Trivia
- While Godzilla Island features multiple Jet Jaguar units, the only time that multiple Jet Jaguars are seen together occurs in episode 125, where Medical Jet Jaguar is seen standing next to Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar.
- Medical Jet Jaguar has received multiple figures, with the first not being made until a decade after Godzilla Island ceased airing. The first was part of Bandai's Movie Monster Series which was sold exclusively through the magazine Hyper Hobby in 2007, while two others were released by Mondo in 2022, and Super7 in 2023.
- In a 2024 podcast interview, author Johnny Parker II revealed that he had wanted to include Medical Jet Jaguar in Godzilla Rivals: Mothra Vs. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. as a piloted mecha. The concept, however, was turned down by Toho, resulting in the inclusion of the traditional Jet Jaguar instead.[1]
