Speed Racer Clips I'm Shocked Were Not On YouTube Until Now

Even more unedited out-of-context clips from this great show that need to be seen to be believed.

I fucking love the dragon clip. How he starts self-consciously telling himself that the guy must have been lying since dragons aren't real, like he's worried that it might actually be true. And then he adds they aren't real *today*, as if they just went extinct. That clip has everything.

2:16 ah. The pose of a sociopath.

[@powderphysics]

The second clip where the camera pans to his feet, then up to his face is incredible and I can't figure out why

[@user-lynKx]

[@SuperNicktendoEntertainment]

I never actually realized how much of a crack-filled fever dream this show was

[@iamthewalrus8391]

People who watched the movie: what the hell did I just watch? People who watched the show before hand: A perfect adaptation

[@RCAvhstape]

I watched this show every day when I was 4 or 5. I think that might explain a few things about how I turned out.

[@DaiKaijyuu]

I watched the whole show when I was a kid, and I can tell you these clips are all the context you need.

[@normal_person2]

Speed: causes a firey crash and passenger ejection Also Speed: "You're not hurt, get up."💀

[@WhatTheFnu]

Clips like this prove why we don't need a Speed Racer Abridged. It already exists.

[@iamthinking2252_]

"Stop crying it won't do any good and anyway you have a lot of work to do starting right now" Well OK Speed, won't even give the poor fella a moment

No time for feels, man got these wheels and He gonna rake it in, get the cash glow gunnin Speed racer don't take shit, better not be runnin Cuz he got that speed, like quick wit and cunning Man gonna plan it out, write it up, pull it out A fully loaded, automatic 8 cylinder runabout Escape velocity achieved, no liftoff The shape of verocity got competitors pissed off Three spikes on the hood, that's where we come from Give you a call, meet us with bikes and stun bombs Pompadour, rotational tour In the side of your skull after we shut the door On this race, on this case, on the rest of your life We starting work right now, Speed Racer got strife

[@bionicdragon5]

Time is money! Get back to work!

[@lonerevenant0]

"Stop crying it won't do any good and anyway you have a lot of work to do starting right now" i live by that, what a fucking icon.

[@iSaintRichie23]

Speed believes in moving on, and by extension, moving on the fastest.

[@NFITC1]

That first clip was great. Speed causes woman's car to careen into a cliff, do several somersaults, EXPLODE, then he tells the woman she's not hurt and to get up. Savage! This just goes to show you that Speed Racer is the diamond in the B-anime family. It's funny how serious it tries to take itself and yet it feels like no one in the production team cared about it.

[@bluerabbit4010]

1:35 The bike sound has me crying 😂

[@thevarietychannel1017]

To me it sounds like a fart sound more than a bike sound.

[@lonerevenant0]

*WaaaAAAHWAAAAAAAaaa*

[@amyyoung2830]

Sounded like a cross between a fart and a Piccolo Pete.

[@Jack_Woods]

It's what makes this the goofiest escape just break a window for no reason, land on a perfectly positioned bike outside, and drive away with a Waaaaaahwaaaaaaa

[@_ArmIa]

Too many people are talking about “dragons aren’t real, not today” not enough people are talking about the dude who just did Mario’s Up+B through a fucking window.

[@schrodingerscat4503]

That whole scene at 1:22 was great. The dialogue, the dude being knocked out, the chuckle, the guy yeeting himself out the window and zooming away.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

I think we can all agree that Speed Racer is such a badass. Not just in terms of what he can do but also in terms of his boldness and how he actively asserts himself.

[@lucyx3008]

2:07 - 2:24 is perhaps the greatest bit of television footage i have yet seen

[@Connorses]

The way she casually introduces herself and randomly the last 3 words of that sentence are "tie him up"... I'm dying laughing over here.

[@thunder_wolf23]

Speed without hesitation: "Okay"

[@SplinterAce]

His scream at the plane crash never fails to cracks me up. Poor speed thought it was the end.

0:34 the way he cries kills me, but not as much as seeing Speed watching him cry. He’s basically looking at him going “You’re pathetic, stop being a bitch”

Its so funny! But what really ends me is the L panning into Speed!

Neither hero nor villain, speed racer is exactly what the name implies. A race driver based completely around speed.

[@makeda6530]

Every clip from this show makes Speed seem progressively more and more unhinged.

[@davidgusquiloor2665]

"You werent hurt, come on, get up" It sounds like he was speaking to a child that tripped and fall, except he is talking to someone that had a car crash.

[@TheBanishedWind]

Apparently Speed only said that after looking her over and noticing she wasn't hurt at all, let alone as much as you would think from the crash she had.

[@MeigsmerlinMeigsmerlin]

As someone who grew up watching speed racer, I have to say it is very enjoyable to see this kind of stuff gaining meme status and becoming more popular. Speed Racer is something else y'all

[@24gmj2010]

Thank you! Nice to know of another fan! I own all episodes on DVD!

[@Eduardo45]

Have you become a sociopath?

[@samsundertail6564]

I used to watch Speed Racer as a kid and had a HUGE crush on Speed,even before I knew I was gay. I'm currently rewatching the series again after I all of a sudden remembered it.

[@rc_awesome]

I only owned the first season as a kid, so a lot of these clips are still new to me and I’m dying

[@Terminatorfan-2016]

Speed Racer is definitely a dark edgy hero/antihero. He's awesome.

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

i've just started watching the show, only 4 episodes in, and I need everybody in the comments to understand that EVERY CHARACTER leaps around like panthers in skinsuits. Also in the second episode Speed straight-up kicks a man down a cliff. No remorse, no hesitation.

[@hideakidesu172]

*Speed seeing people die all around him in various ways* Also Speed: "Oh no! Anyways..."

[@3113mac]

Crash victim: so that's it? Just an "oh no! anyways"? Speed: I don't remeber saying oh no

[@nicklapallo9090]

At this point I don't actually want to watch Speed Racer I just want more out of context clips because these were a gem.

[@craytherlaygaming2852]

dude... even with context it makes no sense... and Speed is just as much of a sociopath

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

Hearing about how much the dubbers changed compared to the original makes this almost Ghost Stories level funny

[@Rrw2ko]

Speed (Go Mifune in the original Japanese version) is portrayed in the manga as a heroic racer who lives by sportmanship and would use violence only as a last resort. The anime changed it and turned him into a jerk with a hidden heart of gold, because according to anime trend at the time, audiences prefered cynical antiheroes. Go mifune in the anime is much more prideful and kind of selfish. When American animation studio dubbed the series as Speed Racer, they still thought Anime version of Go Mifune as too nice, so they decided to amped up his jerk behavior and turned into Speed most anime fans know today.

[@Coccyx69]

This is how i choose to remember the show. Zero context needed.

[@cosmic_strawberry]

I love how none of them pause when talking, they just say a super long sentence in one go with no emotion 😂😂

[@thunder_wolf23]

They had to match the show's cadence in English when it was originally in Japanese. This is something you'll see in a lot of old dubs

[@darkursrike3161]

0:19 You weren't hurt come on get up. 0:20 So I can hurt you for real, you're gonna catch these hands.

[@Vulnresati]

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Oh man, the image of 0:20. He looks so sinister, even if it wasn’t intended to be so intense.
