Speed Racer (2008)
The movie Speed Racer is based on the TV cartoon series in 1967 which originated from a manga series “Mach GoGoGo.” This title is an interesting mix of words. Go in Japanese means 5, and Speed was originally named Go Mifune. When translated, the title would say “Mach 5, Go Mifune, go!”. It is popularly believed that the letter “M” on the Mach 5 stands for “Mach,” it actually stands as the symbol of their family business “Mifune Motors”. Although the Western version of the series changed most of these Japanese details, M for Mach is also acceptable. Another notable detail in this film is the race commentator played by Peter Fernandez who voiced Speed Racer in the original series.
