![]() ![]() While the Redline Races are already illegal by nature, all of them still take pride in being good racers. Machinehead being angry at JP could also be due to the op-ed they ran on his life just before the race JP is well known by the public as having dealings with the mafia and convicted at least once of Race Fixing.Machinehead immediately says "You are here!" which JP assumes was referring to him, but Machinehead was actually talking to Sonoshee and proceeds to ask if she is going to dare to use the steamlight, something that catches JP completely by surprise. Also, after a rewatch I noticed when the Transam is side to side with the Godwing, Sonoshee gives Machinehead a very shy side glance and a smile. That could also explain why Machinehead was so hostile to JP in the final leg of the race, he couldn't outright say it but he was angry at seeing his dear daughter in the arms of an unworthy loser (an attitude that was changed once JP managed to win the Redline)."Cherryboy Hunter" seems to be a nickname given to her by the press that apparently caught on, much to Sonoshee's disliking.Machinehead's name probably originated the same way (him having cybernetics in his head) except he chose to embrace it instead. Sonoshee is likely using her actual name, since her "racing name" is apparently "Cherryboy Hunter". It's likely that it, along with Machinehead's "Name" is actually just his stage name. ![]() Tetsujin, if I remember, translates to "ironman" or something.An easy explanation would be that Sonoshee either changed her name or is using an alias, to make it completely on her own and avoid riding on her dad's fame.Sonoshee's last name being McLaren and Machinehead's being Tetsujin. Though this does bring up the question of why they have two different last names if they're father and daughter.Another moment that adds to the theory, is that when Sonoshee's car gets totalled by artillerty fire, both JP and Machinehead react with great worry. She also mentions that her dad was a racer, and that he gifted her the steamlight, which would explain why Machinehead knew that Sonoshee had one later in the movie. During the Oasis Club scene Sonoshee does mention that she was expecting company, and when Machinehead makes his entrance she visibly waves her hand at him. Machinehead and Sonoshee are father and daughter.It's subtle, but it's there. As for the how they were floating like that, remember that they are in the ship of a magical space princess who doesn't seem to care much about the laws of physics. Plus, the reactions of the viewers, the other racers, and JP's friends, would be VERY odd if they had just seem them being splattered all over the place. JP had already been seen surviving three major crashes with almost no harm done to himself.They still won REDLINE has no rules beyond staying on the track, so death is no disqualification. Sonoshee and JP died in the explosion and it's their spirits that finish the race before drifting into the afterlife. JP also has a vision right before they explode.they don't speak to anyone (besides each other) before the movie concludes.They're shimmering and floating in midair. ![]() This wouldn't be unusual given the show's loose constraints on reality - except: Sweet JP and Sonoshee are dead.At the end of the race when the car blows up, JP and Sonoshee are catapulted from the Trans-Am in the explosion. ![]()
