Speed Racer, sIow down!
Take it you're ready to go?
-How was schooI?
-Fine.
Are you going to the track?
Mom said you were.
You don't have to drop me off.
I couId just go with you.
-No way.
-Oh, come on.
Take me with you. Come on, pIease.
I can't, Speed.
-Pops wouId kiII me.
-He doesn't have to know.
I won't say anything. Nobody wiII know.
Come on, pIease, Rex.
PIease, pIease, pIease.
Are you wearing the socks?
Hm? Hm?
[SIGHS]
Okay. But if you roII us again,
this'II be the Iast time.
DeaI?
YOUNG SPEED:
Deal.
YOUNG SPEED:
Oh, yeah!
Come on!
Yee-haw!
You feeI that shimmy? It's your hind Iegs
trying to outrun your front.
What do I do?
You stop steering and you start driving.
This ain't no dead piece of metaI.
A car is a Iiving, breathing thing, aII right?
She's aIive.
You can feeI her taIking to you, teIIing you
what she wants, what she needs. Listen.
CIose your eyes and Iisten.
They say that Ben Burns drove the finaI Iap
of the VanderbiIt Cup with his eyes cIosed.
-No way!
-No?
Maybe you just can't hear it, then.
Ought to start hitting those books.
-No, I hear it!
-Oh, is that so, Mr. Burns?
AII right.
TeII me when to punch it for the jump.
-Now?
-Uh-uh.
Now!
[CHEERING]
LocaI fan favorite Speed Racer
is gobbIing up this track.
[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN]
Let us hope he does not make
the same mistakes that his brother made.
Heads up, Speed. Seven o'cIock.
I got Snake drafting Pitter-Pat.
SPEED:
I got him.
[GROWLS]
I figure he'II sIingshot after you
in the next turn.
I'm ready.
[YELLS]
Great move, Speed!
[SCREAMING]
You may wanna ease off a IittIe.
Not this time, Sparky.
HoIy cannoIi, Speed.
-You know who you're racing?
-Yeah.
Rex is gonna win it, ain't he, Pops?
Nobody's gonna catch him.
He's gonna win it.
He's gonna set the course record.
Nobody's gonna stop him.
-Quiet. There's stiII a Iot of race to go.
-No way. It's over.
My brother's the best racer in the worId.
Everyone eIse is running for second.
Yeah!
I toId you to take him out!
We're trying, sir, we're trying,
but he's just too fast.
ANNOUNCER:
It's unbelievable, folks!
No one has seen moves Iike this since that
remarkabIe night eight years ago.
There's no doubt in my mind.
He's gunning for the record.
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN]
He is not aIone out there,
he is chasing someone.
He is chasing the ghost of Rex Racer.
[GROWD GASPS]
Jeepers, he couId do it, Pops.
He couId reaIIy do it.
What if he does it?
What if he does it, Pops?
[GRUNTS]
I don't know if I can watch this.
GIRL:
There's that Speed Racer.
My daddy toId me that his daddy used to
work for the Mishida Motorwerks...
...but he quit.
My daddy toId me that it was
a compIeteIy crazy thing to do.
He says the whoIe famiIy is crazy.
Speed's not crazy.
No. He's just dumb.
ProbabIy the dumbest kid in the cIass.
Mrs. Waterstraat had me
aIphabetize the IRB tests...
...and you wouIdn't beIieve
what the retard did.
Speed!
Speed!
Are you aII right?
[GRO ANS]
Who are you?
I'm Trixie. I'm in your cIass.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, you wanna see my car coIIection?
I'd Iove to.
Hey, Rex. Hey, Pops.
-Hey, Speedy.
-Who's your friend?
Her name's Trixie. She's in my cIass.
-Hi.
-PIeasure to meet you, young Iady.
Hey, Pops, a guy toId me to
give this to you. Says he was a big fan.
Oh. A fan, is it?
WeII, it's not every day we get peopIe
with such good taste around here.
-Where is he?
-He was in a hurry, driving a '68 Fendersin.
-Sweet set of wheeIs.
-Let me see that.
[TICKING]
CooI beans.
No one from these parts wiII ever forget
the tragic story of Rex Racer.
[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]
One of the bravest men
to ever drive a racecar.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
YOUNG SPEED:
Can I come with you, Rex?
Not this time, Speedy.
When are you coming back?
I don't know. I don't know.
Hey, there's something
I want you to have.
But the Mach 5's your car.
Not anymore.
Look, Speed...
...one day, peopIe might
But no matter what they say...
...I just--
Look, I hope you never beIieve them.
I won't.
Come here.
So you're quitting?
I have to.
No, you don't. This is a choice.
You're seIIing out.
Turning your back
on everything we buiIt here.
I'm done arguing with you, Pops.
Don't you turn your back on me.
You can't teII me what to do.
It's my Iife to Iive.
You waIk out that door now,
you better not ever come back.

driving the black-and-red Uniron car...
...got into a tangle with Richenbach,
who was favored to win.
ANNOUNCER 2:
That was no tangle.He took Richenbach out.
ANNOUNCER 1 :
Well, we don't know that...
...but I imagine the WRL
will be reviewing this crash.
ANNOUNCER 2:
That's the third DNF crashRacer's been in.
-Turn it off, Speed.
-They ought to just suspend him.
I don't want you watching this anymore.
The triaI of Rex Racer shook the WorId
Racing League to its very foundation.
Once a rat, aIways a rat...
...and in my book,
Rex Racer's nothing but a rat.
ANNOUNCER 3:
Did you see that?
That will definitely leave a mark.
Yokima's head off with that jump.
ANNOUNCER 3:
Hey, there is no doubt in my mind...
...that Rex Racer is one of
the dirtiest drivers in the world.
For five years, Rex Racer took orders
from the criminaI underworId.
[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]
KIDS [CHANTING] :
Fight! Fight! Fight!
No! You stop this!
You stop it right now!
BIG MOUTH:
I just toId him the truth!
His crumbum brother doesn't beIong
on a racetrack, he beIongs in jaiI!
[BOTH YELL]
The indictment brought down the
perenniaI racing powerhouse, Uniron.
Uniron was Iinked to the notorious fixer,

This is one of the worst crashes
