He’s a demon and he’s gonna be chasing after someone.

Wow, it doesn’t look totally lame.

I figure not being a big speed racer fan will either kill this movie for me or make it bearable when they rape it. Either way, win for me!

The phrase “live action” is almost meaningless at this point.

Car fu. Awesome.

Saw a recent clip of Matthew Fox in his Racer X costume. Looks odd but still pretty much like the cartoon. And his car is really funky, all black with green (I think) gauges, etc.

Reminds me of Aqua’s ‘Barbie’ video. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.

I haven’t really been keeping up with the Wachowskis, but Larry Wachowski is still “Larry Wachowski”, right?

This is like Transformers, right?
Something you nerdy manchilds (thanks Dave) might enjoy, but the rest of us will just shake our heads over.

Looks goofy as hell…which, given the original `toon, is entirely appropriate.

The important question is: will the Mach 5 have the saw blades and jumper-thingie?

If it doesn’t then it’s not Speed Racer.

As well as occasional dialogue like “Lightning bring my monster car to liiiiiiiife!”

But not too much.

Is this some sort of Trackmania machinima?

This or the Mammoth Car and I’d be a happy number.

Whoever they have for Trixie is a fail…Cartoon Trixie was hot!

Ummm… so is Christina Ricci.

Um… No she’s not. Unless you have a thing for Gigantor Forehead women.

Sure she is.
