Power Rangers Rescue Force

***Power Rangers Rescue Force*** is the 1st season of INTV's version of **Power Rangers**.

## Production

PRRF is the pet project of Jay Walker, Cole Drexler, and Joe Drexler. Walker and Haim Saban where having a conversation during an interview between the two. Walker said that he would like to work with Saban to not only work with the Power Rangers series but also to revive Masked Rider. Saban declined, however he said that if he is able to create his own successful Ranger series funded partially by Saban, 6U Studios, and INTV Productions, he will allow him to produce later ranger series. Rescue Force was a sleeper hit and was a more serious and more loyal version of the series. Getting more viewership then Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, and Saban held up his end of the bargain. However,  Walker made a deal with Saban that he can create four more shows funded by Toei and INTV productions.

## Notes

* PRRF is the pet project of Jay Walker, Cole Drexler, and Joe Drexler. Walker and Haim Saban where having a conversation during an interview between the two. Walker said that he would like to work with Saban to not only work with the Power Rangers series but also to revive Masked Rider. Saban declined, however he said that if he is able to create his own successful Ranger series funded partially by Saban and INTV Productions, he will allow him to produce later ranger series. Rescue Force was a sleeper hit and was a more serious and more loyal version of the series. Getting more viewership then Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, and Saban held up his end of the bargain. However,  Walker made a deal with Saban that he can create four more shows funded by Toei and INTV productions.
* The success of Rescue Force also led to Toei giving INTV the rights to Kamen Rider in America, allowing Walker to reintroduce Kamen Rider to American audiences with Kamen Rider Cyber, an adaptation of 2006’s Kamen Rider Kabuto.
* Rescue Force is the first season since RPM to not have a super season, having a total of 41 episodes from 2016 - 2017.
* Rescue Force was also the start of a larger universe, that including a total of 6 confirmed universes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and X.
* Rescue Force was also the 3rd Power Rangers series to have a Ranger death, the others being the death of Kendrix in Lost Galaxy and Jem and Jemma from RPM. This is also the second pink ranger death. The death of Jane wasn’t the original idea, but after she got the role for another project, this was the most impactful way to end her character as having a fan favorite not involved in the next season would be a bad idea. She would later return during the Berserk saga in Cosmic Squadron. The other two rangers Liz and Langston were two rangers that weren’t coming back due to both actors working on other projects.
* Even though the death suffered backlash from fans, it earn much more respect from fans as well. Showing that the show can and will take risk.
* Jay Walker wasn’t originally going to play Ray Jordan, it was actually an actor named Preston Joyce, but Quinn had a movie role during production. However, Joyce would eventually get the role for another INTV Toku Kamen Rider Slayer where he would play Blake Lynch.
* Some of the monsters in Rescue Force are original, but others are modernized versions of past sentai monsters that came before Zyuranger such as Changeman, Bioman, and others.
* Rescue Force has a Japanese dub in Japan. Another fun fact is that Hurricane Blue voices Liz and MagiYellow/Beet Buster voices Tony
