The plot is pretty dumb, and incredibly predictable. I think it starts to come apart around the three quarter mark. But damn if the movie isn't a blast to watch regardless.

Oh, forgot to mention one of my favorite parts of the movie. End spoilers.
After all that effort and nitro and things exploding... the thing that finally gives them that extra edge, that extra inch necessary to win... is JP's gigantic stupid haircut.

So wait, is this really blu-ray only? If so count me in as yet another sad panda! I had the chance to see this in theaters but no one else wanted to go
Yeah it's out on DVD too, people are just talking about Blu-Ray since it's a particularly gorgeous movie that you'd want to see it in HD. The amazon link saying 2007 is a mistake, but it's definitely the right movie.
It's like if Fist of the North Star and Wacky Races had a baby
just picturing muttley laughing at dick dastardly for losing and him punching muttley so hard he explodes and then muttley's skull is still laughing as it falls to the ground and the the gangster car wins the race after shooting the cavemen apart with tommy guns, leaving only hairy clumps of blood in their wake

Let us assume that Fist of the North Star is approximately at .75 on the Absurdity Index (AI) and a perfect 1 on the Manliness Index (MI - Note that nothing is more manly than Fist of the North Star, but a couple things like Berserk and Vinland Saga come close enough to be considered equal). Neither of these indexes go negative, but a few anime actually reach a perfect 0 MI (AI cannot become zero in any work of fiction, and non-fiction is generally agreed to never reach zero as well). Redline is about a .75 AI as well, but scores oh so slightly lower - only a .9 on the manliness index. But it's definitely up there, especially because it also exceeds on the third Old-school Index.
Totally just all pulled that out of my ass but you get the idea.
Gurren Lagann was fun but it did get old after the mid way point, barring a few scenes (I think the second summary movie hits the same notes of the second half with infinitely better pacing and a few major changes that actually fit better with the tone of the series, IMO).
That's what Redline's plot does so well - it blows you away, gives a little fun breather act to chew on while also establishing the setting (but not with so much detail as to make you bored), and then blows you away again. Credits roll. A good comparison someone made was to the original Star Wars. It has that same mystery and originality to it, with no extensive and obsessive set of manuals.

We gotta watch the shit out of it soon man.

best part is when JP goes really fast and his hair stretches like woah
Trailer got me so hooked on seeing it.
Because I'll buy it. But my blu ray player is being commandeered by my mother. So I'd like to watch it thus century.
I to would like confirmation on this. Cause if it is I'm gonna be one sad panda.
It is such a fantastic song
Edit: But then it also says 2007 next to the title so...I'm not that sure...
"Its development took seven years and used 100,000 hand-made drawings"

That whole scene is so over the top and I love it.
how fist of the north star is this movie
I know it cannot be as good as fist of the north star, nothing can
but how close to being as good is it
this is my japanimation barometer
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

huh
same thing happened with me and firefly
Also I just ordered this on bluray.
Dominant colors are light blue and pink/red.
Also no gore or cool shootouts, the action scenes are more like Transformers.
that is not something I want at all
br has made me conflicted
that is not very fist of the northstar at all
I just like making up arbitrary scales.
