Speed Racer was both a critical and financial failure at the box office. However, there is a bright side. Time magazine listed this film as one of the best sports films ever created. Of course, there isn't much to choose from. Nonetheless, that's pretty decent. Read on for some quotes from the movie Speed Racer.
Trixie: Move it, Speed! It's getting ugly out there!
Speed: [to Royalton] Racing's in our blood. Like for Pops, it isn't just a sport. It's way more important than that. It's like a religion. And in our house, the major sponsors are kind of like the devil. I don't mean to offend you, sir, and I do appreciate your offer, but after all we've been through, I don't think this kind of deal is for me.
Pops Racer: You think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn't work like that!
Speed: Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something.
Mr. Royalton: You walk away from me, you walk away from this deal, no matter how well you drive, you won't win, you won't place. I guarantee you right now you won't even finish the race!
Minx: [about Speed] He's going to be very good.
Racer X: He's going to be the best, if they don't destroy him first.
Speed: Racing is everything. For my family, it isn't just a sport, it's way more important than that... it's like... a religion.
Teacher: [to Speed's mother] Your son seems to be interested in only one thing. All he talks about, all he seems capable of thinking about... is automobile racing.
Racer X: Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don't get climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven. Mr. Royalton: [to Speed] Listen to me and listen good, kid, because I can give you one more history lesson. You're going to go to Fuji and you're going to try and prove that everything I've just told you is nothing but a lie. But no matter how well you drive, you won't win, you won't place. I guarantee you right now that you won't even finish the race!
