File:Speed Racer 2008 - Deleted Yen-Che Scene (Previs)

A previs of a deleted scene featuring the Yen-Che team, which are just part of the background in the final cut of the movie.

This is just a short clip of a really early version of the scene. A more developed version of it is described in the official novelization of the movie:

"...Then Speed checked the rearview mirror and saw the Yen-Che team closing in. The harsh angles of their currency-clad cars were hard to miss. Suddently, one of the tires blew out on the lead Yen-Che car. The explosion forced it into a spin, flinging it right toward the Mach 5. The jagged car came at him like a Japanese throwing star. Speed pressed the A button, activating the jump jacks. His car sprung clear of the Yen-Che car and landed safely back on the road. Meanwhile, Racer X moved in, slamming his car against the spinning Yen-Che car. The force of the impact launched the Yen-Che driver through the guardrail and over the cliff. Speed intercepted another Yen-Che car. He slammed into its side, sending it careening out of control. It smashed through a billboard and out of the race as well. The last attacking car barreled straight for Taejo. Racer X swerved behind it, slamming his front bumper into the enemy's rear bumper. He activated jacks of his own, popping up only the front of his car. The bump caused the Yen-Che to be tossed end-over-end like a pancake. Racer X drove under the flipping car just before it smashed to the ground, upside down. The entire Yen-Che team had been swiftly dealt with."
