But remember, the Power Rangers had to sign exclusive contracts with Sabaan. Thats why you never saw them in other shows/movies.

The rest of the power rangers all washed.
It’s Ironic how she turned down so many good roles, because she didn’t want to be a supporting actress. Yet, almost all of her roles have been supporting parts

Master P spoke on this a while back. Some of these rappers are throwing away good money by trying to be so damn "thug". You could have a sitcom, or something. Even a small role on a television show yields more money than what they're getting from record sales. And, it could open up a world of possibilities.
True. Eddie Murphy was the 1st choice to voice Roger Rabbit. He turned it down, thinking it stupid to voice a cartoon. He regrets it, seeing how much it blew up. Everytime he sees it on TV he says he either cries or wants to punch tv set LOL
kurtis1149 im a 80’s baby did most of my growing up in the 90’s...and you spoke the truth...in the 90’s even kids my age at the time felt anything not hood was corny....now you got thugs who talk about DBZ on the normal....i was like were y’all been when my child hood was in the 90’s
You right about that. I used to skateboard and was heavy into computers. Everybody called me lame and a nerd my nickname was Whiteboy to some. Now every gangster and they ogs online.
The first blue ranger "Billy" was homosexual, he would keave the set because the writers, producers, etc. Made homophobic slurs to him alot. "Zach" the first black ranger was missing a finger, and the first yellow ranger "Trini" died in her late twenties in a car accident.
Karan Ashley (the actress who eventually did become the first black girl power ranger) still gets paid to this day for coming to conventions as the yellow ranger. Honestly I think Karan was the better fit cause I couldn’t see PJP doing karate, all those crazy superhero poses and typical power rangers dialogue. Money would’ve been nice tho.
Denard Bennett just thought it would've been cool to have the girl from Friday as a power ranger, would've did great for the portrayal of black women in film n stuff like that
@@norenttv_Amy Jo Johnson said in so many words that power rangers impeded her acting career because it was a non union kids show and it was harder for her to get other roles. I think this is why she only does appearances with certain actors. I’m sure it would’ve been harder for Paula to jump from power rangers to Friday. Nakia Burrise (yellow Zeo Ranger) is an amazing actress but it bothers me why she’s not on bigger shows.

Too often black people think everything had to be gangsta or ghetto to be cool and we limit ourselves and miss out on great opportunities and growth. I'm just saying. We need to expand our world view.
its the price of being a community dominated by single mothers and having a culture where the poverty lifestyle is aggressively promoted. Women typically do not think past their immediate surroundings and unfortunately they tend to raise their kids to think the same way.
New Pac hmm how so it’s just like saying lame she used it in the correct context and at the time the power rangers graphics, background etc were corny as hell I can see why she turned it down
She should've taken more roles. I only remember her from Friday and maybe 1 one other movie. I couldn't believe in one of the last clips she was acting like her scene on the phone with her bf with another man in her bed while she accuses her bf of cheating was some great moment in women's empowerment. Lol
Everyone should see her in the movie "Sprung". It is a great movie. Her and Tisha Campbell, their chemistry, fun antics, etc. It's a comedic love story.
She would have been the Finnest Yellow power ranger! and STILL GETTING A CHECK TODAY, COMIC CON AND EVERYTHING. She wouldve been GREAT IN RAY AS THAT LIGHT SKINNED MISTRESS WHO THROUGH THE BRICK AT THE CAR LOL
“I got married and I found stability”....Fellas, they don’t love like we do, they look for stability more times than not. We’re tools lol. It’s in their DNA from ancient times. Survival instinct.
You can never lose points for doing a action TV show for kids.. She shot herself in the foot. The royalties off that would've been lovely. That's Power Rangers 😂 kids are born everyday B!
Paula: I thought the Power Rangers were corny! Bill Duke: You know you done fucked up right? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 All the Power Rangers still make money for appearances and conventions even 25+ years later.
Those actors/actresses now make bank every week traveling the world for conventions. Yet if she not working she not making money. They always will make money
There’s Amy Jo Johnson aka Kimberly was on that show Flashpoint for 4 seasons. There are a few that have started in blockbuster movies and/or TV but most of them make around 2 - 5 grand going to comic conventions and we can’t forget the money their making from the PR merchandise and toy sales
@@SunjayI Wrong. Jason David is the best known Power Ranger. He is not the most successful. He actually didn't do much TV/Movies at all after the show.
@@FlameWingMan Wrong, the best Pink Ranger, Erin Cahill. The leader of Power Rangers Time Force went on to be a working actress more than Kimberly. Look up her credits.
Brandon Jay McLaren (PR: SPD) and Erin Cahill (PR: Time Force) are some of the top working actors on TV from the show. And that chick from that show "I, Zombie".
I had the biggest crush on this woman as a kid. To find out she was kind of a poser and was attracted to hood things like a magnet is disappointing. Could have been a Gabrielle Union or even better a Zoe Saldana. But the fact that she’d rather be remembered for Sprung, Woo and Friday breaks my heart. Power Rangers would have been massive for her.
I always wondered why her trajectory wasn't greater. She was in alot of supporting roles but never the lead. Kinda typecasted as the ghetto girl or hoochie or bourgeois chick. But look at Taraji: she had similar supporting roles but picked up steam as she got older. Keep the faith, boo? U talented!
Hollywood only allows one or 2 niggas at a time to come up on something. It's like a game of musical chairs only it's hundreds of people vying for 1 maybe 2 chairs.
I always thought being an actor, correction a working actor, you would take these roles offered to you. Maybe her career would have been different today. But she seems happy doing these interviews. I hope life is being good to her and all of you reading this comment. Also, I loved her on that P.I. show (Snoops the 1999 tv series by David E. Kelly, not the 1989 series of the same name) she did with Gina Gershon, Danny Nucci and Paula Marshall. It lasted one season. 13 episodes total, w/3 unaired. 😎
Wat u mean a streaming a deal is something that Netflix and hulu offers produce shows and movies ppl and stead of it coming on tv or in the movies it comes on there streaming platforms and people stream movies the same way they streaming music and in streaming u get less money on the backend then u would if someone actually buys the DVD and shes not a lead in her movies she just a supporter so shes not seeing no money at all really if some 1 is streaming a movie shes in so like she said it better 2 get a executive producer credit so u can make money from a movie that's being streamed
I forgot she did play in that one Spike Lee movie where dude was knocking up all them females I can't think of the name of the movie but it'll come to me but she was off the hook in that movie.
Girl!!! That would of made you a LEGEND... I could really see you doing that... With your range you could of turned it around for you... Even tho she's truly blessed
I don't care what anyone else says Sprung has the best sex scene in Cinematic History! "Adina, Adina, Say Adina..." "What's that a double, a triple," "I see you biting your tongue trying to last GET EM' UP!!" Sidenote: From Sprung to Power Rangers in the same conversation..."Gotta love it."
Who was advising her? Black female actresses can’t be too selective in this industry. I don’t expect them to degrade themselves, but their shelf life isn’t that long. I’ve always admire her acting and believed she short changed herself. It’s unfortunate she was never given the opportunity to show her range as an actress. Hopefully she’ll re-invent herself via writing and directing.
So she turned down the Power Rangers because she thought they were corny. Paula Jai Parker is great actress. I love her work. But this is how potential A-list become D-list. 25 years. Smh. I guess we'll just have to continue seeing you on TV One and BET.
Power rangers is one of those things you get a check for even after you die, kid shows always produce cash.

They didnt make much money from it though. Their contracts kept them from making the money they should of made
Those 90s-2000s old power rangers never on Tv, nor considered on streaming services, their not classics, now if it was Cailou yea,
Niles Stevenson lol they still classics
It’s Ironic how she turned down so many good roles, because she didn’t want to be a supporting actress. Yet, almost all of her roles have been supporting parts
Complete oxymoron 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
There is nothing wrong with knowing your worth and wanting to strive for something better
do you niggas even watch the clips? She was eventually offered big roles but was too scared to take them!
She gotten lead roles but she didn’t want the fame that comes with it. She just wanted to be known for acting not so much for being a celebrity.
Kids in the 90s loved the Power Rangers 😂
Regrettably yes
Well, the success was great for Saban but not as much for the actors.

That’s because both movies have the same Director.

Except Tisha

So she turned down the Power Rangers because she thought they were corny. Paula Jai Parker is great actress. I love her work. But this is how potential A-list become D-list. 25 years. Smh. I guess we'll just have to continue seeing you on TV One and BET.
I’m glad she turned it down. Karan Ashley blessed my childhood being my first crush ❤
took degrading roles over a corny role makes sense lol
