1. It began on a normal day
Copy !req
2. at one of the world's busiest
international airports.
Copy !req
3. Flight number 603 and a half
Copy !req
4. will be landing in one minute.
Copy !req
5. The passengers will disembark
at Gate 14 and a quarter.
Copy !req
6. Mr. Rock Force?
Copy !req
7. It's been a long time.
Copy !req
8. I don't think you remember me.
May I speak to you for a minute?
Copy !req
9. Good. It won't take very long.
Copy !req
10. This way.
Copy !req
11. I, read in the
newspapers why you came here.
Copy !req
12. You plan to compete in
the Super Car Race?
Copy !req
13. That's right, I do.
Copy !req
14. But so what?
Copy !req
15. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
16. You gonna try to stop me
from racing, are you?
Copy !req
17. We sure are!
Copy !req
18. Okay... Rock!
Copy !req
19. There's a new race course;
Copy !req
20. it's called the Snake Track.
Copy !req
21. Looks tricky.
Copy !req
22. Isn't that where the Super
Car Race will be held?
Copy !req
23. That's right, Trixie.
Copy !req
24. And judging by that track, it's
gonna be a tough race to win.
Copy !req
25. Teams from car factories
throughout the world
Copy !req
26. will be participating.
Copy !req
27. It looks dangerous.
Copy !req
28. It'll be tough to stay on it.
You could lose control.
Copy !req
29. I know, Spritle.
Copy !req
30. There are seven curves.
Copy !req
31. And every one of them's
going to be tough;
Copy !req
32. it's gonna take all the
experience and skill
Copy !req
33. I've ever gained
to win the race!
Copy !req
34. Yeah... And it's gonna take
a tremendous amount of luck!
Copy !req
35. I can just picture those cars
leaving the track right now.
Copy !req
36. I've gotta do some practicing
Copy !req
37. on those curves
so I don't crash.
Copy !req
38. My timing's no good.
Copy !req
39. I've got to figure
a new technique.
Copy !req
40. A new technique,
that's what I need!
Copy !req
41. Look at those clouds up there!
Copy !req
42. They're beautiful!
Copy !req
43. And it's a perfect
day for a drive.
Copy !req
44. Aw, Trixie, please stop talking.
Copy !req
45. I'm trying to figure
something out.
Copy !req
46. What's the matter, Speed?
Copy !req
47. Why are you being
so moody today?
Copy !req
48. I don't think you've
been enjoying our drive
Copy !req
49. out to the country.
Copy !req
50. Hey!
Copy !req
51. For crying out loud, Trixie!
Copy !req
52. I asked you to be quiet!
I'm trying to think!
Copy !req
53. And you won't even tell me
what you're thinking about!
Copy !req
54. Look!
Copy !req
55. Wow!
Copy !req
56. Come on!
Copy !req
57. He can tip it onto two wheels!
Copy !req
58. They're trying to wreck it!
Copy !req
59. Hurry, Speed! Help him!
Copy !req
60. You're all right
now, aren't you?
Copy !req
61. He drove the car on two wheels.
Copy !req
62. That's it! That's the
technique I've gotta use
Copy !req
63. in the Super Car Race.
Copy !req
64. Why were those men trying
to push you off the road?
Copy !req
65. Well, they could be
from a rival car factory.
Copy !req
66. But why would
they act like that?
Copy !req
67. Search me. But the whole
thing could been a mistake.
Copy !req
68. They might've thought
I was someone else.
Copy !req
69. That's a fascinating
looking automatic transmission.
Copy !req
70. I never heard of one
on a racing car before.
Copy !req
71. And I'll bet you're
a racing car driver
Copy !req
72. because of the way
you were driving.
Copy !req
73. On sharp curves, you managed
to drive on only two wheels
Copy !req
74. and you didn't lose control.
Copy !req
75. And at the same time, you
didn't slow down one bit!
Copy !req
76. You didn't downshift.
Copy !req
77. I can't talk to you
right now; I'm in a hurry.
Copy !req
78. Hey!
Copy !req
79. Okay.
Copy !req
80. I'll try it.
Copy !req
81. I'm going to try those
curves without downshifting.
Copy !req
82. But that's dangerous!
Copy !req
83. I think Speed's able to do it.
Copy !req
84. Good luck!
Copy !req
85. Thanks.
Copy !req
86. Well... I hope it works.
Copy !req
87. Speed! You haven't been hurt!
Copy !req
88. He can drive on only two wheels,
Copy !req
89. even with just one hand
on the steering wheel.
Copy !req
90. The Snake Track means nothing
to a driver like that.
Copy !req
91. Who is he, anyway?
Copy !req
92. Hey... I'll bet he's gonna
compete in the Super Car Race.
Copy !req
93. Sparky, get the Mach 5 ready.
Copy !req
94. I'm gonna drive
the curves again.
Copy !req
95. What're you waiting for?
Copy !req
96. Get it ready; I've got
to practice again.
Copy !req
97. Oh no, Speed, better not.
Copy !req
98. You'll be hurt!
Copy !req
99. Spritle's right. It's much
too risky for you, Speed.
Copy !req
100. You heard me, get the car ready!
Copy !req
101. Those men from the
rival car factory again!
Copy !req
102. They'll do anything to keep me
from competing in the big race.
Copy !req
103. Oh, who can that be, battering
down the door at this hour?
Copy !req
104. Just a minute, I'll open it.
Copy !req
105. Couldn't you've
waited till morning?
Copy !req
106. I'm sorry, I couldn't because
I need my car fixed immediately.
Copy !req
107. Immediately? But it's
the middle of the night!
Copy !req
108. Can't you wait till
tomorrow morning?
Copy !req
109. No, sir, please fix it now.
Copy !req
110. Tomorrow morning
could be much too late.
Copy !req
111. Well, where is it?
Copy !req
112. Where's you car?
Copy !req
113. Is that it? T-That wreck?
Copy !req
114. It's nothing but junk!
Copy !req
115. You must be a wild driver
to wreck it like that.
Copy !req
116. And I think it's a miracle that
you're able to stand there.
Copy !req
117. Yeah, well I wasn't driving it.
Copy !req
118. What?
Copy !req
119. Okay. How about it? Are you
going to repair my car or not?
Copy !req
120. I don't think I can.
Copy !req
121. That's good to hear.
Copy !req
122. Look, Mr. Racer,
I'll gladly pay you anything.
Copy !req
123. I must have my car
to practice in.
Copy !req
124. Well?
Copy !req
125. You're a professional
racing driver.
Copy !req
126. Well, tell me, are you going
to repair my car or not?
Copy !req
127. I already said I
couldn't, didn't I?
Copy !req
128. I don't wanna touch it
until tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
129. Oh yeah?
Copy !req
130. You're ripping my robe!
Copy !req
131. - Cut it out!
- Hey!
Copy !req
132. Leave him alone!
Copy !req
133. I said lea— Oh!
Copy !req
134. Come on!
Copy !req
135. Okay...!
Copy !req
136. Good boy! You give it to him!
Copy !req
137. Good, Speed!
Copy !req
138. What's going on?
Copy !req
139. What's the big idea of
interrupting my dream?
Copy !req
140. I was dreaming about eating
Copy !req
141. a whole room full
of coconut cookies
Copy !req
142. and they were delicious.
Copy !req
143. Oh, you're—!
Copy !req
144. Yes, Speed Racer's my name.
Copy !req
145. We met when you were in trouble.
Copy !req
146. I'm sorry I didn't
recognize you.
Copy !req
147. Oh, that's okay.
Copy !req
148. Friends?
Copy !req
149. So you boys know each other?
Copy !req
150. Pops, this man has a great
technique for sharp curves.
Copy !req
151. He drives on two wheels.
Copy !req
152. Two wheels?
Copy !req
153. That's right.
Copy !req
154. Rock Force is my name.
Copy !req
155. Now will you take care
of my car, Mr. Racer?
Copy !req
156. Well, I didn't realize that
you're my son's friend.
Copy !req
157. If you agree to fix his car,
Pops, I'll be glad to help.
Copy !req
158. Thanks, Speed.
I'd be glad if you did.
Copy !req
159. I'll do it on the condition
you demonstrate to me
Copy !req
160. how you drive on two wheels.
Copy !req
161. You and your father will fix my
car only if I make a deal?
Copy !req
162. Okay, you win.
Copy !req
163. Your coat is ripped
on the sleeve there.
Copy !req
164. What's the matter, Speed?
Why are you staring at me?
Copy !req
165. Well, what is it? What're
you thinking about, Speed?
Copy !req
166. What's wrong with your arm?
Copy !req
167. Mr. Force, aren't you able to
use your right hand at all?
Copy !req
168. What?
Copy !req
169. So... you've noticed?
Copy !req
170. You've discovered
my secret, Speed.
Copy !req
171. I didn't suspect it.
Copy !req
172. When you were fighting Speed,
I- I never would've guessed.
Copy !req
173. And you should see how well
he drives with that arm.
Copy !req
174. The man who attacked
me the other day
Copy !req
175. is the same one who
did this to my arm.
Copy !req
176. He must be a terrible man.
Copy !req
177. In a way. But I was sort of
to blame for what happened.
Copy !req
178. I joined the Bell
Ring Race last year.
Copy !req
179. Jack Rival of the Rival
Motor Company offered me
Copy !req
180. a lot of money if I
would lose the race.
Copy !req
181. He tried to bribe
you to lose the race?
Copy !req
182. Then the
Bell Ring Race was fixed?
Copy !req
183. Well, I took the
money, but I wanted to win.
Copy !req
184. So, I pulled into the lead.
Copy !req
185. And... I did win.
Copy !req
186. Fair and square, I won.
Copy !req
187. But I betrayed the
Rival Motor Company
Copy !req
188. and the man who'd
bribed me to lose.
Copy !req
189. They were waiting for me—
the whole gang of 'em.
Copy !req
190. They made sure I'd never be
able to use my right arm again.
Copy !req
191. I thought my
racing days were over.
Copy !req
192. How could I drive a
fast car over a track
Copy !req
193. with twists and turns in it?
Copy !req
194. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
195. What happened then?
Copy !req
196. I went to a hospital and
spent a long time there,
Copy !req
197. but the doctors couldn't help.
Copy !req
198. I can't use my arm.
Copy !req
199. Where were the police?
Copy !req
200. I decided if I went
to the police,
Copy !req
201. everybody would find
out about my arm
Copy !req
202. and they wouldn't
let me race again.
Copy !req
203. Mr. Force, maybe if you
exercise that right arm,
Copy !req
204. you'd get it working again.
Copy !req
205. No, I've tried exercise!
Copy !req
206. But nothing's worked.
Copy !req
207. I tried driving with
only my left arm,
Copy !req
208. but I couldn't turn the car
fast enough on the curves.
Copy !req
209. I knew that unless I had full
control over my car in a race,
Copy !req
210. I'll endanger the other
drivers as well as myself.
Copy !req
211. I have to give up my dream
of being a racing driver.
Copy !req
212. On the other side of the city,
Copy !req
213. Jack Rival, head of
the Rival Motor company,
Copy !req
214. is holding an important
business meeting.
Copy !req
215. You incompetent stoneheads!
Copy !req
216. Can't you get rid
of a racing driver
Copy !req
217. who can't even
use his right arm?
Copy !req
218. Sorry, Mr. Rival.
Copy !req
219. Would you like us to take care
of his other arm as well?
Copy !req
220. Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
221. He'd tell everybody
it was no accident
Copy !req
222. and we're the one's doing it.
It would be bad for business!
Copy !req
223. I've got a special car
that'll be entered
Copy !req
224. in the Super Car Race tomorrow
Copy !req
225. and it's got to be
the winner at any cost.
Copy !req
226. That means we've
got to make sure
Copy !req
227. Rock Force is out of
the way permanently.
Copy !req
228. Any ideas how to do it?
Copy !req
229. Oh, I always have ideas.
Copy !req
230. Here. It'll be easy with this.
Copy !req
231. Easy and permanently permanent!
Copy !req
232. And when do we do the job?
Copy !req
233. That race is tomorrow,
so get rid of him tonight!
Copy !req
234. Car racing is my life.
Copy !req
235. I want more than anything to
continue being a racing driver.
Copy !req
236. It's all I care about.
Copy !req
237. But with my arm like this,
Copy !req
238. I'm not qualified to
be a racing driver!
Copy !req
239. I-I'm... just not good enough.
Copy !req
240. To qualify, I must
use my right arm.
Copy !req
241. Cheer up, Mr. Force.
Copy !req
242. I'm sure that your
arm will get better.
Copy !req
243. All you need is some
treatment of the proper kind,
Copy !req
244. and your arm will
be as good as new.
Copy !req
245. I don't think I'll
ever be able to use it.
Copy !req
246. Can't you invent
something for him, Pops,
Copy !req
247. so that he'll have full
control over his racing car?
Copy !req
248. It's hard. I doubt if I
can come up with anything.
Copy !req
249. You can, Pops. After all,
you built the Mach 5
Copy !req
250. and you can build any kinda
special car anyone wants.
Copy !req
251. Just give it some thought.
Copy !req
252. But even so, it would
be dangerous because
Copy !req
253. Mr. Force doesn't have
the use of his arm yet,
Copy !req
254. so he's liable to crash.
Copy !req
255. Speed's right, Spritle.
Copy !req
256. If Mr. Foce lost
control of his car,
Copy !req
257. other racers would
be in danger, too.
Copy !req
258. And we don't want anything
to happen to them.
Copy !req
259. But we've gotta do something
to help Mr. Force; I like him.
Copy !req
260. I'm glad to hear you
say that, Spritle.
Copy !req
261. You make me feel much better
and I won't forget it.
Copy !req
262. Mr. Force, I've got
an idea. Come with me.
Copy !req
263. But it's the middle
of the night, Speed.
Copy !req
264. Where would you be going?
Copy !req
265. Just what're you
up to, Son? Well?
Copy !req
266. Please, Mr. Force,
you've got to come with me.
Copy !req
267. Hurry, there's not much time.
Copy !req
268. All right, Speed.
Copy !req
269. I'm worried.
Copy !req
270. I hope Speed'll be all right.
Copy !req
271. He's got something
up his sleeve,
Copy !req
272. but I can't imagine what it is.
Copy !req
273. Okay, Mr. Force, I want
you to drive the Mach 5.
Copy !req
274. What's the idea, Speed?
Copy !req
275. Are you trying to
make me look foolish
Copy !req
276. because I can't
use my right arm?
Copy !req
277. Please, just get in
the car and drive it.
Copy !req
278. No, I can't do it.
Copy !req
279. I can't drive it without
an automatic transmission.
Copy !req
280. That's not true.
You just don't wanna try.
Copy !req
281. It'll just be a waste of time.
Copy !req
282. You're scared.
You're a coward. Get in!
Copy !req
283. I'm not a coward.
Copy !req
284. Then prove it. Drive the car.
Copy !req
285. Okay...
Copy !req
286. Just what we were hoping.
Copy !req
287. He's behind the
wheel of a car again.
Copy !req
288. This time, we're gonna
get him permanently.
Copy !req
289. The only way!
Copy !req
290. Oh! They're up to something.
Copy !req
291. Come on!
Copy !req
292. Come on, give her some gas!
Copy !req
293. The speed limit's 80 miles
an hour through here!
Copy !req
294. You've got to go much faster!
Copy !req
295. You'll never win any races
Copy !req
296. if you drive a racing
car this slowly.
Copy !req
297. Without the use of my right arm,
I'm afraid to drive any faster.
Copy !req
298. I don't want to crash!
Copy !req
299. You're just afraid
to work the arm.
Copy !req
300. And I'm sure that
you can wake it up.
Copy !req
301. I can't!
Copy !req
302. Don't give up. You've gotta
use that right arm.
Copy !req
303. They're just drivin'.
Copy !req
304. They're not headed
anywhere special.
Copy !req
305. Okay, let's get
to work right now.
Copy !req
306. I'm ready.
Copy !req
307. Oh! There's
going to be trouble!
Copy !req
308. Open her up all the way.
Copy !req
309. Go ahead!
Copy !req
310. Hang on!
Copy !req
311. Don't be afraid!
Copy !req
312. They're heading right toward us!
Copy !req
313. They're aiming!
Copy !req
314. Look out!
Copy !req
315. Speed!
Copy !req
316. What's going on?
Copy !req
317. Those men were trying
to get Mr. Force.
Copy !req
318. And they would have if
I hadn't stopped them.
Copy !req
319. Thank you, Spritle.
Copy !req
320. You saved my life.
Copy !req
321. You sure did, Spritle.
A fine job!
Copy !req
322. Now listen to me.
Copy !req
323. Mr. Force, I think you should
enter the big race tomorrow.
Copy !req
324. You have a very good
chance to win it.
Copy !req
325. What?
Copy !req
326. You're kidding!
Copy !req
327. I don't kid about
things like that. I mean it!
Copy !req
328. According to the rules,
Copy !req
329. a racer must be in tip-top
shape to compete in the race.
Copy !req
330. And you can drive
as well as any man
Copy !req
331. who has full use of both arms,
even better than some!
Copy !req
332. Speed's right. You're one of
the best drivers I've ever seen.
Copy !req
333. Let's face it.
In tomorrow's race,
Copy !req
334. you and I are gonna be
competing against each other,
Copy !req
335. and it's gonna
be a tough fight.
Copy !req
336. Right.
Copy !req
337. And I'll beat you, Speed.
Copy !req
338. We'll see about that.
Copy !req
339. Anyway, good luck.
Copy !req
340. Good luck to you.
Copy !req
341. What a race...
Copy !req
342. Go, Speed! Come on!
Copy !req
343. - You can win!
- Wow!
Copy !req
344. Speed's pulling ahead.
Copy !req
345. Nobody can beat
him now, I'll bet.
Copy !req
346. Don't be so sure.
Copy !req
347. Mr. Force is going faster;
he's catching up to him!
Copy !req
348. I'm worried about
those sharp curves.
Copy !req
349. Watch out, Speed! Hurry up!
Copy !req
350. - Get rid of him!
- Go!
Copy !req
351. This is your last
chance to pull ahead!
Copy !req
352. He passed me.
Copy !req
353. I've got to overtake him.
Copy !req
354. I'm in the lead.
Copy !req
355. But if I don't keep it now,
I'll lose the race.
Copy !req
356. - Come on, Speed! Come on!
- Go!
Copy !req
357. Go!
Copy !req
358. Pass him!
Copy !req
359. Come on, pass him!
Copy !req
360. Faster!
Copy !req
361. Rock Force wins!
Copy !req
362. Both racers crossed the finish
line at almost the same instant,
Copy !req
363. but Rock Force wins the trophy!
Copy !req
364. That was amazing!
Copy !req
365. How's it feel to be
the winner of the race?
Copy !req
366. Please come to the judge's
stand for your award.
Copy !req
367. Wait a minute, you can't
give him the trophy.
Copy !req
368. He's disqualified; he has
the use of only one arm.
Copy !req
369. Just what do you mean?
Copy !req
370. Without the use of his
right arm, he's disqualified.
Copy !req
371. He doesn't deserve
to win the trophy.
Copy !req
372. Listen, I won the race
fair and square.
Copy !req
373. Let go of him!
Copy !req
374. Aw, what's the use of
fighting? You lost anyway.
Copy !req
375. On your feet!
Copy !req
376. - Okay.
