It’s a cartoon movie there’s nothing live action about it. Watch le mons with Steve McQueen.

10/10 film

Yes
DOA
Why do so many japanese manga adaptations change the story halfway through?
Because they are generally made before the Manga finishes, or they assume they are only getting the one season/entry so change the story to make an early conclusion possible.
Death Note was made after the manga and the anime had concluded, but it still just veers off for some insane reason.
Bleach was also made like 5 years after the manga ended, and is based entirely on an arc that ended in the mid 2000s.
It veered off because the second part of the manga was much less successful and not worth adapting
They took the source material, boiled it down to the raw essences, and then they cranked that shit up to 11 and went completely wild. Speed Racer is off the walls insane but radiates with the heart and soul of the 1960s cartoon, giving it an earnestness that you basically never see anywhere in modern movies.
2008 was a more earnest time
Not really, Speed Racer was a pretty big anomaly
You don't climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven.
It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us.
this is such a good quote a lot of morons let sports dictate their life decisions
I didn't lose Rex when he crashed. I lost him here.
This stretch of 5 minutes is the highest concentration of kino ever projected onto a screen
Chills
>the checkered spiral
ABSOLUTE KINO
I remember seeing a trailer for this going to watch some other film and being blown away by the effects and style. Then later trying to find it online but I was too dumb and young to get it. It never left my memory until I actually watched a decade later.
HOLY KINO. What a great movie, friends loved it too.
Certified kino movie, every rewatching is enjoyable
The movie's soundtrack is one of the strongest points why would somebody replace it?
bc initial d racing innit
I remember falling asleep when I saw this in the theater
10/10
What part?
lol I don’t remember it too well. That was a long ass time ago, I was only 7 years old. I would like to rewatch it again at some point.
it is impossible to find the full monologue of Royalton but that is the best villain monologue ever made in any sort of entertainment media and the reason why it is so good is because it is real, it is something that happens in real life sports and no other movie has had the balls to talk about it
The problem would be that it is cut up by the flash-forwards to the race where Speed and family get dunked on proving Royalton's threat's correct
You're going to go to Fuji and try to prove that everything I just said is wrong. Well I'm telling you now; You won't win, you won't place, I'm guaranteeing you right now you won't even finish the race
KINO
It's the seamless transition that really sells it.
I forgot how good the end of the monologue is, it was not about fixing the race so he lost also getting his family sue'd, telling him that it doesn't matter if the sue is bullshit in the end the difamation to his family's company destroying his credibility and destroying the contracts they had will be done, in other words he is talking about cancel culture where the narrative done by the propaganda is more important than the reality and in the end the result doesn't matter what matters is what the elites say, ridding on the fact Speed lost the race and didn't even finish the race meaning his popularity sunk and nobody really cares if he gets fricked up in a injust way
I dont think its a 10/10 like anons here say it is....
its an 11/10.
loved the twist
I thought this was pretty dumb, doing a fakeout with the identity of the biggest meme from the cartoon
i sdit lile redline?
In 2011, I bought this on a whim on blu-ray when my 2C-E came in from Europe one afternoon. My buddy and I tripped balls and started watching it about 3 hours into the trip. We were completely mesmerized and couldn't believe what we were seeing. I remember bursting into tears of emotion as the checkered spiral came up at the final moment. The visuals were so intense, he refuses to watch it ever again. I watched it a year or so later completely sober and it's every bit amazing as I remember. One of my favorite films of all time, for the visuals and campy story both. A true masterpiece of cinema.
