Summary: Speed Rules!
Comment: Another great season and release from the classic Speed Racer series. A Must Have for Speed Racer fans!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excitement, Fun, and good role models for Girls and Boys
Comment: Speed Racer was one of my fav cartoons as a little girl, and so I naturally bought the series for my own 6 year old daughter. Need I tell you she loves it?
These are exciting stories, terrific animation, and I feel I should say that it offers good role models for women. Many of the women in Speed Racer are daredevils themselves, and Trixie always stood up tall in her role as well. Speed Racer does have somewhat of a violent undertone (that my mother hated), but I feel it's no worse than any other cartoon violence you have seen anywhere else. It doesn't seem at all gratuitous, either, but is used to carry the story.
I loved the names of the characters, too. In the first episode of this Vol. (#24), we meet Prince Jam, Prince Sac-Charin, and further references to sugary sweets in the names. I think this adds to the charm and also makes Speed Racer equally fun for the adult viewer.
My favorite episode of all times is on this Vol. - Man on the Lam. It starts out with a man escaping from prison, and then meeting a blind little girl. A few twists and a surprise ending are in this story. Holds up well over time! I think if you grew up on Speed Racer, you will enjoy watching this again, and introducing it to your own kids, either boys or girls.

Summary: He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back.....
Comment: Speed is back! In volume 3, Speed's exploits keep him in the driver's seat, laying waste to his competition! Supporting him, and keeping the Mach 5 in top racing form, is Pops Racer, Trixie, Sparky, Spritle and Chim-Chim (where do they get these names!). Villains abound, as Speed races the Mach 5 to defeat evil plans!
The 13 Thrilling episodes are:
The Royal Racer (part 1)
The Royal Racer (part 2)
The Car Hater
The Race Against Time (part 1)
The Race Against Time (part 2)
The Snake Track
The Man on the Lam
Gang of Assassins (part 1)
Gang of Assassins (part 2)
The Race for Life
The Supersonic Car
Crash in the Jungle (part 1)
Crash in the Jungle (part 2)
Speed has his hands full! Well, it's on to volume 4, as Speed takes the Mach 5 to the winner's circle, once again!
