Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The samba theme was mandated by producer Shinichiro Shirakura who wanted Brazil's 2014 World Cup energy. The cast learned actual samba choreography.
Kyoryuger revitalized Super Sentai toy sales after a slump, with the 'Gaburivolver' gun becoming one of Bandai's best-selling changers ever—partly because kids could shoot their parents.
