1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic
2** Some listeners ears orgasmed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgIBC_aSoiw&feature=related the moment they heard]] "The Life" by Camino.
3** Heck, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLn_hB6Q6H4&feature=related the first opening]] is pretty sweet as well, and the fact that the movie makes it a DancingTheme only sweetens the deal.
4* CultClassic: Downplayed, but even over a ''decade'' after its final episode, ''Rescue Force'' retains a strong fanbase for its fun atmosphere, stunning visuals, appealing characters, and how it plays ''every emergency completely seriously'', with the jokes reserved for training or downtime scenes. The series was also praised for holding up to modern standards and is quoted by many as rivaling ''Super Sentai'' and ''Kamen Rider'' productions.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse: Reiji Osakabe/R0 from the movie, to the point where he plays a much larger role in the sequel series.
6* EndingFatigue: The show follows a standard SortingAlgorithmOfEvil up until the climatic death of Maaen in episode 38. It then becomes clear that, either for creative or budgetary reasons, the show did not have a new villain or gimmick to fill the gap until Batsu's introduction in episode 49, so it just {{Handwave}}s Maaen back into existence and brings back a parade of the previous villain gimmicks.
7* FridgeLogic - At the end of episode 38, [[spoiler:despite the saw portion of Drill being excluded from the ultimate combination, the damaged remains of Drill show it attached.]]
8* OneSceneWonder: Reiji only gets two fight scenes in the entire series, but he ''more'' than makes them count.
9* RetroactiveRecognition: Eiji Ishiguro/R5 may be more recognizable as Akira Date from ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' nowadays.
10** [[HilariousInHindsight Hilariously]], his main ally on the show and its main protagonist is also named Eiji.
11* SpecialEffectsFailure: ''Rescue Force'' uses the standard CGI quality of the time period it was made in, and with the monsters and vehicles almost no attempt is made to make them appear more realistic.
12* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: That being said, it follows the same principle as contemporary Toku shows in making up for it: Give the viewers an '''''ABSOLUTE SPECTACLE'''''. ''Rescue Force'' delivers on this with utter ''audacity'', as not only are the vehicles ''utterly GIGANTIC'' but the presentation is crafted spectacularly well, leaving viewers with their eyes glued to the screen as soon as the heroes break out the toys (which considering it's MerchandiseDriven nature is more literal than anything... not that that's a ''bad'' thing).
