Line #6 Trivia/ChoujinSentaiJetman


1	* BonusEpisode: ''[[Recap/ToeiTVHeroEncyclopediaVol2ChoujinSentaiJetman Toei TV Hero Encyclopedia Vol. 2: Choujin Sentai Jetman]]'' is a direct-to-video RecapEpisode[[note]]Named Vol. 2 since it followed one for ''Series/KamenRiderBlack''.[[/note]] which was released during the run of ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' in October 1993, notable for its FramingDevice which saw Ryu and Kaori happily married with a baby son named [[DeadGuyJunior Gai]]. Was later included as BonusMaterial for the DVD release.
2	* BonusMaterial: Before ''Toei TV Hero Encyclopedia'' above, there was a ''Jetman'' exercise video presented by Rika Kishida (Kaori).
3	* CreatorBacklash: It's not an exaggeration to say Masaki Tachi, the actor for Radiguet, ''hated'' playing him because of how nasty he was as a character, and even attempted to quit the show after reading the script for episode 18 (in which Radiguet [[spoiler:kills Saki]]). For a time he didn't even let his own son know that he appeared in ''Jetman'' because of this.
4	* TheDanza: Kaori's prehistoric counterpart in episode 26 is called Rika, just like the actress playing her.
5	* TheOtherDarrin: Tsutomu Tareki succeeded Eiichi Onoda as the show's narrator.
6	* InspirationForTheWork: Page 201 of Literature/TadaoNagahamaRobotRomanceAnimationChronicleInfobook contains an interview with Takeyuki Suzuki. He mentions that he was inspired by the romance subplot in ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' to make romance a central focus of Choujin Sentai Jetman.
7	* PropRecycling: In addition to the familiar "blue neon orb" prop appearing in the back of Veronica's cockpit, parts of the cockpit clearly originate from previous ''Sentai'' cockpits; further, the device Radiguet plants to sabotage Veronica and Tranza is one half of the Twin Brace from ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman''.
8	* RealLifeRelative: Twin brothers Yuichi and Shoji Hachisuka served as the main suit actors for White Swan and Blue Swallow, respectively.
9	* WagTheDirector: Kotaro Tanaka and Toshihide Wakamatsu, the actors playing Ryu and Gai respectively, insisted to director Keita Amemiya and main writter Creator/ToshikiInoue on having more untransformed action scenes and having the characters referred to by names rather than designations. It worked!
10	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11	** A [[http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2010/11/mecha-early-designs-and-scrapped-ideas.html Super Sentai art book]] showed that they were gonna have a giant, heavily armed fortress robot, like in ''Turboranger'' and ''Fiveman'', but didn't go through with it (from the sketches, it would've been a retooled version of the Turborangers' Turbobuilder), possibly because of how badly the previous fortress robot, Max Magma from ''Fiveman'', had sold (there were reports of toy stores having shelves of unsold Max Magma toys).
12	** Like ''Sun Vulcan'', ''Bioman'', and ''Turboranger'', this series was originally going to be the first ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' series. However, Saban passed on this series in favor of [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger the next one]].
13	** Due to how much ''Fiveman'' flopped (as noted on the trivia page [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman for that series]]), Toei originally had intended for this to be the last Sentai series. Fortunately, this series ended up saving the franchise.
14	** Tranza was originally intended to [[spoiler:die, before his actor Yutaka Hirose proposed he be tortured into a catatonic state instead]]. It's said that the production team almost didn't want to film it because of horrifying it was, until Inoue pushed them to.
15	* WorkingTitle: Evidently, this show had at least a couple; director Keita Amemiya gave the tentative title of "Jumpman" in a magazine before the premiere, while [[WordOfSaintPaul Toshihide Wakamatsu (Gai Yuki)]] would recall that it was originally "Birdman".
