But what really piqued my interest was how the Wachow-skis handled the Mach 5, Speed's trusty race car that could do just about anything, including jumping over high obstacles using jacks that shot out from under the car and cutting down trees with saw blades that slid out from beneath the Mach 5's pointed nose. The movie, also called Speed Racer, was written and directed by the same guys who created The Matrix trilogy, Larry and Andy Wachowski therefore, it's safe to say that there'll be plenty of special effects. Studios will release a live-action film based on the animated series. You might say it kick-started my passion for automobiles.
Broadcast on a UHF station in my hometown, Speed Racer was my favorite program in the early 1970s.
The animated series, titled Speed Racer (called Mach GoGoGo in Japan) is the brainchild of animation legend Tatsuo Yoshida, and it eventually developed a loyal following among American preteen viewers. The mere sight of this white, curvaceous race car will transport most thirty- and forty-something car enthusiasts back in time, to when they sat in front of their television sets as children watching their hero Speed Racer go wheel to wheel with a gang of racing villains whose on-track exploits make Tony Stewart look like Tinkerbell.
