SPEED RACER Freaks only!

[MA-Caver]

The Women's Avatar's thread brought back memories of this show... (read the thread ... don't ask). Sooo I hunted and found ... walla! The lyrics of the theme song of one of the coolest cartoons to come out of Japan in the 70's...

Speed Racer!

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
He's gaining on you
So you better look alive
He's busy revvin' up
The powerful Mach 5
And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life
Speed Racer will see it through
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, GO!
He's off and flyin'
As he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal
Like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, GO!

Trivia Questions:
1. Name the Chimp
2. Name the organization the bad guys were called? <cartoon snickers>
3. Racer X was Speed's older brother... but what was HIS name?

Answer first then go to http://www.speedracer.com/

 

[Baoquan]

RacerX's name is Rex Racer....and the monkey is Chim Chim.

Can't remember the evil organisation, though.

 

[MA-Caver]

Very good.. you get 2/3's of Chim Chim's bag of candy! Go to the website and you'll find the Evil organization's name under Racer X's profile.

...there was actually a remake of Speed in '93...only lasted 13 eps cause it was so horrible, then there was a video game around '99 or 2000 for the PSX...I think...and now there's a newer show that I see every now and then on Nick...I have no clue when it was produced, but it's much better quality than the crap from '93. ...the next thing I wanna get my hands on is some DVD's of Lupin...that show is just so damn funny.

 

[mj-hi-yah]

LOL... Yes CHIM CHIM!!! There's your monkey psi_radar!!!!:boing2:

 

[Chronuss]

...what about the hard questions...like...what's Speed's real name...? or his brother's real name...and don't mean The Masked Racer or Rex...teehee...what about his mom's real name...?

DROOOOOL...okay have i mentioned how much i love cars especially the really unique ones....you can't have it cause it's mine and since i'm older i get it blah....it can go with the rest of the other 10 cars we have and next parked next to the 2 stangs and the jag does that work? and how do you expect everyone to know the answers to those questions...most of us don't have that type of time to sit back and watch cartoons like some people we know

 

[Cryozombie]

I have the MP3 of that theme song...

In the original Japanese.

HAHAHAHA.

Fanboys, Drool on.

 

[Chronuss]

...if I understood Japanese...mayhaps I'd be jealous...otherwise, G can keep gettin' it around the track.

 

[Cryozombie]

...if I understood Japanese...mayhaps I'd be jealous...otherwise, G can keep gettin' it around the track.

Well... to be honest with you, I dont understand Japanese, Im not even sure of the words... it sounds like:

Mah Hee Go Go
Mah Hee Go Go
Mah Hee Go Go GOOOOOOOOO!

...finally got to watch my favorite episode the other night....The Race Against The Mammoth Car....I am sorry...but Trixie needs to be shot....no...ran over by a buick...no, wait...hung from a tree...no, no...I got it now...she needs to be shot, ran over by a buick, then hung from a tree...there...that'll do it.

 

[MA-Caver]

Well guess what... it was inevitable

I am sorry...but Trixie needs to be shot....no...ran over by a buick...no, wait...hung from a tree...no, no...I got it now...she needs to be shot, ran over by a buick, then hung from a tree...there...that'll do it.

I think Christina Ricci would disagree with you Chronuss about Trixie.

and here's the trailer... funny how the bad guy sounds more like Pops Racer than John Goodman.

of course our beloved Chim-chim is there... and taking the blame.
