He also voiced General Ivar in VR Troopers and, comparing thier voices, they're virtually the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451627400431725002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-43871366202973535202020-02-07T17:37:59.032-06:002020-02-07T17:37:59.032-06:00I realised something a little while ago?

It's the same shot they used when he said hi final words "now you've sealed your fate!" but played in reverse to have him fall into a croutch instead of getting up from one,l shortened so we don't see him lying on his face, and has the shitty energy slashes superimposed in. If your wondering why they didn't use his Dairanger death, there are two reasons;<br />1. He was not killed in the Zord fight this steals from. He grew using the energies of Hell itself and shrunk down into his mini-Japanese man form when the gates were resealed by the unmorphed Dairangers.<br />Considering the next Sentai season, Toei loves Hell and magical gateways don't they?<br />2. His actual Dairanger death involved him being stabbed by A KNIFE by the unmorphed Red Dairanger. Nothing about his demise was usable so this was made instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451627400431725002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-29417759004395649122020-02-07T17:34:12.227-06:002020-02-07T17:34:12.227-06:00Considering the fact that the shot of the monster ...Considering the fact that the shot of the monster being hit by simple energy slashes looks horrendous, I'm glad they didn't.

I bring it up because there's an episode where they find the last surviving turkey and decide to fatten it up for thanksgiving. Only the feed corn is irradiated and the turkey grows to kaiju-size. But just when they think all hope is lost, they're saved because it starts raining. And turkeys being very stupid, the giant turkey looks up with its mouth open and promptly drowns.<br /><br />I'm just saying: I think we could redeem this episode if the final battle had been Turkeyjerk being defeated by rain.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703211229982182936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-88401817696699430022016-08-14T19:30:46.151-05:002016-08-14T19:30:46.151-05:00Here's another bit of trivia: the Snow Monster...Here's another bit of trivia: the Snow Monster, along with Stag Beetle, Eye Guy and a couple of Beetleborgs monsters made a cameo in National Lampoon's Men in White.Kalosian Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354505003826476978noreply@blogger.com
