![]() He obviously hasn’t lost his touch as he is about to qualify for the Redline when Frisbee sets off an explosive on his car and causes him to lose and crash, keeping him from attaining the spot in his gold Trans Am. “Sweet” JP and his partner, Frisbee, were tied in with race fixing for the mob and JP even took the fall and went to prison for it, but now he’s out and racing again. The cars go thousands of miles an hour and there are no rules governing what can and cannot be on said cars, so most of the cars have weapons to fire at opponents, hover jets, various sizes of grappling hooks, and those are just some of the “normal” upgrades. The Redline is an intergalactic race that happens every 5 years, but only the 8 greatest racers in the galaxy are able to compete in said race. Both are completely adequate descriptions. ![]() This movie has been described as Hokuto no Tengen Toppa Initial D and my personal description is Wacky Racers combined with F-Zero and Death Race. It’s the kind of movie where you think that the movie can’t possibly get better, the movie then punches you in the face and defies all expectations. It’s the kind of movie that within the first 10 minutes of the film, you are already hooked and forget that you haven’t even seen the opening title yet. It will flat out not be the movie for you. Redline is the kind of movie that is absolutely insane and just revels in it, if you can’t suspend your disbelief or not really concern yourself with silly things like physics or practicality, you will not like this movie. The film is unfortunately not available in America legally yet, but I will most definitely be supporting this movie the day it is available in America (November 14th of this year, by the way). The Japanese Blu-Ray was just released not too long ago, and it was uploaded to the internet (as things always are) for everyone to enjoy. It originally premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival in 2009 along with Madhouse’s previous film, Summer Wars, but it didn’t actually open in Japan until over a year later in 2010. Redline is a movie that most of you have probably never heard of. Now with that silliness out of the way, it’s time to talk about a whole other breed of silliness. It feels like only yesterday… (it really wasn’t that long ago). Guess what everybody! This is the 100th post on the blog! I remember when this blog barely ever updated.
