Trivia:

After this series completed production, Tsuburaya Productions had planned to do another overseas Ultra Series in Hong Kong, but the plans were nixed after the failure of this series (especially in Tsuburaya's failure to find a distributor in the US, where, ironically, this series was produced), and also the financial headache of paying US union fees. Eventually, in 1996, they have since stuck to domestic productions, starting with "Urutoraman Tiga" (1996), their first homegrown Ultra Series in 16 years.
