Trivia / Power Rangers Dino Charge

Go To

  • Acting for Two:
    • Wrench and Curio are both voiced by Estevez Gillespie.
    • Ivan and his descendant Zach are both portrayed by Davi Santos.
  • Cast the Runner-Up: Brennan Mejia auditioned for the roles of Chase and Riley before being cast as Tyler.
  • Creator Backlash:
    • Michael Taber (Riley) said at a convention in 2017 that while he appreciated the opportunities this show gave him, he discovered that he would rather be behind the camera instead. Conflictingly, in a now deleted Tweet (which Taber admitted to writing while drunk) from just before that convention appearance, he called his time with the show "horrible".
    • Camille Hyde (Shelby) seems to have completely distanced herself from the show, deleting anything Power Rangers related from her social media accounts and not showing up for Power Morphicon 2018 with no explanation even though she was announced months ahead of the event to be attending.
    • With that being said, they were apparently willing to do a voiced Role Reprise for the team up with Power Rangers Beast Morphers, according to Brennan Meija in his react video, even though they didn’t film anything on camera with everyone else.
  • Dawson Casting: Although Riley is the youngest of the Rangers at 17, his actor Michael Taber was 20 years old at the start and 22 by Super Charge, which as a result meant he looked roughly the same age as the others.
  • Development Gag: All the references to New Zealand... which is where this was filmed. (Particularly noticeable is when Chase, who is from NZ, mentions that a certain piece of scenery is "just like home.")
  • Irony as She Is Cast: Brennan Mejia, who plays Tyler the Red Ranger, is red-green colourblind.
  • Not His Sled: Tyler's father being the Aqua Ranger instead of Silver like his Kyoryuger counterpart.
  • Out of Order: "The Ghostest with the Mostest", since it featured a Zord (the Pachy Zord) that wasn't officially obtained by the Rangers until the following episode, "Rise of a Ranger" (chalk this one up to Executive Meddling, since it was a Halloween Clip Show that was meant by the creative team to air closer to Halloween itself).
    • The Christmas Episode "Race to Rescue Christmas" has a background shot of the Purple Energem in storage in the Rangers' base. Kinda jarring since it aired in between the two episodes that essentially served as the first season finale - during which said Energem is stolen by Sledge and his minions. Besides, the episode is really hard to fit into the continuity (if it's not outright out of it), since Chase is ready to return to New Zealand in this episode... Just as he was in "One More Energem", which came after.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Aside from Yoshi above, there's Michael Taber (Green Ranger) — he's a longtime fan of Power Rangers and even went as Magna Defender for Halloween as a child!
  • Prop Recycling:
    • Several of the monsters in Sledge´s prison appeared somewhere in the past seasons. One of the most obvious is Necrolai from Power Rangers Mystic Force in Wishing For a Hero as she is visible all the while Heckyl clashes with Sledge, and the last of the prisoners trying to escape to be thrown back in her cell. Necrolai also appeared in the episodes One More Energem, When Evil Stirs, Forgive and Forget and Forged Under Fire.
    • Beevil, a minor character from Power Rangers Ninja Storm appears in the episodes Wishing For a Hero and When Evil Stirs as a prisoner. However, the monster in the cell only has the head and upper body of Beevil, it has the wings of Broodwing from Power Rangers S.P.D. and wears a red dress.
    • A prisoner in a cloak has the head of an unused monster from Power Rangers S.P.D.. He is seen in the episodes The Ghostest With the Mostest and No Matter How You Slice It.
    • A prisoner with the head of Behemoth from Power Rangers Mystic Force and the body of Fortress (a robot Wrench would later create) appears in When Logic Fails and The Royal Rangers.
    • The retreating monster Heckyl kills in When Evil Stirs has the head of Dumbbell Bot from RPM.
  • Real-Life Relative:
    • In the Latin American Spanish dub, all of José Luis Orozco's children have major roles. Luis Fernando voices Chase the Black Ranger, Andrea voices Shelby the Pink Ranger and Alejandro voices Sir Ivan the Gold Ranger.
    • Jessica Ángeles, the Latin American Spanish voice actress for Kendall Morgan, is the niece of Koda's LA voice actor, Luis Daniel Ramírez.
  • Short Run in Peru: Brazil was getting the Supercharge episodes - and the spoilers contained therein - three weeks ahead of broadcast in the USA. In Australia, the episodes aired one week earlier.
  • Teasing Creator: Before the Aqua Ranger's official debut, scattered throughout the season were various minor characters with cyan motifsnote 
  • Tuckerization: "True Black" involves a boyband called the N-Zed Boys who, fittingly are from New Zealand - where the show is filmed.
  • What Could Have Been: Has its own section here.
  • Word of Saint Paul: In December 2020, Michael Taber would reveal that not only did he interpret and play Riley as gay but that he also had a crush on Chase.
  • Younger Than They Look: Claire Blackwelder, who plays mentor and Team Mom Kendall, is actually the third youngest cast member.
