Speed Racer/YMMV


  • Americans Love Speed Racer: While not exactly obscure in Japan, Mach GoGoGo is mostly known there for being popular in America. In fact, even the Japanese dub of the live-action film kept the American title and names of the characters and the 1997 remake was mainly made with the intention of dubbing it overseas.
  • Ear Worm:
    • The main theme will stay in your head forever.
    • The Russian version of the intro song known as New Adventures of Speed Racer is permanently etched into subconscious of a whole generation.
  • It Was His Sled: Racer X is Speed's brother. This was almost convincingly subverted in The Movie, making the Double Subversion at the end all the more juicier.
  • Nightmare Fuel: There was a scene where Trixie has a nightmare where she runs up to Speed from behind, and he turns around and he's a blue faced psychotic demon with nasty sharp pointy teeth... Who gets set on FIRE.
  • So Bad It's Good: Except it's so bad it's awesome.
  • Subbing vs. Dubbing: Many people actually prefer the dub because, well, a lot of people grew up on it and it has its Narm Charm from being made in the 60s.
