Personally, Slayer should have done the theme song.

LMAO i saw it on mute and the footage is awesome haha

Christina Ricci looks hot!!!!!!!!!! lol

Eh, I put it on mute and it was pretty damn awesome.

My wife and I saw the H&K flick today and there was a new, even more horrible SR trailer on it. I grew up watching that show and seeing that absurdist visual pillaging makes me nauseas.

The visuals were cool, but that song SUCKED! It was a pointless & unneccessary extension of a an already iconic theme song.

Good footage. Shitty song....

Yeah the song is pretty ridiculous but there's nothing wrong with the video. Anything with Emile Hirsch is a good thing in my book.

For the record, I was commenting on the song more than the video. The video actually has some cool new visuals.

Ok, loved The Matrix, V for Vendetta was great... but 'Speed Racer' ? Did this really need to be made into a movie? I can't imagine why anyone would want to see this, unless they put acid in the coke machine at the theater?

They should have used the version by Sponge. It's pretty awesome.

Where on Earth did this band come from? Are they a Black Eyed Peas "tribute"? Ick.

I think I might actually go see this ....

The video was cool,as well as the song.What the hell are you expecting?!A Grammy Award winning song!I have heard more negative feedback for the trailers of amovie that has yet to be released than neutral or favorable.What do you want?Ricky Bobby running around in his skivvies,"I',m on fire! Help me Jesus, Help me Tom Cruise!
It will be a good adaptation of a classic cartoon into movie.I think they will not destroy anyone's childhood hero.It will be fun.

yay music for 5 year olds. Clearly some kind of mashup attempt was made here between the original song and some club, ass shaking, dollar dollar bill ya'll watered down pop act and the cusp of further obscurity and ridicule.

Donivan: from the directors of The Matrix and the Matrix sequels I was expecting... oh, music as cool as what was featured in The MAtrix trilogy (yes, even the sequels had great music). And this music is... just... BAD.

Check out the FAR superior SPONGE cover version of the Speed Racer Theme here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=AliffgdyOuI

It was from about 12 years ago - shame the movie ain't using it.

@peter sciretta: amen. music bad. footage awesome!

@jeff: YES!?!!!!

Peter, do it better.

song sucked, visuals were sick

CGI looks worst than Next Gen video game graphics.

Donivan is a fucking loser, this music sucked - I could do it better with a panasonic keyboard.

BRIAN, DO IT. i want to hear it.

that wasn't sarcastic or a diss, I'm actually intrigued.

Yea, BRIIAANN,Do it.That was sarcasm and a diss, no offense to you ,dan.

Can this movie reall be good???? cause it looks as sh@tty as
the song I think not, I'd rather watch paint dry

I will, i'm doing it right now. It's not hard since this song was so awful.

Also your sense of humor sucks donivan, if you have to let everyone know its "sarcasm and a diss" then you are an unfunny loser.

Lets talk about Wesley Snipes

Song is horrible and the movie looks even worse.

YUKKK!!!!

Brian,"unfunny" is not a word,illiterate anus.What about Snipes?He did wrong ,got caught ,doing time.It doesn't deserve any media time.

This movie is one of those movies that was trying to be too faithful to the source material and sucked horribly.

Looks like the worst $150 millipn budget flick ever.

That song is not the Speed Racer theme song, and should not be attributed as such.

It's almost as bad as that lame-ass version of the Transformers theme song some idiots made for the movie.

At least they tried to make a song for the speed racer movie. Transformers theme remake sounded more like filler music that they wrote during lunch

Guys, this movie is designed for KIDS, and, as such, it's actually a pretty good song. It wasn't meant to please any of you, really.

Green day did a better cover about a decade ago.

"illiterate anus" will be my new term of the month.

movie remakes & hip-hop: for some reason they're both popular.

btw, this just reminded me that kick gurry is in SR...he's from alex proyas' 'garage days', great movie! i'm glad he's still working.

Donivan, your keyboard called, get a fucking space bar.

Snipes could have done a better version, from jail.

I don't think the Sponge cover would go well with this. That said I think they did a decent job of incorporating the original into what they did, except the bit where it gets all ReGAYton on it. Either way still can't wait to see this movie.

haha OC,

It's good to know people watched Garage Days other than just me

:P

I heard the song and for some reason I couldn't stop punching myself in the face. I couldn't figure out why and then I realized that getting hit in the face felt better and was taking my mind off of what was happening to my eyes and ears. I felt like I was being punished for being alive and conscious while this video was playing. My body will recover but my mind will never be the same. I think Im deaf in one ear and can only hear R. Kelly's Trapped in The Closet in the other. Damn you Speed Racer theme song!!!!!

bad song, but a funny thread.

This movie is going to be like preteen crack and an absolute shoe-in for a Nickelodeon award.

Put me down for die casts of all the cars.

Black Snake Moan Ricci to Speed Racer Ricci. That's a rollercoaster of conflicting lust if I ever saw one. :)

I did throw up just now. My stomach is still going at it, since I am drunk and all, but still... this should come with a warning for people that are epileptic.
never ever drinking 2 gallons of wine again!

I'm into heavy metal and extremely dislike hip hop (or whatever the hell else you would classify that Speed Racer song), so if I had to vomit every time I heard a bad movie theme song, I'd be bulimic. I tried watching the whole video here, but just couldn't do it. I had to just skip through it to get an idea of what it sounded like. It's probably not the worst thing I've ever heard, but still, no thanks. I'm with Captain Awesome, Slayer would have been the better choice to do the theme song.

Seriously.. this movie looks like it will BLOW with a capital "B,L,O,W"...

Captain Awesome, with my blessing.

dan, I tried to give you props and you come back at me like that?

Then.. F @ C k you too. Enough spaces for you?

Keep your comments addressed to what is the topic.

thiks movie looks as though it can be as good as battlefield earth

Yup, that's "music" nowadays. Might explain why I haven't bought a CD in 10 years.

"I'll be sipping and dipping
and get you tripping magnificent
if your in a predicament
knowing danger is immanent."

Just from that quote, I got that Speed Racer is an alcoholic drug dealer that gets out of sticky situations with his amazing hemp powers.

And if that was only about 5.6 seconds of understandable lyrics
-granted, I had to play it four times-
then what in the bloody hell does the rest of the song mean?

The music is supposed to be cheesy, Pete.

Kiddy rap :-D

I think it kicks ass. The song is on the official website and I've had it on repeat for days :-D
