Speed takes part in a race where any sort of car can participate. He soon faces off with a very dangerous 200-yard mammoth car.
Here he comes,
here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna
be chasing after someone
He's gaining on you so
you better look alive
He's busy revving 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 flying as he guns
the car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal
like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting just ahead
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer, go!
[NARRATOR] At the starting point
of the No Limit World Race,
Speed Racer, driver for the Go Team,
guns the engine of his car,
the fabulous Mach 5.
[SPARKY] Okay, Speed!
The brakes and wheel systems
are all working perfectly.
We're all set!
Out of the way, Sparky!
[TRIXIE] Wait! Wait,
Speed! Wait for me!
[TRIXIE] Sorry I'm late.
You know you won't win
if you don't have me
as your assistant.
[NARRATOR] And here come
Speed's kid brother, Spritle,
with Chim Chim.
[gasps]
[SPRITLE] Hop in, Chim Chim.
[POPS] Spritle...
There's no room for you and
Chim Chim in the Mach 5.
I built that car to hold
only two people, see?
Hey, Trixie, I know every
part of the car.
After all, I'm the mechanic.
So let me ride in the
race with Speed.
[TRIXIE] Oh, no!
I know every part of the car
just as well as you do.
I'm able to change tires fast
and make all the repairs.
Those jobs are much too
tough for a girl.
[TRIXIE] Is that so?!
Listen, Sparky.
I can do everything in the
Mach 5 that you can do.
But this is the most important
race we've ever been in!
Let me ride!
No, I'm going to be the assistant.
But this race'll be tough for a girl.
I can be tough if I have to.
Get out!
No!
I'm riding!
[TRIXIE gasps]
Put me down!
Sparky, cut it out!
The other racers are
getting into position.
BOTH gasp)
[SPEED] This should be some race
"cause any kind of car can be in it.
[TRIXIE] That's right, cars
from everywhere in the world.
[SPARKY] And all kinds'a drivers, too!
It's gonna be dangerous!
[CROWD gasping, chattering]
[MAN A] Hey, look what's coming!
[ALL gasp]
That car's more than 200 yards long!
A Mammoth Car!
[ANNOUNCER] Racing car fans,
the officials will now
inspect the entries
in the great No Limit World Race.
[OFFICIAL A] We wanna
inspect your car, Speed.
[ALL gasp]
[SPARKY] But sir, the rules
say any kinda car
can race in the race.
So why do you have
to inspect the cars?
[INSPECTOR] There's a
good reason, Sparky.
[SPARKY] Oh, Inspector Detector.
How are you, Inspector?
[INSPECTOR laughs]
[INSPECTOR] Glad to see ya!
Fifty million dollars
in gold bars
that were being kept in
the National Bank
were stolen last week.
Yes, we read about it, sir.
It's possible that someone
might try to smuggle
those gold bars out of the country
some time during the race.
We won't be able to search the
cars once the race starts,
so we'd better do it now.
We can't afford to let the
robbers get away
with a fortune like that.
But 50 million dollars in gold
bars is an awful lot of gold,
and it would take an
awfully big car
to smuggle it away in, wouldn't it?
[INSPECTOR] Mm-hm.
But the bank robbers
are very clever,
and they might've found a way
to make the gold bars smaller.
Or they might have
melted the gold bars
into the shape of a car.
Cruncher Block's the
head of the gang,
and he'll stop at nothing.
[SPEED] Golly!
The Mach 5 passes the
inspection, Inspector.
- [INSPECTOR] Good.
- l knew we would.
Well. Good luck, Mach 5 Team.
[SPEED] Thanks.
So long, Inspector.
Go right ahead, Inspector.
Look around all ya want.
[INSPECTOR] This car looks
too big for the race.
It doesn't seem fair to me.
[DRIVER A] Well, it is fair.
The rules said any
kinda car can enter.
We wanna give you a tour
through the Mammoth Car.
--Come on up! --[INSPECTOR] Okay.
[INSPECTOR] Hmm.
[DRIVER B] The main engine
has 7,500 horsepower.
Each Mammoth Wheel also contains
an engine of 1,500 horsepower.
Altogether, the Mammoth Car
is driven by 30,000 horsepower.
[INSPECTOR] Hmm.
[DRIVER B] The Mammoth Car can
travel over 500 miles an hour...
...on any kinda road.
[DRIVER B] The brakes are magnetic
and a single push of a
button will stop the car.
We have an army of mechanics
to fix anything that
might go wrong.
[DRIVER B] The car
is so powerful,
we can't lose the race.
[ALL gasp]
Did you find out how many
cylinders the engine has?
And if it's equipped with a supercharger?
The car is equipped with
everything anybody can imagine.
[SPARKY] Oh!
Hm.
Oh... Wow!
[DRIVER B] Spying on us, eh?
[DRIVER B] Heh?
I was just tryin' to find out
if the car's equipped
with any special inventions that
I don't know about.
[DRIVER B] You wanna learn all
about the Mammoth Car, eh?
Okay, I'll be glad to show
ya around. Come on!
Right this way.
[screaming]
[SPARKY] Help! Hey, let me go!
I was only kidding!
[DRIVER B chuckles]
Where's Sparky?
[POPS] Hm?
I don't know. I don't see
him around anywhere.
He might be up to mischief.
I would be if I were him. Right?
Right, Spritle. But you're not Sparky.
Maybe I'll have to be
Speed's assistant driver,
so I better get into good shape.
[yelps]
[POPS] Ooh. and to think ll
used to be known
as Dragon Racer,
the famous wrestler!
[groans]
[POPS] I'm ready...
Sorry, but Speed needs a real
groovy assistant, Pops.
And right now, you couldn't
even lift a monkey wrench!
So long!
[yelps]
[ANNOUNCER] The race is about to begin.
Start your engines!
Here goes!
Who's that?
[SPEED] Huh?
[NARRATOR] Unknown to Speed,
this is his older brother, Rex,
who ran away from home years ago.
[yelping]
[ANNOUNCER] Stand by...
The gorgeous Miss Racing
Car will lower the flag
for the start of the 500 mile
No Limit World Race!
[trumpets playing]
[CROWD cheering]
- [POPS] Go! Go! Go! Go, boy!
- [SPRITLE] Go! Come on, Speed!
[whistle blows]
[groaning]
[RACER X] Come on, Sparky. Get up.
[SPARKY] Huh?
You look familiar.
Tell me what happened.
I was looking at the Mammoth
Car when its driver grabbed me,
dragged me in here,
and knocked me out!
The Mammoth Car's driver?
[whimpering]
The Mammoth Car's
catching up to us!
It may be too tough
for us to beat, Speed.
But we've got to try!
[TRIXIE screams]
[whistle blows]
[screams]
BOTH gasp)
[TRIXIE gasps]
Come on! Let's help the
engineer to clean up!
[TRIXIE] Oh, look.
[coughing]
Is that clumsy monster
supposed to be a car?!
[NARRATOR] Mechanics quickly
repair the Mammoth Car.
And it's ready to continue the race.
The car's pulling away! Let's go!
That's very peculiar.
The Mammoth Car was hardly
scratched in the crash,
so why did the mechanics
have to repair it?
Trixie, I'll bet there's some
kind of mysterious secret
to the whole thing.
A secret? I wonder what it could be.
Let's use the robot camera!
I'll adjust it for x-rays and
put it on the reflex timer.
It should tell us the secret.
[TRIXIE] The x-ray picture
should tell us
what the Mammoth Car's carrying.
The camera's all ready for flight.
Okay! I'll pull out the robot.
[NARRATOR] The robot
carrier speeds ahead
with the x-ray camera which
will shoot through metal,
and may be able to reveal the
secret cargo of the Mammoth Car.
[DRIVER B] Huh?
[DRIVER B] A spy!
And now the robot's back.
[TRIXIE] Ah.
Oh! Somebody shot it!
[SPEED] They sure did!
Them!
[NARRATOR] The Mammoth Car
sends a radio signal.
[NARRATOR] The signal travels
halfway around the world
to reach the luxurious
secret headquarters
of the owner of the Mammoth Car,
the notorious Cruncher Block.
Speed Racer sent a
flying robot camera
to spy on the Mammoth Car?
I see... Better get rid of him.
Now listen to me.
You've got to stay in the race
because it's the only way
you'll be able to carry
that 50 million bucks in
gold bars out of the country.
[TRIXIE] I don't see any
other cars, Speed.
Now the race is between
the Mammoth Car and us.
And I'm beginning to suspect
that they may be
carrying the gold.
[SPEED] Hang on!
Speed! Look!
[SPEED] Huh?
[screams]
[NARRATOR] It's Speed's
older brother, Rex,
in disguise as Racer X.
[SPEED] Another car!
[NARRATOR] Rex spreads
oil on the road.
[THUG A yelps]
[screaming]
[engine revs]
Thanks to Racer X,
we can go on now! Go!
[POPS] I see...
So the driver of the Mammoth
Car slugged you, huh?
They'll stop at nothing to win.
So we've got to catch a
plane to where they are
and try to help Speed and Trixie.
That was the last plane
leaving for the north?
But we've got to fly there!
[TICKET AGENT] Well,
unless you can sprout wings
and fly there by yourself,
you'll have to wait
for our next plane,
which leaves tomorrow morning.
[POPS] But my son, Speed Racer,
is in the big race and he
may need our help.
[TICKET AGENT]
But I can't help you.
We don't have any more planes.
[POPS] Oh, no?
What's that big thing
sitting out there?
Don't tell me it's a bird!
No, sir, but it's privately owned.
It belongs to Cruncher Block.
[POPS] Hmm...
My special Motorcycle Mayhem
Team failed to stop the Mach 5.
But once we fly up there,
I'll personally see that the
job's done permanently!
[SPRITLE] Uh-oh!
[NARRATOR] Unbeknown
to Cruncher Block,
Speed Racer's kid brother,
Spritle, and Chim Chim
have stowed aboard the plane.
[CRUNCHER laughs]
I always get hungry when
I'm up to skullduggery.
Give me a sandwich!
BOTH gasp)
Where is it?! You old pig!
You ate it yourself, eh?!
Look! The Mammoth Car's
beginning to slow down!
It's too big and heavy for
this mountain road.
Maybe now we'll get a chance
to catch up to it!
[TRIXIE screams]
They're after us!
[SPEED] Huh?!
I think we'll be safe now.
The path we made will be too
narrow for them to follow us on.
Oh!
Here comes the Mammoth Car again!
I've got to find some way to stop it!
I'm gonna try to rip those tires off.
- [TRIXIE screams]
- [SPEED] Hang on!
[screams]
BOTH gasp)
I'm gonna try to get away from them.
[SPEED] Now!
[BOTH scream]
[NARRATOR] The amazing Mach 5
is a car that can do many things.
But can it pull Speed Racer and Trixie
from the depths of this northern lake?
And if so, will they be able
to escape the Mammoth Car?
