Line #1 Trivia/Bravestarr


1	* ActingForTwo: Creator/CharlieAdler voices both Deputy Fuzz and Tex Hex, leading to this when they interact.
2	* DuelingShows: ''[=BraveStarr=]'' debuted in 1987, the same year as ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs'' premiered (in America) and a year after ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Wildfire}}''.
3	* ExecutiveMeddling: [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080423201457/http://www.bravestarr.org/article3.html This article]] details the disagreements between Creator/{{Filmation}} and toy licensee Creator/{{Mattel}}.
4	* FakeNationality: The titular character is Native American but is voiced by a white actor.
5	* RecycledScript: "To Walk a Mile", "Unsung Hero" and "No Drums, No Trumpets" have the same premise: a man is anti-violence, his child thinks he's a coward, the kid is abducted or threatened by the bad guys, the man regains his courage and joins [=BraveStarr=] in saving the day, and his kid thinks much higher of him at the end.
6	* TroubledProduction: Unlike most of Filmation's other titles, this one averts DomesticOnlyCartoon as a result of this. Due to high costs finally catching up to the studio, this was the first, and only, time the studio had to subcontract the ink and paint of the show overseas to an [[UncreditedRole uncredited]] studio.
7	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
8	** Tex Hex was originally intended to be a villain in ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'', but the creators liked him so much they built this series around him instead.
9	** It's a terrible pity that the Creator/{{Filmation}} version of ''Sherlock Holmes In the 23rd Century'' never got produced.
10	** Early material shows J.B.'s uniform to have been originally light and dark shades of blue with gold accents instead of black, gray and silver. Also, Deputy Fuzz's balbo-type beard seems to have gotten stage fright and settled around his neck at some point prior to the movie and series proper.
11	** In the [[UniverseBible series bible]]:
12	*** [=BraveStarr=] was said to be the last of his tribe, the Martian redhawks. His powers were centered around an amulet upon his wrist, a relic of his people. The amulet also let him talk to animals. He was apparently going to use his Optivisor more, since it (or some sort of visor, anyway) shows up in large chunk of the concept art, as well as his Starshield. The bible also calls him Marshal Starr once or twice, as if it were his last name.
13	*** Thirty-Thirty is explicitly said to be a hypochondriac robot whose greatest joy in life was constantly ordering new parts and gizmos to attach to himself. The concept art shows him with "3030" on his chest. There's no "Sarah Jane", but he does have a big, unnamed, freeze rifle/cannon.
14	*** Come to think of it, most of the firearms are described as "[[HarmlessFreezing freeze guns]]" as well. On both sides of the law. The probably would have cut down the tension in a number of episodes considerably. ("No, son, I won't fight back. I promised I'd never fire my harmless freeze gun again.")
15	*** The doctor character (and main female) was Miss Mandy Manchester, M.D., a idealistic type who'd even treat a member of Tex Hex's group if necessary, and who had plenty of time to stumble onto Hex's schemes, and often interfere with them on her lonesome.
16	*** There is ''no'' Judge J.B. [=McBride=], nor her father.
17	*** Daisy "The Blue-eyed Disaster" Mullins was to be the daughter of the richest man in town, who constantly got herself into trouble including being a constant kidnap victim.
18	*** The Prairie People were supposed to be shrewd little opportunists who were constantly selling Thirty-Thirty questionable new parts. The also had shamans of their own as well as other magics.
19	*** "Lasso" was to be a laconic cowpoke whose incredible skill with his multirope allowed him to snare three ne'er-do'wells at once.
20	*** There is '''no''' Shaman. Unless you count the ones among the Prairie People.
21	*** There is '''no''' Stampede.
22	*** Tex Hex is just a greedy outlaw with a Hexmaker gun (whose default setting is apparently a freeze ray) and Hexloads. He's not explicitly mentioned to be undead -- he still looks about like he does in the series, but he could just be a weird alien. He seems to have a bit more decency than he ultimately ended up with, getting ashamed at the end of a "One Tin Soldier"-type story concept.
23	*** Totem was to be a robotic villain who could [[DetachmentCombat separate into individual parts]] under his control. Some scripts actually have him included as one of the characters, with dialogue and scenes, but they seem to have decided not to include him in the final series.
24	*** Sandstorm was a great humanoid sand walrus, but a neutral character who just wanted to be left alone, but could be easily tricked by Tex into rampaging against the people of New Cheyenne for one reason or other. It's mentioned that it takes all of [=BraveStarr=]'s effort to calm him down again, indicating what seems to be a way harder fight than he ever gave in the series.
25	*** Vipra was called "Viper", and was an independent villainess who occasionally worked with Tex Hex. Her headband could hypnotize people and create a thick fog.
26	*** Bloat was a massively fat alien who could suck in air to BlowYouAway or swell up even bigger, reaching the size of a blimp in which form he was capable of floating (propelled by SuperBreath) and lifting tons of loot.
27	*** The bible mentions a potential connection and crossover with ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' that never materialized. The outline would have had He-Man showing up at the beginning of a young [=BraveStarr=]'s story, saving his life and inspiring him before disappearing. Years later [=BraveStarr=] would return the favor and some stable way of crossing universes would be written in. The goal for this was, of course, [[MerchandiseDriven to sell more MOTU characters]].
28	*** A few of the scripts included in the ''[=BraveStarr=]'' DVD differ very much from the final version of the episodes.
