Ultraforce #1 brought an unprecedented production value to Channel 101, dazzling the audience with spandex, lasers, vehicles and locations. By episode 3, Gourley and Carter became victims of their own quality, unable to keep up with the rigorous schedule and relatively high budget (some episodes had a budget of up to 500 dollars). #3 is a tear-jerking finale, and Ultraforce will forever stand as a home video hero.
