- Cult Classic: Specifically in Japan, where the show still gets rebroadcasted to this day on television networks. Gentaro's actor Shoji Ishibashi even recorded a video message to fans celebrating the show's 50th anniversary in 2022.
- Harsher in Hindsight: While any show about combating terrorists is harder to watch post-9/11, this show's Phantom Militia holds special mention since its members are clad in keffiyahs like a stereotypical Middle Eastern.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Gentaro's Iron Belt, despite lacking a blade, provides the same overall functions as the Ivy Blade. What makes this even more hilarious is that when a certain Evil Ex did a Shout-Out to Ivy's signature weapon, she used a literal belt made of metal!
- It would be several decades before we would see another cowboy-themed tokusatsu hero in the form of NinjaBlack
- Suspiciously Similar Song: The OP sounds like an upbeat version of the original Kamen Rider's OP. It's also sung by the same singer as well, Masato Shimon.
