1 | * TheDanza: Trip and Van's butler Dudley is played by Dudley Davis. |
2 | * MerchandiseDriven: Par for the course, but the Hillhurst Monsters got their own figures. In a multi-pack gift set, no less! |
3 | * PropRecycling: The head of [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers King Sphinx]] can be seen occasionally in the comic book store on a stand. |
4 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: They never got rid of the villains of the second season, because they couldn't find a way to force them back into the comic books. In reality, they ran out of Japanese footage to use, but still ending on a never to be resolved cliffhanger? That's wrong. (And to make things worse, all three main villains ''did'' die in the original series.) |
5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
6 | ** There is some speculation that Saban might have used the ''B-Fighter'' footage to produce more seasons of ''Series/VRTroopers'', having run out of the previous footage of ''Series/MetalHeroes'' that was being used. Not wanting to alienate fans, ''VR Troopers'' was canceled and B-Fighter was adapted into Beetleborgs instead. Some rumors also say that Saban may have tried to adapt ''Series/BlueSwat'' at one point, but that didn't seem to have panned out. |
7 | ** As with its predecessor ''VR Troopers'', there was once again talk of a ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' crossover. Outside of a photo of Blake Foster in his ranger suit posing with the Hillhurst Monsters, this never materialized as a filmed product (again likely due to a lack of crossover between Sentai and Metal Heroes seasons), but a ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo Vs Beetleborgs Metallix'' comic was published in 1997. |
8 | ** Jim Gray, who played the [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Yellow Alien Ranger Tideus]], auditioned for Flabber and won the part. Negotiations with Gray's agent and the suits broke down which cost Gray the role and it went to Billy Forester. |
9 | * YouLookFamiliar: Averted; Joe Hackett, the actor for Fangula, had previously played Grimlord in season 2 of ''VR Troopers'''...only he was under a mask the whole time and overdubbed by Gardner Baldwin, so his real face never appeared on-screen. |
