According the the BBFC website, the film runs for 134 mins (2 hours 14 mins)

Speed Racer was financed and produced through Warner Bros. Considering that they release their titles on Blu-Ray, it is almost certain that we will get the film in the aforementioned format.

The song is called 'Go, Speed Racer, Go,' and is performed by Ali Dee & the Deekompressors. As of the time of this posting (5/10/08), the song is available on iTunes in two different forms.

The version in the film is titled 'Go Speed Racer Go (Film version).' This version that plays over the credits has the original 'Mach-A-Go-Go' Japanese opening, as well as sound snippets from the cartoon as it was dubbed in the US.

There is a regular version of 'Go Speed Racer Go' that does start with the English lyrics to the theme song, and then segues into the Ali Dee song.

No, there are no extra scenes after the movie.
