History Trivia / GekisouSentaiCarranger

* DigitalDestruction: Most home video releases of the series feature something of a "washed out" look during eyecatches and sequences utilizing heavy video editing/green screen. This is partially because of the dated film stock Toei used at the time, and partially because of the materials on hand being damaged, similar to the infamous Orange Box releases of ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. While it was mostly edited on film, the final master was put on an analogue tape. ''Carranger'' was the first Sentai to suffer this, with the series up til ''Timeranger'' also suffering. The silver lining is that, already known to those who bought the Super Sentai V-Cinema & Movie Blu-Ray set, they can be remastered to look the same as the older shows, averting this trope.

* RecycledSet / WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was going to be a {{Anime/MazingerZ}}-styled enemy called Ballinger Z that Gynamo, Glutch, and Zelmoda were going to pilot (and Hiroshi Otake even said "[[ActorAllusion JAN JA-JAAN]]" in an ad-lib)... but the production staff realized afterwards that they hadn't gotten permission from Dynamic Productions to do so. They'd already shot all the in-costume scenes, and in the interests of salvaging ''something'' they reused the Ballinger Z's cockpit scenes as Norishiron-Final's; this is why it is wearing a "crown" that greatly resembles Mazinger Z's mouth. However, Hiroshi Otake ''did'' get "[[Anime/MazingerZ Norishiron, GO!]]" in as a ShoutOut, so all was not lost. The suit itself was given to Saban, who modified it for a minor monster (along with bits from the unadapted ''Ohranger'' character Keris) in ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''.
