Hurricanger ?

[JPI]

You know, after watching the Samurai on PR this week, I was
wondering if there were ANY similarities between the PR version and
Hurricanger. I know the GSR was intro'd as a mystery and a master
of disguise for a few episodes, I was also wondering who he was and
what was his connection with the other Hurrcangers?

Best thing you can do is go read jill's summeries. Needless to say they
screwed him in PR. He is not a Samurai and calling him that is fucked.

I agree,Shurikenger is a lot better character than PRNS's version.Also having
the past sentai actors play possible alter egos for Shuri was a very nice
touch.

I enjoyed it, mostly because it shows that PR can use Sentai and be
creative to how its applied to the show. Honestly I would have like
to have something similar to Hurricanger, but Jason Chan's
character needed something like this, he's one of the better actors
and fighters in the show.

Unfortunately at this time I've only seen PRNS 1-4. So I can't
compare the episodes for you. Much of the information you may be
seeking can be found at this url:

IMO PR does not use Sentai it rips it off. And PR is anything but creative.
Creative would be coming up with a totaly original show.

Quick question then. What would YOU have called him?

Bear in mind, they've already had the neuter the "Gyro Shurikens",
which is a sure sign that references to throwing stars are on their
"no can do" list. (Probably down to ABC's BS&P)

It is irritating, true. But (unfortunately) what is acceptable in
Japan and in America does tend to differ. And there are always going
to be times when the Sentai source material would be far too
questionably for the "Kids TV Higher-Ups" to allow - despite the fact
that Sentai fans and older PR-fans would probably appreciate it more.
Hell, so would the kids! Bloody TV execs never give them enough
credit.

So what about Cam do you not like?

There's also the simple fact that the switch from US to NZ for filming
would mean it would be impossible to do that on a budget. You'd end up
having to track down several former Ranger actors, probably have to
pay them extra for a guesting spot, AND fly them over to NZ. Too much.

Arguably, I'd have preferred someone else to end up as GSR and have
Cam stay in Ninja Ops. They have a believable tech-geek character, and
he was doing as much good behind a computer as the others were on the
field. And when he starts feeling insecure in his role, he suddenly
becomes a Ranger. I guess the geek in me would rather he stayed a
techie, BUT was able to discover that he had just as much true worth
as the others without being a Ranger.

Still...
