Re: Mach 5-It's BRUTAL

Speed Racer was such a stupid show.

As a child I didn't know any better.

^Compared to Speed Racer, a lot of shows were gold mines - George of the Jungle, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Pink Panther, and Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Re: Mach 5-It's BRUTAL

I wouldn't put it past the Wachowski brothers to actually build a car like this. After all, they did build an entire freeway system for the car chase scene/GM commercial in The Matrix with the pre-production CTS. It's not difficult to build a car with 4 turbos and 1,700hp - but can it do what R&T says it does? That's the question.

You got that right. Loved it when I was 3 and 4. Now I look at it and think I must've been on something. Everyone talking in a fast hyperactive manner and each scene has a character doing maybe 3 of the same repetitive movements. Family Guy made fun of it.

The real question is: "Does it have Bluetooth?"

"Goldmines" does not make them less "stupid."

Although I enjoued all of the above myself. It's all entertainment, and a car that jumps/swims/rockets is no less plausible in the mind of a 10 year old than a talking dinosaur or moose.

It was a simulation using the engine for Gran Turismo 5.
