I’ve had a few emails today about the pair of international Speed Racer trailers that recently hit, and as it turns out at least one of them is worth a look. Trailer #2 gives us more of a look at both Trixie and Racer X, along with a heftier dose of the technicolor vomit that zips through every frame. I’m not quite convinced this movie has any reason to exist — it still looks like a zany tech demo to me — but if the Wachowskis are going to edge way out onto a limb I’m glad they’ve gone as far as it’s possible to go.
Here’s the full page of trailer and format selections.
Or go directly to the first or second new trailer in the best available Quicktime quality.
EDIT: Well, those links are down for the moment. Until I know if they’ve been pulled for good, here’s a YouTube link for the first trailer, and I’ve embedded the second below.
EDIT 2: The YouTube trailers have been pulled so I killed the embed, but for the time being the original page of trailer links points to working Flash versions of each trailer.

Well this is gonna start a whole new generation on shrooms.
Would John Goodman please stop drinking and hook up with the Coen Brothers again? I can see why the Academy won't nominate comedic performances most of the time, but Goodman deserved a nomination for 'The Big Lebowski.'
This movie looks amazing, it has a unique visual still and I for one am happy the brothers are taking such a daring chance. Sure it computery-looking, but I love it. I love all the colors and the race action looks mind-blowing. Technicolor vomit? Your HEAD is technicolor vomit, mister!
HA!
I've never cared for the cartoon but I can't wait to check this out on the big screen. Who needs shrooms when they are taking care of the trails for you.
Any reason to exist? This shit looks crazy, as in crazy-like-we've-never-seen-this-before. I had no interest in this before seeing trailer # 2, and now I'm pumped.
They should have made "wipeout: the movie" instead…
Question: Did anyone actually watch this cartoon as a kid? Even when I was 6 I thought this cartoon was dumb. That said, I got to admit I really like the look of this movie, if little else.
chud.com = bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, whine whine whine
The 'look' is cool, but this movie looks dumb as shit. Kind of a shame more people will see Emile in this than in Into The Wild.
I just pray Racer X gets all weepy and teary eyed every time he sees Speed until he finally tells Speed his secret.
I used to watch the ever-lovin SHIT out of this cartoon in the erarly 70s. Dumb? Yeah. So what? It was a cartoon. This, on thother hand, just has a cartoon point of view and looks awesome. Plus….c'mon. We got the monkey. What more would you expect from this property?
Looks like the Wachowskis prepared for this by tripping balls and watching the 2 Charlie's Angels back to back for about 48 hours or so. That trailer made my eyes bleed.
The Wachowskis, huh? I wonder in what act Speed Racer will start dressing in drag and blowing dudes.
Seriously, boring cartoon and the movie looks like the worst goddamn thing I've ever seen.
I think that trailer gave me diabetes.
Speed kills, asshole!
I would suggest that you guys pull these kind of articles. Nothing says professional like an article about broken links and pulled U2 videos.
