The Speed Racer Thread

[BunnyHead]

This is the official Speed Racer SRK discussion
I didnt see a thread for it..so I made one.

Of course Speed Racer was before my time
but luckily Cartoon Network aired the reruns (before CN got wack)
and man, this cartoon was so cool, it's one of the first animes I got into like that..

I always thought Speed was funny looking
but I loved him, and the theme song was so damn catchy

My fav was Racer X
he was so mysterious

Anyways
I'm sure we all know the Live action is coming up
and usually american wrecks alot of things (DOA, Street Fighter)
but I think this movie is going to be hot.

I think the casting is so dead on
http://speedracerthemovie.warnerbros.com/

Emil Hirsch looks exactly like Speed
Ricci looks exactly like Trixie
and Matthew Fox looks just like Racer X
on top of that, Susan Sarandon is one of my fav actress, Ji Hoon Jun aka Rain is one of my top 2 korean singers and actors, John Goodman rocks
, this will be a memerable cast.

and omg did you dig what the Mach 5 looks like?
I wanna get in that car man

I think this movie will be hot.
I hope it will be as crazy as transformers

So lets discuss u guys.

I remeber watching Speed Racer X or something like that on Nick.it was cool...

[Taito]

It's creepy how close the actors look like the cartoon.. I don't know what to expect from that movie tho, especially since I never liked Speed Racer..

Anyone remember that 'Speed Racer Porn' techno mix from the 90s.. it's from this song

And what about Ghostface's Daytona 500 video..

John Goodman as Pops Racer? All he needs is a thick mustache. Angry John Goodman = too good.

and usually american wrecks alot of things (Street Fighter)


What? Did you go see the movie expecting a flop, and INSTEAD YOU FOUND A GOD?

More SNAKE OIL.

The movie better be full of HA HA's or I will boycott it.

I'll be damned if the casting isn't the best I've ever seen in a cartoon/video game adaptation.

I wonder who will play the little kid, I forgot his name...SPRITLE. God I hope he and chim-chim eat like 50 pounds of candy during the movie.

Mad crash ups too.

MMM... Susan Sarandon, why do I adore thee?

Oh right Speed Racer, this movie looks promising. Excellent cast.

Needs moar Snake Oiler... Johnny Depp could do the role justice.
