	Review/Film; A Wizard Who's Hexed by Hollywood - New York Times
		Jittlov, for whom this is clearly a labor of love as well as a Herculean effort, attempts every conceivable trick in the special-effects book in order to wow his viewers, and at times the results are literally dizzying.
		''The Wizard of Speed and Time,'' which opens today at Cinema Village, isn't nearly as sophisticated on the levels of acting and attitude as it is on those of sheer technique.
		Jittlov, dressed in wizard's robes, touring the entire planet in the space of only a minute or two.

	Speed Racer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speed Racer is the title character of an English language version of an animated series which combined the Western love of heroes and heroism with the Japanese ethic of exalting the value of group cohesion.
		The prequel comic storylines were also released as the graphic novel Speed Racer: Born to Race (ISBN 1563896494) and a Racer X miniseries featuring the artwork of Chinese manga star Jo Chen.
		Johnny Lightning released a wide range of the Speed Racer miniatures, including replicas of the villains' cars and "mini-dioramas." A limited-edition release of the Mach Four from the Wildstorm comic series remains of the hardest-to-find collectibles to this day.

	The Wizard of Speed and Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wizard of Speed and Time is a 1989 low-budget feature film written, directed, and starring animator Mike Jittlov, as well as a 1979 16mm short film, also by Jittlov.
		Along the way, he gives a pretty girl a swift lift to another city, gives golden stars to other women who want a trip themselves and then slips on a banana and comically crashes into a film stage, which he then brings to life in magical ways.
		Years later, Jittlov was able to incorporate the short, as well as many of his other short films (such as Time Tripper and Animato), into a feature-length 35mm film.

	Mike Jittlov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wizard of Speed and Time, released in 1989, is his best known work.
		Jittlov has been called a wizard since age 12, when he stunned audiences of professional magicians with his original illusions.
		After working as Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Actor, and Key Shlep on the feature version of The Wizard of Speed and Time (as well as nearly 125 other jobs), Mike Jittlov claims to have finally gotten filmmaking out of his system.

		The film Wizard most readily resembles is Pee Wee's Big Adventure (Jittlov rides a bike with lots of neat gimmicks at the beginning and there's a screwy chase scene around a movie studio near the end).
		But that seems to simply be a strange coincidence since Wizard was 4 years in the making and had its roots as a 3 minute short by the same name made years earlier.
		The Wizard Of Speed And Time is a look at the world through the skewed imagination of an FX magician.

	Gapers Block : Detour : A Diary of B-Fest
		Our group spent some time trying to figure out if the opening footage at the lagoon was the same as from the first movie, just with different narration.
		Like Wizard of Speed and Time, this film is a long-running favorite, and it shows in the amazing amount of audience participation that's packed into every scene.
		This is the most audience participation you'll find during the entire festival, with the crowd shouting in response to almost every line spoken, and when there's no dialogue to speak of the audience is busy flinging hundreds upon hundreds of paper plates into the air whenever the flying saucers appear.

		I think by the time his feature came out (the imdb says 1989), his work was already dating poorly, a la Clash of the Titans.
		Unfortunately, The Wizard of Speed and Time isn't available on DVD, and probably won't be anytime soon, due to the fact that Jittlov had the film stolen out from under him, and the legal situation is far beyond his financial means to work out...
		During January it was downloaded at 14 times the normal monthly rate, thanks to your blog and the blogs that picked up from it.

	The Wizard of Speed and Time Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		Mike is elected to act as a magical wizard who brings an entire film studio to life, with marching tripods, dancing cameras and flying filmcans - and who then leaves Hollywood at super-speed, racing around the world to perform a marathon of effects miracles.
		The short film "Speed" was the basis for (or renamed into) another short known as "The Wizard of Speed and Time", shown at science fiction conventions in the mid 70's before the full length version was made.
		There is a rumor that Harvey Bookman's pool (which the Wizard is thrown into and stays in beyond the lung capacity of most mortals) is actually Bill Shatner's pool in the Hills of Beverly, but that is unsubstantiated.

	The Wizard of Speed and Time Production Notes
		Mike Jittlov's world-acclaimed short subject, The Wizard of Speed and Time, returned to the screen as a full-length feature; combining live-action satire with ingenious animation and dazzling pyrotechnics, his comedy/adventure is a heart-felt homage to the real wizards of the movie industry - the often unsung creative artists who actually give films their magic.
		This time, armed with both a Wizard video and a Wizard script, Kaye went to the 1983 Cannes Filmfest and secured a financing deal with Don Rochambeau (a wealthy real estate investor from San Diego), as well as distribution interest with Shapiro Entertainment.
		It was then up to John Massari's creative spirit to produce, write, and orchestrate the score for the Wizard Run, as he conducted a 70-piece orchestra of studio musicians in a whirlwind one-day session.

		Luckily Jittlov retained the rights to his Wizard footage, retitled it and redid its soundtrack, and "The Wizard of Speed and Time" became an immensely popular short at film festivals and screenings around the world.
		Mike was, by that time, using his life savings of $35,000 to finally make his own movie, "The Wizards of Hollywood".
		I asked what the Wizard was supposed to be doing in all the locations, but he said I'd figure it out, we had to leave immediately.

		He then sings an explanatory song as to who he is. The song is very catchy, and you will find yourself humming it from time to time upon repeated viewing.

		I later lucked into a movie called The Wizard of Speed and Time, which is loosely based on the events surrounding the video.
		I don't like the bit once he gets to the studio (the song is ghastly) but I love his cruising along to get there, especially the sound effect of his acceleration....
		But for a moment, think about that scene...ever frame was taken one at a time, including Mike, including his mouth movements to the song.

	Review for The Wizard of Speed and Time
		How a starving actress in Hollywood still manages to be innocently naive is beyond me, but she misses every sexual connotation imaginable, including Mike describing his method of special effects.
		Harvey becomes desperate to stop "The Wizard of Speed and Time" from being completed; so much that he pays a pair of inept thugs to kidnap the man. They up the ante after stealing a police car, but didn't count on it being a K-9 unit.
		This is actually the latter part of the short where the Wizard demonstrates his mastery of time (also contained in the feature reviewed here).

		Jittlov's use of subliminals and multi-layered EFX are unique to his humorous and up-beat style of film-making, using the medium of film in ways that no other film maker or director has ever achieved.
		It is time to reward an FX pioneer, one horrifically and consistently overlooked by his peers.
		His magnum opus, "The Wizard of Speed and Time", has baffled expert cinematographers, trying to figure out how me managed to create such incredible special effects WITHOUT the use of computers and sophisticated equpiment!
