Western/Foreign Influences in Super Sentai
Let's play a new game. Name as many Western or foreign influences in any Super Sentai Series.
I'll start with these: Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Batman (1966 TV series) Denji Sentai Megaranger The Last Starfighter Sliders KyuuKyuu Sentai GoGoFive 1970s disaster movies Mirai Sentai Timeranger Timecop Demolition Man The Matrix Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger Men in Black Alien Nation RoboCop Judge Dredd Mission: Impossible II and John Woo films Die Hard with a Vengeance Fight Club Mahou Sentai Magiranger Harry Potter series GoGo Sentai Boukenger MacGyver (?) Engine Sentai Go-onger Cars Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Kick-Ass The Truman Show |
Gokaiger - Pirates, obviously.
Goseiger - Everything Awesome in the World |
The Morphin Brace in Go-Busters certainly seems like a Western influence.
Magiranger came out at the height of the Harry Potter phenomena but that wasn't entirely limited to the West. |

Robocop referances like the cyber dog named Murphy and the way DekaRobo spins his gun on his finger then holsters it in his side left. |

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger
Kakuranger has a pinch of Adam West & Burt Ward Batman influence in it during some fight scenes (note the onomatopoeia effects when they fight) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0oRKh0DsTQ |
This is a bit of a stretch, but I'm seeing a little bit of The Truman Show in Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger.
|
Magiranger is actually full of Engrish and other Western things. For example, there's that guy in the pilot who stands up and awkwardly says "bravo" to Kai in perfect English. And in that same scene, Kai lets out something of a Tarzan yell while swinging on a string of lights.

Go-onger 's Engines remind me of the movie Cars
