VHS Movie Reviews of Speed Racer - The Movie
Movie Review: High on speed X ain't no YYZed-carziepoo
Summary: 5 Stars
The reason I give it 5 stars is because it is SUPPOSED to be "campy" also I always liked that big-and-beautiful violet/majenta train-car in a race track, very bazaar like japanese are. Where is the Line "this "train ain't goin nowheres, ain't gotta a motor?" must be another episode. The GRX enchanting hyper-speed in the rain episode isn't here but it's the awsome of awsome in the racecar scene. If Canada is "gothic" Japan is sci-fi ultra-future steel sky sleek.(Ventruism). Wondering why animae is always drawn with broad chins and pointed faces as they don't have either. 1970's animea is drawn better than today. Think goodness this was before the "BIG CUTE EYES" and pokemon dialogue in the goofy today ones. "If I wasn't over 13 I wouldn't be revieing this so why ask..." -check mark applied-/;
Summary of Speed Racer - The Movie
Excellent condition, plays great, includes the original VHS, case, and paperwork, fast shipped, ask me for my VHS List! :DDespite the title, this disc is not a feature, but three episodes of the Japanese animated series that debuted in the U.S. in syndication in 1967. In "The Car Hater" (episode 26) a whip-wielding tycoon whose son was killed in an accident damns all autos as "rolling weapons"--until Speed teaches him the error of his ways. In the two-part "The Race Against the Mammoth Car" (episodes 7 and 8), Speed enters the No Limit World Race and finds himself competing with a vehicle "200 yards long." In addition to winning the race, he helps Officer Detective recapture the stolen gold hidden in the monster vehicle. The animation is extremely limited, the storytelling is rudimentary, and the dialogue sounds like it was taken from a 19th-century dime novel. But Speed Racer is a rare example of pre-anime Japanese animation. Speed and Trixie recall the characters from a Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning show, with rounder heads, broader chins, wider mouths, and smaller eyes than recent heroes and heroines. (Speed looks like a blue-eyed Tony Curtis.) Speed Racer retains a following among Gen Xers who grew up watching the show; for anime fans, it's little more than a curiosity. Containing cartoon violence, including numerous car crashes, this unrated video is appropriate only for children 6 and older. --Charles Solomon
