* GodNeverSaidThat: A mistranslated interview had claimed for years that Joe Odagiri resented his time on ''Kuuga'' and took it off his resumé after moving on. He actually said that he didn't want to be [[TypeCasting typecast]] into children's shows, and there's evidence that he's at least neutral to the role: he kept in touch with his co-stars, attended Wakana Aoi (Minori Godai)'s wedding, and was committed to doing TheMovie up to its cancellation. When asked directly about supposedly removing the show from his resumé, he responded "Of course not! Don't say such unpleasant things!". He ''has'', though, said he doesn't really care for tokusatsu as a genre and took the role as a favor to producer Shigenori Takatera; since Takatera was fired due to the TroubledProduction of ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'', he has no real motivation to reprise his role.

** In 2001 Creator/{{Syfy}} were planning to air the show in America to cash in on the surprise success ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'' had with older audiences. The plans would fall through due to some rather ridiculous demands they had, such as having the soundtracks be replaced with grunge rock and nu-metal, and the dub they planned on using (from Omni Productions) being rather low quality.

!!Random Trivia
* For Latin American viewers, and while not being the first ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series dubbed to Latin American Spanish (that honor goes for both ''Series/MaskedRider'' and ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'') nor the first Japanese-made series to be broadcasted in that region, as this series was previously broadcasted in South America only at the 2000s, this is the very first Japanese-made ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series dubbed to Mexican Spanish, as the previous dub was done in Venezuela (see below), along with ''Series/KamenRiderAgito'', ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' and ''Series/KamenRider555''.

* DuelingDubs: There's two Latin American Spanish dubs: The first one, which was done in Venezuela and broadcasted in South American countries only. Only 25 episodes were dubbed (see below for extra details). A new dub, done in Mexico, was done at 2021 to replace the Venezuelan one and, unlike the first one, the newer Mexican dub will be broadcasted in all Latin America.
