RIP to the greatest Ranger to ever morph. The legacy Jason David Frank created will live on forever. It still doesn’t feel real, a huge part of our childhoods died today. 💔💚
Rip Jason David Frank, a literal icon for so many of us kids from the 90' s. For many of us there will never be another Power Ranger that commanded the screen like he did :(
I just love the fact that Jason David Frank seems to be always willing to retake his role as the Green Ranger in any fan-made and short movies (without counting Power Ranger Special episode). The guy totally embrace his old character.
@@deceptionz187 I disagree. It’s not like the dude wanted to be Tom Cruise. His primary thing was being a martial artist. Not a Hollywood A actor. He genuinely enjoyed being the Green Ranger. I don’t think he did these out of spite at all.
He already was when it all happened and still is it’s too bad there was no way to prevent such a tragedy if only people can realize thiers a greater meaning in living life to the fullest instead of letting it’s tough times bring you down there was just so much more he could’ve did for us as his fans but it’s already said and done just hope he’s found peace where he is
Rest in piece JDF. He made my childhood and gave me so many good menories and I can't believe that he's gone. I'm glad that his legacy will live on through his family, fans, and the projects he's worked on over the years. Thank you, Jason.
Came back to thank David Frank for giving us everything. Before the MCU it was all you at the Power Rangers franchise. Thank you for everything, David. White Ranger, Green Ranger, Black Ranger and Red Ranger.. You had my heart through them all… specially Green and White. Thanks again ❤❤❤
@@WafflezDay some of the funniest and happiest people in the world are the most depressed like Robin Williams too many Legends are being lost one of the saddest parts is we never see the signs but that's the thing we're not really supposed to
The part that made this so awesome is the fact that they got Jason David Frank to actually be the green ranger. The nostalgia is so epic with that move. The guy who played Ryu was dope too. I’ve watched almost all of these and this by far is my favorite one. Excellent work.
I got butterflies when I saw it Jason. Made me remember my second grade year on the rubber at the monkey bars chopping, kicking, and throwing each other around. It's Morphin' Time! @@darylchase5651 Your a clown. I can not understand why people just take time out of their day just to go hate on other people. WhyU SoJelly?
Since Tommy actually has a master morpher in the show that let's him use his old ranger forms this fight, and the white ranger vs scorpion fight, can actually fit into head canon now XD
I just want to say Thank you to Aaron for creating this great homage to the original power rangers and giving us this masterpiece. JDF you will be missed brother! Forever a hero to millions may you rest in peace.
This news left me devastated. I am so shocked. He was my favorite ranger. Didn’t matter if he was green or white. He seemed like such a nice guy and fully embraced being a ranger. His fighting style was amazing too. So fun to watch. Rest in peace Jason! I bow in respect and honor to you.
Same bro when I was little I did karate because of the mmpr and tommy aka Jason was the one that got me that idea now I’m might come back to relearn again because of him and let the dragonzord makes his finale resting place - plays the dragon dagger and send him off a farewell honor that made our childhoods awesome and epic
I'm still trying to figure out why Super Power Beatdown can do, with a very small amount of money, what these gigantic movie studios can't seem to do with a sh*t load of money...?
Silverwolf 10283 they actually work with very little money. Aaron is just very detailed in what he does. Plans every sec of the fights and has a great team behind him.
Of course they did! He's probably super super protective of the character because it's his baby... it's what he always has been and always will be remembered for. He probably takes every chance he can get to put that thing on one more time and show everyone he's still got it. And now he's 2-0 on super power beat down so I have to imagine he will get another fight soon. Hopefully against some stiffer competition like batman.
Lol “nothing beats the original” I wouldn’t say that. Tommy is the most overrated ranger in ranger history, and mmpr itself is one of the worst seasons (not including the neo-saban era, because all of the new shows are actual plotless horribly acted pieces of shit with no effort whatsoever put into them).
Another thing that's awesome about this fight is that Tommy follows the Power Rangers code of conduct, specifically the "never escalate a battle unless forced to" rule. Tommy only morphs and summons the Dragon Dagger in response to Ryu using fireballs and only summons the sword when Ryu powers-up. In each case it is always Ryu that escalates things. The makers really did their research.
@@mrx-od3ji it all depends, Ryu has different forms such as Mu No Ken Ryu and Shin Ryu. I’d say the only version of Ryu that can win is Crimson Hawk Ranger Ryu
@@mrx-od3ji ryu anihalates the green ranger if anything his red zeo ranger would be the best shout as the zeo power constantly grows besides the fact the green ranger can be killed via a candle and if it wasnt for Tommy being so popular he would have been killed off like Burai was in zyuranger same thing happened in time force with Eric's quantum ranger they filmed the death but eventually cut it
It's always just so sad when great people like Jason David Frank pass away when they still have so many more years to live for, he will go down as one of the greatest kids entertainers to ever grace a TV screen, may the spirit of the green ranger live on
Batinthesun: "Hey Jason, we'd like you to put on the gre-" JDF: "say no more, IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" I grew up watching the original, and to rewatch this fight over and over is a treat.
5:26 Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you modernize an iconic design while still respecting the source material. Edit: Holy Cow!! I've never had this many likes on a comment before, thanks everyone!
Arnold will always be the Terminator. Sigourney will always be Ripley. Jason David Frank will always be the most iconic ranger of all time. The Green ranger. Rest in power Jason David Frank.
They legit changed the original story because the character was so popular in the Japanese counterpart burai dies and gifts geki ( red ranger) but its more than that after it geki has trouble controlling dragon caesar jdf was suppose to go onto vr troopers or big bad beetleborgs but was brought back as the white ranger that suit and zord was from dairanger the follow up season to zyuranger ( mmpr in the west) the Same goes for Eric in time force again his counterpart is killed off and they filmed it but again was changed as he appears in the wild force team up episode
I know!!! It's been 11 years since I last H eard from Jason David Frank! I'll admit I first saw him on Power Rangers Dino Thunder when he was the Black Brachiosaurus Ranger! It's great to see that he's still kicking and as badass as ever!
Tommy is in all ways the most legendary of the Rangers, which is basically proven by the fact that they not only got JDF for this but also gave his suit a seriously impressive overhaul, for what basically amounts to a 3-minute fantasy fight :P I mean really if they wanted to there could be a team of only Tommy-Rangers, Green, White, Red, Red and Black....I'm assuming the only reason they don't is because whatever bad guys popped up would break into tears and surrender immediately before the 3rd Tommy was even done morphing :P Over the years he's been in something like 230 episodes + 2 movies. As for popularity overall, Adam is about the only Ranger to come close (150ish episodes) even though Billy was around more, almost 200 episodes for him.
Absolutely devastated...he legit WAS the green ranger/white ranger...Most actors are just playing a part but he embodied the character in everything he did. He was as legit of a martial artist as one can be. Above all else, he was one of the few real ones...A shining light of constant positivity that people were blessed to have, but sadly many took him for granted..I know he had people fawning over him regularly, but i really hope the people closest to him realized who they had in their lives...Im so sorry your life was so painful you had to leave like this, Jason. You will always be my original hero. You inspired me to love and practice martial arts. You brought happiness and fun into my broken childhood. Youre the reason i could throw headkicks naturally and the reason my favorite color is green. I truly feel like i lost a family member..I legit shed tears multiple times throughout the entire sad day after his passing..JDF, Your legacy will finally get the respect it deserves. People will actually see you for exactly who you were and they will miss you dearly. If you were compensated properly for portraying one of the most iconic characters of the 20th/21st centuries, and if con promoters did their fkn jobs you wouldnt have had to promote yourself tirelessly on your personal social media, which is the only reason some shallow people couldnt see you for you and hated on you for no reason. You were the genuine article. REST IN POWER, RANGER! WE LOVE YOU! JDF FOREVER!
I’m so mad finding out what happened. I like JDF and always looked up to him growing up. From all his messages that he gave out and how he would do amazing things for his fans. To find out what he did last night is heartbreaking. RIP JDF.
When you create a redesigned costume for a fan-made short movie so awesome, the owners import it to canon of the franchise. I always knew this suit would rock.
It’s a shame we’ll never get another one of these amazing super power beat down or any JDF content :/ just hope legend of the white dragon releases soon in honor of Jason as he deserves the film he worked so hard on to be released and viewed by his fans
Jason David Frank has wanted to do a Green Ranger movie since forever, and he wants it to have the same tone as Logan. He says there's hope because neither Saban nor Hasbro has ever told him a straight no, but personally, I think his optimism is misplaced.
Rest In Power Jason David Frank, you were the G.O.A.T. RANGER! Thank you for filling my childhood with badass martial arts and super powered beatdowns!
He had 1 professional fight, and it was against a guy who was having his first professional fight as well, so I don’t know if you can call that kicking ass. Also, the guy he fought was 3 inches shorter and 50 pounds heavier.
I remember seeing this when it came out while I was in high school, all these years later and I'm still blown away!! RIP Jason, this world already feels a lot emptier without you here :(
It is awesome seeing Jason being able to cut loose. I remember him saying on a panel that fights had to be toned down for MMPR. Not just the more brutal parts of the Sentai being removed but even for original fights in or out of costume. No blows to the head or anything of the like. So it is top stuff seeing him in Ranger form using all of his training. Very cool.
I’ve always hated when something is held back by it’s kiddy nature. I feel like most household cartoons should get the samurai jack treatment to some extent.
The best part about this episode in particular is that JDF had a leg injury which is why he isn’t kicking as much or as strong as usual. It shows a great deal of skill to persist through it to deliver the fans a good fight. He really was the greatest Ranger.
So let's see...Jason David Frank broke his leg a while back before this video was shot. He was filming this with his leg on the mend. Do you still not see how BADASS JDF is?!
I spoke to him about it as well. I brought up the White Ranger vs. Scorpion thing, and he actually said he thinks Scorpion would have won that fight in real life, because the White Ranger doesn't fight dirty. He also mentioned the Darth Maul thing. That would be so WICKED PISSAH.
Matt Thornton i would actually like to see another power ranger or another one of Tommy's "ranger identities" fight Darth Maul. idk, Green and White got their moments. What u think?
InsertMusician335 By all means. I can see JDF donning the Black Dino Ranger costume again. Though I highly doubt he'd use the Zeo costume (I recall him saying that was his least favourite) and as for the Turbo costume, I think Selwyn Ward would be better suited to that role.
It must be... I was wondering why he had that sword since Jason Scott obviously destroyed it. It's weird that that cosplayer brought it up... It's not usually one of his abilities, only at first when he is under Rita's spell.. He never uses it again... Now I'm starting to wonder if that cosplayer's words were scripted/written by someone beforehand.
We can't know for sure all we knownis that in the power rangers games he is know as green ranger version 2 so maybe he got the sword back as a power up. Also when he summons the dragon dagger he gains the silver strip from fighting spirt witch wasn't a think till after dino thunder.
No one will ever replace Jason. The man adored his fans and made sure they all got the chance to meet him at cons. May he be at peace. Til we meet again

Yep, that is the one and only Jason David Frank, o Ranger Verde/Green Ranger! (and the White Ranger, and the Zeo Red, and the first Turbo Red, then finally the Dino Thunder Black Ranger)
Look, guys, I get you feel who should have won and all that, blah, blah, blah, but remember, this isn't Death Battle. They don't do research. This is a POPULARITY contest. They ask the fans who THEY think would win. If you REALLY feel this guy/girl should win over this guy/girl, go vote. If you did vote and still lost? Sorry to say, but more people like the other fighter. You just have to deal.
grandpagohan1 Yeah, this would be SO MUCH BETTER if it were sprites and made exclusively on the bias of the creator's part, with no alternate ending for the fans. After all with Death Battle, even if you have reasons to think the other character should've won, you don't get a say in the matter at all.
I will never forget the time I met you in a comic con, you were such a cool guy Jason, I looked up to you as an artist and even as a martial artist, rest in peace, may the power protect you wherever you are and know you will be missed
JageshemashFTW I found it just in ABSOLUTE poor taste, given that .... they fucked the SHIT out of the original most BADASS McBadass' suit from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger: DragonRanger, Burai! Seriously ... compared to his Sentai counterparts and all the shit they go through... Tommy is kind of a fucking pussy in comparison. What ... HE IS! The guy could NEVER fucking hope to hold the same level of badassness that his Sentai counterparts are: DragonRanger, Yamato Clan Knight Burai from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Kou of the Howling New Star from Gosei Sentai Dairanger NinjaWhite, Tsuruhime from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Captain Goro Hoshino, OhRed from Chouriki Sentai Ohranger Red Racer, Kyosuke Jinrai from Gekisou Sentai Carranger AbareBlack, Askua from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger. And trust me ... those are the roles he's the counterpart since he wore the outfit... if I listed EVERY single person he's a Pastiche to ... then trust me... Tommy is going to be AN EVER bigger pussy ass-wimp... as trust me.. they mention HEAVY-HITTERS like Big One and Abaranger.
***** Yeah, no. Sorry. When you rip into something because the character isn't like the Japanese version of the franchise, I can't call you a Sentai fan with a straight face. Power Rangers was never meant to be like it's Japanese counterparts, Mighty Morphin should've taught you that from the get go. Also, before you even think of saying anything: I have watched Zyuuranger. I think changing the Green Candle's use as a plot device was a nice twist on Saban's part in retrospect. Fucked the shit out of the Dragonranger costume? Give me a break. They made it look even more badass than it already did, and that's hard to top as it is.
It would never happen, the morphin grid only activates when rangers want to help, this was for his own gain. also, the dark sword was destroyed in the first season
Sad that a youtube channel does a better job at powering up rangers than the actual series.... Also, JDF, bro. I thought you said you were against the darker power rangers fan made video that came out a few months back because of the violence? This and the other videos aren't helping your case.
PropfetMisfit09 To be fair, this didn't seem as violent as Power/Rangers and the stabbing was more stylistic without any real gore from what I could tell.
PropfetMisfit09 it wasn't the violence. It was more so the gory killing with the point blank gunshots to the head and the blood splatter VFX on the screen. Plus the drugs and the sex.
Sad that a youtube channel does a better job? How about 20 years later since the original green ranger and a completely different studio working on the animations
PropfetMisfit09 He said he's a PG-13-guy. This battle was nothing but PG-13. No blood, no gore, no cursing... just mild violence that we can find in children movies today. He kept his word.
Not gonna lie I've watched this about 5 dozen times by now. Seeing kickass crossovers is one thing. Seeing kickass crossovers DONE RIGHT, is on a whole new level. 10/10
You say that like they had Ryu's character nailed down. Memes doesn't make you an expert, They knew two moves while they were fine with clinging onto JDF.
I would absolutely love to see The Original Red Ranger (Austin St.John) in an episode where he fights someone like Captain America (since they are both leaders of their teams) or Judge Dredd. I don't know why Dredd I just think that would be super badass. Plus Jason is the most popular Ranger next to Tommy.
+Essence Cartoon I got crazy goosebumps watching this! I was a HUGE power ranger fan back in the day. Seeing Tommy back on the screen again made my night!!!
I really like how they updated the green ranger's suit, without losing the original style. Should have done that for the suits of the 2017. reboot movie.
bgninjah while I understand what they were going for with the power suits, especially when we think of alien technology we think more sleek metallic armor rather than spandex, but at the same time I'll admit on how flawed the suits look, they look like a melted version of the iron man suit. I wish they made the suits something more like this green ranger suit in the video, while not looking like extraterrestrial armor the suits would still at least look more like battle attire for a power ranger.
The suit in the beatdown is like the original, while the new suits are meant to fit in with a darker, grittier world in which a spandex suit isn't viable in combat, you need armor.
RIP to the greatest Ranger to ever morph. The legacy Jason David Frank created will live on forever. It still doesn’t feel real, a huge part of our childhoods died today. 💔💚
I feel so broken 💔 Love you man.
Green white he was over all didn't give a fick just kicked out and looked out! Forever the goat!
He also fought cm punk in a cage fight also. My favorite white and green ranger.
RIP Legend Jason David Frank 💔💔😭😭
May the power always protect him.
He is prolly in hell bc it's a sin for every religion to kill ur self
Rip Jason David Frank, a literal icon for so many of us kids from the 90' s. For many of us there will never be another Power Ranger that commanded the screen like he did :(

Over the years he's been in something like 230 episodes + 2 movies. As for popularity overall, Adam is about the only Ranger to come close (150ish episodes) even though Billy was around more, almost 200 episodes for him.
Absolutely devastated...he legit WAS the green ranger/white ranger...Most actors are just playing a part but he embodied the character in everything he did. He was as legit of a martial artist as one can be. Above all else, he was one of the few real ones...A shining light of constant positivity that people were blessed to have, but sadly many took him for granted..I know he had people fawning over him regularly, but i really hope the people closest to him realized who they had in their lives...Im so sorry your life was so painful you had to leave like this, Jason. You will always be my original hero. You inspired me to love and practice martial arts. You brought happiness and fun into my broken childhood. Youre the reason i could throw headkicks naturally and the reason my favorite color is green. I truly feel like i lost a family member..I legit shed tears multiple times throughout the entire sad day after his passing..JDF, Your legacy will finally get the respect it deserves. People will actually see you for exactly who you were and they will miss you dearly. If you were compensated properly for portraying one of the most iconic characters of the 20th/21st centuries, and if con promoters did their fkn jobs you wouldnt have had to promote yourself tirelessly on your personal social media, which is the only reason some shallow people couldnt see you for you and hated on you for no reason. You were the genuine article. REST IN POWER, RANGER! WE LOVE YOU! JDF FOREVER!
I’m so mad finding out what happened. I like JDF and always looked up to him growing up. From all his messages that he gave out and how he would do amazing things for his fans. To find out what he did last night is heartbreaking. RIP JDF.
When you create a redesigned costume for a fan-made short movie so awesome, the owners import it to canon of the franchise. I always knew this suit would rock.
JDF still makes the same grunts and noises when he attacks as he did 20 years ago!! My nostalgic heart is overjoyed by that. Lol
I love how they have actually cast the real Tommy from Power Rangers!!! This is AWESOME!!! 👏 👏 👏
It’s a shame we’ll never get another one of these amazing super power beat down or any JDF content :/ just hope legend of the white dragon releases soon in honor of Jason as he deserves the film he worked so hard on to be released and viewed by his fans
"Sit-Eyah!" Still makes the same noises while fighting lol reminds me of my childhood
Legendary. Thank you Jason! You gave us so much content to cherish and positive vibes, no matter what you may have battled personally.
can we just get a green ranger movie? and use the o.g. Tommy JDF is still the man
He's too heavy to do those awesome kicks from back then
@@S1rWakka Huh? Did you not watch the video?
@@brucewayne8843 My fists have your blood of them
Jason David Frank has wanted to do a Green Ranger movie since forever, and he wants it to have the same tone as Logan. He says there's hope because neither Saban nor Hasbro has ever told him a straight no, but personally, I think his optimism is misplaced.
There's so much that can be done with just him alone that it would make an amazing movie
Rest In Power Jason David Frank, you were the G.O.A.T. RANGER! Thank you for filling my childhood with badass martial arts and super powered beatdowns!
To be fair, Jason actually kicked ass in the MMA ring in real life.
J
He had 1 professional fight, and it was against a guy who was having his first professional fight as well, so I don’t know if you can call that kicking ass. Also, the guy he fought was 3 inches shorter and 50 pounds heavier.
@@theneoenigma2094 He'd still probably kick my ass and your ass in less than a minute...
@@theneoenigma2094 he is still like a 5th or 6th degree blackbelt.
jdennis867 that doesn’t mean a he will be good in mma tho
I legit screamed when I saw it was actually Jason David Frank. Like, holy SHIT, that's fucking awesome.
He looks so good and that suit is bad ass
I know, right? I do kinda miss his pony-tail haircut, though.
apparently he did this with a broken leg or something
I think he broke his foot
I take it you never saw the one where he fought scorpion a few years ago?
Jason David must've felt so nostalgic wearing his Green Suit again.
We'll forever miss you, sir. A childhood icon no matter what. Thank you.
Holy shit, the original vega.
okay finally someone else caught that.
me too, he isnt too old.
I was just gonna say that! :D
+MrBoBoTom So Vega is good all of a sudden? lol
TrueJediHero
Nah, please don't ask such questions :-D
It really took me back to my childhood when he said “It’s morphin time!” Gave me the chills too!
Can we just talk about how perfect JDF is as an action movie hero, he can fight, he can act, even his appearance has the grittiness of John Wick.
I'll always love this guy, he made a huge part of my childhood. RIP Jason, may you find peace.
casting Vega from the 90's Street fighter movie was a nice bonus! 👍👍👍👍
Tyrone Montgomery no wonder he was familiar
Holy hell how did I NOT know that was the same guy!?
Awesome detail.
I remember seeing this when it came out while I was in high school, all these years later and I'm still blown away!! RIP Jason, this world already feels a lot emptier without you here :(
It is awesome seeing Jason being able to cut loose. I remember him saying on a panel that fights had to be toned down for MMPR. Not just the more brutal parts of the Sentai being removed but even for original fights in or out of costume. No blows to the head or anything of the like. So it is top stuff seeing him in Ranger form using all of his training. Very cool.
I’ve always hated when something is held back by it’s kiddy nature. I feel like most household cartoons should get the samurai jack treatment to some extent.
@@user-sx4qu4dz9z like star wars more recently. they just treat it like a kids thing when it excels when its more mature
The best part about this episode in particular is that JDF had a leg injury which is why he isn’t kicking as much or as strong as usual. It shows a great deal of skill to persist through it to deliver the fans a good fight.
He really was the greatest Ranger.
Once a Ranger, always a Ranger... Thanks for everything and rest in peace Jason David Frank.
So let's see...Jason David Frank broke his leg a while back before this video was shot. He was filming this with his leg on the mend.
Do you still not see how BADASS JDF is?!
His BADASS level is over 9000.
The Champ heck JDF even became BLOODSHOT
Well, he's always said,"You can't keep a good Ranger down."
Bakubabe29 say that to all the dead Rangers
I've seen more butt-whooped Rangers than dead ones, I dont watch the sentai much. lol. I know Kendrix from Lost Galaxy, but that's it.
Rest in peace to Jason David Frank one of my favorite rangers that ever lived!!!
I spoke to Jason David Frank at Comic Con. Apparently he's in talks with Ray Park to do a Green Ranger VS Darth Maul. Fingers crossed!
I spoke to him about it as well. I brought up the White Ranger vs. Scorpion thing, and he actually said he thinks Scorpion would have won that fight in real life, because the White Ranger doesn't fight dirty. He also mentioned the Darth Maul thing. That would be so WICKED PISSAH.
Yeah,we all know Mr.Badass Maul will win.
Darkness Awaits you know it. The force is too OP.
Matt Thornton i would actually like to see another power ranger or another one of Tommy's "ranger identities" fight Darth Maul. idk, Green and White got their moments. What u think?
InsertMusician335 By all means. I can see JDF donning the Black Dino Ranger costume again. Though I highly doubt he'd use the Zeo costume (I recall him saying that was his least favourite) and as for the Turbo costume, I think Selwyn Ward would be better suited to that role.
Rest In Peace to the greatest Ranger that ever lived. Rest easy King 🙏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽.
The world is a worse place without JDF in it.
Rip Jason David Frank one of the best rangers to ever live. A little piece of my childhood just went along with him. 😢 you will be missed
I can only assume this is Tommy while he's still under Rita's influence, since otherwise he couldn't have the sword of darkness.
It must be...
I was wondering why he had that sword since Jason Scott obviously destroyed it.
It's weird that that cosplayer brought it up...
It's not usually one of his abilities, only at first when he is under Rita's spell..
He never uses it again...
Now I'm starting to wonder if that cosplayer's words were scripted/written by someone beforehand.
He's not
@@goatyx_ It has to be, or it makes no sense.
@@milevanfaent might be Tommy before he became Lord Drakkon
We can't know for sure all we knownis that in the power rangers games he is know as green ranger version 2 so maybe he got the sword back as a power up.
Also when he summons the dragon dagger he gains the silver strip from fighting spirt witch wasn't a think till after dino thunder.
Rest in peace Tommy. Thanks for an awesome childhood. You will be missed 😢
No one will ever replace Jason. The man adored his fans and made sure they all got the chance to meet him at cons. May he be at peace. Til we meet again
Jason David frank is perfect for this he will always be a
legendary power ranger
THAT IS A FACT!!!
Amen

Will we ever see JDF come back on Super Power Beat Down to fight someone as the Red Zeo Power Ranger?
Vincent Cavo nice question
Unfortunately, He’s getting up there in age. Even Tommy can’t beat time. He missed that season.
@@Riku_Light What makes you say this? He's still fit and healthy and currently working on a new action project similar to Power Rangers.
adds39939 I know. Not saying it isn’t possible, but still.
@@Riku_Light Still what?
Is that the original actor for green ranger?
Yeah I believe so
Rafael Perez-Hernandez Yes. It is the original actor
Yep, that is the one and only Jason David Frank, o Ranger Verde/Green Ranger!
(and the White Ranger, and the Zeo Red, and the first Turbo Red, then finally the Dino Thunder Black Ranger)

RIP David Frank, thank you for making my childhood awesome
Look, guys, I get you feel who should have won and all that, blah, blah, blah, but remember, this isn't Death Battle. They don't do research. This is a POPULARITY contest. They ask the fans who THEY think would win. If you REALLY feel this guy/girl should win over this guy/girl, go vote. If you did vote and still lost? Sorry to say, but more people like the other fighter. You just have to deal.
grandpagohan1 its that simple , plus they will be getting a alternate ending so in the end everyone wins. lol
grandpagohan1 still dealing with red hoods loss, lol
grandpagohan1 Well look at that, someone who realizes how this particular series works.
grandpagohan1 Yeah, this would be SO MUCH BETTER if it were sprites and made exclusively on the bias of the creator's part, with no alternate ending for the fans.
After all with Death Battle, even if you have reasons to think the other character should've won, you don't get a say in the matter at all.
grandpagohan1 You the real MVP
The Green Ranger costume looks amazing. I would say cinema worthy quality.
Fujtajblus
Meh. Its more like CW quality, more like the CW Flash
Well it beats the hell out of the suits from the new movie.
It's like a neat combo of classic and modernized.

I love it that they got the guy who played Vega in the Street Fighter Movie.
Oregon Wrestling Observer same
Oregon Wrestling Observer ah okay. Makes sense to me now.
@Tiege Hanley You mean Taboo?
No this is Jay Tavare , the Vega from 1994
The mexican Vega. He is still in good shape, but he is a mediocre fighter and actor.
I will never forget the time I met you in a comic con, you were such a cool guy Jason, I looked up to you as an artist and even as a martial artist, rest in peace, may the power protect you wherever you are and know you will be missed
Okay, not gonna lie, I legit had a total fangasm over the redesign of the Green Ranger outfit.
It's just... I just... IT LOOKS SO FREAKING COOL!!!
JageshemashFTW Ha yeah it is pretty good.
JageshemashFTW I found it just in ABSOLUTE poor taste, given that .... they fucked the SHIT out of the original most BADASS McBadass' suit from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger: DragonRanger, Burai!
Seriously ... compared to his Sentai counterparts and all the shit they go through... Tommy is kind of a fucking pussy in comparison. What ... HE IS! The guy could NEVER fucking hope to hold the same level of badassness that his Sentai counterparts are:
DragonRanger, Yamato Clan Knight Burai from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger
Kou of the Howling New Star from Gosei Sentai Dairanger
NinjaWhite, Tsuruhime from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger
Captain Goro Hoshino, OhRed from Chouriki Sentai Ohranger
Red Racer, Kyosuke Jinrai from Gekisou Sentai Carranger
AbareBlack, Askua from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger.
And trust me ... those are the roles he's the counterpart since he wore the outfit... if I listed EVERY single person he's a Pastiche to ... then trust me... Tommy is going to be AN EVER bigger pussy ass-wimp... as trust me.. they mention HEAVY-HITTERS like Big One and Abaranger.
+Michael Saylor Someone's inner Otaku is showing...
Velen Zaiga more my inner Sentai fan is showing.
*****
Yeah, no. Sorry. When you rip into something because the character isn't like the Japanese version of the franchise, I can't call you a Sentai fan with a straight face.
Power Rangers was never meant to be like it's Japanese counterparts, Mighty Morphin should've taught you that from the get go.
Also, before you even think of saying anything: I have watched Zyuuranger. I think changing the Green Candle's use as a plot device was a nice twist on Saban's part in retrospect.
Fucked the shit out of the Dragonranger costume? Give me a break. They made it look even more badass than it already did, and that's hard to top as it is.
It made me so happy when he morphed.
TheALBox I agree. How he said it was pure legend.
It would never happen, the morphin grid only activates when rangers want to help, this was for his own gain.
also, the dark sword was destroyed in the first season
@@EramarGaming i think bat in the sun is it's onwn universe so in this he would have the.sword and don't have to be evil
Sad that a youtube channel does a better job at powering up rangers than the actual series.... Also, JDF, bro. I thought you said you were against the darker power rangers fan made video that came out a few months back because of the violence? This and the other videos aren't helping your case.
PropfetMisfit09 To be fair, this didn't seem as violent as Power/Rangers and the stabbing was more stylistic without any real gore from what I could tell.
PropfetMisfit09 it wasn't the violence. It was more so the gory killing with the point blank gunshots to the head and the blood splatter VFX on the screen. Plus the drugs and the sex.
Sad that a youtube channel does a better job? How about 20 years later since the original green ranger and a completely different studio working on the animations
PropfetMisfit09 "because of the violence" is wrong, it was because of the mature content and the realistic guns.
PropfetMisfit09
He said he's a PG-13-guy. This battle was nothing but PG-13. No blood, no gore, no cursing... just mild violence that we can find in children movies today. He kept his word.
RIP. You will be dearly missed! My childhood from the 90's
Awesome special effects, phenomenal costumes, LOVE the modern green ranger outfit, and JDF showed up to play! Perfect video!!
Not gonna lie I've watched this about 5 dozen times by now.
Seeing kickass crossovers is one thing. Seeing kickass crossovers DONE RIGHT, is on a whole new level.
10/10
Adam Fischer dude here I am in 2018 still watching this. Walking away is pure idiocy. I agree completely.
You say that like they had Ryu's character nailed down. Memes doesn't make you an expert, They knew two moves while they were fine with clinging onto JDF.
I would absolutely love to see The Original Red Ranger (Austin St.John) in an episode where he fights someone like Captain America (since they are both leaders of their teams) or Judge Dredd. I don't know why Dredd I just think that would be super badass. Plus Jason is the most popular Ranger next to Tommy.
+FireBird Films maybe Jason Versus Captain Planet for the lulz
Dennis Jones Only if Captain Planet is played by Don Cheatle XD
+FireBird Films Oooooh, that would be awesome!
+Dennis Jones Dude, yes, that needs to happen for sure hah!
I would love to see Jason take on Leonardo the leader of TMNT
thank you BITS honoring this man. he was a truly legend and huge part of so many kids and adults around the world. wish he knew that..
RIP JDF, thank you for being our childhood hero and continues to do so until the very end. Rest well...
Green Ranger is still that Dude. It never gets old.
Well ya he has played as white,green,black,red ranger
NEVER gets old
Yeah never gets gold
More like: *_"He never gets old"._*
God of evil 2 red rangers
haven't even watched just know it'll be amazing BAT IN THE SUN you are amazing thank you for the Beatdowns and all the other vids :)
john hay just adding to people hating get them to try make a vid and the sword at the end holy shiznit just was UNREAL hats off BAT IN THE SUN !!! :)
You are an amazing youtuber!
This was my first time seeing this, and I'm so glad they got the OG actor to play it. RIP Green Ranger!
That green ranger costume is sooooooo better than the shows green ranger costume.
IceHighwind this was specifically made for the fan battle
IceHighwind me too I looked at the costume I was like WHY WASN'T IT IN THE SERIES!!!?!?!?!?!
Agreed
Queen Stormfly The series was long before UA-cam even came around.. Lmao
I like the fact that they actually got Tommy on this nice
Cosmic Lion This wasn't the first time. Check out White Ranger VS Scorpion.
Cosmic Lion mpila
Dude has dedicated his life to Power Rangers. Hes a ranger in real life lol
Cosmic juju b navvy jg hccmhmycmhffhhf b vodka
Cosmic Lion I mean what other projects would he be working on anymore.
AMAZING choreography and special effects. Great job guys.
I still can't believe he took his own life. He was a staple of my childhood and one helluva MMA fighter
RIP Jason David Frank
May the Power protect you.
BADASS!!!!!
also Jason David Frank is the man! XD
***** HELL YEAH!!!
***** I met him once
***** yeah. There's even a picture of me and him floating around the Internet. That I posted
I love how everyone runs away once Tommy challenges Ryu. They know what's about to go down.
Watching these videos to pay my respects. RIP Jason, you were my inspiration in the 90's to get into martial arts.
After all this time. Jason David Frank still got the moves.
Very impressive
I haven't but I'll check out
+Essence Cartoon I got crazy goosebumps watching this! I was a HUGE power ranger fan back in the day. Seeing Tommy back on the screen again made my night!!!
caveman_35seven me too. I might just what this again a few times! 😁👍
I really like how they updated the green ranger's suit, without losing the original style. Should have done that for the suits of the 2017. reboot movie.
Destroyer of worlds Iron Man Ripoff
bgninjah while I understand what they were going for with the power suits, especially when we think of alien technology we think more sleek metallic armor rather than spandex, but at the same time I'll admit on how flawed the suits look, they look like a melted version of the iron man suit. I wish they made the suits something more like this green ranger suit in the video, while not looking like extraterrestrial armor the suits would still at least look more like battle attire for a power ranger.
bgninjah Ardm,jh ore
RIP thank you for making childhood that much more special
that was tight the way the helmet changed color when pulled out the dragon dagger
Huh is it me or does that green ranger suit look better than the new ranger suits for the 2017 movie?
The suit in the beatdown is like the original, while the new suits are meant to fit in with a darker, grittier world in which a spandex suit isn't viable in combat, you need armor.
^This. My thoughts exactly.
this is popularity contest not real but still cool to watch
This isn't real? Fuck I thought it was.
+Nathan Baxter he meant real skills fight
+Nathan Baxter da this stuff isn't real it is acting and I saw behind of scenes video and it is all fake
did.... you think it was all real? ryu is a video game character.
wait...2 people that don't exist aren't REALLY fighting?
Not a day goes past where I don't miss this man.
