================================================

An animated cartoon series back in the many years ago, and the director turn it to fit in big-screen.

This movie talks about the young guy, Speed, his life dedicated to racing.
Since young his mind had only one thing which is racing. Probably because his brother was the world famous racer among all.
However one day, his brother end up in an accident which was not supposed to happen, but it took his brother’s life.
Speed’s dream was to complete the race his brother never got to complete. So he trained hard for it.

One fine day, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed’s Mach 5 came to offer him a place and offer to race under him. When Speed turns down a tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only cause an outrage of the company’s maniacal owner but uncovers a secret of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of cunning bigshots who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits.

If Speed would not race under him, his family business would gone to burst. The only way to escape this is to win the Royalton’s racers, with the help from Speed’s girlfriend and family. The ending has just be the beginning for you to uncover.

Oh ya not forgetting for Rain’s fan, he was part of the movie too.
As, ermm a scheming evil guy.

>> Whacca I say :
This movie is one of the most colourful movie i’ve ever seen. The CG effects not only enhanced the bright colours but also the roller-coaster ride of the race. You can expect to see all sorts of weapons coming out from the cars, doing ruthless forbidden actions in order to win.
You will see race you’ve never seen in other movies due to the heavy usage of CG.
Do you know most of the scenes are shoot in front of a green background? =)
