I love what Tezla says when he calls Mark and Kurt for the Water Realm : "Nolo can't forget his brother and Mark Wylde can't forgive his." One line with a deep meaning.

Should have mentioned Monkey too! He's comedic relief, but without him the racers wouldn't have made it so far. Nitrox 3.0, Sparky, helping Tesla develop the new all-terrain tires - and had he not been caught by the Sweeper the Tork wouldn't have found out about Nolo being kidnapped in time.

I'd say you're beating yourself up just a little bit. Sometimes it's not your fault if you lose. Sure, when it comes to games and sports, you could say that. But in that case, skill and the game are the same thing - the more skill you have, the better you'll do without even trying. But when it comes to larger themes like life, work, and stress, it's not always your fault. Humans weren't built for the huge amounts of stress and workload of modern life. Just because you feel like you're breaking down doesn't mean it's you - it's probably your car. Because as skilled of a driver as you might be, racing won't be enjoyable if you're not driving a car you love.

My favorite lore is that the reason the Deora II showed up at Vert's house was probably for Vert's father, who went on a mission probably following up on Dr Tesla.

Now that you point this out, I'm absolutely certain it was meant for Mr Wheeler and not Vert. A primary reason being Very *literally* got his driver's license that same day. Why would Tesla choose a complete newbie, let alone have the car arrive the same day he got his license? No, it makes way more sense for the car to be meant for Vert's dad

I think part of what makes this so good is that this being four one hour long episodes, everything had ample time to develop. And every character remains consistent to their character or their arc. I need to rewatch this series. Also I didn’t even realize that the silencer that helped Vert during the drone invasion was his dad! That’s so insane and it shows how much attention to detail the writing has for setting things up and paying things off and making it more interesting on the second viewing, holy crap. This writing has no business being this good.

My theory is Karma is like a sleeper agent kind of character. A backup body for Gelorum should she be destroyed. That's why she looks so much like gelorum to Kurt. Kurt used to work with and no doubt observed Gelorum well enough for that kind of remark. That's why she wants to be perfect like the drones and takes such a fascination with them.

Having ended up working in the film industry as a Cinematographer, it warms my heart to think that Acceleracers holds a special place in my heart as being a movie series that made me love films as much as I do now. I will forever watch, rewatch and show these films to other people in my life. I’d like to think that one day I might have some effect on the return of it all. Although others might say that the Acceleracers ship has sailed, I believe Hotwheels/Mattel have got this as something in the back of their pocket for if they find themselves in a pickle. Especially since their reasoning for cancelling it was due to worry of over-popularity over the Hotwheels franchise itself. In a similar way to how the Lego movie brought back sales for Lego, or with the Call of Duty series and Modern Warfare 2 Remastered - we know it exists, but they’ll only bring it out again when things turn pear shaped again like Infinite Warfare. There’s no other form of entertainment I’ve experienced in my life with a cliffhanger that’s gripped me like this, with no other closure.

I always think about that line Taro says to Monkey during a race, "Draft with me Monkey". I always found it funny and think about it when playing racing games or driving

Cartoons of the 2000's were awesome. To bad there are no more action cartoons with ongoing stories and character development.

I'd call it the 'perfect' series if they actually gave us a fifth movie instead of ending it on a cliffhanger like that. And the fact they ignored canon from The World Race that stated Gelorum couldn't take the Wheel of Power due to her not being a human, hence why she recruited Kurt to get it for her. In the first Acceleracers movie, GIG just straight-up says that "Gelorum and her Drones have taken the Wheel of Power" The art style change was also kinda wack, characters be straight-up looking like some uncanny valley shit. Preferred the cel-shaded look of World Race if I'm honest. Still though, these four movies were my goddamned childhood. Some of the greatest car and livery designs in these movies and the damned Realm design just never missed. Neon Pipeline Realm forever baby. And the music was really good too, and I'm really cheesed-off that we never got a physical release of the music or anything. The rips just aren't the same. Cosmic Realm theme 'til I die.

So honestly who knows. Maybe somehow there was development and the drones figured out a way to take the wheel in the 2 years of the end of world race and ignition? I couldn't say.

I love that Kadeem had already come full circle as a character in the initial Highway 35 movie. He already had his development and returned in Acceleracers as someone simply seeking the greater good and because of that his fate was to be a sacrifice so everyone else could also mature as people and come to terms with the very real stakes present if they all lost this race.

Theories: Shirako probably listens to so much music, as a means to keep calm during his races, this can be seen affective when he was racing in the Cliffside Realm and he mentions that he had a problem. He couldn’t download new music during the race and relied on older songs to keep him focused. His arc was when his subwoofers were ripped off in the cosmic realm, and has to rely on keeping himself calm, as well as his driving skill alone, rather than distract himself with music and stay behind from everyone else. Karma I would think is a little more straight forward. Being the only female driver in both the Teku and in the Acceleracers franchise, she probably feels the need to constantly prove herself to the other drivers that happen to be male. Evidence of this was in the Storm Realm, when her and Kurt were going down that long downwards portion after the loop. Kurt wanted to notify her that in order to keep on the track, she had to pick up speed and rely on the aerodynamics of the car. She just simply says in a calm tone “Yea, I got it”. This is to show her knowledge of racing, as well as proving to the other drivers that she can have just as cool of a head as the next person. Her arc was probably when she was about to be killed by the drones and was then saved by Kurt (I think). She realized that no one is perfect, and that it’s ok to screw up sometimes, since the team will think no less of her and will always have her back. Monkey probably fits the guardian of the team, he keeps Kurt and Wylde from killing each other as well as making sure Porkchop doesn’t go off the rails with some crazy stunt in the realms. He basically keeps the team together. An example would be in the storm realm when he stops Wyldes car with the E-Brake and forces Wylde to save Taro, it shows that he cares for the team and wants nothing bad to happen/get between anyone. There’s no particular arc with him story wise, but given the evidence provided, I’d say his entire arc would probably be becoming braver in the realms, since in the first movie, he couldn’t even drive fast enough to keep with the other drivers, to literally jumping off of a moving sweeper while being shot at to live. I know it was a lot to read and I hope it made sense, but I appreciate those who did for doing so, and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

About a year ago I remembered this series and have fallen in love again 😌 it all started when I was about 9, when my mom bought me Speed of Silence from a Walmart bargain bin XD after watching it 1000 times on my dvd player, I found out there were three more movies. After being in shock for awhile, I eventually spent the whole afternoon watching the other 3, and loving them so much! When I rediscovered this series, I decided I was going to finish my collection of cars. Lots of ebay shopping later…I finally collected them all!

They are still super special to me though, as I started collecting them when I was younger, and finally got to finish it off. Just thought I’d share my Acceleracers experience thus far, sorry for ranting 😆

We used to rent World Race from the video store all the time, back when those were a thing. When the video store closed, we bought World Race and one of the Acceleracers movies, and I watched both frequently. I rewatched the series recently for nostalgia and was blown away by how much better it was than I remembered, delighted that there were more movies in the series I hadn’t seen before, and frustrated that the series never got a proper conclusion. It really is an amazingly underrated series.

Holy crap our introduction to these movies are almost the exact same. My mum bought the speed of silence when a video rental store was closing. I was around 4-5 at the time, and I watched that one movie more times than me or my mum could count. I absolutely loved it. When I was 12 I was looking through my movies and saw the speed of silence and totally forgot about it. Realized there were 3 more movies, watched all of them. And now to this day I still love these movies so much. And I've showed my friends them. And they have grown to love the series as well. I will never forget these movies ever.

God, seeing this just absolutely made my day. Acceleracers gives me a kind of nostalgia that's different from even other stuff from my childhood - I remember revisiting the entire series about 4 years ago and being delighted to learn that not only was it still as good as I remembered, it was even _better_ (well, maybe not World Race, but oh well). I loved it as a kid for the racing, imaginative worlds, and cool cars, and as an adult I may still appreciate those, but I love it most of all for its writing and characters; there was so much thought and effort put into each of them. In some ways, I can't even believe that this series exists - a made-for-TV movie series all but forgotten by Mattel with writing and imagination that deserves far more than what it got.

The fact that they cancelled it because they was afraid of it becoming more popular than the hotwheels themselves is insane

I just felt a whole gallery of memories unlock when you said the title.

If I become a billionare I would 100% revive this series.

This movie series is great and a classic. I do recommend watching the shorts so you can understand some things like Taro in the ice realm and the wheel upgrade in the lava realm.

I'm SO glad that more people are starting to notice! These movies were fundamental in my childhood and influenced my car philosophy as a car enthusiast even now. It takes a different kind of driver to race in the racing realms over any kind of motorsport and these movies really show it. I'm still so salty they didn't continue the series! If Hot Wheels decide to bring it back I would but literally ALL the merch

Just a whole nostalgic trip. My mom bought the movies for me when I was a kid and I would always re watch them over and over for YEARS. I'm now 21 and bought all the volumes to re watch. One of if not the best times from childhood

and it still holds up!

Putting character arcs aside, people are forgetting the greatest part of the whole series. Cliffhanger to see vert race against the accelerons which explains the ending with the silencers trying to obtain all the parts of the wheel of power (I think) and assemble together to form a complete piece in order to enter back into the realm of the accelerons. Hence the wisdom is a circle quote "when you receive, you must give it back." I also suspected that the silencers were formed by the govt in seeking to exploit the accelercharges as weapons, hence the father of vert was wearing his uniform in Breaking Point. There are still alot of hidden clues as supposedly to be the story build-up to the next instalment of the series. Sadly, we'll never know what it is. Also coming back to the character arc, you forgot to mention another crucial point that Vert had to do. He had a choice to make in the same situation when he won the world race, to race against the accelerons, or save his friends. This took me about 18 years to finally see all these before this review. So i'm sort of glad that I managed to figure all that out.

I loved this series and Highway 35 when I was a kid. Highway 35 stuck in my head a lot more, I think mainly because the art style shift and how they redesigned certain characters from the original series so much that it wigged me out. But I def remember Acceleracers blowing me away when it came to story. Certain things reeeeeally stuck with me, like the darker tone. Banshee’s car sunken in the swamp realm implying his death, and Kadeem’s horrific transformation into a cyborg have both haunted me to this day. But in a very good way

dude... you just unlocked so many memories I'd forgotten. I loved these movies as a kid and when i saw the thumbnail i was like "wait why do I recognize this" then after a quick google search i was taken back to my childhood. These movies made me want to be a race car driver as a kid. Ironic considering I actually hate driving now 🗿

I'm glad the love for this series is still so strong. It was insanely good for a glorified toy commercial and we might never see this level of passion simply for a line of limited edition toys.

You're right. They gave us battle force 5 after this.

Great video, forgot about all monkey's helping and character development when he gets into the sweeper in the plan to save wylde, and about the fact that not just because kadiim wasn't a teku or metal maniac he was the perfect chosen, the fact that he is one guy trying to help his people with water puts more pressure into the sadness of him "dying" and later becoming a drone.

For me, a good movie/show was one that we always watched in the car DVD player. This was one of those we kept in the car so we could always watch it. Legitimately some of my favorite memories with my little brother.

As a massive fan of the Hot Wheels movies it really irks me that they never got to finish the final film of the series and left it on a cliffhanger but I'm glad that I'm not the only one who enjoyed these films for what they were

I watched the entire series when I was like 8 until the CDs are all scratched up and even unwatchable. Thought I was the only one, until I found video essays on how people like this series. Then I feel like I was the only one in my country, up until another 8 years later when one of my friends showed his hot wheels collection and put Reverb on a higher pedestal than the rest lol. The series is just sooo gooood!

Dude this show has never left my mind it was truly a diamond in the ruff. Thx for making this video

18 years old and this movie series was not only gas but the SOUNDTRACK LET ME NOT SPEAK ON HOW GOOD IT WAS

THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOVIE/SERIES I've ever watched and will ever watch, prolly watched the whole AcceleRacers show like 6 times from when i was a kid till now im ALMOST 17 and I still love this show. Such a shame we never got AcceleRacers 5 😢😢😢😢 Lastly Im so happy this channel's talking about the show i felt like I was the only one who's watched it 😆

Everyone’s childhood right here, everyone has watched it and no one remembers it

Sharako did actually have an ark in this series for why he listens to music. In the cliffside realm he played the musuc so loud that he almost got himself killed. Once Kert saved him, he still didn't stop playing music. Some times that is just how people are, doesn't matter if something is dangerous or not you just gota do you. Also Sharako's counter is the drone commander that keeps taking things seriously and yelling after losing races.

This was an amazing analysis. I could not have put it better than this. One of the most underrated movie series ever!

Acceleracers isn't just my childhood, it's my adulthood too. I can always go back and rewatch Acceleracers as an adult and enjoy it as a work of art. I personally think the Acceleracers 5 Ship has sailed long ago. Its too late. From an artistic standpoint anyways, because we've waited 16+ years and any product we get will not live up to our expectations. Instead, Acceleracers needs a reboot, a full fledged, more mature, adult oriented reboot. Something new, yet familiar. Thank you Chinny for making this video, Acceleracers is something I hold very very close to my heart, you've just earned yourself a new subscriber! :)

The scene where pork chop didn’t break in time before de water is probably de only time that the car didn’t break instantaneously

Mattel: "look, this is a thing to sell toys, no need to go so hard on the plot" The writers:

I was rewatching this series about a year ago, those newer 4k upscales that have made their way onto KZread. My older brother stood the living room and "didn't watch" for a little while, and later than night had the same boyish fascination I had 15 years earlier. I've always had such passion for this series, but never knew anyone else who knew about these movies. It was so awesome to be able to share them with my brother and share in our love of this series.

I still feel bad that we loss the 4th CD... This is my childhood..

God, I used to watch these back to back to back weekly, it's great to know that not only other people know it existed, but that other people love it. P.S. I've been using the RD-02 in hotwheels unleashed because of this, also it's the fastest car I. The game.

Yoooo now THIS is the content I want to see! This series was so great when I was a kid! Love to see that there’s so many other people who still feel the same way :)

I recently rewatched these movies and noticed the relationship between monkey and pork chop is similar to the one between me and my dad. On top of that, I noticed in the credits that one of the writer's nicknames was indeed monkey. I think their reltationship comes from real experiences between this writer in his dad and that's why it feels so wholesome and genuine.

I just love how the series looked like an early ps2 game, and in fact, it was the cherry on the top We can all agree this show was awesome

I die inside everytime I remember the story wasn't finished 😢.

The Accelrracers community is thankful for this video. Bless your soul🤧🤌 so nice that we're all grown up now and some of us are content creators finally sharing this content as much as they can!

I thought I was the only one that actually liked the series. Well documented bro!

Back in the 2000's that what a glorified toy commercial looked like. And I loved every second of it. They really don't make good stuff like this anymore.

Lets not forget that everything presented in this video and movie, the humanity, the conflict, the highs and lows, the very mature character building... thats all in a set of movies designed for kids Why cant we have this again? it teaches such fantastic lessons

These films felt like a massive fever dream growing up and I couldn't for the live of me find them again until recently thanks to videos like these

I loved this series, the early 2000's had some real bangers 😭

Honestly, you took the words right out of my mouth. I mean everything about this series just gets hyped. The first time I watched Speed of Silence, I was kind of confused as to who Gelorum was talking to in the containment circle. Once I saw it was Kareem, I had goosebumps going through my whole body and to then see what came next, gave me chills. Even during the opening of Speed of Silence gave me chills as a kid. Also after we see that Wylde got captured, seeing Kadeem in his hybrid human/drone state, I knew this series was going to get even darker. Lastly, we come to Ultimate Race. Everything in that movie it's everything I wanted to see and more. To seeing the Teku and Metal Maniacs working together, to seeing how they saved Wylde and saw the Kadeem they used to know be gone. From the Racing Drones taking over the Acceledrome to seeing the guys come back to "Move Some Metal!". And Finally see how Gelorum took the Accelechargers and become her true form in front of the Acceleron, Vert and one of her used to be Racing Drone soldiers to have her title of Acceleracer fallen away and given to someone who deserves it and her one of her own creators send her into the nothingness of the Sphere World Realm to either be destroyed or something.

Something not a lot of people talk about is how well Monkey was written. Like, genuinely. He was that goofy character that wasn't so annoying you'd hate him (which is rare) and he was actually useful in the series. A LOT of the comic relief characters don't actually contribute much to the plot, and if they do, their personality is just awful. Monkey is the perfect combination of funny and helpful. He was also one of the MOST helpful characters in the series too! Another thing I want to point out; unlike world race, acceleracers made every character be known and have their own spotlight. In World Race they only focused on maybe 8-10 characters out of the 30ish people there. In AcceleRacers, EVERYONE gets their spotlight. The only character that didn't exactly have that (and by "that" I mean like a backstory or/and a lot of dialogue to help you know the character more) is Shirako. But somehow, I believe it made it better. Shirako is supposed to be that chill guy you don't know much about but absolutely love. He's that side character that is given the perfect amount of screentime. Now, would I like to see more of Shirako's character? Of course. But did they have to, to make him likeable and recognized? No. Everyone in the fandom knows who Shirako is. And everyone loves the man. That's when you know you made a good side/background character.

It's funny you know, we see way worse accidents in the series with no serrious harm but his brothers car just freaking explodes on impact ... makes one wonder if he really had a car from Tesla

This series made my childhood and seeing other people talk about it is incredible.I think you did an amazing job with this video.Keep up the good work man!

We have rd-02 dlc

One of the things I always loved about this film character and vehicle design-wise is how each Racing Team is so different from each other. The Tekku vehicles are slick, clean, something you'd probably see in the streets of a neo-Japan. Vibrant Blues and Oranges on a white canvas, their designs make it clear that they are made for RACING and STYLE. The Metal Maniacs' vehicles are big, dirty, rusty and worn. Exhausts coming out of wherever they can and wheels big enough to probably crush a whole person. Faded Reds and blacks addorning their already threatening-looking vehicles. Even when they use a sports-esque car, it looks way more rugged and makeshift, like it was made of whatever Wylde could find to build it. The Racing Drones, angular, sharp, my favorite, the RD-02 looking more like a blade with wheels rather than a normal car. Those things were not made for human beings, they were made especially for machines, and their more "alien" design shows. The Silencerz' hyper advanced morphing cars, looking like something you'd see straight out of a sci fi flick, chrome and purple complimenting each other, looking cleaner than even the slick Tekku. They don't have fancy decals showing off who they are. Their presence says their name alone.

This just unlocked a memory i didn't thought about anymore for like 10 years

Those movies had way too much of an impact on my life and I still think about them every day. Until I get closure, there will forever be an Acceleracers-shaped hole in my heart
