Lightning's Madness: A New Hero

Lightning's Madness: A New Hero is the fourth feature length film in the PCP Cinematic Universe. It released on Christmas Eve 2021 as a YouTube premiere. It stars PCP, his brother CRS and friend Francisco (AKA Franco Studios) in multiple roles. Plus, PCP's friend Sara portrays Jessie and Bo.

Background and release:
The plan was originally leaked on the May Monthly Unboxing during a segment where PCP showcased some new Cars toys ready to be released. The project was officially announced on June 28th on PCP's Instagram story. A trailer released on 25th October. A teaser called "The Cuh's Are Back in Town" released on December 15th. The film finally released on December 24th via a YouTube premiere.

Plot (Do NOT read if you haven't seen it):
The film begins 15 years ago with a battle between Jumex Man and Manzanita Sol (aka Zurg) in Midtown. Jumex Man loses, as we cut to the main plot, which centres around Lightning McQueen's obsession to revive his dead girlfriend Sally, who was killed by Rich Mixon in Racing Like a Hero. He plans on combining both Jumex and rival drink Manzanita Sol to revive her, to the displeasement of Cruz and Jumex Man. Cruz takes off the bolt McQueen gave her, signalling the end of their friendship. Manzanita recruits McQueen to his side. Six months later, McQueen breaks into the Cuh household with a syringe (probably of Manzanita) demanding Jumex Man. The residents say they don't know who he's talking about. McQueen then uses the syringe on Firulais (in the ass) without anyone knowing. Woody calls Buzz explaining what happened (including Firulais running away). Jumex Man then declares war on Manzanita, to take place in Midtown. During which, many past characters return to fight. (On Manzanita's side: Chik Hicks, DJ, Screamin' Banshee from Mater and the Ghostlight, Jackson Storm and Boost) (On Jumex Man's side were the TSRC characters, plus Mater, Mack and Francesco). Firulais pulls a betrayal and joins the Manzanita side. Bo Peep shows up and joins Manzanita too. Manzanita is then revealed to be The Rock (in a different form to what was seen in Forky Goes to Jail). Rich Mixon and his pitty show up (back from the dead). Rich is fought off by McQueen and disposed of by the Screamin' Banshee. Mater talks McQueen into becoming good again. McQueen fights The Rock, but is damaged. Cruz then stands up to Manzanita and takes him down with Jumex Man's blaster (with a combination of Jumex and Dinoco Fuel). Firulais also rejoins the good side. Cruz is injured during battle, but is put back together by Mater. Jumex Man's suit is also upgraded. Plus he reveals his true identity to Forky. Christmas then takes place. The film nears its end, as PCP himself narrates a scene of him getting into his IRL car, visiting a park and throwing a miniature Piston Cup (in a 'passing of the torch' kind of way), as the credits roll. There is a post-credits scene, as an unknown voice says Gael's name, before a quick cut to black.

Trivia:

 * So many Marvel refrences.
 * The Rock's new form is a hybrid of Zurg and his WWE Ultimate Edition figure.
 * This is the first PCP film to not primarily feature Cars diecasts.
 * Most of the roles from previous PCP Shorts were reprised. (A few cast members from the original shorts were no longer availible, but they were mentioned in the credits.
 * Gael himself is now canon to his own Cinematic Universe (But that should be obvious by now...)
 * Pretty much ALL reviews of the film from the PCP Fan Base are extremely positive.
