Kind of funny since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Gladiators Australia both aired on Channel 7 in the mid nineties, not to mention that the movie was filmed in Australia too.
So Neil Waldron is usually kneeling on the travelator with 2 rope holders but this episode there is a cameraman and a substitute for Neil (who is substituting for John Forsyth) but no rope holders.
Kathy: "That felt a lot longer than 45 seconds" Maybe because it was 60 seconds! Powerball changed from 45 seconds in Series 1 to 60 seconds in The Ashes, but I think they forgot to tell Kathy that.
I don't know if Kimberley was joking when she said Predator wasn't allowed to play Whiplash. Possibly his disqualification continued because he only missed 10 seconds of Powerball. But if Predator was meant to play Whiplash then Vulcan would be on Pyramid, which is a game he never plays, in order for all the gladiators to play a game. Hmmm...
I noticed that in this heat and Heat 8, John Forsyth was absent (probably due to a virus), so it's very likely they were shot in the same day. Also, Hammer was absent from the other heats (1, 3-7).
They’d do two episodes a day. If you recall in series 3 mike was sick for one day and John stepped in. When I was in the audience they had two showings one around middday and one in the evening
@@Tubewings Hammer real name Mark McGaw was still playing in the ARL he was playing for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Series 2 was taped in July 1995 in ARL season.
12:38 PREDATOR is RED CARDED for Continually Pushing The Challenger After Being Pushed Out Of Bounds! That means HAMMER & COMMANDO will be 1vs1 with The Challengers for the remaining time!
Whitney was such a bad ref. There were 14 seconds left when Predator pushed the blue challenger out of the arena. And Commando had the same challenger pinned earlier in the match. Is he blind or stupid or both?
@@patcrites5274 The point is, the foul occurred with 14 seconds left on the clock; the whistle was blown with 6 seconds left. It’s not about it being the right call or not. The problem is that it took him so long to stop the game. And he let Commando get away with pinning a challenger earlier in the match. Just a dumpster fire all the way around
@@drewconway7135 Well in my personal opinion the referee actually made the right calls in powerball when he DQ'ed against Predator, and with Comando he did not do anything wrong
@@drewconway7135 By the way even though there were 14 seconds left tin powerball the ref can still red card the gladiator & get disqualified no matter how much time was left
