Basically, they took all the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers footage and added "more special effects" that look like they were done in Power Point. Screen flips, star wipes, names flashing across the screen redundantly, etc.

He's not even embellishing.

Had no idea there was a "Full Version" to the theme.

The show has a rich musical history. Or something rather.

This merits a "new" series?

Basically, Disney didn't want to blow money on producing a whole 'nother season, so they instead doctored up the first season (which was "everyone's favorite") and showed that in their obligatory Power Rangers timeslot.

Now that the rights to produce Power Rangers have been picked back up by somebody who actually gives a shit, the show's alive again.

This was after Power Rangers RPM was absolutely incredible, but crippled by an incredibly ass balls timeslot--again, a matter of the people owning it not giving quite as much of a damn as the people writing for it.

Full Version of all 5 songs played during the putty battles(when they did play).

Check out "Fight Back" as well. A recent 'fight track' by the same dude. It's awesome.

"I heard. Actually about 100 people emailed me since yesterday.

I have no idea if/when Saban will contact me. It'll be interesting to see what he has planned.

Have a great day. If I hear anything I'll email everyone!

Ron"

...Though we can't call their Sentai counterparts 'rangers' but you get me. Fucking awesome.

When Kimberly left the show they did a short montage for Amy Jo:

Hilarious, you're right btw, Ron Wasserman's "Fight Back" is awesome.

Magic Wand,

Make this thread grow!!!!!!!!!

Least shocking news ever. The original Blue Power Ranger is gay.

Also he said he left the show because of gay insults directed at him by the Cast and crew.

Thanks.

Yea I read that and then the next day I read a interview where they finally got ahold of Haim Saban where they said the reason he left was because they had a deal going on where St.John, Johnson and Him were going to get a bonus for sticking with the show. At the last second Johnson and St John pulled out and left and they felt there was no reason to give Billy his bonus anymore. He was pissed and left...

Dont really care which story was true...just found both stories interesting.

Whatever the new season is, doesn't really excite me. I just want the original episodes and I'll be fine, I may already have every episode from MMPR S1 - SPD but dvds would be so much better.

"A new generation of Power Rangers must master the mystical and ancient Samurai Symbols of Power which give them control over the elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest, and Earth. Under the guidance of their all-knowing mentor and the aid of their devoted animal Zords, they battle the dark forces of the Netherworld and a mysterious Warrior bent on destruction."

Looks shit

Yeah. Fucking awesome.

So, is a change in thread topic appropriate? Maybe something like Power Rangers Un-cancelled?

"These may look like five ordinary teens", but they are actually 20 to 30 years old.

If any of the mods care enough they could change it to "Power Rangers (Un)Canceled".

You bet we care enough.

Ye, well, aren't Power Rangers supposed to look shit?

I always thought that was the charm.

Who are you asking..? Nobody seemed to object. Or is it a rhetorical?

Forgot to quote Juan's post.

Love the Jason David Frank videos where he calls out Austin St. John.

Oh.

Yeah, I don't think Austin wants to compete in any form these days. Would have been interesting in both their (mainstream) primes. An onscreen rivalry between Tommy and Jason was something the writers should have jumped on.

Holy shit Amy Jo Johnson is 40.

Power Rangers was 20 years ago. Fuck. I still remember the first promos for MMPR.

We demand Bulk and Skull to be in this series in some form! Make it happen Nick or pay the price of nobody watching!

And looking damn good for her age.

You could say that again.

Indeed.

Some of the dialogue feels really awkward and forced, but it's well shot and pretty fun.

I think PR peaked at Lost Galaxy, at least for me it did. I lost interest after that. Magna Defender was the shiznit.

I stopped watching at that point. It was years later I found out it was rather mature and had a badass ending.

I rewatched a couple of years ago and gave up after Power Rangers in Space. Thought the ending kicked ass and didn't want to be disappointed.

Yeah In Space had an epic ending. Could have ended the franchise on that note.

I continued watching from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers(S1) all the to Time Force, then I stopped watching it all together. It wasn't until Dino Thunder started that I decided to what again(mostly because JDF came back) and ended up getting into it all over again causing me to get every episode from every season, and it's good to know that Bulk is back for this season. To this day the only seasons I don't have have and never watched are Operation Overdrive(sans the Once A Ranger episode with Adam,Tori,Bridge,Sander and Kira) Jungle Fury and RPM.

I thought it was over after that at first, then they had the preview for LG.

Overall I'll to have an epic DVD recap of the entire mythology. Licensing and such make that improbable now, but a collection will surface eventually. Then the marathon begins.

Or for kids and we were kids when it first aired. So, we are allowed to watch it using the "nostalgia clause." Though 2 of the 5 original rangers are gay, so yeah maybe you're right.

Well Power Rangers brought us these lovely ladies:

Mighty Morphin, Xeo, Turbo and In Space are connected though. I haven't watched anything past that because it had a logical and fitting end.

Zeo

/grammar police

Miss the days when series were connected. But team-ups were possible with entirely different teams.

Trade-offs.

Someone help me understand how this is appealing to adults. I've watched power rangers. It doesn't seem like one of those shows that is made for kids, but can still be enjoyed by adults. It seems tailor made, exclusively for kids.

Can't help you there, mate.

Theme Song:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ha6TGQfWjKA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, Bulk is back. But not Skull.

Spike is Skull's son.

OH FUCK AWESOME

...I'M OLD

Why can't you help me there?

I honestly don't know what to tell you. I suppose I could explain why I keep up with the show, but that may not be why Dark-Slicer or anybody else is interested.

I watch them because for some reason I find still find it entertaining. That and it's funny seeing how corny most of it is.

I enjoy the Japanese aesthetics, presentation, and the camp.

WTF Bulk is back?! This changes everything! They just need to convince Skull to come back.

Fringe is geting so good right now Kalyx

I bet.

Just started watching Fringe. Awesome show.

So this rangers show debuted two days ago? Why is it not on Hulu?

No idea, it is on Youtube though.

idk, aren't there deals for that sort of thing? Not familiar with Hulu.

This thread should be canceled

Guess the video was taken down the second I tried to embed it here lol.

Yeah that seemed strange.

And I think I hate the yellow ranger.

The Pink Ranger looks identical to the Power Ranger in Space girl.

The only episodes I actually remember are that pig that tried to eat everything and the Power Rangers being turned into card board. Also something about the Green Ranger being evil then turning good only to lose his powers.

Yeah Rita gave his powers AIDS.

What else can be done with the original Power Rangers theme? How about having a J-Rock do a cover of the movie version - but in the best English he can muster?

This is awesome.

In honor of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers streaming Netflix (all 177 episodes), here's a surreal event that took place at a license conference recently:

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9951qxLaFJU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I just added the first 4 seasons to my instant queue

Damn, stupid Netflix Canada doesn't have any. :(

HOLY SHIT!

Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, and now Power Rangers? Netflix has teleported me back to the mid 90s.

:heart: Ninjor

We log on netflix every morning at work and talk about the new shit added...

I almost had a heart attack when I saw Power Rangers on there...and it just so happens to be the week I had to get Netflix and Net turned off at the house.

Ive been watching them at work on my lunch break on a friends account. Just finished the green ranger saga today.

On a side note...they also added The Beetleborgs and VR Troopers....

VR Troopers. Wow.

Amy Jo Johnson was perfect.

This Just In:

Alien Ranger arc (end of season 3), Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, and Time Force are ready for streaming. I'm booked for the foreseeable future.

If Saban nabbed the Disney seasons, which seems likely, I'm set. Love Netflix.

Hopefully since they're on Netflix(US anyway, not for me), DVD/Blu-Ray Season Sets aren't too far of a stretch.

I hope. I will have an entire shelf of PR. And I'm sure there's tons of behind the scenes stuff that can be added. Many of the actors seem appreciative enough to be involved, too.

My life is over.

So dumb question maybe, but some of the more obsessive PR fans might know.

I've been wactching the series on Netflix, which this thread is partially responsible for, and I'm wondering: Did they change some of the music? The Mixes for some of the songs sound "wrong" compared to when I first heard them. Most notably is whatever the name of the song is that goes "We will come running to your side//we will protect you from your fright" Or whatever.

I'm listening after like 20 years, and on different equipment, so maybe I'm remembering shit wrong. On the other hand, I know the DVD release for Teknoman (Which Saban was behind) is missing the English intro, instead using the Tekkaman Blade intro "Reason."

So it doesn't seem impossible they edited the property.

There were some scenes where I felt like they were missing the fight tracks altogether, as well as some audio oddities you mentioned. Thing is, I'm watching some of these episodes after well over a decade on way updated media equipment.

I could do a direct comparison with the PR music I have, but let's not get any sadder than this reply...

At the very least, I'm not the only one hearing it.

On an unrelated note, was Tommy being made leader of the Power Rangers due to the problems with the three actors who would soon leave?

I only really noticed this because I'm watching the eps back to back, but one minute, Zordon is all "Jason, you are a good leader." "Good Job, Jasons!@" And the next, Zordon's springing the news of a new Ranger who will lead them on the group, and I'm thinking, "Wow, Zordon's a dick."

But even then, it's not long before Adam, Chimpface, and Ayisha get introduced, they feature Jason, Trini and Zack less, and we start seeing bad ADR that sound nothing like them to hide it.

(Yeah, I didn't like Chimpface. Adam was the only replacement I really felt positive for, but Chimpface annoyed me).
