One of the first "Japanimation" series to air in the U.S., Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go) debuted in syndication in September 1967. Eighteen-year-old Speed Racer wants to become a race car driver, but his father, automotive engineer "Pops" Racer, "blows a gasket" at the idea. Pops, who designed the amazing Mach 5, relents when Speed demonstrates his extraordinary driving skills. He embarks on a series of fantastic adventures that pit him and his friends against Skull Duggery, Snake Oiler, Mr. Wiley, and the Alpha Gang. With their wide chins, large mouths, and small eyes, the Speed Racer characters reflect the influence of contemporary Hanna-Barbara series, rather than the indigenous style the Japanese animation industry would later develop. Members of Gen-X who grew up watching the original show will enjoy this "collector's edition" that offers the first 11 episodes, a theme song sing-along, a villains' gallery, and an interactive demonstration of controls of the Mach 5. (Unrated: suitable for ages 6 and older: mild cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Cool for a 1st grader.......2007-08-31
I really dug Speed Racer when I was in 1st grade, it had the coolest car, Racer-X was mysterious, and Trixie was hot. Having seen it again years later as an adult, It was fun to watch, but I'm not sure I can sit through more than a couple of episodes. I gave it to my girlfriend's son who is 4 and he appreciates it far more than I do now. I look forward to the live action version by the Wachowski brothers. However, one critique after seeing a still of the movie car, the camber is totally off on the wheels for the Mach 5 to make it effective in the corners. I'm just saying, not even Michael Schumacher could win a race with that much postive camber.
The Best of the Speed Racer Releases.......2007-05-14
I finally picked up the first of the volumes the other day. This is the best of all of them. I am still enjoying the on screen Mach 5 demonstrations. Way to much fun!
I can remember being a kid and watching this show in the morning before school. It's been so much fun to recapture the energy of this show on dvd.
The other following volumes are only ok. I mean they're good each on their own, but nowhere near as great as this first release of the set. The quality of the show went downhill as can be seen throughout the volumes subsequent releases.
It was my first taste of Japanimation; even at an early age. And it isn't going to be my last all these (30 +) years later.
Memories.......2007-04-09
It's about memories! One of the reasons I enjoyed this DVD so much is because of childhood memories of running home from school to watch Speed Racer and a few other 70s classics. Cartoons have changed tremendously! So, the one thing that will make a difference other than quality (in which I thought the DVD was of good quaility), is your early memories. My children even watch it.
Go Speed .......2007-03-31
It takes you back to the good ol'days. I wish the picture was clearer - a little fuzzy.
Speed Racer - Episodes 1-11.......2007-03-30
This will take you way back to your childhood. My children love Speed Racer.
Amazon.com
In this second set of adventures, Speed and his friends race against a madman's robot-controlled car in "Race for Revenge." Trixie gets jealous when Speed pays too much attention to the pretty title character in "The Girl Daredevil." In "The Desperate Desert Race," the gang is taken prisoner by rebel army leader Ali ben Schemer, a character who may offend Arab-American viewers.
When Mach Go Go Go debuted in syndication in the U.S. as Speed Racer in 1967, the series had been extensively re-edited to excise much of the violence. These edits cause some continuity problems: in "Girl Daredevil," new tires appear on the Mach-5 between two scenes, and a villain steals the car, although it was out of gas minutes earlier. As the exploits of Speed, Trixie, Sparks, Spritle, and Chim Chim remain a touchstone for fans who grew up watching them, members of Gen-Y are unlikely to be troubled by these awkward moments. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, tobacco use, minor ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon
Customer Reviews:
Great Series.......2007-09-11
This DVD is just as good as the first. Really enjoy the series. Will be purchasing the remaining discs soon. Unfortunately, the special edition light up/theme song DVD case did not work. The batteries were probably dead by the time it arrived.
A true classic that is truly fun.......2007-09-10
Speed Racer is just plain fun animation for all ages. The storylines are pretty complex considering it's a kids' cartoon and the animation is just good fun to watch. Whether it's parents who remember watching Speed, Trixie & Co. firsthand or the kids who are just now getting introduced to this series, it's really a lot of fun.
I must not be too smart!!!.......2007-08-04
I dunno! I felt a bit compelled to write this review only in response to some other reviews I'm reading on this series. People praise this show as "good family viewing" with "entertaining characters", but there are a few things about this show that elude me. Although I am aware this is mainly a children's show (though I heavily doubt that a great number of today's children would watch it), I still find myself questioning certain things about it... Things most people hardly pay attention to...
For starters, how can one call the characters featured on this show interesting or entertaining when they are vurtually invulnerable? Like, nothin hurts any of them!!! Not even a fall off a cliff!
Then, what fun is there in watching a show about someone who wins all of the time? Can't Speed Racer occasionally lose? Then there's this Spritle Character who's supposed to be a kid right?--more like a midget that looks like a kid. His parents hardly watch him. He goes off on his own all the time, with that monkey, to follow Speed (his older brother) by hitching rides in car trunks and sometimes airplanes or other vehicles--did I mention virtually invulnerable?--then at the same time, he goes around commiting murder constantly: his prime victims usually being sub-intelligent adults with IQ's lower than even mine!!! I wonder if this is actually so good for kids to watch at all...
Maybe we should be thankful that most of the people who watch this are yesterday's kids, who would know better than to take these things seriously. But anyway, I just wrote this to get it off my chest because I'm too dumb to understand this cartoon's psychology--not that I still don't enjoy it at times--but I fully welcome ANY comments someone may have explaining the derrogatory psychology of this show.
Speed Racer - Episodes 12-23..........2007-06-02
I'm a Speed Racer fan - what can I say? - I rate the disc 5 stars!
Great Series.......2007-03-09
What a great series this was. It brings back allot of happy memories. I used to watch Speed Racer every day when I came home from elementary school in the 70's.
It's interesting to compare cartoons from this period to those of today. People were actually hurt and killed in these old cartoons, though over-all there was less violence. Perhaps it was better to show the consequences of violent actions? Anyway, the stories continue to be entertaining to me even today.
Customer Reviews:
Love it!.......2007-02-24
Obviously Speed Racer is timeless. Our kids love the DVD. We don't leave home without it.
Love Speed Racer.......2007-02-16
I have all 5 DVDs of Speed Racer. What a nice blast from the past. It's also somewhat refreshing to let my child watch it vs. the endless drone of Dora or Diego. He loves it. We watch all of the DVDs depending on his mood and he even wants to be Speed Racer for Halloween. It's a shame that the Speed Racer "comeback" on the internet seems mindless. Speed Racer was almost like James Bond, fighting bad guys back then. You don't see that nowadays in many cartoons. I was 3 when I first was watching these and I still think they are all awesome. Even more fun to watch now that I'm older and understand what is going on now.
It's too bad they aren't bringing it back, old school style. That would be the way to do it.
VOLUME FOUR IS RUNNING ON FUMES !! .......2006-12-17
Speed Racer volume 4 is a complete disappointment.Why did the studio decide to split the final 16 episodes of speed racer into two volumes?.The entire series only had 52 episodes,so why 5 volumes.The studio has resorted to cheap gimmick's from the start to sell their dvd's and that's just wrong.The first season had rubber tire packaging(neat).The second season had a slip cover with music and blinking headlights(cool).The third season was a dvd in a cheap tin can(very cheap).The fourth season contains only 8 episodes and comes with a 1/64 scale diecast mach 5(big deal).I don't know about the rest of you but i stopped playing with dinky cars a long time ago and would have liked the final 16 episodes on one volume.Why didn't the studio just release the entire series in a limited edition boxed set.Maybe some tv shows need gimmick's to sell, Speed Racer certainly doesn't!.
Skimping on storylines.......2006-08-30
If you enjoy Speed Racer, this is an essential part of the series to have as a die-hard regardless. However, most of the episodes are only one part episodes. They wrap up much too quickly. I say get the other volumes if you like the multi-part episode series. The two-part storylines are needed to make a good plot and development. There is only one two-part series on this DVD. And the collector's car isn't anything special to look at. It's just a neat little bonus to have I guess. If you want a better looking model car, Johnny Lightning brand is the ticket if you can fine one.
Dissapointing.......2006-05-23
Only 8 episodes not in order as the Tv broadcasted,the last one compressed and fast paced.Only the die cast collectible makes the set worth.I hope Lions Gate learn the lesson and the last release of the series can be better.I'll be waiting.

Go Speed Racer GO!.......2007-06-10
A favorite show of mine from when I was a little boy. A part of my past I was able to ACTUALLY recapture.
Great Birthday Gift for my little brother (He's 41 yr old).......2007-05-09
My brother and I used to watch Speed Racer as kids together. He now has the full set, all volumes.
Speed Racer Ends With a Bang.......2007-03-27
This is the last entry in a five volume set collecting all 52 episodes of the 1960s Speed Racer. This series has a very self-contained air, with a beginning, a middle and an end. It begins with Speed's first professional race and ends when he becomes world champion. With all the episodes now available to fans on DVD, we can evaluate the series as a whole. And I am forced to the conclusion that while the beginning and the end rock, the middle fairly sucks.
As the series progressed I suspect the creators began to run out of money because episode quality dropped immensely. Most of the truly excellent eps, "The Great Plan", "Challenge of the Masked Racer", "The Race Against the Mammoth Car", "The Most Dangerous Race", "The Fire Race" and "The Fastest Car on Earth" are two-parters (or in the case of "The Most Dangerous Race" the show's only three-parter) clustered in the series' early days; they're all on Volumes 1 and 2 of the set. Toward the middle/end (the stuff on Volumes 3 and 4) we get a bunch of single ep stories with artwork, scripting, and even the amount of animation all noticably inferior to earlier efforts.
Which brings us to Volume 5 (the last eight eps). Episode quality on this DVD varies wildly, containing both Speed's absolute worst adventure and one of his very best. Other eps range from mediocre to good, with, thankfully, rather more of the latter.
I've always had a weak spot for "The Great Car Wrestling Match" (Episode #45). True, its animation is limited, but the artwork is good, and the storyline amazingly strong. If I may be allowed to seemingly digress for a moment: one reason so many fans love "The Race Against the Mammoth Car" I feel is that it's one of the few times in the series Speed uses the Mach 5 offensively against another vehicle. When Speed breaks out the saw blades and starts slicing tires off the Mammoth Car that just flat DOES it for people. For "The Great Car Wrestling Match" they came up with the absolutely deranged idea of having Speed enter the Mach 5 in a demolition derby. This episode gives us what we love most about "Mammoth Car" - the Mach 5 in car-on-car battle - only instead of a few brief moments within a larger storyline, it's the focus of the entire ep. Thus Speed uses every trick he can pull out of that fantastic car to trash about fifty-seven million other vehicles AND one of his opponents has a highly tricked-out car of his own with a built-in arsenal of weaponry specifically designed to kill the Mach 5.
Ah, good stuff.
I despise "Motorcycle Apaches" (#46). To my mind it's the single worst ep. Speed and the gang look really, really stupid wearing cowboy hats. The characterization of the Apaches is more than a little racist. "Ugh!" indeed. Don't all "Indians" talk that way? Then we have Speed's comments, courtesy of Japanese writers, on what a horrible, selfish thing it is that the Apaches have a problem with their land being used, without their permission, for a facility to build better and more powerful nuclear bombs. This struck me, even as a kid, as self-righteous tripe propounded by outsiders who didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
"Car With a Brain" and "Junk Car Grand Prix" (#s 47 & 48) are forgettable examples of the aforementioned inferior writing, artwork and animation.
"The Car in the Sky" (#49) is decent. "The Trick Race" (#50) features the return of the Car Acrobatic Team from "The Most Dangerous Race" and co-stars Racer X, always a good thing. "The Trick Race" relies heavily on footage from earlier episodes, chiefly "The Most Dangerous Race". Even some of the events happening within the storyline use footage cribbed from other eps. Whenever new footage is intercut with old, the wide disparity in quality of animation (often none at all as characters talk without moving their mouths) and artwork is evident. "The Trick Race" is a pristine example of talented creators turning necessity into virtue; because they had very little money to produce the ep, about half of it is stitched together from previously existent footage. Amazingly, with an ingenious script, "The Trick Race" works, and works well. What happens between Racer X and Speed at the end of the ep has to be seen to be believed. It's genuinely moving and was picked by TV Guide as one of the most memorable moments in television history.
Then there's the series finale, the two-part "Race Around the World" (#s 51 & 52). Obviously the creators wanted to end the series on an up note. None of that weinie single episode stuff, Speed Racer needed to end with a two-parter, and it needed to be great! It was, due to an amazingly inventive script combined with some of the series' best artwork and animation. Speed competes in the Around-the-World Grand Prix requiring him to pilot a Formula 1 car, rocket powered raceboat, airboat, biplane, raft, submarine, snow tractor, ice yacht, truck, motorcycle, kayak - and of course he finishes in the Mach 5 - all while nature and two other racing teams pull every dirty trick they can think of to knock him out of the running. In the final ep, Racer X shows up one last time. Really, they should have called this adventure "Everything But the Kitchen Sink". For my money "The Most Dangerous Race" will always be the best Speed Racer, but "Race Around the World" is in a strong 2nd place, a fine and worthy send-off for our hero.
Looking over the entirety of this five-volume collection, here's my advice to Speed Racer fans. If you want to enjoy the series' worthwhile eps, you should buy Volumes 1 and 2. Volumes 3 and 4 are for completists only. However you NEED Volume 5 for "Race Around the World". Speed Racer may have gotten a bit soft around the middle, but it ended rock hard.
Misleading photo and description.......2007-03-07
Amazon's DVD does NOT come with the collectible miniature license plate (even though the photo shows it and the description mentions it). Save yourself the trouble of getting and then having to return it(like I did). I went and bought mine for $2 less than Amazon's price (and with the license plate) at Best Buy.
5 stars for Speed Racer vol 5.

Go Speed Racer!.......2007-03-21
I love going back to my Speed Racer days! It is so much fun showing my own little guys. I am not a critic but, there's no doubt that these collections are great! I have two others and I enjoy them all.
Great Collection.......2007-02-24
A must have for the Speed Racer fan. A new cartoon for kids and a definate blast from the past for grown ups. Speed Racer was wayyyyyyyy ahead of it's time! Great episodes. Definately appreciate the details more as an adult!
Mark Twain meets Ninja Theater in the;The Royal Racer........2006-09-01
This episode mixes the plot of "Prince & the Pauper" with ninja spies and Formula racing! Sprital nearly causes an international incident when he trades places with Prince Jam, a young Asian prince who some how looks exactly like Sprital. The real prince gets spanked by Pops,teased by Trixie and is subjected to all the problems Speed's little brother deals with dailey. Sprital, as the prince, is targeted for assassination by a would be usurper to the throne. He gets to fight ninjas along side his brother and actually gets a chance to participate in a real,genuine car race, and a Formula One race at that. As one might expect, any episode that focuses on Sprital rates high on the laugh-meter. This is one of the funniest Speed installments ever. It's also got plenty of action and interesting animated backgrounds. Essential viewing for any Speed-o-phile.
go speed go!!!!!.......2006-05-03
as a man who grew up on speed racer i'm glad to see taht the third instalment of the shows is out,but i take one star away for the package which makes it hard to store. other wise this is one fine set and my kids are loving speed as much as i did.
Speed RULES!!! --- but WHERE ARE THE JAPANESE EXTRAS?!.......2005-09-15
Speed Racer was my favorite cartoon growing up. I would pass up an after school KickBall game to watch Speed and the Coolest Car on Earth. I always laughed myself onto the floor watching Spritle's tears spraying out like a fountain. These cartoons were crude ... but they had a unique character and spirit that made refined art, sound, and production irrelevant. In fact the mismatched mouth movements (seemingly due to more than translation) and coarse animation only added to it's unique charm. I've waited a long time for a collection like this.
HOWEVER, I agree with other reviewers in that Lion's Gate should include the ORIGINAL JAPANESE theme song, and it would be GREAT to have a whole episode in Japanese as it aired in Japan. That would make this a much better collection.
Also, they should put forth some effort to improve the video quality. I have a VHS tape that provides better image quality. It's as if they are not using original masters.

Amazon.com
Despite the title, this disc is not a feature, but three episodes of the Japanese animated series that debuted in the U.S. in syndication in 1967. In "The Car Hater" (episode 26) a whip-wielding tycoon whose son was killed in an accident damns all autos as "rolling weapons"--until Speed teaches him the error of his ways. In the two-part "The Race Against the Mammoth Car" (episodes 7 and 8), Speed enters the No Limit World Race and finds himself competing with a vehicle "200 yards long." In addition to winning the race, he helps Officer Detective recapture the stolen gold hidden in the monster vehicle. The animation is extremely limited, the storytelling is rudimentary, and the dialogue sounds like it was taken from a 19th-century dime novel. But Speed Racer is a rare example of pre-anime Japanese animation. Speed and Trixie recall the characters from a Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning show, with rounder heads, broader chins, wider mouths, and smaller eyes than recent heroes and heroines. (Speed looks like a blue-eyed Tony Curtis.) Speed Racer retains a following among Gen Xers who grew up watching the show; for anime fans, it's little more than a curiosity. Containing cartoon violence, including numerous car crashes, this unrated video is appropriate only for children 6 and older. --Charles Solomon
Description
Speed Racer, space hero Colonel Bleep and all their friends join up for this exciting animated feature. First, Speed Racer, his girlfriend Trixie and all the gang are in a desperate race to save hundreds of lives from the evil clutches of the "The Car Hater". But wait, there's more as Colonel Bleep and his pals Scratch and Squeak are off through outer space after "The Treacherous Pirate." Then Speed Racer returns at breakneck speed to battle evil, on and off the track, with "The Race Against the Mammoth Car." All this fun and excitement is interspersed with the three wonderfully creative classic animated "words from our sponsor" from the 1960's. So grab your popcorn, fasten your seat belt and get ready to blast off for the best in animated action!

High on speed X ain't no YYZed-carziepoo.......2006-10-04
The reason I give it 5 stars is because it is SUPPOSED to be "campy" also I always liked that big-and-beautiful violet/majenta train-car in a race track, very bazaar like japanese are. Where is the Line "this "train ain't goin nowheres, ain't gotta a motor?" must be another episode. The GRX enchanting hyper-speed in the rain episode isn't here but it's the awsome of awsome in the racecar scene. If Canada is "gothic" Japan is sci-fi ultra-future steel sky sleek.(Ventruism). Wondering why animae is always drawn with broad chins and pointed faces as they don't have either. 1970's animea is drawn better than today. Think goodness this was before the "BIG CUTE EYES" and pokemon dialogue in the goofy today ones. "If I wasn't over 13 I wouldn't be revieing this so why ask..." -check mark applied-/;
Kids?!?.......2006-05-02
contrary to what another reviewer wrote, THIS IS NOT A KID'S VIDEO. Anime was and is not made for kids! PERIOD! Never was!
Just because they are animated, does not make them "kid friendly". Yes, most kids enjoy these, but it's up to us parents to know what they watch BEFORE they watch them, not WIThH them. I'll bet the other reviewer bought "Fritz the Cat" for her children, too. After all, it's a cartoon!
Music Video Was Inappropriate!.......2005-05-06
My 10 year old son just received this dvd in the mail and i was looking at it with him, and knowing how much he and his younger brother like to sing the theme song to speed racer, I said "hey there's a music video - let's watch it" After a few seconds, I sent my children out of the room while I continued to see what other vulgar scenes were in this thing. The girls in the bathing suits and feeling themselves up in front of my children was very very inappropriate!! This is a child's video for god's sake, can't people leave sex out of anything!!! I plan to write the company that is listed on the back of the video and voice my opinion as well.
Don't mess with Speed!.......2002-09-19
I ran a search at Amazon.com to find any DVD's of Speed Racer. There was a single hit, Speed Racer The Movie. So, I bought it. I was really in the mood to be taken back to my youth and have a great time watching a Speed Racer "movie." I knew that I had not actually purchased a "movie," but a collection of episodes...I would have picked a different set by the way....You get the "Car Hater," and "The Mammoth Car" (parts 1 and 2). Of the two, the Mammoth Car is the most fun. I particularly like the omnious sounds of the Mammoth Car. The supplemental material comes from one of the first (if not the first) episodes where Speed describes the capabilities of the Mach 5. This is fun, but I would like to see better selections of episodes. Hey, why not put them all on DVD in their proper order like Harmony Gold did for ROBOTECH?
Suitable for all ages?.......2002-06-19
O.K., so I ignored my wife's repeated warning about letting my 3-year old son watch this without checking it out once through. Speed Racer? It was my favorite, he'll love it! Well he did, but I'm glad I caught the Music Video that some [one] decided to produce...and [someone else] that decided to place it on a video "suitable for all ages". I am glad I noticed it before he had a chance to absorb the gangsta-rap ... that was going on. What a joke, and big dissapointment to an otherwise great video.

Description
Get ready for the third uncut action-packed volume of Gatchaman!! Originally re-cut and released in the 70's and 80's as "G-Force" and "Battle of the Planets," Gatchaman is an anime Legend!! Now for the first time ever see it totally uncut! In this volume Science Ninja Team Gatchaman goes head to head with Galactor and travels all over the world in six more unforgettable episodes. First, The Science Ninja Team heads to an ancient desert town in Africa to discover the secret and amazing power of "The Mysterious Red Sand!" Then, in episode fourteen, Gatchaman is off to the North Pole to discover why nuclear powered vessels are disappearing and to battle "The Fearsome Ice-Kander!"
In "The Fearsome Jellyfish Lens," our heroes search a deadly polluted ghost town only to find Galactor and its latest hideous creation! Next Gatchaman is up against an ever illusive and extremely dangerous chameleon-like monster piloted by Berg Katse himself in "The Indestructable Machine Mechanika!" And then, just when they thought it was safe to let the children play outside, sinister Stag Beetles are unleashed to kidnap them and steal their brains! In Volume two's grand finale, a giant whale is attacking harbors and Gatchaman must go to the Arctic Circle to thwart Galactors evil plans in "Revenge! The Whale Operation." See what all the talk is about and don't miss a single astonishing episode!!
