Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original Japanese title "Mach GoGoGo", is a rather elaborate pun:
- it is the name of the hero Go Mifune (as Speed Racer was known in Japan)
- it contains the car's name "Mach-go", or Mach 5 ("Go" is Japanese for the number five)
- it contains the English word "go", a staple of racing (multilingual puns were becoming vogue back then)
- and "Go-Go-Go" is the Japanese sound effect for the rumbling of tires on a racetrack.
- GoofsIn several episodes, Speed is wearing a helmet in the long shots when he driving the Mach 5,but not in the close-ups.
- Quotes
[English theme song]
Chorus: Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer! He's a demon on wheels! He's a demon, and he's gonna be chasing after someone! / He's gaining on you, so you better look alive! He's busy revvin' up the powerful Mach Five / And when the odds are against him, and there's dangerous work to do / You bet your life Speed Racer's gonna see it through! / Go, Speed Racer! Go, Speed Racer! Go, Speed Racer, Go! / He's off and flying as he guns the car around the track / He's jamming down the pedal like he's never coming back / Adventure's waiting just ahead! Go, Speed Racer! Go, Speed Racer! Go, Speed Racer, Go!
- Crazy creditsEach episode title in the English dub is set against a red-yellow checkerboard background, similar to a racing flag.
