Such a good movie. Not perfect, but everything I could ever want from a live-action Speed Racer.
Now, if only they could have competently marketed it! I never heard anything good about it, picked up the DVD years later, was shocked with how much I adored it, and then spent years after showing it to friends who thought it would be crap and were amazed.
(Late for a convention one year; friend refused to stop the movie so we could leave on time! She was sitting inches from my TV and that was that!)
