    Are adaptations all that studios can do nowadays?

      And plenty of 'mischief'. I swear, that cartoon was about the only place I've heard that word used.
      "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
      Socrates.

                Do they still make Speed Racer chocolate-flavored toothpaste?

                  Pray they don't make Speed Racer sequels.

                    I dunno. The visual on the vehicles reminded me of the flop live-action Thunderbirds!

                        Re: Go Speed Racer Go!

                        Two more previews (or trailers depending on how you call them) appeared on the Apple Movie Trailer site today, giving a total of 4. The 4th one looks like the one referenced by shaveice in post#21. I never saw #3 before now.

                        In any event there is something I noticed in the trailers which I will put in a spoiler.

                        Some segments have Speed driving a car with the number 5 on it's side and some segments have it as a number 6. Even the cockpit is different, some segments the driver is on the left side like the cartoon series, other segments it is in the center.


                        If anyone wants to discuss about the details in the spoiler please keep in mind that quotes and spoilers don't mix. You might want to reference this thread first before replying to this thread.

                          Oh No another remake.

                          Whatever happened to that magnified idea of starting off new? I guess Hollywood abandoned that a long time ago. Oh well jumps on the band wagon puts on his Speed Racer hat takes off the shackles that once belonged to all the star wars movies, matrix movies and also sadly terminator movies and looks forward with anticipation and banters with glee "Full steam ahead!" GO Speed Racer Go. This is going to be a good ride. YEEHAA

                            She was there in the series of course it didn't help matters that she (a) wasn't in all of the episodes (b) she was imaged almost the same as Trixie and (c) I suspect in the American version the same actress voiced both characters.

                            I know the mom tended to wear aprons mainly because she in the home scenes.

                              Was in Wal-Mart today and I noticed that they are selling various sizes of the Mach 5 car in the toy department.

                                "Speed Racer" is quite an amazing movie. The digital wipes that advance the scenes are almost a new grammar in filmmaking. The Wachowski Brothers have outdone themselves.
                                Plot and themewise, similar to "V For Vendetta."
