Speed Racer theme

[linuslillen01]

JEEZAS!

do security not excist in this sport? that was the biggest car explosion in cartoon history!

[MerleOberon]

What happened to Trans-Lux?

[sonic695]

if your a Race Fan or not, a Speed Racer fan or not, a Anime fan or not, one thing is for sure, the first part of this intro will ALWAYS be in your head just the sound of the engine revving up got your blood pumping

[Gamersquid1]

@sonic695 Whoooooh! That was just too deep dude. KEEP IT COMING.

(SHADAAAPPP!) The song bites!

[twistedyogert]

Best of the 80s.

[twistedyogert]

0:07 I drilled holes in the tail pipe of my 110cc Go-kart and it sounds just like that. Even fire comes out when I accidentally shift down from 3rd (15-29 mph) to second (5-15 mph) too early and the engine's ignition timing can't keep up.

[havoc697]

Why did he just kill a man? That was hardly called for!

[twistedyogert]

@havoc697 I think the guy hit the ejection button.

[WackyJack322]

did car 1 have an atom bomb in it?

[Red2Lucario]

With all that smoke you can make some qualtity chestnuts.

[MrCazy1995]

speed racer killed a man that day.. and not a single fuck was given.

[Saviour86]

Dude, this was an 80ths cartoon? he fkkn pushed another car out of the rails and it EXPLODED in the freaking INTRO movie, I know this is nothing nowdays, but back then I bet it was kind of a big deal

[RegularGamesPlayer]

lol

[bodacious335]

i wanna a Mach 6 Race-Car BAAD!

[TheFggdgs]

and not a single fuck was given that day

[soldierinthesand]

Yeah Speed Racer, GO! Go and kill hundreds of more people!!!

[parkman35]

Racer X....

[ugotpimp]

mya ll time favorite theme song....munsters is #2

[alokraja1]

why doesn't cartoon network broadcast these shows again??? WHY

[nitroboyn2o]

I want a mach 5

[doom6928]

yea man rock on



[zigspeed]

Essa viradinha dele no final da música foi legal.

[EZboyrocks]

GO SPEED RACER GO!!!!

[DeadIslandTrailers]

1:00 inspired the matrix bullet time....supposedly

[imdiyu]

It used to be my fav animated series... :)

[alchemist889]

Speed Racer has as serious amphetamine problem.

[e104epsilonMK2]

One question to people who watched this cartoon, was Tatsunoko envolved in the development of this series?! I've never watched the entire thing since I was still a kid.

[kingdomheartsepic]

this is what i can get out of this if i kill a guy during a race but im in the mach 5 then i won't get in trouble

[IAMBORED71]

this was around the time when people didn't give a damn about cartoon violence and everything on the tv was awesome.whoever said that this was bad for kids obviously could not predict the future and see how horrible cartoons have become.

[XD00155]

0:43 DAMN!

[ArnyBoy]

Speed Racer you're such a likeable murderous bastard :)

[sledback1]

Give it a rest people...God that was bush league racing at it's best...

[horacio1464]

WTF



[TheRajunCajun92]

00:43 Speed's a murderer.

[Link57942]

@TheRajunCajun92 And that's why drugs are bad.

[JHawkzZ]

Teaching children about death in an exploding vehicle. Nice! 

[autobotjazz1972]

26 people got ran off the road by speed racer.

[TheZaNGMAchine]

R.I.P guy in red car.... R.I.P

[MallowFilms]

i thought he was a good guy! well apparently not cauz he murdered that guy!

[JavinDerran]

The guy that Speed killed was well aware of the risk that came with him. No one gave a fuck because he signed the waiver.

[doodskie999]

he killed that guy.. maybe he really is a demon on wheels

[ChomskyDisciple]

Filthy murderer! That man had a wife and three kids!

[SomeGuy470]

@ChomskyDisciple He's a demon hahaha

[KTH568]

If my dad saw this, he would nostalgia all over the monitor.

[orivalas]

Damn, GOOD DAYS! :D

[SomeComAddict]

Speed racer killed that guy? Everyone knows asians can't drive ^.^

[tjw0099]

I love the burgundy socks with the pennie loafers..

[Linkmaster500]

Speed Racer don't give a fuck if shit dies and explodes, his face at 0:46 pretty much says it all.

[zombiemonster]

that's my childhood right there... i watched this back in 1995 when I was four years old and I sang the theme song everyday in school and drove my teachers crazy...

[YoshiGM]

Go speed Racer.. Go Speed Racer. Goooooo !!!

[childeric57]

All you people who are upset about Speed murdering another driver should pay closer attention to the lyrics of his theme song: "He's a DEMON and he's gonna be chasin' after someone!!!"

[lalaland532]

THIS IS WHEN IT WAS OK TO KILL ANOTHER DRIVER...

[nzigen31]

Cold blooded killa

[TJTheGr8t]

So as kids, did we ALL ignore the fact that Speed pretty much killed that guy?!

[artrocker65]

@TJTheGr8t YEAAAAAAAAAAH!

[HaruhiFanNumber1]

is this counted as a anime?

[mortokombo12]

@HaruhiFanNumber1 yes, yes it is



[oofykapoof]

A wonderful blast from my past.! Used to watch speed and sing that song everyday after school! Go Speed Racer Go!

By the way, FYI:  Speed was served a 20 year to life sentence for killing that poor guy but got off after 10 years for good behaviour! He now lives in Southern California and works part time at the local Walmart.

[furvs15]

was there dynamite in that car?

[BigshotHeavyhitter]

I found the WMDs! They were hidden in that car that busted though the guard rail and set off a nuclear explosion.

[SuperFroggy66]

I would rush home after school so I could watch it I had a speed racer lunch box

[DarKKnightt07]

love this show since i was little kid, watched it all the time, go speed racer go!!!

[Shinatsu]

Adventures waiting just AHEADDD!!!

[MeronRamune]

My Dad watched this as a kid back in the 70's and I watched the re-runs back in the 90's.

I think when we saw the movie in theaters a couple years ago, we shared something.

[saderguy]

i'm pretty sure cartoons can't kill people lol jk

[kulditbeme]

@saderguy So, taking up for Speed Racer huh?? are you really Racer X ?!

[kulditbeme]

Speed Racer could use that move to stop Jimmy Johnson's title streak, as well as his life.

[niyyuu]

I'm pretty sure every race (and almost every episode) had at least one car spin out and blow up in a huge explosion.

[torchiest]

Not only did he kill the guy, but apparently the guy's car was loaded with dynamite... what an explosion!

[981407036x]

@torchiest dynamites make my car go fasturr!

[SubconsciousGatherer]

Speed kills.

[BboyIrock]

This is a totally back to the future for me :) Reminds me exploding myself jumping around TV when this track played. The clear and pure childhood.. :D

[beautifulsarah100]

Of the MANY cool things about this clip, my fave is when the car goes over the railing and the explosion looks like somebody set off a fucking nuclear warhead.

[Crazymike00]

:44 that dude totally dies. lol

[runeboyz7]

this is the best theme ever made HA HA

[chasmorox]

Ahh, back to the 80's (at least for me)

[racerlex]

well the song says he is a demon!

[von1trice]

Dude was I the only one when I was little that thought that they talked about a million miles per hour. No one and I mean no one talked at a normal speed Lol.

[anime4354]

Did you guys notice the cars were changing colors from 0:45 ro 0:50.

[rozar142]

@anime4354 Wtf?!

[RenoReturns]

@anime4354 Oh shit! I just noticed that!

[therealraybaby]

Adventures waiting just ahead.

[tubulus3]

Why was the car that crashed carrying a nuclear bomb?

[SurferJoe1]

I'm sure Speed did not arrive lightly or easily at the decision to take another man's life in the name of a great title sequence.

[MrPier101]

@SurferJoe1

its okay, he was probably a bad guy. maybe

[Murdocissoawesome]

Go Speed Racist Go Speed Racist Go Speed Racist GO!

[L33TRedNinja]

Why can't things be like before?

[diesweetprince]

I had a crush on Speed not even gonna lie

[trewerd]

I just realized... at the end of the movie, Emile Hirsch did a similar pose to 1:01 . That's fanservice.

[MiyakeMasumi]

@trewerd yeah, me and my fiance totally geeked out when we saw that in the movie!!!

[DarthJackson2]

When I was a little girl, I had this video tape of Speed Racer (not sure which episode, but it was awesome) and I'd watch it over and over... I loved Speed Racer. I named my imaginary friend Speed Racer, I even dressed as Speed Racer for halloween. I love the theme song and the show brings back memories of when I was 5 or younger and the world was just hot pockets and TV. Ahh, good times.

[TheAceKannon]

is it just me, or does the Speed Racer logo resembe the older Street Fighter logo?

[soulsurvivor2001]

After watching this one ...I love the Japanese opening that much more. The English one is kinda lame by comparison. Mach Go! Go! Go! was MUCH cooler.

[martinblank83]

@soulsurvivor2001 youre lame dickface.

[soulsurvivor2001]

@martinblank83 1. Sentences usually start with a capital letter.

2. "YOU'RE" is the contracted form of "You are."

3. "I don't recall asking you a GOD DAMN thing. "

4. I prefer the classic anime to the sad dubbed version.

5. Thank you for taking the time to remove some strange man's penis from your mouth long enough to offer your opinion, but sadly (and please don't take offense) but the results of my last bowel movement have more consequence to me than your opinion miss.

[martinblank83]

@soulsurvivor2001 lol you mad nigger?

what is it supposed to be "your lame?" lol, no. fucking monkey.

[soulsurvivor2001]

@martinblank83 (yawn)

1. The first word of a sentence is STILL capitalized.

2. " ARE you mad n:gg3r? " Learn to use verbs & form sentences correctly.

3. A contraction is when you combine two words using an apostrophe e.g. (you are = you're ) DUH!

4. I'm sure your boyfriend must be getting pissed off as time you spend writing here interrupts the blow jobs he'd NORMALLY be getting. Let me re-iterate, YOUR opinion is of no consequence to me or any other anime fan. Go back to sucking dick.

[VisitStPeters]

How could 26 people hate on speed racer.

[link0192]

@VisitStPeters ikr

[jamdawg]

Is it just me, or does Speed Racer look like Jeff Gordon? ;-)

[pacman17pacman17]

its funny how speed racer totally just knocked that car off the road and blew his ass up. nowadays, the censorship bullshit woulda taken that shit off of a kids tv show

[SurferJoe1]

That little animated camera move on SR and the car at the end was no piece of cake in the '60s. Hats off to the animator and assistants.

[soulsurvivor2001]

@SurferJoe1 Japanese animators were/are ahead of their time surfer Joe. :-)

[feelingEnjoy]

Speed Racer murdered that man.

Not a single fuck was given that day.

[lokik21]

@feelingEnjoy You sir win the internet for that comment. Have a free coupon.

[MadInk1]

@feelingEnjoy

ahahaa. i used to say the same shyt man. tramatizing children

[MrSackboy1968]

@feelingEnjoy FUNNY

[navigator386]

@feelingEnjoy hahahahaha thats awesome

[rikimaruakanomad]

@feelingEnjoy hahahaha wow dude u made me cry with laughter !! loll

[nitsuj008]

@feelingEnjoy If you look closly you can see the driver eject!!!

[GodBlessNess]

@nitsuj008 No, that's a tire.

[nitsuj008]

@GodBlessNess ohhhhh

[LordKinoda]

@feelingEnjoy Alot of those races are illegal, and Speed only gives it out as much as he is given it. I don't recall him actively going after somebody who didn't start some shit with him first. Then again, it's been awhile since I watched the series and I no doubt have not seen them ALL. Self defense I say ;)

[fredthefro92]

New speed racer suck!

[link0192]

@fredthefro92 truuue

[66Robert]

The greatest cartoon of all time! Period!

[link0192]

@66Robert true

[evanstone9]

WTF Speed Racer KILLED that guy!

[carlindelco]

@evanstone9 Ahh yeah that good ole days of reality in cartoons..

[franciscojavierm]

@evanstone9 How the hell I didn't get the whole "Speed Racer KILLED that guy" when I was 8... and I used to watch this like every Saturday!!!

[buffmaloney]

@evanstone9 He drives like Kryle Busch.

[menlar]

@evanstone9 your right but that guy ran into speed, of course, speed didn't have to kill him...

[MrSpikeyZ]

@evanstone9 well he is a demon

[SMILESZ2]

I loved this show when I was a kid. It used to come on cartoon network (when it was still awesome).

[coodoo17]

Every time someone watches this show, that guy dies in an atomic explosion.

[shopaholicgurrl]

lol the sound affects r so bad XD

[addamms]

Here he comes

Here comes Speed Racer

He's a demon on wheels

He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.

[66Robert]

Peter Fernandez, the man behind the Racer. Will be missed dearly.

[bottlebrusher]

I had a big crush on Trixi when i was a kid back in the '70's...Man, I think I still do

[kolchalcarl1]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#­11111!

[frenchfry217]

I've always loved speed racer but now that the speaker died there will be no more speed racer :( :( :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[theloserof08]

R.I.P Peter Fernandez

The original and best speed racer

[deathpickier]

hahah i know huh

V

[johnnyx156]

R.I.P Peter Fernandez

[TheKidsAreAllRed]

@johnnyx156

R.I.P.

[longhairfan]

RIP Peter Fernandez. 

[ViolinSnowKid]

@longhairfan

Man, me and my friend was JUST talking about the voice actor of speed racer the other day. RIP Peter.

[SimuLord]

love how the car blows up at 0:44. Even the cars in Fallout 3 don't explode like that!

[untamedfilms]

The animation was the best ever (sarcasim)

[metallosty96]

@untamedfilms you speak good english (sarcasissmmdmdm)

[Swindle1984]

I guess in the 60's race car drivers loaded their cars with dynamite for some reason.

[512fixer]

HERE I COME...HERE COMES SPEED RACERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[SHSBBy10]

I always thought Speed Racer was kinda hot for a cartoon? I know it makes me weird. What's your point?

[sonicdahedgog1]

the music dont fit whit 0:44 XD

[DaveWollenberg]

Performed by Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass, if you can believe that. God bless!

[kukicksazz]

I love in old cartoons how people can die and be bloody. Everything is sugarcoated now days, it's ruining our society!

[GymFloozie]

This is one of the greatest fucking songs and greatest TV intros I have ever seen.

[soulsurvivor2001]

@GymFloozie I still think the original one is Japanese (which is a minute longer) was better, but judge for yourself it's called "Mach Go! Go! Go!"

[theStonedDuke]

ringtone. Nuf said

awkward as hell at parties tho

[monkeypantzzify]

this song reminds me of old memories :)

[lebron23mvp1]

wow!! i wonder how a simple racing car could blow off and explosion like that in 0:44!!!

[roguegirl29]

They made a spin off (I don't know if that's what it's called) of this series. I think this series should've been left alone because it's amazing by itself.

[lifeguard453]

man.. i rlly miss watching this on tv.. i hate it doesnt come on anymore.. i think the cartoon was alot better than the movie

[gwill9]

i miss the good old days of my youth,when you had real tv shows to watch, now blah,just mess

[michiyoyoshiku]

This is almost Identical to the Japanese theme

[Vaxliscious]

@michiyoyoshiku except there aren't any pink elephants in the video. And not as creepy. D: The Japanese one always gave me nightmares. :/

[quiktymevideo]

Oh, the sheer joy of delectably cheesy 60s cartoons.

[filipeaugusto7]

What a nostalgic moment, love that

[solosith]

When I was watching Ichiro and Chone Figgins during yesterdays game, this popped into my head.

[uchayman]

Haha, I remember this =)

[MasterL9]

Ah yes, Speed Racer. Causing other racers to drive off the track and die in a fiery explosion. Truly a hero for the ages.

[Sledge070685]

Wow...... very corny by today's standards.

[oathkept]

it was like the 60s what do you expect haha

[Sledge070685]

@oathkept

I expected more haha

[oathkept]

and you were sorely disappointed u__u

[Sledge070685]

Yeah well regardless, it's still a catchy beat. It'll make a neat ringtone.

[spideymayne]

@Sledge070685 "Today's standards," huh? What's a better theme song from this generation?

[Sledge070685]

@spideymayne

Oh you know, all that rock bands that kids listen to nowadays.

[FeatherFurr]

Speed Racer was pretty violent for being a kids cartoon. They never specifically -say- if someone died, but cars exploded ewith their drivers inside, so I can assume...

[HUSKY57887]

my mom it;thought it was too violent. I had to sneak to watch it.

[frostedlambs]

is it just me or was that car packing a nuke wen it blow up at 0:43 i mean sereosly wtf

[dajuice730]

lol what happened to the driver in the car at 0.40???? this is a cartoon......i love it

[peterfaj]

0:36 bowling ball sound?

[SilverEspeon26]

I noticed at one part a white car in the lane (not the Mach 5) turns orange.
