For everyone saying I never explained this, I did, its this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UOtXFk5OP5k.html&ab_channel=MercuryFalcon
Oh man, that's an old reference. Now I gotta go rewatch those. Edit: Did just that, holy frig I never thought about how much work must have gone into the final video.
Yeah, I don't think any of the firearms were his either. It seems he only used the enemies weapon when he got the chance. It seems like he was trained like a soldier in the way used the guns.
@@mr.commenter395 You sure about that? He was pretty locked in and hit his targets accurately. Hell he SPEED FIRED A LEVER ACTION RIFLE! That’s not something you can do without practice. It’s not unreasonable to think that Pops, or maybe even Rex taught him how to shoot.
Yeah Speed was an action hero but he never went looking for trouble. Just whatever race he was involved with would inevitably end up tangled in organized crime. He’s not James Bond where he was sent in TO stop the bad guys.
Not to mention the monkey he had as a pet and the dad who loved fixing cars for a living. Oh yeah and he couldn’t stand losing without murdering the winner.
Commentators: What in mighty goodness' name Speed Racer doing? *Speed Racer enters an argument with Racer X* *Pulls out his rifle and empties it on him* *Crowd gasps*
One of the best parts of 60s anime is his cold unchanging face as Speed is either gunning down people or running them off the road into an explosive death, he is just 100 percent desensitized to a World War amount of Trauma and he's like what, 17?
@@mrsmith570Their arses did not have the budget or knowledge to make animated action scenes look realistically intense nor epic so they just tried to work with what they had and make a vibe of its own... Is that it? This would make sense as to why animation changed so drastically from what it used to be... They are finally free from the restrictions thanks to their technology inovations. Before this, it all just looked cute and childhood-like because they had no way to make it reach cinema level. Or maybe this just goes for media in general up to today's age. Stuff may have looked a lot more unique or comforting then they do now, but the old technology was not only the cause of this but also the constraints that many people dealt with at the time. Disks and pendrives may be more fun than streaming services, but the ways people had to afford them and get them to function wasn't... Just how we may have all the options we didn't have before, but the equipaments can't make things look exactly like they did before... Because no person or machinery could handle both with all the qualities without breaking. Some ways are too opposite to ever fully blend in, and time will keep proving this in different ways... but that doesn't mean one should forever replace the other. People can watch whatever kind of show they preffer without making the ones with the different liking unwelcome to theirs a try. Now we get to have a bit of both types of artwork even if not to their full extents and this aspect is the most real of all.
After finished watching the 60's series, I must say the gunfights are quite impressive for its time. It really feels like the creator of the anime were a fan of western movies and james bond movies. The gunfights are tense and satisfying, somehow.
The guy is like a spy, he kills villain militants in all parts of the world while driving a car. He's good at fighting. I guess Bond being inspiration is guaranteed.
@@abdullahmohammed719 Fast and Furious is all about family and breaking laws of physics. Speed racer is about commiting war crimes and get away with it.
@@Quincy_Morrisyeah he is defending himself but also he is shooting them like birds on a field, absolute fuckless, not to mention the dude in the helicopter that he took down to interrogate.
What I really love and admire about Speed Racer is his ability to always take action in every given scenario. He doesn’t hesitate to always do what is necessary to be taken care of
Years later, I began to suspect that he was a dangerous mercenary who loved risk, speed and guns, who secretly fought in hot spots. Perhaps he is even more mature than we think.
Speed Racer: **breaks helicopter rotor with his car, sending the pilot into a downward spiral that ends in a firey explosion** Take it easy, that guy had a family Speed Racer: I know. They're next.
So the reason the courier goes after benny is to get the package, because if they doesn't deliver it Mojave Express will send mercenary teams after them. The rest of the killing is just to put a smile on their face.
I like he is so fast at the trigger his finger doesnt even moves to our eyes. Its like he wants so much to kill people that he becomes faster than the eye
I always loved the part where he puts the knife into his mouth and dives into the water but the sharp edge is pointed to his mouth. *Narrator* "In the next thrilling episode of Speed Racer!" "You wanna know how I got these scars?"
0:30 I like how even after he clearly won the fight and the last guy is desperately trying to escape with his life in the chopper, Speed won’t let him survive
Used to watch this when I was a kid im 57 now didn't realise it was so violent. Didn't cross my mind back then just really liked it. I think I was about 8 when I first saw it. Used to rush home from school to watch it.
I've only known Speed Racer thanks to both The Next Generation cartoon on Nicktoons, and the FOP parody from Channel Chasers. Random OG Speed Racer clips like this makes me wanna binge the entire show everytime I see them.
@@RollingBobbyJones it's funny how the japanese intro is mostly abt what a cool racecar the Mach 5 is while the US intro is an unassuming warning abt how crazy Speed is
I saw some of the show on a disk when I was a kid, I was like six or younger when I saw it. I didn't get into automobiles after watching it, but my mom did. Or already was.
Seriously, I was only 5 years old at that time watching Speed Racer on Cartoon Network. And I didn't think much of it till I rewatch it again... My favorite Sociopath.
