
Quotes Speed : Racing hasn't changed, and it never will. Crazy credits The first half of the closing credits is set in a montage of kaleidoscopic sequences, racing scenes, and Chim-Chim performing various antics. User reviews Review. Top review. As with most of the Wachowski's works, Speed Racer is generally misunderstood.
After reading seanwalker's review of Speed Racer, I feel compelled to write a positive review in light of such skepticism. First off, this is not some stupid trolling endeavor. The guy who wrote that review is clearly intelligible, he just didn't get this movie. Speed Racer, as do all Wachowski movies, has a theme: family. Speed Racer captures the ideal family in a realistic way, showing the conflicts between child and parents with the coming of age, first with Rex Racer and then with Speed Racer.
In this film, the power of strength in family overcomes all odds, all conspiracies, and all evil. When all ideals of goodness seem to fade, family still remains strong.
It may be a somewhat simple message, but the message runs deeply throughout the film, and, after all, this is a family movie. Though the effects were likewise phenomenal, after Royalton's speech, you can't possibly say this movie isn't deep. Once again, the Wachowski's apply multidimensional philosophy into their film, a feat that hasn't been done before in a family film, at least not that I can immediately recall.
And finally, we are faced with everyone's biggest complaint about Speed Racer: the big cheese. The cheesiness will make you cringe occasionally, but that's not to say that it isn't intentional. Fans of the original series will tell you that the corniness and overdone comic relief were part of what made the series what it is. As the great Tarentino would do, the Wachowski's stay true to their original content, and not only include each character of the original series, but portray them as they've always been portrayed, with Racer X as the only character without a ridiculous, cheesy scene.
Speaking of Racer X, how about some praise for this movie instead of just counterargument! Racer X's portrayal is wonderful! This may be a spoiler, but honestly, if you don't know by now that "Racer X is really Rex Racer, the older brother of Speed who ran away from home years ago and is secretly racing behind the mask and the wheel of the number nine, the shooting star" then you probably need to go watch the series.
As an older brother, I find Racer X to be a heart-wrenching character. You have been successfully Logged In! A verification link has been sent on your Email ID. Please verify. Didn't receive verification mail? You can now login with your mobile number too.

Fans of the series as well as speed freaks should enjoy this upcoming driving title for the PlayStation. As expected, Speed Racer is a blast. At first, I thought the game was nothing more than Ridge Racer with gadgets and a cool license. My initial suspicions were only half correct; the journey turned out to be much more enjoyable and less derivative than I first expected.
Although there are only three tracks to choose from, there are lots of shortcuts and hidden areas in the game which can only be accessed by certain cars. While this is nothing new to racing games, the way it's implemented in SR is both challenging and fun. Although some of the techniques required to win the later races are a bit too demanding for my tastes, at least it's not impossible.
The graphics are about par for the PlayStation. There is no slowdown or pop-up to speak of and the control is very responsive. Another cool little detail is how the techno version of the Speed Racer theme done by the group Alpha Team is played during replays. Some of the voice samples are annoyingly repetitive "Hey, catch him!
For me, SR is appealing in that it offers a solid albeit straightforward driving experience, combined with campy, cartoon-like personality. Here it comes, here comes Speed Racer. It's a bad deal and it's going to really piss off someone. The game is real short so you better be careful. After wasting your money you might be tearful. And when you beat it in 30 minutes, and there's nothing more, you bet your life you'll want to After the warm fuzziest wore off from seeing vintage Speed Racer clips, I began to get bored with this retro racer.
While Speed doesn't suffer too much from any one malady, it's just too old and simple to warrant my praise. With variations of one track being the meat of the game, I simply learned the shortcuts and won consistently.
