Speed Racer (2008) - 2 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry In the beginning of the film, the race that Speed is in shows his car, the Mach 5, changing race emblems from the "5" on the car to "6" and back again. [The movie begins with Speed in the Mach 6, racing the Grand Prix. As he drives, he recalls events that involve the Mach 4 (the red car), and his development of the Mach 5. The Mach 6 logo remains correct throughout the entire opening Grand Prix sequence as well as the return to the race at the end of the film.]
Entry Speed drives the Mach 6 in the first two races. This is not possible because they don't build it until before the Grand Prix. And for clarification, the film does not begin at the Grand Prix. There are signs everywhere that say it is the Thunderhead Race. [There were 2 Mach 6 cars, the one driven in the first 2 races was crashed and destroyed in the 2nd race (after Speed was offered and turned down the corporate sponsorship).]
