The first 8 minutes of the kinetic visual feast known as Redline have been posted to YouTube not long after its premiere at Austin’s Fantastic Fest last week and can be viewed below courtesy of the French HKmania blog.  The film will also be screened at the Viz Cinema located inside the New People shopping and entertainment center from October 8th-14th. Redline was produced by Madhouse, written by Katsuhito Ishii and directed by Takeshi Koike.

Redline Synopsis:
The toughest and the most destructive underground car race in the universe, REDLINE, has just begun! JP is a reckless driver oblivious to speed limits, and Sonoshee, one of his competitors with whom JP is secretly in love with, is a hot girl determined to do whatever it takes to stand on the winner’s podium. In order to win the finals, they’re up against the craziest drivers with their heavily armed and awesome road-tearing vehicles. While cars crash and burn into flames, the race course becomes a merciless hell and JP whips his ride into a dead heat.
