This video might look familiar! We uploaded this about a month ago and due to some technical issues had to take it down and do some re-edits on it. It's up here for good now. Hope you enjoy!
Let us know if think there is a better Power Rangers episode than this one!
Thought so. For a minute tho I was like, ‘wait did i watch Captain Midnight do something on this or what?’
I dunno if it's "better".... but a take on the episode "Countdown to Destruction" would be dope!
Trivia note: This was originally supposed to be a 2 parter, but for budget reasons it was reduced to just 1, but many of the deleted scenes can be found on UA-cam.
I was having deja vu here, XDXD. Thank y'all for clearing that up!
A better episode is the series Big Bad Beetleborgs
Trivia note: This was originally supposed to be a 2 parter, but for budget reasons it was reduced to just 1, but many of the deleted scenes can be found on UA-cam.
I heard it was gonna be a 3 parter
Like the extended version of TJ trying to tell everyone about being baked into a pizza.
Everyone already walked away. But he's still going on about it..
God I love Selwyn Ward
@@UJEvans TOO THIS VERY DAY!!! LOL
Forgot even thinking what episode it could be I knew it was forever red
I didn't know it had deleted series and suppose to be 2 parts but I heard the reason the final battle was the it was a bike through a dragon is because they ran out of budget.
@@johnnymarrero8011 I heard it was going to be an entire season. My uncle worked at Saban and what's what he said. :P
RIP Jason David Frank. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
Still cannot believe he is gone.

11 year old me was in absolute shock at what I was watching. Those days without social media spoiling everything was just a blissful time to be alive.
fr. Peak entertainment I say so myself.
where you born in the 2000s?
This seems like it would’ve been a life changing cinematic mastery viewing
Yes, Forever Red is the perfect Power Rangers episode.
ALMOST, that end was trash. Hopefully Once and always can top it and actually be perfect. but i already feel like they gonna drop the ball with the weapons and explosions. I haven't seen one shot of them using Weapons in the fights.
@@JSmoothSoul can’t disagree with that statement as much as I love the episode
@@JSmoothSoul like he said in the video they ran out of money and when u take that into consideration I'm glad they decided to spend more on the suit fights than on the CGI for the ending.
It's great to see some appreciation for Koichi Sakamoto, the man is criminally underrated as an action director! He's one of the best in the business.
yet they still didn't get him to direct Once and Always. The guy from dimensions in danger is. He pulled off some very good Koichi inspired action but many parts felt unsatisfying. And he was just Stunt Director and will be again.
@@JSmoothSoul Koichi is too busy with Ultraman these days. He's bringing his Ultra-OC to our screens with Ultraman Regulos and will probably then go on to work on the next chapter of Ultra Galaxy Fight.
Thank god for the re-upload. I can once again bring this legendary episode in conversation again and now share this with more people by including this video as well :)
I know the actors never really got along. But Jason and Tommy's bromance was always 🔥
That’s unfortunate
But they still coexisted when needed, thats respectable.
@@Filterdeez it got worse as they got older. The only time they were together after Zeo was at the 2017 movie premiere. ASJ would cancel cons to not be in the same arena as JDF. Not sure if JDF did the same
@@JSmoothSoul yeah but recently(before JDF died) I heard they came to peace as much as they could. It's stupid how asj acted all these years, but can you blame him for feeling the way he did? Guy was front and center until JDF debuted and everyone kind of abandoned jason
@@Filterdeez Add to that ASJ revealed that Jason David Frank sold him out when the original power rangers actors had agreed to go on strike. While Austin, original black and yellow ranger held up their promise, Jason went behind their backs to cut a nicer deal with Saban while becoming the lead.
Jason knew that Austin revealed that detail and never denied it.
I saw the thumbnail and just knew what episode you was gonna talk about. Definitely by far the best episode of power rangers
This takes me back and feel old at the same time. But this is still an great video!
oh yeah bro this is 20 years old... lol i remember this like yesterday and it's funny cause i was already too old for Power Rangers and this season specifically made me feel that way because of how childish it was at times compared to Time Force which i loved at 13 and still do
Man it was so hype when I watched the opening and saw the freakin BeetleBorgs come back as Machine Empire Generals had me over the moon as a kid. I was so disappointed when it got cancelled, so seeing them come back (even if they weren't actually the BeetleBorgs). Not only was it the ultimate crossover for Power Rangers, but it was a crossover and farewell to the Beetleborgs had me so excited and emotional at the end.
💯
My absolute favorite episode ever, especially since they re-used costumes from Beetleborgs. Loved that show, and thought it was hilarious watching this episode.
This episode made me realize my dream job was to be a red ranger. 24 years old now and still working towards that goal
hell Russell Curry is the same age as ME 35 and be became Dino Fury Red.
@@JSmoothSoul oh I didn't mean playing the red ranger as an actor I meant I actually want to me a red spandex wearing super hero
That’s all of our dreams.
@@rubyrock555 just like kick ass 2 put it: the world doesn't need super heroes, just heroes since we don't have super villains, just villains.
As a lifelong tokusatsu fan, this is still the best Morphin' sequence ever.
i mean it could have been better if they filmed a new one for all 10 rangers.
You never watch any collab of super sentai? Their collab is way more better in term of story and transform, because collab with Kamen rider ensure the transforming always cool
@@antm9771 I said MORPHIN' sequence. Henshin sequences are different. I mean, Kamen Rider's got it down to a science. The one in the first Heisei Generations movie was sweet, and probably my favorite crossover sequence.
the funny thing is due to growing up in a third world country wild force was the first time we had a channel that was showing power rangers so when I first saw this episode I had no idea who the other 9 were and even I enjoyed the hell out of it.
It always cracked me up that we see the Big Bad Beetle Borgs as bad guys in the background of this episode. 😂
Such an underrated show 😂
Wild force was the first power rangers season i really followed and despite that I still felt the epicness of this episode seeing all these other red rangers
This episode was the best episode of my childhood, this was the Endgame for my 4 year old self 🤘
I still get hyped to this day ngl, the direction and fight choreography was just PERFECT
very too the point. it goes to show the writer was on his A game as well. Reinforcements from The Past is also the best 2 team cross over because of scene management and character focus as well as amazing action
Too bad endgame is garbage tho but I see your point. 👌
@@adrian_veidt that's why I don't thinks it's the perfect episode. Lost Galaxy has some near perfect episodes though. I also love Trial By Fire in Lightspeed Rescue
The best part of this episode was seeing the villains being portrayed by recycled Beetle Borgs/B Fighter suits.
I was half expecting a beetle borgs reference in there somewhere.
I was born in 2002. The Power Rangers Shows that I got to watch were:
Ninja Storm, SPD, RPM, Mystic Force, DIno Thunder, Jungle Fury, Samurai, Operation Overdrive.....
The vintage ones that I got to watch were: Time Force, Turbo (and it;s movies.
Ninja Storm, Spd and Dino Thunder will always have a special place in my heart.
After these, I think everything became saturated and the magic of being a PR show is now long lost. ATleast for me.
Yh i'm a Disney era fan - Dino Charge. i love S.P.D and Mystic Force easily my favourites. I haven't bothered watching the ones past Megaforce as to me it was a Satisfying Conclusion even though it adapted the senti storylines POORLY but the Reunion of "Once and Always" has me HYPE AF.
I loved seeing T.J in Turbo Red and Tommy in ZEO for forever red as those where my favourite designs lol they still Go HARD AF.
I first really learned the name Koichi Sakamoto during Kyoryuger that reignited my Rangers love after growing out of it. Theres a lot of really incredible camera and stunt work in those episodes that clips here reminded me of. Amazing to think that 10 years prior Saban let him go wild
Literally watched this episode yesterday and was wondering why i didn't remember the choreography and camera techniques being that good. Make sense now
Thought I was crazy when I noticed this video was missing. Glad to finally get the chance to watch it! Very well done.
I always loved the episode where Lord Zed traps them and makes them fight in a game or something. It felt like a Roman gladiator situation. I thought that was some very good acting and action in that episode
I knew it was Forever Red before I clicked. What an amazing episode
Yall had this up a couple weeks ago, thanks for putting it back up.
Forever Red is one of my favorite episodes of Power Rangers
Please, endgame is fare from being that good, especially when you look back on just everything leading up to it! Anyone else agrees, or I'm just blowing out hot air again? Wait a second, venjix?
This has to be the strongest community. Every day I'm finding new ranger posts and I love every second of it.
I watched Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin all the way up to Rangers in Space so never got to see this one. Watched it on UA-cam after watching this video and have to say I agree. This was the perfect episode of Power Rangers. Brought back so many good memories of running home from elementary school so I wouldn't miss Power Rangers. Good times.
I can't tell you how many times I watched this as a kid. Blew my 7 year old mind
Forever Red was so much better than it had to be 💯. Thank you for this!
To The Tenth Power will always be the best in my eyes.
Definetly up there, for me another episode that could be considered perfect is “Ranger Yellow” parts 1&2 from RPM, it literally could be an stand alone short film on it’s own
This was one of the best episodes because it’s a full reunion. All of the red ranger actors showed up. Every reunion we get since seems to have a few rangers in costume who never take a helmet off - because they couldn’t get every actor.
This is how great the episode is, I hadn't watched any series beforehand (I was born in 2002 funnily enough), but I had a HUGE love for this episode, you could feel the passion throughout the episode
It would have been cool if somehow all the red rangers could combine into an ultra red Zord.
I gotta say that even though everything did turn out GREAT for this episode, I never stopped thinking that they got lucky given the first 6 seasons are inter-connected with the same cast and the same teammates changed colors and could've come into conflict...
Arguably Tommy's Red Zeo is probably THE LEAST recognizeable era for him, yet they were able to make it work because they needed representation for Zeo too. Same goes for TJ in Turbo. Him as the Blue Space Ranger, because that season alone was very significant, they were able to work in his Red Turbo era.
I feel bad for Steve Cardenas (2nd Mighty Morphin Red) as I believe, from what I've read and seen, that the team wasn't able to reach him to be part of this episode in some capacity because he had changed his number or address...
Clicked on the Like button BEFORE I watched the video. 100 percent perfect episode.
R.I.P 🕊Jason David Frank🕊 Once A Ranger, Always a Ranger.
Not the introduction of Lord Zedd and the Thunder Zords?!? It was shown during “Primetime” in the 90s (at least in the Detroit area). It was a freaking event for me and my cousins. I still remember that beginning of summer night.
7:38 when they did basically the boom Studios comic as a special. When Tommy pulls out the master morph her out of nowhere! Allowing him to morph into all of the Rangers he’s been in the past.
That originated in the comics?
Another crossover I love is the To The Tenth Power / The Power of Pink crossover event during Lost Galaxy.
Even though this came out on vhs/dvd a little later, i remember begging my folks to pop in a blank tape to record this while i was at school (which is when it aired at the time unfortunately, very criminal) and though i was on the 11th hour of power ranger fatigue, it was sight to behold for sure. 10 years is a long, very long time for a kid and i almost didn't recognize Tommy and was so glad to see Jason (Austin) return.
man this was peak power rangers. such a good episode.
SPD had action like this in nearly every episode and RPM had far better acting and writing. So SPD is peak action and RPM is peak everything else. if you don't believe me watch the first morphed Fight in SPD and watch the first episode of RPM
I loved Forever Red especially that Eric was able to participate even though he's technically an extra ranger
6:23 All the crossovers that came after during the Disney era were original footage as well until Saban bought the show back.
I grew up on power rangers. While i cant say i’ve seen every episode i can say that i have watched at least 1 episode of each team. Power rangers in space was always my favorite and i rewatched it over and over again. I remember seeing this episode at 4 years old and it is suck a blast from the past!
Watching every episode and series live as it happened (or watch the reruns of the 1st season while watching the current eps) then watching Wild Force and you see the upcoming episode is being advertised as a crossover called "Forever Red" between all the Red Rangers. Your mind is blown and you are hyped to see Tommy coming back (Jason is respected as the OG Ranger, but Tommy had majority of OG fans in a craze). I remember it like it was yesterday. A great memory.
Forever was definitely top 3 best power ranger episodes for sure. The unmorphed fight was awesome. The morphed was just as awesome!!! I remember as a kid being so hyped watching it, I was jumping all over furniture in the living room imitating the fights. Just so good!!!
All through the video I kept thinking: "If only The Last Jedi could have learned from this episode". 😢
It’s the perfect episode because it show that Jason Lee Scott/Austin St. John is the true leader of all the Power Rangers.
he didn't show that at all. It showed that Tommy was. He showed that Jason is the most respected and that he knows when to step down like George Washington
Umm 🤔 Pretty sure it’s Jason David Frank AKA Tommy Oliver.
It shows Tommy as the leader, Jason as an overrespected veteran... and Andros as the one who does all the work.
This episode is a work of art, Koichi Sakamoto and his team did an amazing job!
Bro I remember watching this on ABC Family. I was like whoa! Definitely the best episode of power rangers I ever saw.
It's perfect for hype, with the end of In Space at a very close second, but as far as actual story/character moments go I don't think anything else really tops RPM Episode 11, Doctor K.
No disrespect to any of the series that came after but I’m glad they did this episode when they did because it was literally all the power rangers I grew up watching (actually stopped watching when it got to wild force so timing was literally perfect) and seeing them all on screen when they were all still at their peak was unreal. RIP the goat, Jason David Frank.
it's back!
This episode was AMAZING, the better Red Rangers covering for the weaker ones (Wild Force baby nobody in you can act and your fx suck)
My old sifu was the green ranger stuntman for one of the generations. He taught us flips, aerials, and other gymnastic tricks after our shaolin training.
Love this show
Loved that they really fought two Bettleborgs as enemies lol
"May the power protect you all"
I am so happy I watched this.
Forever red is indeed, one of the power rangers episodes of all time.
Even though all of the red rangers get their moments I really love how at the end of the episode when Serpentera gets away it’s Cole who ultimately takes it down, because since not only was Wild Force the series that this episode took place in but since it was also the newest series at the time I thought it was a nice touch to have the newbie of the team be the one who has the spotlight at the end
one of those villain characters is from Beetleborgs
tha green one .. remember dat one vividly
I was always a Blue or Green Ranger fan when I was a kid.
I was 5yo when this episode aired. And in the eyes of a kid, this episode is awesome and cool.
I quit Power Rangers after Lost Galaxy, but this would have made my head explode at the time
I loved when carter and the time force one start fighting they just pull out there blasters .
My only complaint about this episode is that it wasn't longer. Hahaha. It was over too soon. I really enjoyed it, and still go back and rewatch it, even though I didn't watch much after Space.
Need to watch Time Force SPD and RPM. GOATS. They really make you understand WHAT Power Rangers could have been if it stuck the those formulas and improved them instead of always regressing in age and quality to MMPR. for many people Once and always will be the first time they see Power Rangers as serious with Drama and a decent budget. But there's about 10 seasons like that and about 5 that are just greatness
@@JSmoothSoul I've heard that Time Force and RPM are among the best seasons out there. I'll get to them eventually. I'm gonna watch Dino Fury all the way through first so when Cosmic Fury and Once and Always comes out, I'll be up to speed.
Most memorable for me is the cross over with lost galaxy and in space. Most notably the death of the pink ranger. My first and only tear jerker for the power rangers universe.
I loved this episode as a kid every red ranger teaming up so cool
BRO if Koichi had 100M he's show up the entirely of Hollywood. Hell if he had 25M he's make one of the greatest action movies of all time. Same for Batinthesun but i enjoy Koichi's style of action much more
Agreed! Will always remember forever red. The closest thing we will have to every ranger team(at that point) combine forces at one point.
"Green With Evil" The five parter from season one is my favorit.
I watched this episode for the 1st time today and I was blown away! I just wish it was longer.
This one put a smile on my face.😌
Fun fact about the Beetlebor- B Fighte- MACHINE EMPIRE guys? A few of them were voiced by previous rangers. The only thing that would have made it better is having Not Dragonborg be voiced by Rueben Langdon, he was already in Time Force as a random soldier, and he played the Original character in B Fighter
as a kid i was waiting for this episode to come out Saturday morning like people wait for anime now. im glad i wasnt too big a kid yet when this came out. i was 24 lol
Just a head's up... this episode wasn't produced by Saban. It was produced by Disney. Disney purchased Saban when Time Force was winding down. Then produced Wild Force as the last North American season before moving production to New Zealand the next year. This episode was written as a "thank you" to fans who had stuck around the previous 10 seasons.
Though not mentioned in the video, Danny Slavin originally did not film scenes for the episode. He walked off the show during ADR work on Trakeena's Revenge, a 2-part Lightspeed Rescue crossover. His character's footage was shot morphed for the entire episode. However, after repeated attempts to convince him to do the episode, he finally returned after filming had already been completed and shot his scenes solo and often in front of a green screen. Shots of him with the group were edited together digitally. You'll notice one scene on the moon he goes from morphed to unmorphed to morphed to unmorphed to morphed again because it was impossible to reshoot the footage. When they huddle together at the end, he is not part of the inner circle either. Only the shot of him nodding and then a shot of him walking with the group was edited in with pre-existing footage.
I still can't get over the fact that two of those villains are just Big Bad Beetle Borg Characters. And one of them was a good guy.
the weekly promotion on tv for this every saturday morning is still drilled into my head. this was such an event to behold that you could not miss it. i remember exactly where i was when i watched it and it was an experience a lot of us at that time won’t forget
Go..go power rangers!
Holy shit! You just unearthed a piece of core memory from my childhood lol. I've always been a huge fan of Tokusatsu as a kid, from Kamen Rider to Ultra man, but not as much super sentai. And growing up in an Asian culture, I was exposed to more of the Japanese side of things. I was aware of the American adaptation, but didnt find it as compelling, except for this episode. Trying to remember it now feels like a fever dream, but damn was it not one of the best memories from my childhood
I remember this premiering and wondering why they were fighting Beetleborgs lol
barring the ending being Wild Force on a flying bike to defeat the ending, this Teamup is probably the best because it's the only one to actually feature an actor from every (almost?) previous team demorphed
100 percent agree with you!!! Incredible episode!
When power rangers do crossovers those are the best episodes l!! Forever Red is the best power ranger episode!!!
As flawed as Forever Red episode is, it's still the best Power Rangers crossover episode ever
RPM is where Power Rangers start use different universe like Digimon did
This was the best episode ever! I remember watching it when it first came out. It was amazing!
Forever Red is MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD but LEGENDARY Battle was my 1st Crossover EP (I LOVED IT) as i wasn't a fan when FR originally aired. Disney era fan - Dino Charge haven't bothered watching the ones past it but the Reunion of "Once and Always" has me HYPE AF.
I loved seeing T.J in Turbo Red and Tommy in ZEO as those where my favourite designs. Go HARD AF.
God we need a forever red 2
How have I been watching Power Rangers since literally day one and I am just now realizing this was made specifically for Power Rangers (U.S.)
It was originally supposed to be a two part special but the producers objected and sadly a large amount of the non morphed fight scene was sent to the cutting room floor
It's unfortunate they never managed to get it to be a 2 parter like it was supposed to be but This is one of the best. This and the team up from Lost Galaxy.
Forever red was so dope especially cause I was always the red ranger so seeing every red ranger up to that point was super awesome for me
“Pretty bad even for 2002 standards.”
Gollum: What did it say, precious?”
So basically most of the fight scenes when in suits are recycled from the original, and all the non suit shots were filmed for the adaptation.
I knew as soon as I saw
Once a ranger, always a ranger
I wouldn't say Forever Red was perfect but it's a great high point with a handful of flaws.
