Rare footage Red Dragon Thunderzord - Ryuseioh making of

[@hindsightpov4218]

The Red Dragon Zord is imho one of the best zords. It looked so cool in dragon form and it had one of the most clever transformations into humanoid form.

[@DakariKingMykan]

He's my DREAM zord... He looks like a handsome prince, and can ride the tigerzord like a steed!

[@KairuHakubi]

though it did cheat pretty hard hehe

[@thomasbrown8086]

My favorite zord that transforms into the coolest megazord

[@peacegaming9428]

Ngl, that's why dairanger was peak

[@ryanhernandez5632]

Imagine working on these sets back then. Almost 30 years later this show and these scenes are beloved by generations of fans young and old. And by looking at these few moments of bts footage you already feel the soul/heart that was put into making it

i don't envy the guys in the costumes. heard it gets hot inside them.

[@Vestat1]

Figures/ models will ALWAYS be better than CGI. It just makes it feel tangible and more believable than modern shit. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonyboodram608]

Wow! Great find. You don’t usually see behind the scenes stuff like this. It’s amazing just how much effort goes into these practical effects. It’s really admirable and I find it more convincing that what you typically see in movies nowadays which just use all CGI. Even in newer Sentai series that use more CGI there is still a heavy use of costumes, models, props, miniatures and makeup.

[@Milunium]

Yeah, you're right. Indeed in the past they put their very hard work on making these thing, just for footage with about less than 10 seconds lenght... these are masterpieces.

[@AkuTenshiiZero]

God I love the way they used to make these. There is something about classic pre-digital era tokusatsu that just hits completely different. Something about the color and the texture of the video quality, modern Super Sentai just doesn't feel the same.

[@SwitchZetto]

Practical effects + shot on film

[@gmcubed]

@@SwitchZetto I could be wrong, but I don't believe they ever shot on film, if it were, it would be able to be restored in way higher quality (1080p, 4k even) but this wasn't a theatrical release, they weren't shooting this stuff on film, it was straight to tape since it was the more affordable option.

[@SwitchZetto]

@@gmcubed They definitely were film, you could even notice the grain + lights don't leave artifacts in the image. Toei just can't bother to remaster them all or most likely just lost the negatives. That being said, behind the scenes were 100% shot on tape

[@snin3202]

Yeah.. all The moderns felt too plastic and less realistic. :/

[@spiderphoenix8270]

At first I thought RyuseiOh used strings like a puppeteer but turns out it's just to hold the prop.

[@Hieillua]

Its amazing how much effort the Japanese production crew put into the Super Sentai series and then came the American Saban company to copy paste it while trying to keep costs low and even fucked their own actors for it.

[@slaiyfershin]

omg radio control for the toys? Finally I find out the secret!

[@ManOfSdeel]

Practical effects will always have a place, thanks for the upload!

[@VincentTrang-f5e]

The production value for a kids show is insane

[@DiggitySlice]

Those explosion effects are sick

[@shibumi8]

Awesome find! I really wish they would put out an official making of video of all the past years.

[@akatsukimercenary]

Dairanger and Gaoranger had some of the best Mecha out there.

[@Milunium]

That's true!

[@veemon9280]

Wow that is some passionate movie making!

[@Milunium]

True

[@Mikael2492]

I love TV Props better than CGI this day. The first time Sentai used CGI for Mecha Combination was from Go Go V Victory Mars then became worse at Lupin Vs Pat although the series was good.

[@Tubewings]

This is probably from the theatrical movie, as Ryuseioh only fought giant Purse Priest there.

[@ZZtheDark]

I might think Ryuseioh's fight with Key Jester might have been for a stage show while his fight with Pursehead...never happened.

[@WhiteEcoFreak]

Wasn't it not in the movie /special episode?

[@digi_edits]

I love Dairanger so much. This is truly a great video. Thanks for sharing ^^

[@chuumon95]

Imagine if they made a toy version of the Red Dragon Thunderzord in that size. With electronic features and being to transform into it’s battle mode and the assualt team to go with it to make the Thunder Megazord. Who wouldn’t want that?

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

What about the Mega Thunderzord formation as well as the Mega Thunder TigerZord formation?

[@markbaldonado4706]

That was so cool!

[@Incrediblejeff]

I love seeing footage like this.

[@ヒポ-c4u]

吊るされてバタバタしてるとこ、なんかかわいいな

[@ReviveGuyv]

I had no idea they used radio controls! I thought it was all puppeteering by hand, like with rods and strings! Sentai mecha model work is such a mystery to me. My next question is, how do they build them? Do they mold and cast resin? Are there metal armatures?

[@alexparker1658]

So awesome!

[@cxyyoutube5270]

I wonder what the Chinese will react to the Dragon Thunderzord

[@joeguevara7334]

As well as to the other Thunderzords as well.

[@thealmightyfalcon1359]

Makes me wonder if the key monster was supposed to have a giant fight. It would make sense given he was an early monster before the other ones were found and combined if i remember correctly. Perhaps the same for the purse monster? Wouldnt be the only time Dairanger cut out a mecha fight, going off of magazine pictures I saw. But I think other magazine pictures might have just been promotional pictures.

how did they get the fireworks into the bad guys ??????

They put some remote devices on a costume, when needed, they pressed a button and devices got spark looked like firework, it took a good timing. Nowaday no more sonething like that, just CGI.

I always thought the Zord battle scenes were awesome as a kid but now as an adult it just looks so cheesy because the buildings and zords were basically toy models. But I actually perfer this over CGI nowadays because it looked more authentic.
