“Where’s the Mach 5? You added something to it didn’t you?” “Some defensive modifications” “The whole thing out of balance isn’t it??” “It pulls left and rides kinda stiff” (Hrmmmm) SPARKY!!! Even when they’re in the heat of the moment Pops still wants the Mach 5 in top tier shape 😂😂
At least Speed stood his ground and faced his demons to do the right thing... it almost reminds me that everyone should stand for what’s right for what someone wants to do in the world...
@ZephyrBW I mean yeah. Because that's what it's like. Which makes the moment he talks to speed before the grand prix so moving. I think pops reflected both on how he's acted with Rex and speed in the past. Pops may not always be perfect, but he's a good father.
@@kevinwillems8720 It only takes one mistake to make you wish you could take it back. Honestly was on speeds side when he called out the old man. Pop crossed the line when he brought rex and to see Speed rub the old wound yeah, was a low blow but it really was sticking it to the old man.
The best thing about this scene is that both sides are in the right and in the wrong. In Speed’s case, he’s right to want to do something about the corruption of Royalton, but he definitely broke his father’s trust in doing so. In Pops’ case, he’s right to be mad that Speed lied to him and participated in a race that could have gotten him killed, like his brother, but, at the same time, it’s clear that some of the anger is him taking out his unresolved grief over Rex on Speed, which is definitely unhealthy. This makes the reconciliation between the two of them especially cathartic.
Pops: "God you sound like Rex! You wanna die like him too? Would that make you happy?! Speed: "Don't take it out on me because you feel guilty for what happened to Rex!"
Once Mama Racer said her piece, Pops changed the discussion right quick. He’s not sleeping on the couch over this. Plus, it’s still his car. If someone wants to mod it, he wants it to be done right without throwing off the balance.
I get where pops is coming from. He didn't yell at speed, because he was mad. He yelled because he was scared. It scary to be responsible for the lives you protect.
Long ago I always found this to be a tense moment for the movie. I mean Pops DOES have a good reason to be angry, his second son has disobeyed him AND he's racing in the same race which killed his first-born son. If you remember the flashback scene where the family saw the death of Rex, Pops was very helpless and it gets even worse when you remember the last moments between Pops and Rex where the LAST thing Pops said to Rex as "You walk out that door, you better not ever come back". When Pops says "You know what this race did to this family", I have a feeling it did MORE than just tore the family apart emotionally. Talk about Adaptational Angst Upgrade. I never actually watched the original Speed Racer Anime nor am I a fan of the franchise, but if you recall the original Anime, Pops was completely against the idea of Speed Racing and would always try and forbid Speed from being a professional race car driver. In the movie, Pops is just fine with Speed Racing, BUT when it comes to the Carsa Crisco, that's where the Racing-Forbidding Aspect of Pops comes in because the Carsa Crisco is not only a Cross-Country Rally which in the world of the Speed Racer Movie is considered a Back-Alley Sport filled with Jackals, Headhunters and Thugs but its the same Rally Rex was killed in. I love the way the movie utilized Pops' "Racing-Forbidding" trait for that part of the movie. Unlike the original Anime where the conflict between Speed and Pops would be with Pops being a motor-mouth saying things like: "Iforbidyoutobeaprofessionalraceruntilyoureolderandhavemoreexperiencebehindthewheel!", this conflict between the two is quite realistic, he doesn't speak fast, just very angrily. Also at 1:23 thank goodness Mom got involved and broke them up. I mean, God only knows what would have happened if she hadn't. Oh, and yeah, I'm gonna talk about the part where Sprittle totally ruined the dramatic moment with the whole "WOO-HOO! Room Service!". Honestly, I think the movie did an excellent job with modernizing the Anime while being very faithful to the original source material.
Honestly, if Speed's mom hadn't been there, Speed and Trixie would have been completely on their own, and Pops might have repeated his mistake with Rex. And soon enough, Racer Motors might have gone out of business, and the family would probably be permanently torn apart on top of all that. All because Speed was doing what he felt was right.
I’ve been looking for critical analysis in dramatic scenes in this movie and it doesn’t get enough credit. This isn’t a cringey anime movie, it was made with a lot of love and care and each character has depth. Especially when speed was talking to royalton about how much racing means to his family and how royalton pulled the rug from under him. This movie is good but for anyone who doesn’t know speed racer or watched the original cartoon it would be a very confusing mess. But scenes like this is what makes this, in my eyes, a perfect adaptation of the source material.
@@I_O246I never watched the anime, though I’ve heard about it somewhere. So, this was my first introduction. But, I believe this adaptation did real well, and struck the franchise at its core
Having watched the original series since I was a kid, when Cartoon Network was airing reruns in 1997 and having later collected all the original episodes on DVD, I can say that Pop’s was really only like that for the first 4 episodes and because Speed had more or less only JUST started racing and Pops wanted him to get more experience first due to Rex crashing a car Pops had spent years working on after entering a race behind Pops’ back which is what led to Rex running away from home in the original series. But after episode 4, Pops had no problem with Speed racing because in Pops’ eyes, Speed had proven he was a capable racer. Speed in this movie has been racing for we don’t know how long before the start of the movie and he grew up around it and had been on the track (Thunderhead), with Rex and as such been exposed to it his whole life.
@@kodimarto9910 its pretty fuckjing real and they both have hangups, but they both love the mom. Once she says stop that sit, they said their piece but speed became a man here. He knew what had to be done and he followed through and stood his ground. Once mom speaks up though, drop it. That was her son too
I love that Pops is still there for Speed. He may not like that his second son is racing in the same race that killed his first son, but when he knows he can't convince Speed to come home, he sticks by him and gets to work on the Mach 5.
Funny thing is that Speed did that once before. In a promotional video (The Wide World of Racing), Speed snuck off to Thunderhead when he wasn't allowed to, Nitro gave him the keys to his car and Speed drove around the track. Pops found out, and did that exact thing you said. If he couldn't convince him otherwise, then he can at least make sure he's the one pushing him forward.
@@AJ-nh9qmNah they'll always be brothers to me. They transed, yes, but they'll always be brothers. Just as a transsexual father (a father who is a trans woman) is still a father, a transsexual brother (a brother who is a trans woman) is still a brother. This means I still look at *The Wachowski Brothers!*
Unfortunately, it had steep competition at the box office in May 2008. Iron Man was released the week before, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out 2 weeks later, then Kung Fu Panda came out a month later. I think if the film had been released in fall 2008, it might have done better, though perhaps the recession at the time might have also put a dent in its chances.
I think that at the end of this movie racer X should have told speed and his family the truth that he is Rex and why he never came home so that they could be a family again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Racer X ninja fight, the camera shot was almost identical to a scene in matrix 3 (during the final battle) where neo kicks agent smith outta a window. The look, the turn, the crushing blow. The music was even more familiar. You could really feel the matrix, the Watchowski handprint, ESPECIALLY In the truck scene where Taejo is rescued by Racer X…cruncher is like a British Merovingian and then it’s guns, bullets and high speed onna highway all over again👀Mayn Simply down to the shades racer X had on…the darg even LOOKS LIKE NEO damn.
Hey, he IS Speed Racer! He's just speaking up for what he believes in. He's trying to do the right thing for his family and the racing league. And he's also strong and resilient.
@@andrewalker6050That's like saying George Asakura isn't Joseph Asakura. I'll pick the scrapped Joseph Asakura, who is a sarcastic anti-hero and a daredevil. The standard Joe Asakura is simply rebellious, but Imagi had potential to bring in depth to the Gatchaman franchise via a movie.
I'm tempted to see this now, if for no other reason than to find out where this stands in the Wachowski Hall of Shame next to "Jupiter Ascending" and "The Matrix Resurrections."

Speed gives us a motivational speech about growing up and living your own life.
When Speed and his father got into that argument, I was about to call homicide because somebody was going to kill somebody.

Speaking of Speed's mom, I like that she gets more screentime in the movie than in the original series. She's barely in the original series.
There is so much emotion packed into this one scene.
It's amazing so well acted and shot
The moment speed called out his dad for being the reason got killed was the moment ya realize this the most real family drama
