History Trivia / PowerRangersNinjaStorm

* DawsonCasting: Averted with Sally Martin and Glenn [=McMillan=], who were in their teens at the time of filming. Played straight with everyone else in the central cast (special mention goes to Jason Chan, who was in his early thirties when production started).

** According to Doug Sloan, he wanted to avert TheSmurfettePrinciple by doing a GenderFlip of one of the Rangers (most likely not Red or Yellow), but Disney vetoed it. Had this happened, then we would've seen the first female non-Yellow Ranger with a male Sentai counterpart.

** Crimson Ranger Hunter Bradley also shares the same name with [[Anime/ZoidsNewCentury one of the members of the Blitz Team.]]

* And by one of the only we mean besides: Tommy, Adam, Carlos, Trip, Xander, Mike, and Riley.

** The entire series would have ended up being VERY different had the show not moved to New Zealand and changed production crews. Plans of Tommy serving as mentor, a CanonForeigner Dark Yellow Thunder Ranger appearing (to help offset TheSmurfettePrinciple), villains such as Scorpina and allies like Ninjor, and reappearances from various previous Rangers were all quashed the minute that production left the US and the writing staff was replaced. See [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Hexagon here]] for more.

* ActingForTwo: Grant [=McFarland=] as Sensei and Lothor and Danny Sing as their past selves.

* FakeNationality: New Zealander Grant [=McFarland=] and Malaysian Jason Chan as the Japanese Kanoi and Cameron Watanabe.

** A crossover with ''[[PowerRangersWildForce Wild Force]]'' was planned as stated in an interview by producer Jackie Marchand, but due to production relocating to New Zealand and that it would be too expensive to bring in the cast, it was scrapped.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Very early materials suggested that the rivalry between the Wind and Thunder Rangers was supposed to play out a lot longer than it did (and possibly be the central conflict of the series, rather than a traditional villain), with kids even being encouraged to pick sides for themselves.

** The Tori character may well have become a carbon copy of her ''Hurricanger'' counterpart (aspiring IdolSinger Nanami) had Emma Lahana, who auditioned for this role before becoming Kira in [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder the following season]], gotten the part instead of Sally Martin.

* NamesTheSame: Shane shares the same first and last name of the guitarist for [[ThreeInchesOfBlood 3 Inches of Blood]].

* ActingForTwo: Grant [=McFarland=] as Sensei and Lothor

* IKnewIt: Dustin's reaction to being given a morpher is to stress that he called Power Rangers being real.

** Amit Bhaumik, the Story Editor for Series/PowerRangersWildForce had entirely different plans for how he planned on running the season before production moved to New Zealand. [[http://amitbhaumik.tumblr.com/post/38658236644/hexagon They can be read here]]. Among other things:
*** The plot would have seen a ''ComicBook/CivilWar''-style plot with the Rangers being divided between Tommy's group the Hexagon, which consolidated the Rangers under a single banner, and a rebel group lead by Jason who didn't think one person should have that much power.
*** The Hurricanger equivalents would have been the Hexagon's latest heroes, possibly getting their powers from Ninjor, while the Goraiger equivalents would have been on Jason's side; Bhaumik claims to have been pulling for the creation of a new, US-exclusive ranger, a female Thunder Ranger with a dark yellow suit to preserve the "two girls per season" dynamic.
*** The villain forces would consist of "loose ends" from past seasons, including [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Scorpina, Lokar]], and [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Prince Gasket]]. The MonstersOfTheWeek from ''Hurricanger'' would be reshuffled into subordinates of these characters (such as more mechanical ones being Gasket's minions), or else placed into a new faction lead by the Hurricanger villains.
*** The FinalBoss of the season would be...Tommy himself, who went WellIntentionedExtremist and needed to be shown the error of his ways. He would have used the Shurikenger[=/=]Green Samurai Ranger suit, because of its [[CallBack strong resemblance]] to his original Green Ranger suit.
