5.0 out of 5 stars Speed Still Leads, June 24, 2000

This review is from: Speed Racer: Fastest Car on Earth [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was excellent. The animation was ahead of its time, the story was exciting and full of thrills at every turn. My six year old son enjoyed it almost as much as I did and we are looking forward to purchasing more Speed Racer videos and toys in the near future. This video is a must for any serious Speed fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speed Racer: Fastest Car On Earth, April 26, 2004

This review is from: Speed Racer: Fastest Car on Earth [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I find this particular episode interesting because something rather unusual happens here. Speed Racer manages to surprise (or shock) the viewers, including yours truly, by stealing the sleek, gold-tone race car with the super-natural "GRX" engine under it's hood. Because of his scrupulous up-bringing, it is unusual to see Speed commit a crime. He's "Mr. goody two shoes". Always trying to do the right thing. But Speed did not have the benefit of a "special treatment" GRX race car drivers receive before they're allowed to get near the car. Without this treatment ,as Speed will soon learn, which is administered by the car's owner (who also grave-robbed the GRX), a driver has NO chance of keeping the GRX, which travels at an unearthly speed, under his control. This treatment is supposed to enhance a race car driver's reflex - to enable him to react (and, or act) to the car's sudden movements as he's driving it. Without it, the driver goes insane; and usually ends up killed, or seriously injured in a spectacular crash. Fortunately, Speed's father, "Pops" Racer, his little brother, Spritle, and Spritle's pet chimpanzee, Chim Chim are in hot pursuit. What follows is a hilarious rescue attempt by Chim Chim; Spritle and Chim Chim always privide welcomed, comic-relief. And I loved the way Pops Racer mixes it up with the brutes. As a former pro wrestler, he handled himself (and the brutes) really well. This is one of my favorite episodes.

It was such a joy to see Speed Racer again. It is so hard to find. I shared it with my 4 year old son and he watches it all the time. d
