V.R. Troopers

VR Troopers was 1 of many cashing in projects by the Saban & Levi money factory. The stars of this show fought a slightly more realistic but still, far too melodramatic battle against some of the most extravagant cardboard boxes ever made.

Of course, not just the enemies were made of cardboard, true to the success-formula of power rangers, fortresses, vehicles and anything else you can't find anywhere else in the human world were made for a few nickles, and merchandised for thousands and thousands of dollars.

So my conclusion is pretty much my title, because even though it was lame... it wasn't as lame as the Power Rangers.

This was a somewhat interesting show. It had an original premise and an interesting group of characters. Granted, the show seemed like a rip off of any of those Power Rangers shows, but the show quickly established an identity for itself. It's a shame it was cancelled after only a couple seasons or so, it was just getting very interesting.

I'm rediscovering this show and just watched some videos of the two main dudes who are still funny as hell and overall awesome, happy to see them still doing interviews together.

Evidently this was made to sell toys and for a Power Rangers clone it was a great watch for kids. The only thing I remember baffled me even at age 5 is how badly the dog's speech was executed.

Regardless, good stuff, creative visuals, fun enemies and epic practical fight scenes, good humor, really solid for a mid-90s thing aimed at kids. I don't get why some people are overly critical now just because like most things, it doesn't hold up over 20 years later.

It was a fun watch.

As with most things featuring a young girl just for her looks she's probably still the most searched cast member but trust me, you don't need her drama in your life. Look up the dudes instead, they're still awesome and with a great sense of humor.

There is something interesting about it: If anyone here Knows the Japanese Metal Hero shows, then you know the three shows involved.

First season: Jiku Senshi Spielvan (Dimensional Warrior Spielvan), Choujinki Metalder (Super Man Machine Metalder).

Second Season: Jiku Senshi Spielvan (Dimensional Warrior Spielvan), Uchuu Keiji Shaider (Space Sheriff Shaider)

The Interesting Part: On the first season, They used Metalder battle scenes for when Ryan Steele fights. On the Second Season, they turn back the clock and use Shaider scenes for Ryan Steele battle sequences.

Oh well, I just want to point out something.

You know everything is really strange even when you look back on it. It always seems when there is a popular movie or TV Show just around the corner there is something trying to cash in on it success.

Even as a kid I felt that V.R.Troopers were more or less a copy cat of the already popular Mighty Morphin Power Rangers which I was a huge fan of.

But as a kid of the 90s I have to say there were endless shows that you could get hooked on it's just that Mighty Moprhin Power Rangers won me over because it had more to offer to me and it had my interest more than this series did.

It just hard to even consider this show to be on the same network let alone the same level as the Power Rangers were. This show was doom from the moment it aired I mean I try to watch the show I really did and there was only one episode that I purely remember the movie and a few other episodes that were shades of gray in terms of memory

Also the characters just didn't stick out to me sure they might have had their interest to viewers but V.R.Troopers really had nothing to offer that much it was just more or less a cash in on Power Rangers.

Only watch it if you're curious otherwise it is not worth your time
