Or that Speed's forever girlfriend Trixie (Christina Ricci, her ivory face framed by a helmet of black hair that evokes either Louise Brooks or Moe Howard) has been taken in as a permanent boarder. Or that the other members of the clan, both from the original TV series, are the Australian mechanic Sparky (Kick Gurry) and a monkey named Chim Chim. Traditional movie plausibility...
