I was definitely a fan of Kimbwrly but Tommy was my favorite because he was the very first Native American superhero I ever saw and being from a Native American family, myself, I felt represented.
I mean, Tommy the character might have been Native American but he must have gotten super whitewashed because I believe the least white thing Jason David Frank is Greek.
Who cares if he was blue , pink , yellow , black , white and oh my gosh native American. So sick of this whole skin color crap what if he sucked I mean horribly sucked at it. When it comes to acting all that should matter if they can act and do there jobs and leave out political racist skin color crap out of the movie's . So tired of it , no wonder our kids are so brainwashed and divided about skin color.
Most power rangers cast members have "some" acrobatic or martial arts background. But my two personal favorites are Tommy Oliver and Eric from Time Force. I remember as a young teenager watching the differences between Jason and Tommy and thinking that Tommy always had a "viciousness" in his combat. Jason was very technically aware and used just enough force to beat his opponent, but Tommy just seemed to demoralise his opponents, so they not only would run away but get afraid to face him a second time. Out of all the Ranger seasons I've watched since I stopped at Samurai - for some reason I couldn't get into that one - only one other had that viciousness in his fighting and that's Eric, the Quantum Ranger from Time Force.
@@patrickcromwell7554And that’s why I preferred Jason as the Mighty Morphin leader. Nothing against Tommy, but he was better as the sixth Ranger that would come to their aid. I wish Boom Studios would’ve done something like that more often. Instead they just went with Tommy as the leader, and replacing the original Mighty Morphin trio with Jason, Trini, and Zack.
@@cville991 Well there actually WAS a very good reason the replaced Trini Zack and jason on the production side of things. I think THIS is what made them substitute Tommy INTO the leadership role. But just to add to my "Viciousness" comments, After he became the White Ranger Tommy's fighting style mellowed out a lot. He Became more of a composed fighter. I evebn had one person tell me that he believes it was the White Tiger spirit within Tommy that changed him. I don't agree but hey, it's one theory in long list of theories. lol. Also as anyone who started at Mighty Morphin, Tommy was one of the reasons they continued to watch; hoping to see more of him. Except for Trent - on Dino Thunder - I don't know of any other single Ranger that could utterly humiliate a whole ranmger team on his own and make it look effortless. Jason was a better "lead by example" type of leader while Tommy was the "show up and boost the team's morale" kind of leader. My personal problem is that after those two I can't rightly say who was an acceptible leader after them. Carter from Light Speed Rescue wasn't bad. And even Jen from Time Force wasn't terrible. but no one else really stands out to me.
Well to be fair he didn't actually change colors; the Green powers expired and then Zordon and Alpha used Zordon's own energy to create the White Ranger.
Mighty morphin was first. This movie was based off the end of season 2 into the beginning of season3. Zeo was next. The 2017 movie was based off season 1 of mighty morphin.

every time I mention this childhood movie of mine to my friends they have no clue what this movie is. I'm so glad someone's doing a movie commentary on this
I use to watch the show every day after school! Kimberly was my favorite. I thought she was so cool and pretty. Your face when he said inconceivable! Haha you were so annoyed. Power rangers in hella corny but I still love it. For action movie watch Double Jeopardy.
What teenage boy didn't have a crush on Kimberly when this and the OG show came out? But Billy was my favorite because I could relate so much to him, being the nerdy kid
Kimberly and Jason were my favorite OG I liked Tommy's white ranger costume and saba sword and his tiger Droid. I loved bulk and skull. I miss the original rangers. RiP trini that actress passed away in real life she died in a car accident 😢
I could be wrong, but I assumed when you morphed, you tap into the morphing grid which transformed you into the power rangers, so your teleported to the grid which morphs you then teleports you back to the fight.
Ivan Ooze wasn't really the Thanos of the Power Rangers, but he's more like an Ultron. Smart villain. Breaks free. Cracks jokes. Makes copies of himself. Makes deals with other villains. And focuses all his efforts on one city for the climax? That's Ultron.
First: 'Shed a Thug tear for Zordon' is my favorite quote from BYSC!😂 I'm bi and so I had a HUGE crush on the Yellow and White!😍 I didn't understand my feelings for Yellow and it was an interesting talk with my parents needless to say. Lol. And Tommy is still droll worthy!😋 Please check out: 'Who framed Roger Rabbit' (comdey), 'The Wiz' (musical), or 'Freedom Writers' (inspirational). Above all THANK YOU for sharing your light! Be safe, Be blessed!👏 P.s We missed you last week ! So please don't disappear again! Please and thank you!💓💋💗
So great! I used to play Power Rangers with my little brother. I watched the movie not too long ago, and the nostalgia hit HARD. Thanks for doing this movie Billy!!
I was watching this movie again after 30 years later and it made me smile when they morphed up their new gears. I was super sad when Zordon was dying. Such a kickass movie!!
I remember when this movie came out, I was 8. My dad STILL to this day complains that he had to sit through this in the theater! They definitely added the gadgets for the movie. There were so many toys out for it!
I loved your enthusiasm here! I never saw this movie but I remember watching Power Rangers as a child. Mystic Force was my show. I had to laugh when you pointed out at the start that they wore their ranger colours out. 😂 Recommendation: A Monster Calls
Og power rangers pink and yellow were my faves and kim's quips in these were 😂😂 one that was used again in dino thunder and another series was "have a nice trip see u next fall" also like her bye bye quip but it was said like love bye or something
Still my favorite movie ever. I'm 20 years old now and it still brings back my childhood feeling. I also love the scene where Kim said : you make me sick sick sick. Lol!
My very first crush was Kimberly. Also, the closest we've gotten to Thanos (in terms of strength) in the power rangers multiverse is Lord Drakon. Look into him. He ties back into the first season of Power Rangers. Also, who else gets Lothor vibes off of Ivan? The villan from Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
I watched this movie last night because I liked it when I was a kid too, and it sent me down a real rabbit hole. Original red, black, and yellow ranger quit because they weren’t being paid enough and wanted to unionize, and Tommy was supposed to quit with them. When push came to shove; Red, Black, and Yellow left, and Tommy became the main character next season, leaving the others to be replaced. Then blue ranger eventually quit for being sick of a homophobic work environment a couple seasons later. There’s a bunch of stuff to read about them
Watching this in honor of Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver) passing on 11/19/2022 😢 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was my favorite show in the world growing up. My favorite was Kimberly and my husband's favorite was Tommy. I loved that it showed the girls fighting along side with the boys as equals. It showed me that girls can fight too. I thought the same thing about skydiving as a kid. I wanted to so badly, but as an adult I'm terrified to go skydiving. R.I.P. Jason David Frank.
IVan ooze was played by Paul Freeman and my favorite was Kimberly but my crush was tommy and jason. I was a baby when the movie came out I was born in 95
something i never realized as a kid: this movie is non-canon to the TV show. it's an alternate universe. that's why they have different gadgets and why their suits are metal instead of spandex or w/e it was lol the Power Rangers Turbo movie, however, IS canon and takes place between Zeo and Turbo (season 4 and 5). also i'm kinda a PR nerd so here's the breakdown: Mighty Morphin' was the original "series", and was the only title to span more than one season. it went for 3 seasons but each season had new zords and powers without changing the title. first they had the Dinozords, then the Thunderzords, then the Ninjazords you see in this movie, but they were obtained in a completely different way in the show. then season 4 was Zeo and each season after that changed titles, but kept many of the same characters and were in the same continuity until season 7. seasons 8+ are mostly standalone seasons (in the same universe) with completely different characters, with occasional reunion episodes for like, 10 and 15 year anniversaries of the series, which brought back old characters. but also season 10 (i think) had Tommy as a main character again. people call seasons 1-6 the Zordon Era and season 8+ the post-Zordon Era, with season 7 being kind of a bridge between, because it still had some characters from the Zordon Era in it. and thus wasn't completely standalone yet
1. Mighty Morphin (Adam, Kimberly, Billy, Aisha, Rocky and Tommy become the Ninja Rangers during the 3rd season after losing powers) (Kimberly, Tommy and Aisha were my favorite Rangers) 2. Alien 3. Zeo 4. Turbo (which was made into a movie. The second film at that) 5. Space 6. Lost Galaxy 7. Lightspeed Rescue 8. Time Force 9. Wild Force 10. Ninja Storm 11. Dino Thunder 12. S.P.D. 13. Mystic Force 14. Operation Overdrive 15. Jungle Fury (my 2rd favorite) 16. RPM 17. Samurai (my 3rd favorite) 17 a. Super Samurai 18. Megaforce 18 a. Super Megaforce 19. Dino Charge 19 a. Super Dino Charge 20. Ninja Steel 20 a. Super Ninja Steel 21. Beast Morphers 22. Dino Fury
I had a crush on all 5 original rangers, especially Kim and Billy. I then also had a crush on Adam, Rocky, and Aisha when they came along. Also had a crush on Skull. And scorpiona
I loved it. My son and I started off watching the originally Power Rangers first with Triny, and Zack, and Jason. until Iesha and the black ranger, you see now. 7 years later my daughter started watching the new Power Rangers,
My favorite Power Ranger was Kimberly. I had a Pink Ranger costume when I was a kid. My brothers both had Gold Ranger costumes. Then I dressed up as her for Halloween again in grad school. Also Kimberly and Tommy were my first OTP.
Also these zords are new ones to them: rocky was mastodon but now he's frog; Adam was T-Rex but now he's ape; Kym was pterodactyl but now she's crane; Aisha was saber toothed tiger but now she's bear; billy was triceratops but now he's wolf; tommy was white tiger but now he's Falcon; these zords are all new to them that's why they had no idea really how to use them and just learned as they went along.
A cool detail I noticed in the 2017 movie is that Rita put her green power coin in her staff and in the end when she was shot off into outer space by the megazord, she didn't have her staff with her. That means that her staff, along with the green power coin, is still on earth.
Not even kidding, as someone named Kimberly, I used to be called the pink power ranger ALL THE TIME. and I actually didn't like it. I liked Tommy the most LOL. I love this movie though. So much nostalgia thinking back to old 90's movies. Sometimes the old corny jokes give me secondhand embarrassment but I still love it in the end. :)
That is childhood right there. Time has been stuck since last year, might as well enjoy it as a kid rather than as a depressed adult 🤣 Do the PR Turbo next. Also do Skyhigh and Xmen. I grew up pretending having powers because of these movies.
Ivan Ooze is certainly the greatest Power Ranger villian, ever..! And yes, I completely agree with you analogy, comparing Ivan to Thanos. Ivan was truly a character with so much more potential than he was ever given or given credit for. And if they ever make a rated R Power Rangers movie and Ivan Ooze isn't the main villan, I will legitimately throw a fit like a little kid after eating too much sugar on a bad day. 😑
Loved Kimberly the Pink ranger and Tommy. Also loved them together. Remember as a kid how I used to play with my friends pretending to be the rangers and I made sure I always was the pink ranger
My cousin was in the original Power Rangers tv show. He played Richie, a new kid who had a thing for Trini. His character was added to throw off audiences as a potential Green Ranger.
*White Ranger Audiences knew Tommy was the Green Ranger, but they never announced who the White Ranger was going to be, so yeah, Richie was a candidate, and I think even Zach's cousin... Hey that's cool, your cousin was in Piwer Rangers.
He was the love interest for Trini yeah but she left the show so they just stopped including him unfortunately , he passed away right? I'm so sorry about that.
As a child the scariest thing I ever saw and to this day - because it affected me so completely - I still get nervous, was the Thriller music video; specifically the part where MJ start yelling and moaning and transforming into a wolfman.
This movie created these suits but the TV show never used them. My guess is the budget for maintaining and making new fully padded armors if these should get damaged. The toys only incorporated the power coin symbols on their chest. The Series didn't have that part. The chest was just a white diamond shape.
It was definitely one top notch movie. And there were important life active roles and lessons in life that you can imagine and think in a thoroughly thoughtful manner.
Pink Ranger, Kimberly was my fav. And not only cause we had the same name. Haha. One of the few movies my older brother and I could watch together. He was the one who introduced me to it. My nephew has seen every version and made me watch them with him. This is still the best. They are all just as cheesey but it made more since to be like that back in the 90s. I feel like they should've progressed somewhat but I also like that they didn't.
I know I'm cheating, but my favourite PRs (Not just MMPRs but all of PRs), there are 7 of them: Jason, Trini, Billy, Zack, Rocky, Aisha, and Adam (But Kimberly's an Honourable Mention) Also, I don't blame for having a crush on Aisha AT ALL, she's EXTREMELY pretty.
My favorite mighty morphin power ranger is Tommy. His hair is dope and he was the green ranger for a little bit then he became the white ranger. Skull had a crush on Kimberly during mighty morphin and when Bulk returned in samurai with his sidekick Spike Spike had a crush on Mia, (the pink ranger in that series).
I met JDF the white Ranger at a con a few years back wearing a pink Ranger shirt and I never felt so cool in my entire life lol He even said “Well if it isn’t my favorite Ranger.” 😍
Super like bro, that brought back some great memories. You should do turbo a power rangers movie. I liked that even more as a kid and I think it would be fun to see you do that one.
My husband is a big Power Ranger fan too. After we had our son, he went in EBay and baught megazords from each season. Needless to say, my now 4 year old loves this show AND only watches the OG series.
I remember my mom taking me, my twin brother, & 3 my cousins to see this movie. The lady told my mom that she was a glutton for punishment taking all of us to this movie. My mom told us to behave while she got some snacks and drinks or we wouldn't stay to see the movie. The lady beside us told my mom when she got back that we were some of the most well behaved kids she had ever seen. I think mom telling us that we wouldn't stay to see the movie motivated us to behave. All of us had a favorite power ranger. I liked the white ranger, my brother liked the red ranger, my cousin Allen liked the blue ranger, my cousin Josh liked the black ranger, & the cousin Tiffany liked the pink ranger.
When this movie came out... I was -1, lol. I was born a year later! Sadly, would have been amazing to be born the same year this movie was made. But my favorite character - well, characters - were Jason and Tommy. Jason was so good at being a leader of the team. Plus, watching his martial arts was amazing. Then Tommy, the way he was introduced, be forced to be the Evil Green Ranger only to come out of it and work to redeem himself, it was the coolest thing in my opinion.
I’m loving your commentaries and this movie may be cheesy but it is a lot of fun! I also wanted to throw in a comment about The Princess Bride because for some reason I couldn’t actually comment on that one but Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies because I basically grew up on it. I love watching you though because you have an amazing energy when you’re watching stuff.
I was definitely a fan of Kimbwrly but Tommy was my favorite because he was the very first Native American superhero I ever saw and being from a Native American family, myself, I felt represented.
Wow I didn't know that! That's makes it even more amazing that he is the one that they used several time over
I had no idea Tommy was Native American that’s badass! I have so much love for the culture!
Lol tommy wasn’t Native American
I mean, Tommy the character might have been Native American but he must have gotten super whitewashed because I believe the least white thing Jason David Frank is Greek.
Who cares if he was blue , pink , yellow , black , white and oh my gosh native American. So sick of this whole skin color crap what if he sucked I mean horribly sucked at it. When it comes to acting all that should matter if they can act and do there jobs and leave out political racist skin color crap out of the movie's . So tired of it , no wonder our kids are so brainwashed and divided about skin color.
Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost, who played the Pink and Blue Rangers, were actual gymnasts. Also Jason David Frank(Tommy) is a mixed martial artist.
And Johnny young Bosch does his own stunts.
Most power rangers cast members have "some" acrobatic or martial arts background. But my two personal favorites are Tommy Oliver and Eric from Time Force. I remember as a young teenager watching the differences between Jason and Tommy and thinking that Tommy always had a "viciousness" in his combat. Jason was very technically aware and used just enough force to beat his opponent, but Tommy just seemed to demoralise his opponents, so they not only would run away but get afraid to face him a second time. Out of all the Ranger seasons I've watched since I stopped at Samurai - for some reason I couldn't get into that one - only one other had that viciousness in his fighting and that's Eric, the Quantum Ranger from Time Force.

Well to be fair he didn't actually change colors; the Green powers expired and then Zordon and Alpha used Zordon's own energy to create the White Ranger.

I had a crush on Topanga back in those times 😂 but sure Amy Jo was beautiful but didn't want to get my ass kicked by JDF.
The guy playing Ivan Ooze is the guy who played Beloch from Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark
Kimberly and Jason were my favorite OG I liked Tommy's white ranger costume and saba sword and his tiger Droid. I loved bulk and skull. I miss the original rangers. RiP trini that actress passed away in real life she died in a car accident 😢
Tommy was my favorite he was a childhood hero of mine I even got to meet him earlier this year and will get to meet him again next weekend
I could be wrong, but I assumed when you morphed, you tap into the morphing grid which transformed you into the power rangers, so your teleported to the grid which morphs you then teleports you back to the fight.
Ivan Ooze wasn't really the Thanos of the Power Rangers, but he's more like an Ultron.
Smart villain.
Breaks free.
Cracks jokes.
Makes copies of himself.
Makes deals with other villains.
And focuses all his efforts on one city for the climax?
That's Ultron.

lol sameeee! though mine was for pink and white 😂 I didn’t understand at the time but looking back now, it makes toootal sense haha
Growing up Thuy Trang was my power rangers crush I was so sad when I heard she passed away
Tommy and Kimberly and Aisha were my favorites! BLACK PINK & YELLOW!!!
Girl Same!
I love this movie! This is my childhood. It's morphin time!
I lost count how many time I watched the classic movie as a kid and growing up. This movie was just COOL 😎 Presentation of the colors and Power.
RIP to the original Yellow Ranger Trini.
Ivan Ooz was definitely the creepiest, but Divatox’s romantic interest in the lava monster during turbo was weird as hell.
So great! I used to play Power Rangers with my little brother. I watched the movie not too long ago, and the nostalgia hit HARD. Thanks for doing this movie Billy!!
Dude, Billy will always be my favourite
He had the best character development, Best suit and the best weapons
I was watching this movie again after 30 years later and it made me smile when they morphed up their new gears. I was super sad when Zordon was dying. Such a kickass movie!!
I remember when this movie came out, I was 8. My dad STILL to this day complains that he had to sit through this in the theater! They definitely added the gadgets for the movie. There were so many toys out for it!
I remember that summer too. Casper, Judge Dredd, this, Batman Forever.
Completely agree with you on Ivan Ooze, he was incredible as a Villain
Tommie was my favorite. I was obsessed with his dagger-flute
This was super fun to relive with you bro! Some of those moments gave me chills and flashbacks to a happier time in my life as a child lol
I did have a crush on Kimberly
I have a crush on Kimberly too
So did I I think everyone did
If you watched mighty morphing power rangers and are a guy you had a crush on Kimberly.
Who didn’t have a crush on Kimberly?
Tommy aka the green, but now white ranger, was my fav. I lived and breathe for him.
I loved your enthusiasm here! I never saw this movie but I remember watching Power Rangers as a child. Mystic Force was my show. I had to laugh when you pointed out at the start that they wore their ranger colours out. 😂
Recommendation: A Monster Calls

Have you seen Saban’s Power Rangers? More diverse cast (Billy is black 👍🏿), and it’s a fun new take on the overall story.
It's not a more diverse cast
Tommy's character was a good addition to the show. I'm not even going to lie I had a crush on Kimberly 😆
Still my favorite movie ever. I'm 20 years old now and it still brings back my childhood feeling. I also love the scene where Kim said : you make me sick sick sick. Lol!
I love all the power rangers!!! R.I.P Jason David Frank
My very first crush was Kimberly. Also, the closest we've gotten to Thanos (in terms of strength) in the power rangers multiverse is Lord Drakon. Look into him. He ties back into the first season of Power Rangers.
Also, who else gets Lothor vibes off of Ivan? The villan from Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
7:51 theory about the morphing sequence. The audience watching sees it slowed down but in real time it’s only a split second
I watched this movie last night because I liked it when I was a kid too, and it sent me down a real rabbit hole. Original red, black, and yellow ranger quit because they weren’t being paid enough and wanted to unionize, and Tommy was supposed to quit with them. When push came to shove; Red, Black, and Yellow left, and Tommy became the main character next season, leaving the others to be replaced. Then blue ranger eventually quit for being sick of a homophobic work environment a couple seasons later.
There’s a bunch of stuff to read about them
Watching this in honor of Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver) passing on 11/19/2022 😢 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was my favorite show in the world growing up. My favorite was Kimberly and my husband's favorite was Tommy. I loved that it showed the girls fighting along side with the boys as equals. It showed me that girls can fight too. I thought the same thing about skydiving as a kid. I wanted to so badly, but as an adult I'm terrified to go skydiving. R.I.P. Jason David Frank.
IVan ooze was played by Paul Freeman and my favorite was Kimberly but my crush was tommy and jason. I was a baby when the movie came out I was born in 95
Team white ranger ALL DAY! I had this on vcr when I was younger ..I’d dead watch this movie 24/7!!! I was simping for Kimberly too 😅
Tommy: We’re different. We won’t fail!
(Gets knocked on his ass and pinned to the ground in like 2 seconds)
Me: Being different isn’t always better.
... Reacting to the pick ranger joke... "Too much Pink energy is dangerous!"
something i never realized as a kid: this movie is non-canon to the TV show. it's an alternate universe. that's why they have different gadgets and why their suits are metal instead of spandex or w/e it was lol
the Power Rangers Turbo movie, however, IS canon and takes place between Zeo and Turbo (season 4 and 5).
also i'm kinda a PR nerd so here's the breakdown:
Mighty Morphin' was the original "series", and was the only title to span more than one season. it went for 3 seasons but each season had new zords and powers without changing the title.
first they had the Dinozords, then the Thunderzords, then the Ninjazords you see in this movie, but they were obtained in a completely different way in the show.
then season 4 was Zeo and each season after that changed titles, but kept many of the same characters and were in the same continuity until season 7.
seasons 8+ are mostly standalone seasons (in the same universe) with completely different characters, with occasional reunion episodes for like, 10 and 15 year anniversaries of the series, which brought back old characters. but also season 10 (i think) had Tommy as a main character again.
people call seasons 1-6 the Zordon Era and season 8+ the post-Zordon Era, with season 7 being kind of a bridge between, because it still had some characters from the Zordon Era in it. and thus wasn't completely standalone yet
1. Mighty Morphin (Adam, Kimberly, Billy, Aisha, Rocky and Tommy become the Ninja Rangers during the 3rd season after losing powers) (Kimberly, Tommy and Aisha were my favorite Rangers)

Drake and Josh's show was based on the formula Keenan and Kel used. Nickelodeon said so. I loved both of those shows
Pink, Kimberly. Was her like 3 years in a row for Halloween lol
11:13, I actually had that thought recently! So I honestly agree with you Billy.
I loved it. My son and I started off watching the originally Power Rangers first with Triny, and Zack, and Jason. until Iesha and the black ranger, you see now. 7 years later my daughter started watching the new Power Rangers,
My favorite Power Ranger was Kimberly. I had a Pink Ranger costume when I was a kid. My brothers both had Gold Ranger costumes. Then I dressed up as her for Halloween again in grad school. Also Kimberly and Tommy were my first OTP.
Damn I cheesed so hard watching him react to this. Still a die hard fan to this day of power rangers. Team Tommy.
Also these zords are new ones to them: rocky was mastodon but now he's frog; Adam was T-Rex but now he's ape; Kym was pterodactyl but now she's crane; Aisha was saber toothed tiger but now she's bear; billy was triceratops but now he's wolf; tommy was white tiger but now he's Falcon; these zords are all new to them that's why they had no idea really how to use them and just learned as they went along.
Actually Rocky and Adam’s zords are reversed
My audible hyperfixation for YEARS was that SICKENINGLY catchy early 90s song 🎵Uh oh, we're in trouble🎵
RIP Jason David Frank AKA Tommy Oliver 😭😭😭
My favorite was billy, the original blue ranger!
@Cathyron Harris Ditto.
Yep
I absolutely love this movie. I watched the power rangers for years. My favorite is Kimberly, Aisha ,Tommy and Adam.
To tell you truth, Power Rangers are my life.😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
A cool detail I noticed in the 2017 movie is that Rita put her green power coin in her staff and in the end when she was shot off into outer space by the megazord, she didn't have her staff with her. That means that her staff, along with the green power coin, is still on earth.
I'm with you there billy this movie my num 1 fav
Mines red and white ranger Rip Jason David Frank
Kimberly is my 1st favourite ranger ,Tommy is my 2nd favourite , we share 1 favourite ranger
Not even kidding, as someone named Kimberly, I used to be called the pink power ranger ALL THE TIME. and I actually didn't like it. I liked Tommy the most LOL. I love this movie though. So much nostalgia thinking back to old 90's movies. Sometimes the old corny jokes give me secondhand embarrassment but I still love it in the end. :)
That is childhood right there. Time has been stuck since last year, might as well enjoy it as a kid rather than as a depressed adult 🤣 Do the PR Turbo next. Also do Skyhigh and Xmen. I grew up pretending having powers because of these movies.
Ivan Ooze is certainly the greatest Power Ranger villian, ever..!
And yes, I completely agree with you analogy, comparing Ivan to Thanos.
Ivan was truly a character with so much more potential than he was ever given or given credit for.
And if they ever make a rated R Power Rangers movie and Ivan Ooze isn't the main villan, I will legitimately throw a fit like a little kid after eating too much sugar on a bad day. 😑
Loved Kimberly the Pink ranger and Tommy. Also loved them together. Remember as a kid how I used to play with my friends pretending to be the rangers and I made sure I always was the pink ranger
My cousin was in the original Power Rangers tv show. He played Richie, a new kid who had a thing for Trini. His character was added to throw off audiences as a potential Green Ranger.
*White Ranger
Audiences knew Tommy was the Green Ranger, but they never announced who the White Ranger was going to be, so yeah, Richie was a candidate, and I think even Zach's cousin...
Hey that's cool, your cousin was in Piwer Rangers.
He was the love interest for Trini yeah but she left the show so they just stopped including him unfortunately , he passed away right? I'm so sorry about that.
As a child the scariest thing I ever saw and to this day - because it affected me so completely - I still get nervous, was the Thriller music video; specifically the part where MJ start yelling and moaning and transforming into a wolfman.
This movie created these suits but the TV show never used them. My guess is the budget for maintaining and making new fully padded armors if these should get damaged. The toys only incorporated the power coin symbols on their chest. The Series didn't have that part. The chest was just a white diamond shape.
For sure Tommy as the green ranger and my childhood crush Kimberly as the pink ranger were my favorite. And yeah, Dulcea was hot af in this movie
I was always a fan of Jason the Red Ranger. The new gadgets seen in this movie were done just for the movie to try to add some larger scale.
It was definitely one top notch movie. And there were important life active roles and lessons in life that you can imagine and think in a thoroughly thoughtful manner.
There is actually a documentary on how Mighty Morphine The Movie was created. It feels so nostalgic when I saw them as an adult.
Pink Ranger, Kimberly was my fav. And not only cause we had the same name. Haha.
One of the few movies my older brother and I could watch together. He was the one who introduced me to it.
My nephew has seen every version and made me watch them with him. This is still the best. They are all just as cheesey but it made more since to be like that back in the 90s. I feel like they should've progressed somewhat but I also like that they didn't.
I know I'm cheating, but my favourite PRs (Not just MMPRs but all of PRs), there are 7 of them: Jason, Trini, Billy, Zack, Rocky, Aisha, and Adam (But Kimberly's an Honourable Mention)
Also, I don't blame for having a crush on Aisha AT ALL, she's EXTREMELY pretty.
Rip Green ranger, gone but not forgotten. He and Jason were my crushes when I was little and even now they still are xxx
My favorite mighty morphin power ranger is Tommy. His hair is dope and he was the green ranger for a little bit then he became the white ranger. Skull had a crush on Kimberly during mighty morphin and when Bulk returned in samurai with his sidekick Spike Spike had a crush on Mia, (the pink ranger in that series).
It was that Jason Billy combo for me.
Technically ‘Get Smart’ a 1960’s tv show was the first one to have a “smart watch” then came ‘Knight Rider’ a 1980’s tv show to have it.
I met JDF the white Ranger at a con a few years back wearing a pink Ranger shirt and I never felt so cool in my entire life lol He even said “Well if it isn’t my favorite Ranger.” 😍
Billy was always my favorite Ranger from the OG cast. Kimberly was a close second.
I like the ninja outfits but I like the original Zords. I loved that out of the original OG swords Kimberly's was the only one that could fly.
The Yellow Ranger was my favorite! And my first celeb crush was Tommy.
Yeah I was pretty sad when the actress who played Trini the yellow ranger Thuy Trang passed away
I've never seen you this excited about a movie before Billy.
Super like bro, that brought back some great memories. You should do turbo a power rangers movie. I liked that even more as a kid and I think it would be fun to see you do that one.
Kimberley was my favorite ranger when I was a kid but I was crushing on Tommy big time.
My husband is a big Power Ranger fan too. After we had our son, he went in EBay and baught megazords from each season. Needless to say, my now 4 year old loves this show AND only watches the OG series.
I remember my mom taking me, my twin brother, & 3 my cousins to see this movie. The lady told my mom that she was a glutton for punishment taking all of us to this movie. My mom told us to behave while she got some snacks and drinks or we wouldn't stay to see the movie. The lady beside us told my mom when she got back that we were some of the most well behaved kids she had ever seen. I think mom telling us that we wouldn't stay to see the movie motivated us to behave. All of us had a favorite power ranger. I liked the white ranger, my brother liked the red ranger, my cousin Allen liked the blue ranger, my cousin Josh liked the black ranger, & the cousin Tiffany liked the pink ranger.
All these comments and only one other shout out for Alpha.
And I would also still like a villain snowglobe
Kimberly was my favorite ranger too 💗 Tommy was my crush.
THIS WAS MY DAMN MOVIE!!! 🤟🏾🔥
When this movie came out... I was -1, lol. I was born a year later! Sadly, would have been amazing to be born the same year this movie was made. But my favorite character - well, characters - were Jason and Tommy. Jason was so good at being a leader of the team. Plus, watching his martial arts was amazing. Then Tommy, the way he was introduced, be forced to be the Evil Green Ranger only to come out of it and work to redeem himself, it was the coolest thing in my opinion.
I’m loving your commentaries and this movie may be cheesy but it is a lot of fun! I also wanted to throw in a comment about The Princess Bride because for some reason I couldn’t actually comment on that one but Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies because I basically grew up on it. I love watching you though because you have an amazing energy when you’re watching stuff.
I had a huge thing for Kimberly... also I met the Bulk and Skull actors at a comic con last year.
YES!!! I've been waiting for this!!! I'm such a power ranger fan! Billy, Jason, and Zack were my favorites. Also Aisha, she can get it.
I've lost track of how many times I've watched this video!
Most satisfying moment of the video is when you realize that Zordon isn’t wrapped up like an empanada; he’s wrapped up like a tamale!!
