@Sullivan Reck yeah I heard over the years their was supposed to be 2 more, it sucks we haven’t gotten anything yet, for my childhood sake I’m not giving up hope 🤞
Another reason: The car detail: You wlll see thousands of times the driver shift gears, wich in my opinion, it's a nice detail, kids probably won't understand that, but for me that was one great detail
Fact: Nolo is somehow inspired by Keisuke, both are rather hot-headed and drive Rotary engine powered. For example, Synkro and High Voltage. On the other hand, Nolo's brother, Tone, is similar to Ryosuke. Both are great for a team leader and calm unlike the two younger brothers.
Beautiful video, and some of my favorite childhood movies, didn't think these movies formed a fandom and actually have deep videos like these, it's nice to see my childhood wasn't just memories and a few things here and there. Great points in the video and I didn't even know about The Edge, learn something new everyday. P.S. Shirako is my favorite character, his music and chill attitude is always what keeps bringing back to movies and shorts, hell I even have one of songs on my phone, too bad no one will know what it's from, ah well. LOL.
I loved these movies as a kid and even more as an adult. I liked the details you put into the video. The only facts you mixed up was that Taro and Shirako are actually the characters from Asia. Kadeem is actually from the Sahara Desert in Africa. It was found out in Highway 35 when Banjee and Kadeem were driving through the volcano smoke. I believe Kadeem said, "When you have driven in a sand storm in the Sahara Banjee, this is nothing." Besides that tiny mishap, the video was well thought out.
I guess that I'm not the only one who feels like their the only one in this fandom. To this day I still haven't physically met someone other than my sister or dad who has even heard of the movies.
D3ADgamerZ I would watch all of the movies in a day, nearly EVERY day. That's why it surprised me when I never met anyone outside of my family that had even heard of hot wheels movies.
The only two people I know that are fans are the ones I got into AcceleRacers. :D And for better or worse, we were all between 18 and 21 when I discovered the movies - which doesn't change the fact that I love them and the character development through the story.
@@artexjay Exactly. Chapter 20 of Battle Force 5 Fused had Vert's dad be like him, experimenting with cars until he ended on a battlezone for years, *very much* different from the militaristic man that we knew in AcceleRacers
I am so glad I discovered this video - I loved Highway 35 and Acceleracers when I was a kid, and seeing this not only reawakened some old memories and nostalgia, but even made me appreciate it a little more. When I thought about it from time to time a few years back, I thought it was probably just something meant for only kids that, while good, didn't go that above and beyond, but looking back, I now realize it was a lot smarter and more interesting than it needed to be. It could've easily just been an advertisement for Hot Wheels toys, and while it still was, it was really entertaining and good in its own right. I was insanely upset that we never got a fifth movie and an explanation of what the ending of The Ultimate Race was all about - there was so much I wanted answered. I'm also a bit surprised you didn't mention a certain plot point when you were talking about the really dark turns the series took - I get that you were trying to avoid spoilers, but I think all you would've needed to say was "Kadeem's story arc", and you would've pretty much perfectly captured it.
coolcat001100; actually the movie you are talking about that might answer the questions left behind by ultimate race would be movie number 6, not five because of Hotwheels world race counts as a Hotwheels movie, for a grand total of 5 all together, but yeah I agree with you
Speaking of sequels.... Who else is DYING that they left off when things got good/When Vert found that HIS OWN FATHER was working for the Silencers...o-0 wtf!?!!?!?!?!? C"MON SONY!!! Bridges aren't gonna build them over the clifhangers anytime soon. also I know legit EVERYTHING about these movies. So, your not alone in the fandom
this is awesome you are a girl and you love the movies, you're not really alone, when i knew there's no acceleracers 5 or more i made myself crazy, like writing about acceleracers and highway 35, these movies are the best and i'm very happy too that i'm not alone
Aww well I'm glad that I made you happy! Don't worry, there are lots of girls out there who love Acceleracers! You just gotta look! Thanks for watching! :D
for a kids movie ultimately made to sell toys, this has made everyones childhood amazing, absolutely loved growing up to realize that this movie has better writing than the latest fast and furious movies lmao
One of the really big thingd you overlooked was the psychological elements behind Tezla. We pretty much watched a psychological drama unfold of a man slowly slipping into insanity until it all fell apart in front of him. He slowly devolves, losing reasoning as he becomes more and more obsessed with the Accelechargers and Realms.
Great video, I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers how great these series were. I grew up watching acceleracers on TV as a kid. Vert is and always has been my favorite character of the series. I love the race car designs and I tried to recreate them in countless video games. I still watch all 4 movies and Highway 35 even to this day. I wish that they had made a fifth movie to answer that Cliffhanger ending. Maybe one day that will happen. Wisdom is a circle, what you receive you must also give back
THANK YOU!!! This video should be watched by everyone who questions why most of the Hotwheels community has a negative view on BF5. It's not that we didn't like it as a whole, it's because of the consistency from Acceleracers into it, plus all the weapons and gizmos and martial arts fights every episode...
Thank you! I love these movies deeply and I'm gonna try and get my girlfriend into them too! Though to be fair, Acceleracers (and I think World Race as well) was aimed more towards the 12-18 year old crowd. After all, violence, themes of death and in one case, torture? Yikes! Still, loved it to death!
honestly as a kid I remember when I got my hands on all 5 dvds (hwy 35 & acceleracers) I would binge watch them like crazy and to this day I still love the movies and as a person who loves cars and racing I love the fact that the director didn't push the actual racing to the background like it was an afterthought
You're not alone! I really loved these movies since I was a kid, and even now. I guess the only thing that could really finish this series is a kick-starter of an independent group of animators informed from the writers of these movies. It would be an unofficial ending, but an ending intended by the original idea.
With the Hot Wheels expansion coming to Forza Horizon 3 my love for Hot Wheels really kicked in again and with that my Acceleracers obsession came too... I can't wait for the weekend to watch this all again one after another :')
I recently came across a video that explains in vivid detail how Banjee, Dresden and Alec Wood are the other silencer drivers, it makes too much sense, which definitely makes the ending of the series very interesting. Thank you for this video 🔥
Oh yes! I agree with everything you say here! Oh, and yes, Battle Force 5 was the WORST! I remember, back in 2008, when I was 8 years old, I was looking up "AcceleRacers 5", "AcceleRacers 5", desperately, desparately, DESPARATELY! Then, after looking it up, I saw that they were making Battle Force 5, and that it was to be released on July 10, 2009. At that moment, I was like "hmm…" then in 2011, I watched an episode of BF5, and I HATED IT. Then, in 2014, I saw an episode of BF5 on TH-cam, and I read one of the comments, and it said "my childhood", and I'm like "wow! Battle force 5 is already over! I remember learning about the fact that it was ever going to be made back in 2008 like it was yesterday!" And what's sad is, that person called BF5 their "childhood", and that's completely messed up. AcceleRacers was MY childhood, and it should've been yours too, NOT BF5. If anything, BF5 is what RUINED my childhood, because it kept there from being a 5th and 6th AcceleRacers movie, and it
as I agree that it was dumb to not finish accelecracers. I grew up on both and liked both once I got over that bf5 was sadly not a continuation I thought of it as its own entity and kept an open mind. I really loved it
Your editing is pretty good! I've subscribed to you! Also, I'm a big fan of the Hotwheels AcceleRacers series and it's awesome to see someone else who has the same feelings for it! :D
OfficialBlaze You're welcome and me too! I'm actually thinking of making a CinemaSins (Everything Wrong With [insert movie here]) parody of all five Hotwheels movies xD
OfficialBlaze Thank you!! By the way, to make a statement on this video, I do feel a little bit sad that the 5th and 6th movies were cancelled, but then again, it does feel kind of right for the series to end where it's at because... how would they continue? Gelorum and the drones are gone, GIG and the Acceledrome were destroyed, and the Teku and the Metal Maniacs put aside their differences and became friends... the only thing I didn't like was how it ended on a cliffhanger (and once you get to know me, I hate cliffhangers) O:
Zip Zap did they collect all of the charger cards? I don't remember. They could've shown the rest of the races they didn't show, extended the Silencers' backstory, ect.
Every Saturday when YTV channel was featuring hot wheels acceleracers, not a moment was wasted that I would spend each weekend watching them, to a point where I finally have all 5 DVDs. One part of my life is complete
Amazing video, really underlines the best qualities about these movies. As someone who grew up with these movies it’s great to see that there are many others out there that absolutely loved these films. I see other youtubers still posting about these films.. in freakin 2018!! Really gives me hope that they’ll (hopefully🙏🏽) eventually make the correct decision & finish the series off.
I didn't see World Race until I was 8 or 10, I'm now 19 and I still love the movie. When I found out about Acceleracers, I was a bit if-y and stayed away from it, but after hearing this, I think it's time I gave the full series the binge watch it deserves.
The character writing was actually really good, the characters all had realistic reactions to pretty much every scenario. The cast itself was diverse, but it wasn't forced diversity, it felt natural and realistic. The female characters weren't "strong" in the sense the word has been given today, they were well written, just like the rest of the cast. How did a 2005 children's series do character writing than many modern, high budget, hollywood movies can today? I seriously wish the series gets continued eventually or we get some closure. This was my childhood and i'm very much disappointed in the complete lack of an actual ending.
You are not alone I loved these movies. I loved them so much that I planned to make a script for the 5th one when I knew it was cancelled but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Who knows they may continue it some other time. Until then I will enjoy what they gave us.
Overall, pretty good summary for why this was an entertaining series. One thing I wish hadn't happened, though, was sidelining Kadeem. He was such an awesome character in World Race, and I was bummed with what they did with him. Also, another major thing that made this series so fun were the awesome car designs. Acceleracers definitely released some of the coolest looking cars known to Hot Wheels. :)
I watched these when they came out. I'm a fan of this series too. I grew up with these movies and thought I was the only one as well. Fellow fans have found each other.
You’re not alone. I also watch these movies back when I was 13 and 15. Even when Battle Force 5 was on, I still had hope for the next Acceleracers movie. Does anyone notice that the only ones who never use a Accelcharger was Monkey, Porkchop, and Wild.
I love these movies! they're some of my favourites ever. I've had and loved them for my whole life, at least of what I can remember... It could just be nostalgia, but I really love it. It's the exact series I always wanted... Probably also the reason why I grew up to love cars and racing and stuff now. also, battle force 5. WHAT DID YOU DO TO VERT
Wow. I'm really flashed right now because of how awesome this video is! After seeing it I instantly subscribed. I'm a huge AcceleRacers fan myself and I'm so glad I found your channel. Great list and wonderful video! Keep up the good work!
"Son, we need to talk." I was 10 when I first started watching the Acceleracers series on CN. Now I'm 25 and I still remember those exact words coming from Vert's father. Talk about the ultimate cliffhangers of the century.
I subbed ONLY because I'm not the only one in this fandom and this video is great! you should so acceleracers theories, but avoiding the ending theories.
So growing up I've always been into the "car scene" in late elementary - early middle school had these movies and then grew with fast and furious movies, anyways I'm part of a car crew and one of my decals is a teku logo XD, I'll show this video to the crew later to show them what my child hood car influence was! Thanks for the video
Kadeem is Middle Eastern. Taro is Japanese. Shirako is probably Japanese. Nolo is... Hispanic...? Maybe? Tone was his brother and was very Hispanic sounding and looking. Tork is African American
Straight up going to my favorites list. I loved the Hotwheels series by Mantel Entertainment and was so upset we never got a proper ending to the series and there were afew unresolved plot points that would have needed the last two unreleased movies. All the same, I go back to old videos and realized how much love was put into the plot, characters and themes. It makes it so much better looking back at it all and knowing this was so much more than just a bunch of cool looking cars (which they were lol sling shot was my favorite)
Another consistently between highway 35 and at least the first movie of Acceleraters between Vert and Markey"Wild". Towards the beginning of the movie when they are racing in the desert towards Tesla's old HQ markey is driving up and drives past the Metal Maniacs to the Teku he hits Karma and Kurt but not Vert. Because Vert was Markey's team leader in World Race. Not to sure if it's because he had respect for Vert or just because he's never wronged Markey. Another detail you may have missed was when Vert was talking with his dad at home in his brief case you can see a key for a silencers car. Also the Swamp realm has opened twice.
wow this was mad long ago that you uploaded this and i'm pretty late to the show but I gotta say this series was my childhood. I watched the world race every day pretty much when I was in pre-school and I watched every acceleracers many times each as well. I was devastated when the "final" movie ended with a cliff hanger and then the rights to the series were sold. It may have been for kids but to be honest the storytelling in this series is better than a whole lot of entertainment released today
even after so many years after these movies were released and yes i am a girl as well and i loved watching the 5 Hotwheels movies since they were apart of my childhood and now in 2018 and my only wish is that this series was picked up again, even by today's animation standards it could work and revive a spark for fans and answer some long forgotten unanswered questions. but Banjee's cheesy one liner still cracks me up even to this very day
Your not the only one in this fandom. I love both of these series but I grew up with High Way 35.(I didn't find out about Accelaracers till much later.) I even collected the cars based off the film. Although I feel I'm the only one who remembers the MMO Planet Hot Wheels.... THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD. I can remember buying the High Way 35 cars and putting in the codes that came with them on the website and unlocking and playing with them in the game. I miss Planet Hot Wheels... and this series.
This feels a tad stiff but you put effort into it and it shows. The passion is definitely felt, and for a fellow fan of the series I can only commend you for making this video. Thanks for doing this, you've brought some fans together.
Sony only held the soundtrack rights to AcceleRacers @ 0:33, not the film rights as a an additional pair of films weren't planned officially outside of fan content.
1st, you did great making this video 2nd, I love this series and I'm still looking for all the cars And 3rd THEY COULD HAVE FINISHED ACCELERACERS THAN DO BF5 RIGHT?!
Great video! The body proportions were over exaggerated and thankfully people notice that. Also great to see that people agree Karma might just be the best driver out of the Teku and Metal Maniacs
As a note, apparently there's some form of community for this in the game "Distance" on steam. There's a bunch of YT vids of canon or custom "realms" being raced.
Awesome video, subscribed! I loved this series as a kid (I have all of the cars from both movies plus a hyperpod and drone sweeper), and I still watch them! Too bad Kadeem was my favorite character.. And what the drones did to him, oh god. It's brutal, trust me. It could be the darkest thing in the movie franchise?
I absolutely loved these movies when I was a kid. Came to respect them more now, even before watching this video. Also watched through them all again because why not.
SPOILER WARNING I watch them all the other day, but I do have to mention there was some misplacement in lore or plot. In the movie highway 35 the drones said throughout the movie that they can't take the wheel from the racing realm that only a human racer can, and despite it being returned it they got it, and it wasn't clear on how they got it. Even at the start of the first acceleracers when it shows Tesla trying escape them would be the most logical placement, but they were focused on getting him leaving the idea that he had the wheel of power in a toss up
You're not the only one that watched them. About 4 years back my brother and I found a 4 disc DVD set for these and we freaked out. But it kinda got ruined when I didn't see an ending after watching them. It's still one of my favorite childhood movies
Fun Fact: (either the director or the creator, idk i forgot) said that Battle Force 5 is canon to the AcceleRacers timeline and was supposed to be a continuation after the 6th movie
If it wasn't for these series, I would have never liked cars the way I do now, and I would have been a totally diferent person. THIS is my childhood in a movie!
Still hated the cliffhanger at the ending
we need to talk those last words haunt me like a ghoste
Ohhhh I feel ya
@@pepijnys oh yeah fact
And they say some movie cliffhanger is bad
@Sullivan Reck yeah I heard over the years their was supposed to be 2 more, it sucks we haven’t gotten anything yet, for my childhood sake I’m not giving up hope 🤞
I can't enjoy The Ultimate Race because of that last interaction between Vert and his Dad
Another reason: The car detail: You wlll see thousands of times the driver shift gears, wich in my opinion, it's a nice detail, kids probably won't understand that, but for me that was one great detail
showing Vert ripping the hand brake AND his pedal work half piping the giant loop was one of the coolest scenes in H35
For sure
Yeah like hitting the clutch when they’re braking hard
torks engine falure because of the experimental Nitrox3.5 shows the oil gauge as the oilpressure is colapsing
Oh, man, my childhood. We NEED those last two movies. SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Tom Wheelers yt channel is currently working in the 5th movie
We need this 5th film badly!!!!
And then a proper conclusion. Bf5 isn’t cutting it.
Agreed
vert was gonna have a SMART CAR
Initial D for kids
also my childhood
YES
Group2 Gaming both initial d and acceleracers we're y shit back then ha memeories
Same here
Fact: Nolo is somehow inspired by Keisuke, both are rather hot-headed and drive Rotary engine powered. For example, Synkro and High Voltage. On the other hand, Nolo's brother, Tone, is similar to Ryosuke. Both are great for a team leader and calm unlike the two younger brothers.
@@rickyRofficial yeah after i learn they synkro is rotary i was like "uhhh hol up"
If you had a childhood you watched all these movies.
Wisdom is a circle. What you receive, you must give back.
Beautiful video, and some of my favorite childhood movies, didn't think these movies formed a fandom and actually have deep videos like these, it's nice to see my childhood wasn't just memories and a few things here and there.
Great points in the video and I didn't even know about The Edge, learn something new everyday.
P.S. Shirako is my favorite character, his music and chill attitude is always what keeps bringing back to movies and shorts, hell I even have one of songs on my phone, too bad no one will know what it's from, ah well. LOL.
Shirako and his music is legit the reason I keep coming back and watching these movies
"Let's pump up the bassline!" 🎧🔊🔊🔊
I had dreams of becoming a driver.
Who else caught "the Karma and Taro thing...they kinda 'Eissed' over that"
Nice subtle pun
I thought more the ICE realm
I don't get it.
@@MrGamelover23 its karma's last name

I found one my assistant manager and I would always talk about them and the great level of detail of the cars!

I'm still waiting for Acceleracers #5. lmao
Traci er... Vert's father wasn't working for red Sark or something like that?
literally my childhood and i had totally forgot about how much i loved the movies, i still have "world race" on Vhs
kadeem is african not asian
Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one that got that.
Maybe it was meant to taro.
probably since Taro is half japanese
Kadeem was meant g To be middle eastern

One of the really big thingd you overlooked was the psychological elements behind Tezla.
We pretty much watched a psychological drama unfold of a man slowly slipping into insanity until it all fell apart in front of him.
He slowly devolves, losing reasoning as he becomes more and more obsessed with the Accelechargers and Realms.
Who knows? Perhaps BF5 was Vert just passed out in the Silencerz hq and everything that happened were his dreams/delusions
+Steve Wood That's an interesting theory! :D
Steve Wood lol 😂 😂

These movies literally taught me to drive, every technique of driving used and/or mentioned is real and they even teach them in drivers ed
best form of education really. And you wonder why religions and myths involved old tales?
Stories STICK.
THANK YOU!!! This video should be watched by everyone who questions why most of the Hotwheels community has a negative view on BF5. It's not that we didn't like it as a whole, it's because of the consistency from Acceleracers into it, plus all the weapons and gizmos and martial arts fights every episode...
11 taro in the water realm
Thank you! I love these movies deeply and I'm gonna try and get my girlfriend into them too!
Though to be fair, Acceleracers (and I think World Race as well) was aimed more towards the 12-18 year old crowd. After all, violence, themes of death and in one case, torture? Yikes! Still, loved it to death!
I was pissed there was no banjee in acceleracers when I was a kid he was my favorite lol
beavis81 if you see In the swamp realm you can see benjees car in the swamp water, bad thing is that was never answered
WILDFIRE I know that just made me more mad lol
I really never saw the H35, just the first and second acceleracers. But I see what you are talking about
Ken Peerapairoj well if you didn't know, Highway 35 movie is on TH-cam, as well as the 3rd and 4th movie of accecleracers.
Well I did look at H35 recently and some parts of the AR 3 and 4
honestly as a kid I remember when I got my hands on all 5 dvds (hwy 35 & acceleracers) I would binge watch them like crazy and to this day I still love the movies and as a person who loves cars and racing I love the fact that the director didn't push the actual racing to the background like it was an afterthought
these movies are why I love cars so much. just found all the movies and clips in order to. was super sad to learn they didn't finish
“Son...we need to talk.”
“Dad...”
Peach Tube ouch
The song from Torks and Wyldes race is "Get to The Finish Line [ Metal Maniacs ]" by Jim Kaufman
You're not alone! I really loved these movies since I was a kid, and even now.
I guess the only thing that could really finish this series is a kick-starter of an independent group of animators informed from the writers of these movies.
It would be an unofficial ending, but an ending intended by the original idea.
Still struggling to get the cars :/
With the Hot Wheels expansion coming to Forza Horizon 3 my love for Hot Wheels really kicked in again and with that my Acceleracers obsession came too... I can't wait for the weekend to watch this all again one after another :')
I just got a full collection of all the World Race toy cars. I would love to see a continuation of these movies. at least one more. plz
The 3 drivers that went missing are part of the silencerz
ATLANTIS_ Ultima Dan Dresden, Alec, and Banjee are confirmed

Mike McLean Sony bought the rights for acceleracers from Warner Bros so yeah if they didn't buy it we would have the movie of our dreams

Your editing is pretty good! I've subscribed to you!
Also, I'm a big fan of the Hotwheels AcceleRacers series and it's awesome to see someone else who has the same feelings for it! :D
Thank you so much!! ^_^ Glad to find another fan of the series!
OfficialBlaze You're welcome and me too! I'm actually thinking of making a CinemaSins (Everything Wrong With [insert movie here]) parody of all five Hotwheels movies xD
***** That'd be really interesting! I'd certainly give it a watch! ^_^
OfficialBlaze Thank you!!
By the way, to make a statement on this video, I do feel a little bit sad that the 5th and 6th movies were cancelled, but then again, it does feel kind of right for the series to end where it's at because... how would they continue? Gelorum and the drones are gone, GIG and the Acceledrome were destroyed, and the Teku and the Metal Maniacs put aside their differences and became friends... the only thing I didn't like was how it ended on a cliffhanger (and once you get to know me, I hate cliffhangers) O:
Zip Zap did they collect all of the charger cards? I don't remember. They could've shown the rest of the races they didn't show, extended the Silencers' backstory, ect.
Great vid, just one 'one liner' you forgot: "I'm gonna pass you"
Every Saturday when YTV channel was featuring hot wheels acceleracers, not a moment was wasted that I would spend each weekend watching them, to a point where I finally have all 5 DVDs. One part of my life is complete
You know I genuinely thought the end of the fourth movie was the actual end, with how it ended in Galorum and her happening
Evan Longacre lol same till I found out, and now my life is ruined
I loved those movies I wished they still played them
Amazing video, really underlines the best qualities about these movies. As someone who grew up with these movies it’s great to see that there are many others out there that absolutely loved these films. I see other youtubers still posting about these films.. in freakin 2018!! Really gives me hope that they’ll (hopefully🙏🏽) eventually make the correct decision & finish the series off.
I thank this franchise for setting me on the path to becoming a mofo with a need for speed, just last week my go kart topped out at 55mph
Jose ricotaconachoquesadillamandillajones 245 more to go
I didn't see World Race until I was 8 or 10, I'm now 19 and I still love the movie. When I found out about Acceleracers, I was a bit if-y and stayed away from it, but after hearing this, I think it's time I gave the full series the binge watch it deserves.
we absolutely need those last two films, I can't sleep at night since I was 6
Don’t worry I still love these films so many years later, and now I finally know will it was cliff hanged
I love these movies
I rewatched them so many times
Too bad we will never get to see the 5th and 6th movies 😩
Great content!!!!
Im subscribing
1 ''Cons'' of the movie:
It never continued or finished the series... :(
I loved these movies and watched them yesterday so brutally underrated
The character writing was actually really good, the characters all had realistic reactions to pretty much every scenario. The cast itself was diverse, but it wasn't forced diversity, it felt natural and realistic. The female characters weren't "strong" in the sense the word has been given today, they were well written, just like the rest of the cast.
How did a 2005 children's series do character writing than many modern, high budget, hollywood movies can today?
I seriously wish the series gets continued eventually or we get some closure. This was my childhood and i'm very much disappointed in the complete lack of an actual ending.
thank god someone else knows about this wonderful series, I've loved it my whole life. where my acceleracer fandom at?!
You are not alone I loved these movies. I loved them so much that I planned to make a script for the 5th one when I knew it was cancelled but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Who knows they may continue it some other time. Until then I will enjoy what they gave us.
Nostalgia hitting HAAAAAARRRRDDDD!!!! The toy cars were great on the track too.
Overall, pretty good summary for why this was an entertaining series. One thing I wish hadn't happened, though, was sidelining Kadeem. He was such an awesome character in World Race, and I was bummed with what they did with him. Also, another major thing that made this series so fun were the awesome car designs. Acceleracers definitely released some of the coolest looking cars known to Hot Wheels. :)
Vert is my favorite character in world race but in acceleracers shirakio is my favorite character because of the baseline and deroa ii
I watched these when they came out. I'm a fan of this series too. I grew up with these movies and thought I was the only one as well. Fellow fans have found each other.
You’re not alone. I also watch these movies back when I was 13 and 15. Even when Battle Force 5 was on, I still had hope for the next Acceleracers movie. Does anyone notice that the only ones who never use a Accelcharger was Monkey, Porkchop, and Wild.
I love these movies! they're some of my favourites ever. I've had and loved them for my whole life, at least of what I can remember... It could just be nostalgia, but I really love it. It's the exact series I always wanted... Probably also the reason why I grew up to love cars and racing and stuff now.
also, battle force 5. WHAT DID YOU DO TO VERT
Wow. I'm really flashed right now because of how awesome this video is!
After seeing it I instantly subscribed.
I'm a huge AcceleRacers fan myself and I'm so glad I found your channel.
Great list and wonderful video! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad I'm not the only fan...
"Son, we need to talk."
I was 10 when I first started watching the Acceleracers series on CN. Now I'm 25 and I still remember those exact words coming from Vert's father. Talk about the ultimate cliffhangers of the century.
11:28 his wheels have no studs how does he put on his rims??
Magic
That drone technology
Self tappers. 💯
I subbed ONLY because I'm not the only one in this fandom and this video is great! you should so acceleracers theories, but avoiding the ending theories.
Well thank you! That means a lot! And perhaps, it sounds very interesting.
So growing up I've always been into the "car scene" in late elementary - early middle school had these movies and then grew with fast and furious movies, anyways I'm part of a car crew and one of my decals is a teku logo XD, I'll show this video to the crew later to show them what my child hood car influence was! Thanks for the video
Kadeem is Middle Eastern.
Taro is Japanese.
Shirako is probably Japanese.
Nolo is... Hispanic...? Maybe? Tone was his brother and was very Hispanic sounding and looking.
Tork is African American
God I loved acceleracers, I guess we can only dream for a 5ft and 6th
I remember watching these as a kid. Imagine my surprise to see there's a fandom for it.
I am thoroughly pleased that this has almost 17,000 views. You're not the only one :)
Straight up going to my favorites list. I loved the Hotwheels series by Mantel Entertainment and was so upset we never got a proper ending to the series and there were afew unresolved plot points that would have needed the last two unreleased movies. All the same, I go back to old videos and realized how much love was put into the plot, characters and themes. It makes it so much better looking back at it all and knowing this was so much more than just a bunch of cool looking cars (which they were lol sling shot was my favorite)
thank you for making this video i have loved the acceleracers for years and still have and watch all of the dvds
+Adam Demichael Of course! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Another consistently between highway 35 and at least the first movie of Acceleraters between Vert and Markey"Wild". Towards the beginning of the movie when they are racing in the desert towards Tesla's old HQ markey is driving up and drives past the Metal Maniacs to the Teku he hits Karma and Kurt but not Vert. Because Vert was Markey's team leader in World Race. Not to sure if it's because he had respect for Vert or just because he's never wronged Markey.
Another detail you may have missed was when Vert was talking with his dad at home in his brief case you can see a key for a silencers car.
Also the Swamp realm has opened twice.
Son(y), we need to talk...
I'm 26 and I'm a fan! Loved this video review!
I loved this series so your not alone, I'm hoping someone picks the series back up and does a good job with the last movies
5:06 “Iced Over” am I the only who genuinely laughed at that pun...
wow this was mad long ago that you uploaded this and i'm pretty late to the show but I gotta say this series was my childhood. I watched the world race every day pretty much when I was in pre-school and I watched every acceleracers many times each as well. I was devastated when the "final" movie ended with a cliff hanger and then the rights to the series were sold. It may have been for kids but to be honest the storytelling in this series is better than a whole lot of entertainment released today
Kadeem isn't Asian. He says in the world race that he is from the sahara desert which is in Egypt. Taro however is of Japanese descent
Carma & Taro
"They kind of iced over that."
*cut to Ice Realm incident*
even after so many years after these movies were released and yes i am a girl as well and i loved watching the 5 Hotwheels movies since they were apart of my childhood and now in 2018 and my only wish is that this series was picked up again, even by today's animation standards it could work and revive a spark for fans and answer some long forgotten unanswered questions. but Banjee's cheesy one liner still cracks me up even to this very day
Your not the only one in this fandom. I love both of these series but I grew up with High Way 35.(I didn't find out about Accelaracers till much later.) I even collected the cars based off the film. Although I feel I'm the only one who remembers the MMO Planet Hot Wheels.... THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD. I can remember buying the High Way 35 cars and putting in the codes that came with them on the website and unlocking and playing with them in the game. I miss Planet Hot Wheels... and this series.
This feels a tad stiff but you put effort into it and it shows. The passion is definitely felt, and for a fellow fan of the series I can only commend you for making this video. Thanks for doing this, you've brought some fans together.
I don't care what anyone says, Vert Wheeler is the true World's Best Driver of Hot Wheels.
Even after sony bought the rights to hotwheels, vert still is... BF5 is not connected btw
dont worry ive watched these movie multiple times and i want nothing more then for them to come back
Sony only held the soundtrack rights to AcceleRacers @ 0:33, not the film rights as a an additional pair of films weren't planned officially outside of fan content.
1st, you did great making this video
2nd, I love this series and I'm still looking for all the cars
And 3rd THEY COULD HAVE FINISHED ACCELERACERS THAN DO BF5 RIGHT?!
*when I was teenager and finally finished the series, I was like....THATS IT I need answers!*
Great video! The body proportions were over exaggerated and thankfully people notice that. Also great to see that people agree Karma might just be the best driver out of the Teku and Metal Maniacs
***** Thanks for the nice words! And yeah, Karma hardly gets the credit she deserves!
Never knew they working on a 5th and 6th it gets me really excited to know what could have been
As a note, apparently there's some form of community for this in the game "Distance" on steam. There's a bunch of YT vids of canon or custom "realms" being raced.
Awesome video, subscribed! I loved this series as a kid (I have all of the cars from both movies plus a hyperpod and drone sweeper), and I still watch them! Too bad Kadeem was my favorite character.. And what the drones did to him, oh god. It's brutal, trust me. It could be the darkest thing in the movie franchise?
I absolutely loved these movies when I was a kid. Came to respect them more now, even before watching this video.
Also watched through them all again because why not.
SPOILER WARNING
I watch them all the other day, but I do have to mention there was some misplacement in lore or plot. In the movie highway 35 the drones said throughout the movie that they can't take the wheel from the racing realm that only a human racer can, and despite it being returned it they got it, and it wasn't clear on how they got it. Even at the start of the first acceleracers when it shows Tesla trying escape them would be the most logical placement, but they were focused on getting him leaving the idea that he had the wheel of power in a toss up
You're not the only one that watched them. About 4 years back my brother and I found a 4 disc DVD set for these and we freaked out. But it kinda got ruined when I didn't see an ending after watching them. It's still one of my favorite childhood movies
Fun Fact: (either the director or the creator, idk i forgot) said that Battle Force 5 is canon to the AcceleRacers timeline and was supposed to be a continuation after the 6th movie
I'd love to edit the Acceleracers movies and put some eurobeat into it. *
1:15 the name of that song is get to the finish line
If it wasn't for these series, I would have never liked cars the way I do now, and I would have been a totally diferent person.
THIS is my childhood in a movie!
omg I love this, it brings back so much nostalgia
