Patreon Request: Hot Wheels AcceleRacers Review from Forgotten Hero on Vimeo.
Originally a Patreon request by TheMovieCriticDude.
A few years ago, I took a look at Hot Wheels: World Race (Highway 35) by the request of this same patron. But, can the series that followed that movie improve on it?
Actually, yeah. By a lot.
Oh, and in case you want to see my review of the original movie, here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11rW26jM2jNh_3FOnfDjAkHWnrBQtXhTx/view
It's too bad it ended the way it did. Instead we got Battle Force 5 and I never cared for it. No, I wasn't comparing it to Acceleracers. I just thought the heroes were terrible people and didn't care about them, the threats were not on the level of the racing drones, and weren't interesting on their own. It's not the worse Hot Wheels series (not when Team Hot Wheels and the somehow less interesting pilot for Robo Wheels exist) but I didn't like it.
ReplyDeleteHeroes On Hot Wheels I thought was pretty good and what little I've seen of the first Hot Wheels cartoon (mistake to make that show when toy-based shows were still against the rules in the 60s)seemed okay. So if I were to rank the Hot Wheels shows:
Acceleracers/Highway 35
Heroes On Hot Wheels
plain old Hot Wheels
Battle Force 5
Team Hot Wheels
Robo Wheels pilot
Well the Silencerz are actually several of other drivers it was confirmed that Banjee was one of them while Alec and Dresden are hinted to be as well.
ReplyDeleteConfirmed by whom?
DeleteFor the 3 missing drivers from World Race, from a defunct AcceleracersPedia many years ago. By Mattel on prototype toys at least for Banjee before the series cancellation as he’s the Silencerz who has a unique helmet design besides Vert’s Dad than the others. Alec & Dresden are mentioned by Lani when she listed the missing drivers before Markie & Kadeem so like Banjee, he was rescued by the Silencerz in the realms they were trapped each. If you want to see more, look up on YouTube titled “AcceleRacers: Meet the Silencerz” by NOLOAF: AcceleRacers that goes deeper into it.
