Film School Rejects: Win a Copy of Speed Racer on DVD!

  • JesusS · 1 year ago
    Oh my god, the ending. It was like, "2001" but right when he gets to the finish line I got chills. It's sad that it got low reviews, but I guess it was because they were looking for a KIDS movie. That wasn't what they were going for though, and I'm glad they went in this direction.
  • Moses Robins · 1 year ago
    The Casa Cristo race. It was definitely thee most animated portion of the movie. The money sign eyes? C'mon, that was classic cartoon! And the catapulted bee hive?! God, did that race surge a rush through my veins!
  • Tim · 1 year ago
    I dunno. I never saw it. :D
  • Joshua · 1 year ago
    The first time you see Rex as Racer X, when he rescues that guy from a moving 18-wheeler.
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    Aside from Christina Ricci as Trixie (me-ow!), my favorite part was the ninja fight in the hotel room. Just a great little scene. And I'm in the same camp as JesusS... it really was a shame this film tanked and got terrible reviews. It was a fun movie, but seemingly, most critics seem to forget that films are supposed to be like that. Especially summer films (not to mention films based on a cartoon series).

    Don't have time to win this,,, I'm just gonna buy the sucka.

    Speed Racer,,,,, was ahead of its time!!!!!
    Great movie!!!!!
  • Doug Kuriger · 1 year ago
    My favorite part was watching my nephew and my daughter's faces as they got lost in the movie. I'm not sure who had a better time.
  • Sami Al-Qaisi · 1 year ago
    I've never actually seen the movie, but the previews looked wicked!
  • Rita A · 1 year ago
    Watching it with my 8 year old nephew. He was amazed I knew all the characters (from my childhood of course).
  • chuck · 1 year ago
    Any part with Spritle!
  • Glen · 1 year ago
    Pretty much any part where they were racing
  • Peter · 1 year ago
    The race scenes were visually amazing, and Ricci looked the part perfectly.
  • Dan M. · 1 year ago
    The end credits
  • Jian Hennings · 1 year ago
    Definitely the races. I'm actually one of the 3 people who really enjojed the movie. The comedy was quite good as well.
  • Jonathan · 1 year ago
    Any of the racing scenes...... need I say more? Visuals were INCREDIBLE!
  • Marilyn · 1 year ago
    I never saw it thats why I want to win the dvd
  • Jon · 1 year ago

  • Ray · 1 year ago
    one word. Rain.
  • Mike D · 1 year ago
    Well...that's why I am entering this giveaway....I never saw the movie and I am curious to see what it's like.
  • Dee · 1 year ago
    I dont know!! Why havent I seen this movie!! Im literally smacking myself as i speak. I'm a disgrace of a fan. lol
  • The Comedian · 1 year ago
    "Sometime the things you do takes my breath away," That flashback line at the end of the movie gets me every time.
  • Mike P · 1 year ago
    I loved the cartoonish style of the whole movie. The one that sticks out in my head is the mid-race fight sequence that completely jettisoned any relationship with realism, but was just fun and entertaining, and fit the movie perfectly.
  • ddog · 1 year ago
    The rescue scene with racer x!
  • Arjun · 1 year ago
    Loved the movie. I couldn't catch the movie on the first day. So, learnt from the
    reviews that the movie wasn't upto scratch. Boy was I thrilled. The wachowski
    Brothers did it again. The colours, the races. It was one hell of a ride.
  • Christy Schultz · 1 year ago
    I would have to say watching it with my neice...she got the biggest kick out of it.
  • Bowza · 1 year ago
    I would definitely have to say the desert rally race, Casa Cristo! I mean, what wasn't to love! I have never seen the concept of dueling cars done so colorfully and so imaginatively, especially when the Mach Five was in action. It was great to see most of the cars classic functions at work, especially the "chi-wok-wok" sound of the jump-jacks.
    And Racer X jump-jacking into another car and punching the driver's face, priceless! Not to mention the fight-scenes were silly and definitively cartoonish, which is how they should be. Pssh, forget what the critics said about this movie...
  • Grant · 1 year ago
    The last 20 minutes or so I was sitting on the edge of my seat. I honestly had no expectations for this movie and was blown away by how into it I got. Very surprised.
  • Momo · 1 year ago
    Dude! Racer X vs. the missle-equipted truck! Whoa, was that visualy capturing!
  • David F · 1 year ago
    The best part of the movie was the special effects.

  • 790 · 1 year ago
    Cool Contest !!!!

    Wow,,,, look at all the positive comments on Speed Racer !!!!!!!! I could use your help over at Sreen Rant, I'm like the only Speed Racer fan over there. ;-)

    Hey Bowza,,, if you listen carefully,,, the sound effect for the jump jacks is....."jump-jump-jump-jump" but its done real fast, and they run it thru a sound processor.

    Speed Racer,,, one of the best films in 2008. Just a fun ol time.
    Spritle almost steals the film. Ricci was smoking hot.
  • Timothy K · 1 year ago
    Easily the most prominent joy of this movie was the fact that Speed Racer is back! So hooked on series. Anyway, being a Wachowski brother's film, the special effects were out of this world and obviously the best part of the movie. The effects in this movie destroyed their previous work on the Matrix. The warp bubbles and flipping moves were crazy and nothing I've seen before in the movie. Leave it to the Wachowski brothers to push special effects to their limits!

    I also enjoyed a lot of the smaller character rolls, most outstanding was John Goodman's role and of course Chimp-Chimp! <3
  • April · 1 year ago
    I didn't get to see the movie, but I loved the original Japanime animation in the cartoon series.
  • Vincent Colombo · 1 year ago
    I enjoyed this entire movie so I don't know if I could pick one specific moment. I guess
    perhaps the ninjas? Anyway, I'm with everyone else who thinks it's too bad this movie didn't
    do better. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the money spent to see it
    on imax.
  • Grant · 1 year ago
    HEY...
    GIVE IT TO ME!!!
    i haven't seen it, so i need it!!!
    I promise to watch it and than... after watching it i promise to come back on here and tell you my favorite part.

    The trailer was pretty freaking awesome though.

    ps... DVD PLEASE!
  • Steven · 1 year ago
    I thought that the part when Spritle and Chim Chim are watching TV and then start pretending to fight, was so stupid is was kinda funny.

    I also liked when they revealed that Rex was Racer X. I already knew who he was, but it was still a very emotionally charged part, and i enjoyed it.
  • Alex · 1 year ago
    I haven't seen the movie even though my son begged me for 6 weeks to see it. Since the question doesn't state the movie or cartoon, I will say my favorite part of the cartoon was when the car sawed through trees.
  • 790 · 1 year ago
    Yeah Alex,,, they don't use the saw blades but you do see them in the film.
    There's even Parana fish in the film.
    Its great.
  • windycindy · 1 year ago
    Hi, I have enjoyed speed racer since I watch the cartoon as a child! Please enter me in this fantastic drawing. Thanks, Cindi
  • Raz · 1 year ago
    Haven't watched the movie. But I loved the cartoon and the theme song.
  • Ken Robinson · 1 year ago
    I haven't seen the movie so I'm desperate to win this.
  • Thuender · 1 year ago
    I liked the final race scene. I saw it on IMAX because I knew it would be cool! I almost threw up at the end because it was so intense. I think my son became more ADHD after it as well. That is why I would like to have a copy to slow it down and see it over and over again!
  • Zap Rowsdower · 1 year ago
    The last race scene. It was quite awesome.
  • George · 1 year ago
    The hype!
  • Tivius · 1 year ago
    So much of the movie was great -- I loved it and still have it as my pick for overall best film of the Summer.

    That being said: I saw it on opening night with a friend, and actually got tears in my eyes during the final seconds of the Grand Prix race! It was as if the Wachowski Bros had extracted all the best moments of my childhood dreams - and turned them into this beautiful, wild and electric scene. While all of the races in the movie are incredible, (and the end is completely predicitable) ... Who cares?
    It is as it should be: PERFECT.

    The colors, the style and that baaaaaaaaaaaadazzzzzzzzz wobbly one wheel "landing" had me out of my seat ! Insanely joyous and triumphant.
    During that screening, the theater erupted with applause at that moment!
    Just awesome. =)

    With all the tough-guy cliches and "muddled dark heroes" paraded in front of us this year -- three cheers for this little gem of a movie; it dared to be different, it celebrated family and truth and Good (and MILK!).... and truly ...
    --- it was what every kid scooting around on the floor with Hot Wheels dreams of.

    Racer for the win, man. Hell to the yeah...
    GO SPEED GO !

  • 790 · 1 year ago
    One of my favorite scenes was when Speed said No to the evil CEO,,,,,

    And yeah that theme song at the end made me feel like I was 6 years old.
  • Jeffrey · 1 year ago

  • Terry · 1 year ago
    Never saw it but wanted to

  • Will Doran · 1 year ago
    It's tough to pick just one great scene. It seems they all were amazing. The way the Wachowski's adapted Speed Racer was truly brilliant. A fan of the 60's show, I was more than pleased with the adaptation. My favorite moment, if had to choose, is the opening sequence, with Rex Racer driving, and on the same track, we have Speed morph into what his older brother once taught him. I could feel the friendship and values that connected the two brothers.

    And the Grand Prix, that was amazing.
  • Nalon · 1 year ago
    The BEST part......

    Speed (Emile Hirsch) and his family are at the Casa Cristo 5000 and it is the night before the second leg of the race. Speed is oblivious to what lies ahead. A gang of NINJAS break into the hotel room and Speed and his dad (John Goodman) are left to fend for themselves in an effort to protect Speed's racing dreams and their family. Action pursues and Goodman and Hirsch leave a pile of pained NINJAS lying in the hotel room floor. Speed's younger brother walks back into the room and utters, "Is that a NINJA?" Goodman retorts, "More like a NON-JA!" Classic Wachowski writing and the BEST part of the film!
  • 790 · 1 year ago
    Lol Nalon,,, that was a great scene!!!
    What's with all these ppl that didn't see this movie in the theatres ????? :-( ya didn't help out ??
    If more ppl would have seen Speed Racer, we would be getting a 2 disc dvd collettors edtion!! Maybe with some added Footage !!! Damn !
  • judy brittle · 1 year ago

  • Melissa · 1 year ago

  • Danny Davis · 1 year ago
    Racer X is the man!
  • Solomon Choi · 1 year ago
    The special effect!
  • adrion s · 1 year ago
    My favorite part is when Speed and Racer X helped win the second leg of the Casa Cristo race. At the end Speed jumped out of his car and did the whole arm sweep and pose just like the opening sequence on the cartoon. That was the defining Speed Racer moment for me.
  • Marc · 1 year ago
    I like the colors and the contest of the movie via the colors.
  • Harold · 1 year ago
    When Speed Racer marked the scantron with his cousin's name. I laughed so hard
    because it reminds me of my best friend's incredibly short attention span.
  • Victor V. · 1 year ago
    The CGI was great in the racing scenes.
  • Alex · 1 year ago
    My favorite part of the movie, or should I say parts, is without a doubt John Goodman as Pops! I mean he was completely badass when he got into those short lived fights and pretty much owned anyone that crossed his path. I'm glad he's back in movies
  • tom homrich · 1 year ago

  • Virgie · 1 year ago
    My kids loved the racing scenes.
  • Andrew Pham · 1 year ago
    if I had to choose it would probably be the CGI part of the movie
  • paul · 1 year ago
    the Casa Cristo race
  • valerie mabrey · 1 year ago
    When he is racing of course
  • George · 1 year ago
    I loved the over the top animation sequences. Yes, it did break the continuity, but it was just too cheesy to ignore.
  • annette anderson · 1 year ago
    I would love to win this movie for my 4 yr. old grandson who lives with me.My favorite and his was the Ninja fight in the Hotel!
    Hope we win!Thanks.
  • Troy · 1 year ago
    All 3 of the races were spectacular, and fun to watch. Really captured what a live-action version of the tv series Should look like.

    Oh, and when Speed says: "Get that weak shit off my track!"
  • Stewart · 1 year ago

    THE WHOLE THING!!!! It was awesome, it brought a rush of nostalgia to me about how me and my BFF used to fight over who was cuter Speed or Racer X !!!! 30 some years later we are still BFF and (because the movie really stuck to the cartoon outline), we are STILL arguing over who is cuter!!! OOPs telling my age, I really enjoyed it!!! Great movie, My 9 yr old son is still mad at me for not taking him with us to see it!! LOL
  • K. Cleaver · 1 year ago
