Soon to be a major Hollywood picture, natch. With Matthew Fox as Racer X!
I can't believe Speed Racer is still around!
I wish I knew Japanese. Every time someone mentions things like this I get the idea that it's a delightful language, seemingly designed with wordplay in mind. I love the nuances, the layers of meaning. Even in silly cartoons. ;-)
In Japan, Speed Racer is called "Mach Go Go Go." "Go" means "five" and it's also the name of the main character, Gō Mifune (Speed).
Thus, the title can be read a number of ways, such as "Mach 5, Gō Mifune, Go!"
Contronymic in the sense: thrive vs. die.
