I remember loving this old style movie-type thing with Speed Racer, but I don't know what it's called. It has the bit with the people causing traffic accidents, and then his race against a giant truck made of gold, and "commercials" inserted here and there as well as a time-traveling cave man thing. What is it called? I searched IMDb and I couldn't find what I was looking for.
Jesus! You look like hell!
In the summer of 1993, "The Speed Racer Show" was made and released in movie theaters across the country.
Basically, it was three episodes; The Race Against the Mammoth Car and The Car Hater, teamed up with a Colonel Bleep episode, and with three B&W vintage television commercials.
In preparation for the movie, a new theme by the Alpha Team, recorded in 1992, was used and integrated with the original U.S. Speed Racer theme music.
Sound effects from the series was mixed in with the music, so they were able to make a complete title song to run the length of the original animation.
Interpositives of all three episodes were struck from the original 35mm negatives housed at Tatsunoko Productions in Japan.
Peter Fernandez and Corinne Orr were flown out of New York to attend many of the public screenings.
For VHS home video, it was retitled, Speed Racer: The Movie, released on February 16, 1994, by Family Home Entertainment.
The 80-minute feature was re-released again, this time on DVD by Pioneeer on February 27, 2001.
The bonus material included of most value is the lengthy interviews with Peter Fernandez and Corinne Orr.
The DVD version of this film is currently out of print.
