So there’s a music video out for this SPEED RACER thingy that’s happening soon, and while the music is god-awful (more on that later) this video is packed with enough eye candy from the film that it’s better than half the sludge MTV is showing these days. But then again, MTV doesn’t show videos anymore, so scratch that. And like I s aid, even though the music here is pretty low-grade, I found the chorus rubbing off on me towards the end. Damn rhythmic syncopation, gets me every time. Anyway, we’re getting closer and closer to the SPEED RACER release. It closes out Tribeca and then opens on May 9th. So does this music video—basically and extended trailer—excite you or not? Just say yay or nay. Thanks to 'B. Flatt' for the notification.

Extra Tidbit: The song is performed by Ali Dee and the Deekompressors. Who?

I've been digging this project since day one. Awesome to see it getting more and more fleshed out. All the trademarks from the series are right there, including the ending to the opening titles.

Not bad for the clips we see in the video but it could really do without the music. Maybe I was high on sugar when I was watching the cartoon and wearing my Speed Racer shirt but I forgot where the rap was in the show?

Even though the rap parts in the middle of the song were making me want to vomit, the video was awesome. I can't wait to see it. John Goodman is awesome.

Man, remember when the Wachowskis were interesting, original, and had good music taste?

Honestly, this movie looks like technicolor torture.

Watching that was pretty much how I felt about the first time I'd seen the Matrix effects. Kudos to the Wachowskis. I hope the rest of this movie falls into place, because it looks about like the perfect kid flick... barring that music. I mean, whoa... Again though, it's catchy and bright enough, but it has drive-me-bats potential. They could just drop out the additional verses and it'd...

It's Speed Racer, you don't need to sing or rap anything more about it. ST-U!

you're right about the music
Great to see some more footage. From what I've seen I think this looks pretty awesome. Even though it does look very cartoonish you gotta admit it looks pretty damn shiny. The Wachowskis were great with the Matrix and V for Vendetta, so I have faith in this.

Cool Video
Man, I really wanna see this movie! You think you may have seen all the cool scenes in trailers, then this video shows you even more! I love the classic Speed Racer pose at the end of the vid as well! :)
