Since I?ve been doing reviews of VS movies for the last few months, and I?ve found out some interesting facts about some of the last few, I thought I?d share them here.

Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters

The idea of the three Dinosaur Sentai teaming up was suggested for the summer movie, but was moved to the VS movie because they wouldn?t have time to tell such a story in 30 minutes.

The Kyoryuger?s being brainwashed into dinosaur hunters was so that they would stand out on the movie poster, according to producer Ohmori.

The ToQgers? cameo was originally meant to be filmed with the involvement of ToQger?s crew, but Sakamoto went ahead and filmed it himself in advance.

Instead of Neo-Grifforzer, the film would?ve had a daughter of Witch Bandora as one of its villains.

ToQger vs Kyoryuger

The reason that the two casts barely interact is because of the Kyoryuger cast, only Ryo Ryusei (Daigo) was available for the whole shoot.

The Ninninger cameo was shot one month in advance and was rewritten by that show?s director Shojiro Nakazawa to match their characterisation in Kento Shimoyama?s scripts, since none of their episodes had entered production.

The appearance of Deboss?s creator was suggested by Takaaki Utsunomiya, whereas Ohmori was against the character appearing in anything.

Zyuohger vs Ninninger

According to Gaku Matsumoto (Yakumo/AoNinger), since the previous Sentai crossovers that were produced during the anniversary works didn't have a crossover with the previous team, some of the cast members expected that Zyuohger VS Ninninger would be Zyuohger VS Super Sentai.

Lupinranger vs Patranger vs Kyuranger

An interview in 2019 with Junko Komura stated that, since LupPat VS Kyu was written by Naruhisa Arakawa, that movie was the first time Naruhisa Arakawa had written a work featuring Noel/Lupin X/Patren X, who appeared after the former left the show after episode 19.

LupPat VS Kyuranger's director Hiroyuki Kato admitted that he never establish a definite timeline for the movie, because the end of LupPat hadn't been decided during the filming.

An interview with the staff of LupPat VS Kyuranger stated that Kato thought of a backstory where Don Arkage wasn't Don Armage's replacement, but a separate character created by Dr Anton to look exactly like Don Armage.

Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger vs Lupinranger vs Patranger

It was impossible to have the three Reds together in one scene because of scheduling conflicts, and since Lucky worked with Keiichiro in LupPat VS Kyu, it was Bamba, who felt like another team's leader, who worked with Keiichiro, while Koh worked with Kairi. Melto was paired with Noel to handle the "smart talk", and Asuna was also partnered with Melto and Noel due to scheduling conflicts. Canalo was paired with Tsukasa, a female character, again, for scheduling reasons, and his preference. The visit to Touma's restaurant was used to subtly show the current relationship between the Lupinrangers and the Patrangers.

Upon hearing that the feature would end in a Pretty Cure collaboration, Junko Komura inserted Cure Grace?s catchphrase ?I feel so alive? (生きてるってカンジ！ Ikiteru tte kanji!?) into the script.
