The Making of Speed Racer

[@Playitstraight44]

A truly underappreciated film when it was released. I think it's beginning to get some respect over time by a new audience who gets it completely. I always enjoyed it.

[@faze_toomuchclan5698]

I loved this movie since my it came out when I was born in 2008 and ever since then I loved it

[@gregorysimao7468]

Is my favorite mohie ever since it came out

[@muffinbutton9619]

It was very before it's time still my #1 favorite film of all time

[@Uldrod]

This is probably the best movie based on anime, and if you watched Speed Racer wen you was a kid, this movie is AWSOME!

[@Genevasplaytime]

[@just_koop]

Really wish I had access to the concept designs for the 100+ cars they made.

[@plazasta]

I agree, it's absolutely gorgeous and way ahead of its time, like some of the stuff shown in here genuinely looks like the supercars being released in the late 2010s and early 2020s

[@triggzgrindz6815]

This film changed the world without anyone knowing it. As a kid this film really appealed to me and watching it again, gives me so much appreciation for how creative it was.

[@Perryprime1999]

2008 people didn't appreciate the absolute beauty they were given

[@pamilicious1997]

As a simracing fanatic, I find it amazing that they used rFactor in making the driving scenes. I just saw the sim while scrolling through the credits, made me wonder how it played its part in the movie.

[@RedLee20]

Do you know where I can find the tracks?

[@robertoarkenburg6652]

I would love to find the tracks and car models that they used.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It's about 50 times more complex than I imagined, I thought they just stood in front of green screens! 😂

[@BlCKuT-nv8gv]

There are five pedals within the cockpit…. There’s the two for acceleration and braking…. Then one is for the thrusters, one for the clutch and one for unlocking the back wheels for drifting….

[@isostormgamer5584]

This film is definitely one of the best live action anime adaptations and was ahead of its time.

[@vontavius01]

TBH, If racing was actually like how it is in the movie, I'd watch it. Even as someone who loves cars, I never really cared about Nascar or F1.

[@FakeSiege]

Imagine if they made Speed Racer 2. If it looked real back then, what about now?

[@gustavopereira4924]

it didn't look real... purposely ofc

[@lasarousi]

No thanks. The movie we got is as good as it needs to be. Today's reboots will put eleven subcultures and make a big deal about minorities being forced into the screen and miss the point of the material entirely.

[@FakeSiege]

@@lasarousi you've got a good point, actually

[@osbob1983]

@@lasarousi This of course is why we get the Wachowskis to do it- they made the first one, they know what they wanna do, and personally I trust their artistic vision. Though given the multicultural nature of the film, which they touch on throughout the video, I think subcultures would still play a role

[@Elemental_Entity]

It never looked real. You probably assume in the early 2000's movie vfx were not as good as they are now. Not at all true, for many films, they were better than the effects now. But this film isn't one of them. They look fake AF which is a big part of the reason the movie flopped.

[@LukeFor3ver]

Absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE UNTIL NOW!!!!💯💯🌟

[@iLiokardo]

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

[@pokebreeder2517]

i'm also pissed they didn't use the actual track models in the speed racer game or even find the full 3d models of the tracks like thunder head, the fuji helexicon, or the gran prix

[@sondernfy]

Yeah! If the 3D models of Thunderhead, Fuji Helexicon, and the Grand Prix were released, someone somewhere will make an Assetto Corsa mod of it

[@vrvel_music]

@@sondernfy I'm almost sure there's a Thunderhead mod for Assetto Corsa, problems are physics with the jump

[@MS06R-2]

​@@vrvel_musicWAIT FR?

[@MS06R-2]

So i searched up and there is a discord server full of car and tracks mods

[@SpeedxLightning]

1:45 i never thought i would get to hear the engine so clearly

[@samhudson4469]

It’s a shame we don’t get to see the Wachowski’s in this.

[@freindmaker4473]

they were very secretive, certainly partly because of lana's gender transition at this time

[@Elemental_Entity]

@@freindmaker4473 Yes they are secretive, but that is the only reason they don't appear here. First off, you can't change your gender, secondly, the brothers didn't go full mental until 2016.

[@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516]

@@Elemental_Entity True.

@@elijahblechman4859 Sorry to disappoint you but I don't have Gender Dysphoria and I know the difference between a Man and a Woman, in which you can't even define. Unlike you who thinks girls get erections, I am not mentally ill.

[@Arxiuz2]

All that awesome effort and all they get it is shitted on, poor guys

[@lasarousi]

You don't need recognition when you know you did a good job.

[@heysoupboi13]

I like how all the previs background cars have that almost uniform style of 60s-70s racer car look. Kinda wish the cars looked a bit more retro to match the anime

[@agentbrickschannel4523]

I love this movie so much. So much emotion

[@CRXnick]

It was be awesome if the future of racing looked just like this

[@charliered420]

They made a copy of the Mach 5 prop that actually runs, it's based from a 70s Corvette. Hope there'd be a real Mach 6 sometime in the future with actual 4 wheel steering and stuff

[@AegisEdge]

I'd actually kill to see a real mach 6

[@swolpingu3436]

Love it all, still the coolest and most satisfying visual experience I have seen.

[@limelimelimee]

8:40 "We Didn't want to use real life logos" Sees a juicy drop pop logo at the beginning Of Casa Cristo.... on a car.....

[@ThatWolfWithShades]

There's a Petronas car in the starting grid of the final race.

[@poeplzrwierd]

Didn't want to, but perhaps they were like "You know what how bou we do some product placement"

[@3km143]

and Yokohama, Puma and Sparco xdxdxd

[@3km143]

+That-Wolf-With-Shades you mean "Petrobras", don't you?

[@frylucas]

There's also a blimp with an advertisement for Autobacs in the scene prior the start of the Casa Cristo race. Speaking of Autobacs, at 8:09 you can see an ARTA Grand Prix Race Car that's entirely based on ARTA's GT300 ASL Garaiya from JGTC/Super GT, featuring not only logos from Super Autobacs itself, but for thier failed ASL manufacturer.

I feel like the simulator they used for the movie became the base coding for the PlayStation 2 speee racer game

[@M0rinkashi]

+LovableMJFan2017 Of course they did, they use rFactor!

[@motordragon1975]

Go speee racer go, lol

[@aletacopeland129]

Wow... Those logos for sponsors are cool! I especially like the Medius Rez one.

[@aletacopeland129]

Just one question... What are all the sponsor's names? I can make out "PURR security" and "Rude Noodles" and some others, but I still can't make out most of them.

[@RedLee20]

11:30 no one ever told me the Mach 5 Replica was in the movie

[@tinojca]

[@SpeedxLightning]

That's because you were never supposed to know.😌

Why does this video have so many ads. Isn't this copyright infringement?

13:05-13:24 ... We have part of an anime OP over here.

[@jakal8888]

This was an amazing film

[@peteri.8856]

Is there anyway to find the art at 8:08?

[@HimboJimbo]

Rally cars have more than 3 pedals???

[@Kittysune12]

funny thing mclaren's F1 team car (MP4/12 1997) have 3 pedals they called it second brake pedal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_MP4/12#Second_brake_pedal

[@indigo.1017]

When that man said there weren't engines in the cars my mind said FUCK

[@sr212787]

4:43 Didn't watch every episode then. There were several shots of the cartoon Mach 5 interior. It had allot of detail.

[@TheShadyBoi]

I wanna play this video game there talking about

[@CDM1208]

I saw some zebra halls before in the 3d Grand Prix track model

[@sr212787]

I've never seen so many mid roll ads!

[@pokebreeder2517]

and what annoys me is you people didn't post all the car models on a wiki page!! or at least blank 3d models!!

[@LanceCorporal_Waffles]

I love this movie.

[@battlecruiserna]

The problem is that "People React to Speed Racer" is a more accurate title for this movie. I think they should have focused more on the racing, with a better soundtrack, and it would have been received much better. I'm glad the Wachowskis made the movie. Without them it wouldn't exist at all and there's some really good stuff in this movie to enjoy. It's just their storytelling method wasn't very compatible with the content. In my opinion. Cast, Crew, Attention to Detail, and Story were all phenomenal, my only criticisms are the storytelling and soundtrack. That's all.

[@JackTASM2]

Battlecruiser Plays I think this is like Cars 2 in some way except Cars 2 has a little more flaws but the racing scenes in that movie are really good.

[@ed.9694]

What do you mean about focused more on the racing? i don't get your criticism... What was exactly wrong with their method of story telling?

[@holyflutterofgod]

+Battlecruiser Plays Wow, I rarely see such a polite comment I so strongly disagree with. Sorry you felt the movie had some weaknesses in these areas, buy I'm afraid I didn't see them as you did!

[@bjs996]

Guys, calm down!

[@atomskreborn5740]

the soundtrack was amazing wth? and focusing on more racing? the movie had a great mix of story telling and racing. hell the intro told a whole back story during a race

Hello, I don't know if you'll even see this, but is there any chance that you could re-upload this in better quality somehow if you still own the Blu-Ray? Some bits of this could really use some more pixels. Regardless, thanks for the video anyways!

[@RedLee20]

The car at 4:06 looks kinda like Chicane.

[@Elemental_Entity]

Imagine if they had the technology and budget to make this photo real. It would have broken box office records.

[@Eliasnapan07]

A mi me gusta las carreras y es una Pena que los efectos hayan sido un desastre para el Cine y todos sus Fans :( se nota que la Película lo hicieron apurados y con mucha prisa sin tomar en cuenta ciertos detalles, detalles que han perjudicado a toda la Película, mas que Película parece animación 3D y no han hecho la Película con las ganas que se debería haber hecho para esta pueda obtener mejores resultados. Y otra cosa también, si hubieran trabajo con fondos reales, tal vez hubiera salido mejor, no se confien mucho con el fondo verde, puede ayudar en algo, pero ustedes de pasaron, toda la Película es con fondo verde, nada es real

[@gregorysimao7468]

Callate. Los efectos estan perfectos. Se nota que no sabes apreciar una buena adaptación de anime

[@logisticstep5212]

???????

[@JimmyNGX]

It would’ve been nice to see the real complete look of the Mach 6 rather than being in CGI rendering.

[@DariBenny]

Wachowski girls made this possible 🏳️‍⚧️ trans sisters lilly and lana and RIP snake oiler

[@sandernielsen8018]

It had been way better if they had used less cgi in the film.

[@bjs996]

Yeah, but it worked that way in Sky Captain, and it looked good. The Speed Racer Movie had this amount of CGI, because they gave it, the illusion of Japanese anime in real life. You really need to watch anime shows and anime movies to know what I mean. If it concerns you so much, then watch 300, because I know, that's a better movie. Right?

[@hyperx72]

And make all the action slower and duller? That kind've logic kills creative action like this.

[@lasarousi]

No thanks, this was supposed to be full fantasy locations and impossible to film angles.
