* NoExportForYou: Averted, suprisingly. The series was shown, subbed, on Hawaiian TV in the 70s and 80s. The show's cast of tokusatsu alumni might be part of the reason it was given an export.
* YouMightRememberMeFrom: Tokusatsu fans may be pleased to know that [[Series/MightyJack Toshiro Hachiro]], [[Creator/HiroshiFujioka Kamen Rider #1]], [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger the original Akaranger]], and [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Kamen Rider Stronger]] all appeared in this series as part of the main cast.
