3.0 out of 5 stars RUNNING ON FUMES ! Jun 22 2006
By The Critic TOP 100 REVIEWER
"Speed Racer" volume 4 is a complete disappointment and the individual volumes are a joke. Why did the studio decide to split the final 16 episodes of speed racer into two volumes? The entire series of this classic animated show only had 52 episodes, so why 5 separate volumes. The studio has resorted to cheap gimmicks from the start to sell their DVD's and that's just wrong.

The first season had rubber tire packaging (neat). The second season had a slip cover with music and blinking headlights (cool). The third season was a DVD in a cheap tin can (very cheap). The fourth season contains only 8 episodes and comes with a 1/64 scale die cast Mach 5 (big deal). I don't know about the rest of you but I stopped playing with dinky cars a long time ago and I definitely would have liked the final 16 episodes in one volume. Why didn't the studio just release the entire series in a limited edition boxed set with some type of die cast? Maybe some TV shows need gimmicks to sell, "Speed Racer" certainly doesn't!

DVD Episodes #37 -#44:
37: The Terrifying Gambler
38: The Secret Invaders Part 1
39: The Secret Invaders Part 2
40: The Man Behind the Mask
41: The Car Destroyer
42: The Desperate Racer
43: The Dangerous Witness
44: Race the Laser Tank

5.0 out of 5 stars This should have been the end of Speed Racer Jan 25 2006
By joseph Corey - Published on Amazon.com
If the reports are correct, this volume should contain only 8 episodes of Speed Racer from the original series. This means you'll be seeing:

The Terrifying Gambler

The Secret Invaders (Part 1)

The Secret Invaders (Part 2)

Man Behind the Mask

The Car Destroyer

The Desperate Racer

The Dangerous Witness

Race the Laser Tank

So it appearsLionsgate will stretch this out one more year by since there's still the final 8 episodes left to be release. At least they're making up the lack of episodes (since Vol. 3 had 13 episodes) by including a Mach 5 car - which is a better gimmick than the theme song cover that had the battery die after six months.

As for the show, it's always amazing. Before my cousin shipped out to Iraq, we spent an afternoon watching Vol. 2. It was like we were back to being in elementary school - except we didn't need a fake ID to buy our beer. The limited animation techniques in the series don't detract from the story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing May 23 2006
By David FERNANDEZ SABIO - Published on Amazon.com
Only 8 episodes not in order as the Tv broadcasted,the last one compressed and fast paced.Only the die cast collectible makes the set worth.I hope Lions Gate learn the lesson and the last release of the series can be better.I'll be waiting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Die-Cast Mach 5 is a Nice Touch Mar 31 2006
By N. Lim - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
The collectible die-cast Mach 5 is a definite improvement over the round tin case from volume 3. It is pretty durable and measures 3 3/8" long x 1 3/8" wide x 3/4"high. The only moving parts are the wheels/tires. It rolls forward very easily but has trouble rolling backwards. The interior is painted red (as it should be), and you can see the steering wheel, two seats, and stick shift. The steering wheel, however, has no buttons (too small). In addition to the headlights, you can also see the outlines of the two doors, trunk, homing bird hatch, and periscope hatch.

The height and width of the outer box matches the same dimensions of a standard DVD case but is almost 1 1/2" deep to accommodate the die-cast toy.

The DVD begins with four previews, which you can just skip (run times in minutes:seconds):
Ultimate Avengers The Movie 1:55
Dragons Metal Ages 1:47
Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever 1:13
Pinocchio 3000 1:59

All four are either 2D or 3D animation. Beyond the previews, I found no other DVD extras, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five.
