Ahh! Oh no! Speed's in trouble. I hope we can get to him in time!"
I have my computer running in a Speed Racer graphic and sound mode. Speed stands in real life size card board in my office/basement. Speed tins in the garage, and as you can see above, Speed is on my car too!
I asked for the 52 episode DVD set for Christmas, but we'll see. I have the first 13 episodes on DVD now and the kids love watching it with me.
..."he's a demon on wheels..."
Rumor is that folks are trying to make a live action movie with Johnny Depp as Speed. Others have tried, but not been able to seal the deal.
Maybe David can get the rights to the film and we can make one..with Pelican 911's as the bad guys ..it'll be a hit. All 911's against the Mach V ... Porsche Victory by Design meets Anime Speed!
Edit: I forgot the age thing...I'm 32! So figure that out..you old farts
(JK) ... I was still kicking dust around in a third world country when Speed was originally aired in the States, but MTV (one of their few great ideas) use to run Speed Racer every day when I was in college. The dubbing was great after a few beers...reminds me of the dubbing for Iron Chef! "ummm yeah ..ummm ahhhh! I think it's going to be really very delicious, don't you agree..ahhh..Oh.I see he's putting the squid eyes in a butter wine sauce....excusisan (sic) ...I'm down here with Motsimoto and he's ......ahhh! Ohhhh! Ummmm!"
