Snake Oiler (2008 character)


 * For the character from the original Speed Racer series, see Snake Oiler.

Snake Oiler is an antagonist from the Speed Racer film, portrayed by Christian Oliver. This version of Snake has completely changed in appearance. He is no longer part of the Car Acrobatic Team as it never existed in the film's timeline. However, in homage to the Car Acrobatic Team, Snake is leader of his own racing team, named 'Hydra-Cell'.

He wears large shades and sports a black pompadour. His racing uniform is made entirely of snake skin (complete with a yellow snake on his helmet) and his car is now completely orange. Despite the change in appearance, Snake's car number and attitude are still intact in the film.

Speed Racer: The Videogame
Snake Oiler returns in the tie-in Videogame, racing the Hydrophiidae. His ally is the Pitter Pat and his rival is the Grey Ghost.
