Trivia:

Upon the success of his film Guyver (1991) (adapted from Yoshiki Takaya's successful manga and anime series), Steve Wang, a longtime fan of Japanese superheroes (especially Ultraman), was approached to helm this series, but turned it down after Tsuburaya Productions disapproved of the many radical changes he wanted to make to the Ultraman character.
