Video game adaptation Gran Turismo may have you in the mood for racing movies so with that in mind, Honest Trailers invites you to Speed Racer, which exists in a world where the economy is 95% car-based and the races feel like you’re watching an earthquake at the Hot Wheels factory.
With the movie’s most popular sport being a maniacal mix of Formula One one and people outright trying to murder each other, Speed Racer feels so fast-paced and insane you’ll swear you’re watching the original ’60s cartoon. After making three hit Matrix movies, the Wachowskis gleefully entered their flop era. First was Speed Racer: a colorful box office dud that’s become a cult classic. Then came Cloud Atlas: a colorful box office dud that’s become a cult classic. Then Jupiter Ascending… annnnd you get the idea.
So if you’re looking for a racing movie where the secret, sacred advice is “close your eyes” then Speed Racer will be right up your motorway.
