Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPeter Fernandez and Corinne Orr, the original English voices of Speed Racer/Racer X and Trixie/Spritle in Speed Racer (1967), voice race announcers in the film.
- GoofsDuring 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.
- Crazy creditsThe directors' credits spin out of a wheel, similar to how the title of Speed Racer (1967) appears.

Featured review
I just loved Speed Racer. It did an amazing job at entertaining, and overall the movie blew me away altogether. The movie may have became a little idiotic and somewhat uninteresting at points, but they did a very good job on the script and I loved all the awesome kick-ass action. One of my favorite parts is when they are fighting in the hotel bedroom, that scene was awesome, and I laughed at a lot of the cute jokes too.
I understand it was mostly all for thrills in the vision department, but that is what you should have been expecting when you went in to Overall Speed Racer exceeded my expectations, and in the end I was very glad I had the chance to view it, for I loved it and think it rises above a lot of other movies out there recently. It did not deserves it's Razzie noms. Give it one more chance if you did not like it.
