Speed Racer (Patreon Movie Request) REACTION!! 

I wouldn't call it a bad idea, per se. No one at the time expected Iron Man to become as gigantic as it did.

Half-Moon Prophet Indeed. When the two came out, I remember being more excited for Speed Racer, as it had a larger fanbase, worldwide. We weren’t prepared for the rise of the MCU, lol.

That's not it 🤣🤣🤣 it's based a cult cartoon from the 60s... Plus iron man, sex and the city and Indiana Jones all came out the same month

whose going to watch this or whose going to watch iron man lol I think most people would watch iron man

Also a few weeks before the dark knight

I think it's either that, or that Rex's name was tainted so badly that he wanted him to at least have that in death.

Ford v ferrari was pretty good

@@judsonbuckner8590 What is that movie about? What’s it like? Is it all racing or is it racing mixed with drama?

@@darthmalgus232it's the story of the 69' 24 hours at lé mans. It was Ford's first entry into the international endurance racing scene. It a movie so, of course, it has drama elements, but they didn't overpower the other elements of the movie. I enjoyed it.

@@judsonbuckner8590 1966* 24 hours at Le Mans

It so good

Well said. It was the perfect Speed Racer movie for the fans but unfortunately that’s what lost them with the mainstream audiences. No compromises but not for “everyone.”

The only thing they don’t have is an insane espionage plot. Their espionage is relatively grounded. There is no mammoth car that’s actually a giant gold brick painted red.

@@silverlightsinaugust2756 Is that an actual plot point from the show?

@@voltronimusprime3833 yes, tons of gold was stolen from a bank. The authorities are trying to find out who stole it. They have a theory they’re going to use the cross country race (in which cars of any kind can freely join) to smuggle the bars away from the area. They thoroughly inspect every car. But one car is “the mammoth car,” a long series of trailers pulled by the front car, essentially a train on the road. The mammoth car seems like a state of the art vehicle, with a kitchen and bathroom. The inspection yields no results. But during the race, Speed gets into scrapes with the car and the bright red paint chips off, revealing the mammoth was actually made out of gold all along.

Agreed 100% 😩

I feel like if it got released today it would've been WAY more successful especially since it pays great respect to the original anime which alot of live action anime movies don't do

​@@thunderlighting2006 Yeah

Not exactly, but close.

Rex, in the cartoon became a spy & faked his death so his family wouldn't be connected to anything he did & his enemies wouldn't come after them. Racer X, The Masked Racer was his cover to be all over the world, working for Interpol, I believe. Racer X had a reputation for racing dirty 'cause there were a lot more crashes in any race he was in, but that was because his enemies were always trying to kill him. He was a much better driver than any of them and avoided their assassination attempts while still driving in the race. They'd crash while he kept going so everyone thought he was CAUSING all crashes so he could win. When he was in a race with Speed, he'd do crazy skillful driving to protect him. Winning was not his major concern so he did let Speed win in order to protect him. One of my favorite episodes that stuck with me since I was a kid was when Speed acknowledged after he won a race, at the end, and everyone was cheering him & carrying him on their shoulders, he made them put him down & said that Racer X really won that race because he did some of the most skillful driving he'd ever seen. He ended with something like, "He's a far better racer than anybody...he's a far better racer than I am."

@Cobra Kai Hawk Ejector seat and parachute

@Cobra Kai Hawk if I remember correctly

Your just dim of wit. Couldnt recognize art if it was right infront of you

Nice. He also did Rex's/Racer X's voice too (which I kinda hear there). It was amazing that only 3 voice actors did all the voices in the English language version.

Sadly he passed away in 2010

HE IS GOING OVER THAT CLIFF

@@mitre517 AAAH!

@@ldkinbote and in speed racer the next generation, he voiced both spritle as well as speed himself one last time

Unless it's Dragonball Evolution or that terrible live-action Devilman movie.

@@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847 Devilman 1996 or 2006 which one

@@Amoncarybab The 2004 version.

😂 Oldboy

Yeah I freaked out when I saw it on the trailer as a kid.

it’s been one of my favorites for years. i believe the movie was ahead of its time, people just didn’t get it at all

When I was a little kid I loved this movie. I’m 19 now (probably still a kid), and I still love this movie. That final race is amazing.

Also nowadays, critics for the batman "too dark"🤡

I saw it in theatre, i threw up after i think i had a bad hot dog. was on a date too lmao, oh well. loved the film
