Editorial Review:

In this second set of adventures, Speed and his friends race against a madman's robot-controlled car in 'Race for Revenge.' Trixie gets jealous when Speed pays too much attention to the pretty title character in 'The Girl Daredevil.' In 'The Desperate Desert Race,' the gang is taken prisoner by rebel army leader Ali ben Schemer, a character who may offend Arab-American viewers.

When Mach Go Go Go debuted in syndication in the U.S. as Speed Racer in 1967, the series had been extensively re-edited to excise much of the violence. These edits cause some continuity problems: in 'Girl Daredevil,' new tires appear on the Mach-5 between two scenes, and a villain steals the car, although it was out of gas minutes earlier. As the exploits of Speed, Trixie, Sparks, Spritle, and Chim Chim remain a touchstone for fans who grew up watching them, members of Gen-Y are unlikely to be troubled by these awkward moments. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence, tobacco use, minor ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

I recently have seen the movie, so I thought I would re-visit the show and at Amazon prices, who could go wrong?

What fun these are to watch with an adult viewpoint! Now this was "serious" stuff when the show first came out but it's so campy ... Read More...
