Speed Racer No Longer Revvin' Up That Powerful Mach 5
(Can I get a Whoop Whoop for Monty)
Or
Mach Gone Gone Gone
Peter Fernandez, bringer of crappy Japanese cartoons to American audiences, has died of cancer at the age of 83. Fernandez voiced Speed Racer, wrote the lyrics to the American version of the show’s theme song, voiced the mysterious Racer X, wrote scripts and directed the dubbers. Fernandez developed his rapid-fire delivery to match the mouth flaps from the original poly-syllabic Japanese cartoons. He got the gig after writing English dialogue for Astro Boy and Gigantor. He later played Lupin III, Daisuke Jigen, and President Jimmy Carter in a dubbed version of Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo. Other voice roles included Marine Boy, Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars, and Superbook, and he made a cameo appearance as an announcer in the 2008 live-action "Speed Racer" film.
