Ghostface Killah unites a superhero and a superracer

With the upcoming release of The Wachowskis take on Speed Racer, well, I was struck by a sudden and almost instantaneous pop cultural memory from the mid-1990's.

I remembered Ghostface Killah's video for Daytona 500, which is entirely built from clips from the original Speed Racer.

Interesting fact: The song is from Ghostface Killah's 1996 album Ironman, and Tony Starks is one of GK's rapping aliases, which seems to dovetail nicely with everything going on in the movies today.

Well, I thought it was a neat little bit of coincidence.
