Trivia / Gekisou Sentai Carranger

• Actor-Shared Background: As with his character Minoru Uesugi, Yoshihiro Fukuda was born in Osaka.
• Bonus Episode: Gekisou Sentai Carranger Super Video was released with an issue of TV Magazine.
• Incidental Multilingual Wordplay: The title of the resident Psycho Rangers, the Bosou Sentai Zokurangers, comes from the Japanese word for motorcyle hooligans, but also sounds like the English word Bozo, which they are.
• Milestone Celebration: The show celebrated the 20th anniversary of Super Sentai, despite not being a full-fledged tribute like Boukenger would be ten years later.
• The Other Darrin: Radietta is played by Megumi Hamamatsu in #25 and then replaced with Misaki Sudou from #34 and onward. (Naturally, Green Racer lampshades it. "Hey, you've changed.")
• Prop Recycling: VRV Master's helmet is a modified version of Sol Braver's.
  • Ballinger Z appears to be using Daizyujin's God Horn as a sword in a certain promotional shot.
• Recycled Set: There was going to be a MazingerZ-styled enemy called Ballinger Z that Gynamo, Glutch, and Zelmoda were going to pilot (and Hiroshi Otake even said "JAN JA-JAAN" in an ad-lib)... but the production staff realized afterwards that they hadn't gotten permission from Dynamic Productions to do so. They'd already shot all the in-costume scenes, and in the interests of salvaging something they reused the Ballinger Z's cockpit scenes as Norishiron-Final's; this is why it is wearing a "crown" that greatly resembles Mazinger Z's mouth. However, Hiroshi Otake did get "Norishiron, GO!" in as a Shout-Out, so all was not lost. The suit itself was given to Saban, who modified it for a minor monster (along with bits from the unadapted Ohranger character Keris) in Power Rangers Turbo.
• Refitted for Sequel: The titular Sentai's name was the original name of Kousoku Sentai Turboranger.
