History Headscratchers / SpeedRacer

* How are Sprittle and Chim-Chim still alive? It was believable in the cartoon, but the stunts Speed pulls off in the movie? Seriously, how?

** The "Iodine" car crashed and burn (which is bad for the company image) , so it make the stock price of Iodine Industries drop a lot. While the "Sirrus" car(drive by Burns) win the race (good for company image) , which make Sirrus' stock price go way up , make Pennensula Powercell can't afford to buy enough "Sirrus" stock (aka buyout) to be take total control over Sirrus.(Basically , like how Taejo Togokahn use the winning of Casa Cristo to bump up the price of his family's company , Musha Motors' net worth , forcing Royalton to pay way more than he exact to buyout Musha Motors.) Which Joe Goldman , the CEO of Iodine Industries , jumping and buy tons of his own company's stock at very low price , than annoced "Sirrus" and "Iodine" is going to team up and became one (bigger) company/group , which is good for both company's image , and make the "Iodine" stock price go sky rocketed , at this point , Goldman's pocket also go a lot bigger , because all of those stock that he bought with a small money , is now worth a very big money......and all this was already planned up , long before the race has even started , and both racers for the both company already join the plan , when they met up at the hotel one week before the race , to talk about the pan.

When the aquarium where Cruncher Block has his piranhas gets a hole, why Cruncher's henchman inserted his finger there if [[{{Fingore}} he fully knew that the piranhas were going to bite it?]] I get that his boss was ordering him to do so, but he could have just easily put the palm of his hand on the hole to block the water from leaking while still precluding the piranhas to eat his finger. Moreover, he could have just put his shoe on the aquarium's hole and he would have still blocked the water from leaking!

*** Considering the route - desert, mountain desert, more desert, BIG mountains, and Germany, it could be a reversal of the Paris-Dakar rally, which ''has'' that brutal reputation on both cars and drivers.

*** The only gadget that could catch suspicion are the saws, and Speed only used those once to keep some headhunters from attacking his tires, the rest are made for either protect him, keeping him in the race and letting him drive in more difficult terrain.
