I would suggest doug to watch light speed rescue or time force but he might think the acting is too generic...but those 2 seasons really feel serious and the stakes feel big....i think most people would enjoy power rangers in space, lightspeed rescue and time force...those are my 3 go to seasons.....they arent generic....they feel like real dramatic shows with weight and no psa's..and they have adults as the rangers....and the characters drama and even jokes aren't bad..
That's how I felt when I discovered Linkara's history of power rangers a few years back. I've always been a fan, but him combined with the legacy toy line kicked it back into overdrive!
It was changed to 'Hero' in the UK because at the time they thought we wouldn't know what 'Ninja' was. You know, the same reason the US turned 'Philosopher' into 'Sorcerer' for Harry Potter. It all comes down to crusty old studio executives being completely out of touch in all countries.

Channel Awesome You guys should give PR a chance. Try watching one of the better seasons like RPM, In Space, Time Force or S.P.D. You can't judge the entire franchise by only the first season. Or if you need something to tear apart, you can always use Megaforce.
***** if you mean five minutes of megaforce I understand but five minutes of Time force or In space, you can't judge a show by five minutes of it. It's like if I were to judge dragon ball by 5 minutes of a bad episode. Hell, on time force the red ranger DIES in the 1st 5 minutes.
***** You have your opinion and I have mine. Even though I like Power Rangers, I may not agree with your opinion but I still respect your opinion. Everyone has a different opinion.
The UK thing you guys are thinking off is the BBFC banned the use of nunchucks in film. This came after a few robberies and attacks using them (although the person involved was more influenced by A Clockwork Orange). TMNT2 was censored in a way that a shot with sausages being used as nunchucks was cut. The ban has now been lifted.
Lotus Prince Yep they did. As I have previously mentioned, that restriction had been lifted. Also this was during the 'imitable behaviour' hysteria that came over from the US.
Lotus Prince Doesn't mean there isn't equally dumb stuff going on elsewhere though. I mean, just look at the recent ban of Civil War games on the apple store because it had the confederate flag in it.
Channel Awesome Ivan Ooze is a big point I think Doug and Rob overlook given their love for over dramatic british villain roles, given their latest behind the scenes from Jupiter Ascending, and that Paul Freeman who played Belloq gives one that could easily be up there with Jeremy Irons or Freddy Redmane.
If those two knew back then, they would be amaze that the original source of Power Rangers (also known as Super Sentai) have lasted for more than 40 years and it's still growing strong. They are in their 39th series (if you don't count the two seasons of the unofficial sentai).
Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz I'm more Garo and Kamen Rider fan, but yes. You are correct! Also they have good time now, as most series since time of Shinkenger are quite decent.
TheRezro Eh, even Sentai kinda fudges that number since the first three series were retroactively put into the franchise and the first series went for multiple seasons as opposed to just one year now.
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, is essentially what would have been the first two episodes of the new series strung together into kinda a TV movie special. So you are both very correct on this fact. The original MMPR movie was a departure, almost an AU of the Television show. And fox caught flack for that back when the first movie came out. Especially considering the subsequent season of the TV show after the movie took the "ninjetti" concept in a different direction than what we saw in the movie. But I do agree, objectively, the first film is better than the second, because at least they tried.
Flash Frame I liked the turbo movie. until I watched the review and realized I had forgotten about the first half of the movie. The first one I hated for the ninja animal thing. made know sense to me. Only one that did the new zord thing good was wildforce since the zords were actually sentient.
If that is you're opinion on power rangers, than I can live with it. But to the fans who grew up with it, it's more than that. Yeah we know it's goofy and strange from time to time. But over the years it grew into something more. For me it's what helped me get through a tough childhood. Every day when I came home from a day of getting my ass kicked at school. I would just watch the show and it would always make me feel better. It helped me know between right and wrong. And gave me the confidence I needed to join a karate class and start learning how to protect myself. 9 years later I'm as any black belt. This is just coming from a die hard fan because I've watched the show ever since I was 3 (I'm almost 19 now). But still critic I love your videos and your point out flaws in any movie and make a harmless joke out of it. The only reason I'm not telling you off for dissing the power rangers (seriously if you ever go to a power morphicon and say the show sucks. I can imagine it'll end up just like that little review you did on ponyo.) It's because I don't need too. They've been around for 20 years and still going strong. So I don't need to defend them to you. They're doing just fine without your opinion or approval.
Speaking of Tommy, he made his own kind of documentary series about what it was like being on Power Rangers. He actually had to learn martial arts and actually did teach them to people who paid him for a time (I don't know if he still does).
If you will ever give Power Rangers a shot may I recommend Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers Time Force In that order, yes I know that's alot but for 40 episodes for each season the tell compelling, good character's (most of the time), somewhat good acting but Doug if you are reading this please consider it not for your reaction but so I can see Critic's opinion and watch Critic try to tear three of my most favorite show's of all time (and the reason for watching them in order is crossover episodes and no they're not spoilers because every season does it).
I remember being about 14 and realizing that "little kid" movies could actually be cool... that I could see the beauty in them and I didn't have to constantly make fun of them in order to be a grown-up. It was earth-shattering.
As a Brit, I found your take on the House of Lords hilarious, so no worries. (As far as I'm aware, most fans of the series don't really like either movie.)
I will always wanted to see these 2 guys thought's on British kids show's like just see there reaction to it because we had some good stuff and then we just had stuff that just like what the hell where we even watching!
i love rob's response when he finds out they are talking about the power rangers movies its like the moment in a game of magic the gathering where somebody has done a really jank combo and you've realized you lose when it goes off its always funny to watch
That first Power ranger movie had issues but the second one seemed even worst! Although it DID feel more like a Power rangers episode. This new movie looks good but sounds like it will be more about the kids' drama rather then the Power rangers themselves. And I like the hand to hand combat in Power rangers too!
The actors were all okay at least and Amy Jo Johnson was (and still is) great. As for the movies, the first one, in my opinion, wasn't that bad, it was a 5/10 for me (and as a kid, it was a10/10); I hate the second one, though.
Philippe Parle Peu i still enjoy the first movie. its a film for teh fans i still enjoy it as much as i did as a kid. as a power rangers film its a 7/10 but as a film in general its like a 6.2/10 for me. and the plot felt like a movie Turbo was ehhh As a kid and to this day i still see it as a 5./10 as both a rangers and move in general the practicial effects instead of the bad CGI but the weird plot quirks and lack of action was kinda turn off for me
The original Japanese Sentai changed the entire cast every year (which Power Rangers didn't adopt fully until Lost Galaxy but pretty much started with Turbo) and has actually had several kids play Rangers. Both MMPR White Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger were little kids in the original.
So, question for the masses since I never watched Power Rangers: Is it all technically one continuous show, just with different banners kind of like Pokemon (although that may be wrong, after the Orange League I was out), or are they separate series that share a universe kind of like Star Trek?
It is for the most part it is one continuity. There are references to other seasons and some seasons even have team up episodes with previous season's team. There is one season that takes place in an alternate universe, but that's it.
Omar Enrique Hey, I'm 28 years-old and I still love Power Rangers, except for Turbo, Wild Force, Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive and the previous Neo-Saban-era Power Rangers seasons before Dino Charge.
Xaviergray87 At 28 you wuld have been about the right age for it. TMNT (well, it was TMHT for me then) was dropping of in popularity at the time, and Power Rangers was on the rise. I guess the US broadcast the show before it was around in the UK. I was certainly too old for it by the time it was broadcast. And I'm 33, too.
Only the original cartoon was censored over here. Everything else is Ninja. I think it may have influenced Mikey using his chucks less over the course of the series though.
My first and most nostalgic villain that I fell in love with was Ivan Ooze. At the time, Gak was being produced and sold as well as other similar products. I'm not sure if they ever sold Ooze in that form, but if not they should have. Either way, because of that time of my life revolving around things like the creepy crawlers ez-bake oven ripoff, Gak, and other slimy gross products that were marketed towards young boys in the 90's, I loved the idea of Ivan Ooze. Of course, the fact that I was at an age where not very many movies could capture my attention for long helped a bit.
I was probably like a year or less old when Power Rangers first debuted, so I think I started watching at around Zeo or Turbo in '95 or '96. I was hooked instantly, and even as a kid I watched a bit of Mighty Morphin', but the movies I really liked, even if they weren't all that good. Though nothing can top the original megazord of course, I wanna say my favorite was the thunder megazord from the second season, since it was a dragon that could turn into a warrior, and then suit up with the other zords.
Doug and Rob, I am a Brit and yes in the eighties it was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. My old man had an annual which had that title on it, in the nineties it went back to the original title. But yes, it definitely was Hero as opposed to Ninja for a time.
I'm 33 and Power Rangers was at the cusp of childhood shows. Some in my class / age range jumped on it, some didn't. I didn't. X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man were the latest shows to get on it and it stopped there.
Johnny Yong Bosch got his justice when he gets TWO returns to the show and they both were really good. His first return actually gave him an arc, and he acted well in it. And even though his other return was in a terrible episode, he was one of the good parts of it.
Ive seen all of the power ranger shows. They get progressively better in my eyes even if I didnt completely follow the transfer at times. But if you get attached to the idea of power rangers like I did it means a bit more. Like seeing Kimberly become evil hurt a bit. On the other hand Tommy in Dinoforce made me squee so hard. I also like how you can tell all interconnected the series are.
I liked Zyuranger. That's pretty much the only sentai season I've seen in whole. I actually think Dairanger is better, even though I haven't seen it all, I saw the first episode and I liked it.
One of my favorite Power Rangers seasons is In Space. I love the space aspect, The Red Ranger Andros has a good character arc. All the Villains from Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo come together with new villains. In fact, after Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo this was at first supposed to be the final power rangers season but clearly they made more.
I like getting your guys thoughts on the movies. Being a big fan of the show since it came out, I always find it interesting to see what the opinions of others are for the films. I do agree that there is a difference in quality in the two films many because of when they were made. With MMPR, this was 1995 and the shows chance to launch as a big media franchise after making billions of dollars just on the last two years of sales. This was also a means of getting fans prepared for the 3rd season where the powers would change by giving us a sneak peek at powers and concepts. This would change when we get to the actual series. The Turbo movie, on the other hand, feels like the TV show because it's set in the TV show. The film was meant as an actual bridge between the previous season, Power Rangers Zeo, and the next season that was about to start that fall. The first episode of Power Rangers Turbo has a whole 3 minute montage of the movie as the group is explaining to Rocky what happened while preparing for graduation. Both are aimed at doing things differently based on the budgets provided and what impact it was meant to have on the series. Whether it was a work giving the show a big screen polish or continue the series with a theatrical event, if you were of the age and of the fandom that can see how things work, it's a great experience. I love both movies and I could explain some of the stuff that happened in the movies for what could be logical reasons per the show's concepts.
To Rob, I would recommend Super Sentai, the parent of Power Rangers where all the stock footage comes from. Often times the Sentai seasons are better than their Power Rangers equivalent. I would especially recommend the 35th season Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger since it is 35 flavors of badass. It is an anniversary season, but they explain the cameos and fan service so new viewers don't get lost. I am a Power Rangers for life guy (even during its worst seasons like Overdrive and Megaforce), but there's no denying that Super Sentai (usually) has better stories. (Don't watch Dairanger though)
The "Hero instead of Ninja" rule was only in the UK, but since there was basically only one PAL converted version, all of Europe got the same Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (at least for the first few seasons).
I liked Power Rangers when I was a little kid. I grew out of it when I was 11. I recently revisited the show to see how it holds up, it doesn't hold up well not to my surprise.
I'm not sure about the "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" thing. Here in Italy it was called "Tartarughe Ninja" (Ninja Turtles), so it clearly wasn't applied, though I remember being puzzled since I had a coloring book or a poster or something that did have "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles", so it's possible that it was only on merchandise, or, most likely, it was only in the UK or some other specific country.
I loved Zeo and still check in on what they come up every season or so. As for the power rangers movie (the first one) Those suits were pretty cool looking.
As a little kid I always found out-of-suits teenager parts boring (minus Bulk & Skull's hammy performances). Was very entertained whenever the show involved the power ranger suits, the zords, Zordon, or the villains. Yeah even then I knew it was corny as hell, but at its best it was some awesomely stupid that I didn't care and enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. I haven't really watched it in a while (aside from occasional UA-cam clips, parodies, or reviews for nostalgia sake), but I still look back on it with fun memories.
One of my favorite seasons is power rangers in space. I love the space aspect and the red ranger andros has a great character arc. All the villains from Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo come together with new villains too. In fact, after Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo Power rangers was supposed to end with Power Rangers in Space but, that idea quickly went to making more.
The giant robots are my favorite parts too. Especially the combination sequences. Japan I think was the originator of the "combination sequence" in their mecha shows. And Power Rangers is no exception.
Many people died during the great Ninja Massacaru of the 1900s! A combination of strict weapon laws and the banning of Ninjutsu as a spiritual movement led to the underground growth of organised Shinobi mafia-like organisations. Those were some dark times. I'd be a little more sensitive about mocking the UK's relationship with ninjas =(
From what I understand Turbo was meant to launch the series of the same name. Which is why Zordon looked so bizarre and didn't morph. The first film was a big budget version of the show to "officially end" season 2
The part when Adam (the ranger Bosch played) complained about him being the frog: That was his idea. From what I read, he and the rest of crew must've had a blast when making this movie. It was Turbo where they didn't give him much freedom to enjoy the role.
24:00 Meh, even as a little kid I never really cared for the Flinetsones. I didn't hate it or anything, but like what Doug said, I just never really got into it. Though to be fair by the time I was a little kid cartoons and sit-come were pretty oversaturdated so Flinestones had a lot of competition for my 7 year-old attention.
In greece it was TMNT, the full name. Apparently we didn't have a ninja problem here. It's weird because we were getting every show translated from a different source. For example dragon ball was translated from the italian version and dragon ball Z had a season that had a french song...
I'm gonna sound so lame but I actually unironically love Adam's mini van. There's just something about the shape and design that pleases me. Besides, that one can hold more people if they need to! ...Not that any of the cars actually did anything but you know what I mean
Out of curiosity, did either of you two ever see (or hear) of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers crossover? I remember it as a kid and it was really weird to see
I used to play Power Rangers with my friends back in the first grade. There was a tree in the back corner of the playground with a big round knothole in it, and that was our Zordon. The problem was we were a group of girls, and we all wanted to be the Pink Ranger.
Don't worry you two. The first Power Rangers movie, though still popular enough, was weird. I was a fan as a kid and remember being confused by many of the choices made in the movie. The pig villain for instance. I never understood why he was there when he never appeared in the show.
To be fair with Justin (the Turbo Blue Ranger), he's the one who was most of the time aware of the enemies' actions, and contacting the other rangers.Plus, he had some action scenes, without the suit, and still could hold some villains on his own. He's not your typical dumbass in distress.
One of the rumors why the word ¨ninja¨ was banned in UK and Europe in late 90s was, a kid killed someone with a nunchuck by accident and Ninja would refer to weapons of such therefor banned.
The only thing I really like about the movie is the new plated suits. They looked really nice and it was something properly original as those suits didn't exist in the original Zyuranger.
There was a Sentai show that used a kid and that was the White Ranger in the first movie. Yeah, they used an adult when it was originally a kid, and then for the second movie for the Blue Ranger they used a kid when it originally was an adult.
When Power Rangers debuted in 1993 I was just outside of 10 years old. So I did watch Power Rangers as I got older I do see how corny the show is, but when I realized that I'm 10 years older then the show I went on a Ranger Retrospective just to say that I've seen all the series, and I've realized why I liked it as a kid. It's corny but fun minus a couple seasons. As far as both movies go the first one is somewhat good even if it has bad CGI. The second one Turbo is bad. Not just the movie but the series as well. But you got to admit that weather you like it or you don't it's the most sucessful kids show ever. Not a lot of kids shows stay on the air for over 20 years.
I like the goseigers and gekirangers and maskman several years ago, but I haven't watched all of them and the older ones are so hard to find where it is subbed in English...
The outlawing of Ninjas was actually a pretty big debate. It didn't help that 'Loose Women' was the only outlet that could get a ninja for interview without half the crew dissapearing a few days afterwards.
Not all seasons are as campy as Mighty Morphin', like Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, etc. I totally recommend you guys check out other seasons. But if you need something Power Rangers to make fun of *cough* Megaforce *cough*. BTW love your channel.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was my generation - it premiered when I was six, but even I don't have fond memories of it, 'cause my mom strictly forbid me to watch it. "It's too violent!" she said, apparently out of the fear that I'd start roundhouse kicking my sister if I laid eyes on it. I didn't even like gym class, what made her think I'd want to start fighting? But now that bit at the end has got me curious to hear your real thoughts on the live-action Flintstones movie.
From what I heard, the White Ranger in the Japanese (who is from a different Super Sentai series than the MMPR were) was a kid out of the suit. It was the same thing as the American blue Turbo Ranger. So, the Japanese are guilty of this, too...and did it first.
I would've loved to hear their thoughts on the dark and violent Power Rangers short film that came out earlier this year. Doug even shared it on his FB page, and said he loved it, even though he's not a Power Rangers fan.
As a kid I thought the Flintstones was... okay. It was passable, but I had many other shows that I liked more. One thing I absolutely loved about the Flintstones though was the sound effects.
Funny Thing Goranger the first sentai show was just insane because all the monsters were like with mask in them like Warship Mask,Can Opener Mask,Baseball Mask and so on look it up
Rob's grasp on British politics is uncanny. I do remember 'TMHT', the opening was changed a little; over dubbing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles": replacing shots of nunchucks, and changing the morphing-logo-thing to a dissolve effect . "Splinter taught them to be ni-fighting teens"
To be fair, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lasted for almost a decade while Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers went on for three seasons before Power Rangers Zeo.
I grew up with Power Rangers and will listen to the theme song quite a bit here on UA-cam. As much as I enjoyed it then, I highly doubt I could sit through an entire episode now without laughing or losing interest part way through. Like you guys said, you have to be at the right age or else, it aint workin
I grew up with PowerRangers (and to this day I still see MightyMorphin as the best) and while the movie had a lot of non-connon stuff in it, I thought the suits, Lord Zedd and Zordon were superior in the first movie. As for the Turbo movie, I question the ship as well. And the two former rangers were Jason and Kimberly. As for the Flintstones Movie: Viva RockVagas. I couldn't get through it because The Great Gazoo's animation - particularly the face - terrified me. And I watched is as an adult.
Yes most fans like the show for its corniness but it gets dark at some times hell they kill of a power ranger at one point. It's a good show I collect everything involving the show and I'm happy to say I'm good friends with a few of the actors...hell I run lord zedds voice actors Facebook page it's a blast to be involved with the show and it's fanbase but agree if you didn't grow up with it you most likely wouldn't enjoy it.
Interesting fact about Britain's ban on "Ninja's", although this may have nothing to do with the rebranding of the Turtles in the UK. In the 70's when Kung-Fun was highly popular in Britain, a comedy show (and a bloody good show) called The Goodies did a parody of the Kung-Fun craze by making there own Kung-Fu art called Ecky-Thump - or just hitting people over the heads with black pudding. And in the episode two of the Goodies decided to go up against the third Goodie with their multiple Kung-Fu martial arts and when one of them dressed up as a Scotsman and used his bagpipes as a weapon, an old man actually died from laughter at the scene.
To explain, the second movie actually worked as a bridge between Power Rangers Zeo and Turbo. Also, I hear they changed TMNT to TMHT because ninjas "glorify assassins".
I'm sorry, but I had to stop when you said it's "obviously stupid". I don't understand why you have no respect for the franchise. However, I am willing to discuss the matter with you further if you wish to on my channel.
But the thing is, it is "obviously stupid". They're teenagers who transform into spandex-wearing heroes while spitting out one-liners for crying out loud.
Patrick imnottellingyou It's no different from Superman, Batman, Ironman, Spiderman or any other superhero. I mean a "teenager who transform into spandex-wearing heroe while spitting out one-liners" is EXACTLY Spiderman!
Rickey Layman Respect to something what "borrow" half footage from different show? This series don't have respect for itself, and you expect something like that from someone else? Also something "obviously stupid" in something what meant to be obviously stupid isn't flaw.
I remember growing up with ninja storm and dino thunder. I am 15 and still enjoy the older rangers. Mighty Morphin, Dino Thunder, Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury, etc.
TheRezro How dose the series not have respect for itself? Adapting Japanese footage from a Japanese TV show for an American audience dose not mean it lacks respect. Look at anime.
I remember seeing it when I was around 6 or 7, and even then, I thought, "what the hell am I watching?" But nowadays I can see why some people would like it, even though I personally still don't.
As a kid I loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and I thought Kimberly looked really hot wearing those clothes in the beginning of the movie. The CGI for the ninja zords and the ninja megazord looked awful. But can't go wrong with their suits though. Oh by the way in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, along with Amy Jo Johnson the other actor was Austin St. John who played Jason the former MMPR red ranger and zeo gold ranger. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie was not that bad.
jurassic park had good impact on the t rex, i think because they had a real jeep in the shots and its probably getting knocked around by a tool edited out blue screen, like Lt. dans legs P.S. in the sentai with the white ranger, the white ranger is played by a kid in the japanese version and he turns into a grown up just like this
I'd like to thank Linkara for reviving my interest in Power Rangers after a long hiatus.
Me too! His HOPR videos are AWESOME!!!
Christian Neihart I actually watched RPM in its entirety because of Linkara's HOPR videos on it. Time well spent, all things considered.
Christian Neihart Agreed.
I would suggest doug to watch light speed rescue or time force but he might think the acting is too generic...but those 2 seasons really feel serious and the stakes feel big....i think most people would enjoy power rangers in space, lightspeed rescue and time force...those are my 3 go to seasons.....they arent generic....they feel like real dramatic shows with weight and no psa's..and they have adults as the rangers....and the characters drama and even jokes aren't bad..
That's how I felt when I discovered Linkara's history of power rangers a few years back. I've always been a fan, but him combined with the legacy toy line kicked it back into overdrive!
It was changed to 'Hero' in the UK because at the time they thought we wouldn't know what 'Ninja' was. You know, the same reason the US turned 'Philosopher' into 'Sorcerer' for Harry Potter. It all comes down to crusty old studio executives being completely out of touch in all countries.
Actually it was a conservative ban on ninjas abs ninja related items due to fear mongering

You guys should give PR a chance. Try watching one of the better seasons like RPM, In Space, Time Force or S.P.D. You can't judge the entire franchise by only the first season. Or if you need something to tear apart, you can always use Megaforce.
***** if you mean five minutes of megaforce I understand but five minutes of Time force or In space, you can't judge a show by five minutes of it. It's like if I were to judge dragon ball by 5 minutes of a bad episode. Hell, on time force the red ranger DIES in the 1st 5 minutes.
***** You have your opinion and I have mine. Even though I like Power Rangers, I may not agree with your opinion but I still respect your opinion. Everyone has a different opinion.
I never really cared for Power Rangers, but I did enjoy S.P.D.

Ice Climber Woah, seriously? They censored NOT nunchucks?
Lotus Prince That's the nanny state for you, just assuming your too stupid to know the difference ;)
Lotus Prince Yep they did.
As I have previously mentioned, that restriction had been lifted. Also this was during the 'imitable behaviour' hysteria that came over from the US.
Ice Climber Ugh. I'm glad that people in 2015 are finally starting to realize that that's stupid. :-P
Lotus Prince Doesn't mean there isn't equally dumb stuff going on elsewhere though. I mean, just look at the recent ban of Civil War games on the apple store because it had the confederate flag in it.
I don't know. I thought Ivan ooze was a awesome villain though.
***** yes when I was little ivan ooze was always my favorite villain
***** You have low expectation do you?
***** I liked him as a villain too.
TheRezro Well its a power ranger movie so yeah.
Channel Awesome Ivan Ooze is a big point I think Doug and Rob overlook given their love for over dramatic british villain roles, given their latest behind the scenes from Jupiter Ascending, and that Paul Freeman who played Belloq gives one that could easily be up there with Jeremy Irons or Freddy Redmane.
If those two knew back then, they would be amaze that the original source of Power Rangers (also known as Super Sentai) have lasted for more than 40 years and it's still growing strong. They are in their 39th series (if you don't count the two seasons of the unofficial sentai).
Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz I'm more Garo and Kamen Rider fan, but yes. You are correct! Also they have good time now, as most series since time of Shinkenger are quite decent.
Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz I thought Gokaiger is the 39th.
TLCBonaparte No, it was 35'th. You maybe referee to fact that Saban is typically few series behind, though they should move to Kyoryuger until now.
TheRezro I'm a huge Garo fan myself and Kamen Rider is really good (though I'm a few series behind)
TheRezro Eh, even Sentai kinda fudges that number since the first three series were retroactively put into the franchise and the first series went for multiple seasons as opposed to just one year now.
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, is essentially what would have been the first two episodes of the new series strung together into kinda a TV movie special. So you are both very correct on this fact.
The original MMPR movie was a departure, almost an AU of the Television show. And fox caught flack for that back when the first movie came out. Especially considering the subsequent season of the TV show after the movie took the "ninjetti" concept in a different direction than what we saw in the movie.
But I do agree, objectively, the first film is better than the second, because at least they tried.
Flash Frame First 4 and a half episodes (it's a 1hr 40 minute running time. 4x22=88. 22/2 = 11=99 minutes)
Flash Frame I liked the turbo movie. until I watched the review and realized I had forgotten about the first half of the movie. The first one I hated for the ninja animal thing. made know sense to me. Only one that did the new zord thing good was wildforce since the zords were actually sentient.
If that is you're opinion on power rangers, than I can live with it. But to the fans who grew up with it, it's more than that. Yeah we know it's goofy and strange from time to time. But over the years it grew into something more. For me it's what helped me get through a tough childhood. Every day when I came home from a day of getting my ass kicked at school. I would just watch the show and it would always make me feel better. It helped me know between right and wrong. And gave me the confidence I needed to join a karate class and start learning how to protect myself. 9 years later I'm as any black belt. This is just coming from a die hard fan because I've watched the show ever since I was 3 (I'm almost 19 now). But still critic I love your videos and your point out flaws in any movie and make a harmless joke out of it. The only reason I'm not telling you off for dissing the power rangers (seriously if you ever go to a power morphicon and say the show sucks. I can imagine it'll end up just like that little review you did on ponyo.) It's because I don't need too. They've been around for 20 years and still going strong. So I don't need to defend them to you. They're doing just fine without your opinion or approval.
Speaking of Tommy, he made his own kind of documentary series about what it was like being on Power Rangers. He actually had to learn martial arts and actually did teach them to people who paid him for a time (I don't know if he still does).
The 20th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie was Tuesday. That would've been a good release date for this video
If you will ever give Power Rangers a shot may I recommend
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Power Rangers Time Force
In that order, yes I know that's alot but for 40 episodes for each season the tell compelling, good character's (most of the time), somewhat good acting but Doug if you are reading this please consider it not for your reaction but so I can see Critic's opinion and watch Critic try to tear three of my most favorite show's of all time (and the reason for watching them in order is crossover episodes and no they're not spoilers because every season does it).
I remember being about 14 and realizing that "little kid" movies could actually be cool... that I could see the beauty in them and I didn't have to constantly make fun of them in order to be a grown-up. It was earth-shattering.
As a Brit, I found your take on the House of Lords hilarious, so no worries.
(As far as I'm aware, most fans of the series don't really like either movie.)
I will always wanted to see these 2 guys thought's on British kids show's like just see there reaction to it because we had some good stuff and then we just had stuff that just like what the hell where we even watching!
i love rob's response when he finds out they are talking about the power rangers movies its like the moment in a game of magic the gathering where somebody has done a really jank combo and you've realized you lose when it goes off its always funny to watch
You didn't grow up at the wrong time, it just didn't grab you.
That first Power ranger movie had issues but the second one seemed even worst!
Although it DID feel more like a Power rangers episode.
This new movie looks good but sounds like it will be more about the kids' drama rather then the Power rangers themselves.
And I like the hand to hand combat in Power rangers too!
The actors were all okay at least and Amy Jo Johnson was (and still is) great. As for the movies, the first one, in my opinion, wasn't that bad, it was a 5/10 for me (and as a kid, it was a10/10); I hate the second one, though.
Philippe Parle Peu and Tommy Oliver the best power ranger ever
Philippe Parle Peu Jason David Frank was for me
Philippe Parle Peu i still enjoy the first movie. its a film for teh fans i still enjoy it as much as i did as a kid. as a power rangers film its a 7/10 but as a film in general its like a 6.2/10 for me. and the plot felt like a movie
Turbo was ehhh
As a kid and to this day i still see it as a 5./10 as both a rangers and move in general
the practicial effects instead of the bad CGI but the weird plot quirks and lack of action was kinda turn off for me
If it weren't " that bad", why give it such a low rating then?
The original Japanese Sentai changed the entire cast every year (which Power Rangers didn't adopt fully until Lost Galaxy but pretty much started with Turbo) and has actually had several kids play Rangers. Both MMPR White Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger were little kids in the original.
Mac As of 2017 and my knowledge, there is 3 kid sentai warriors. The White Dairanger, Kingranger, and Kotaro ( Kyuranger )
RIP Jason David Frank
So, question for the masses since I never watched Power Rangers: Is it all technically one continuous show, just with different banners kind of like Pokemon (although that may be wrong, after the Orange League I was out), or are they separate series that share a universe kind of like Star Trek?
It is for the most part it is one continuity. There are references to other seasons and some seasons even have team up episodes with previous season's team. There is one season that takes place in an alternate universe, but that's it.
Wow too old? I am 33 and I loved the original power rangers! I guess I was immature? Still am!
Omar Enrique Same boat as you are and I still watch the series.
Omar Enrique Hey, I'm 28 years-old and I still love Power Rangers, except for Turbo, Wild Force, Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive and the previous Neo-Saban-era Power Rangers seasons before Dino Charge.
Yeah! I actually met the original cast last year. It was amazing. Jason, Austin, Walter and David.
Omar Enrique Nice!!! :)
Xaviergray87 At 28 you wuld have been about the right age for it. TMNT (well, it was TMHT for me then) was dropping of in popularity at the time, and Power Rangers was on the rise. I guess the US broadcast the show before it was around in the UK. I was certainly too old for it by the time it was broadcast. And I'm 33, too.
Despite the fact the shows is still running at least the show's dynamics are WAY better than how Micheal Bay does with his films.
Denardo Ellis Jr. great now bay's going to get his grubby hands on them :/
RockerMicke1 only if Bay is desperate...
god help us all :/
I always joke about how the new movie would draw bay in because it has giant robots and explosions lol I scare my friends when I mention it
Denardo Ellis Jr. True, true.
What are you guys thoughts of the new power rangers movie coming in 2017
But Doug, without this franchise, we wouldn't have Parody Rangers
Only the original cartoon was censored over here. Everything else is Ninja. I think it may have influenced Mikey using his chucks less over the course of the series though.
My first and most nostalgic villain that I fell in love with was Ivan Ooze. At the time, Gak was being produced and sold as well as other similar products. I'm not sure if they ever sold Ooze in that form, but if not they should have. Either way, because of that time of my life revolving around things like the creepy crawlers ez-bake oven ripoff, Gak, and other slimy gross products that were marketed towards young boys in the 90's, I loved the idea of Ivan Ooze. Of course, the fact that I was at an age where not very many movies could capture my attention for long helped a bit.
Doug your head is so shiny.
I was probably like a year or less old when Power Rangers first debuted, so I think I started watching at around Zeo or Turbo in '95 or '96. I was hooked instantly, and even as a kid I watched a bit of Mighty Morphin', but the movies I really liked, even if they weren't all that good. Though nothing can top the original megazord of course, I wanna say my favorite was the thunder megazord from the second season, since it was a dragon that could turn into a warrior, and then suit up with the other zords.
Doug and Rob, I am a Brit and yes in the eighties it was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. My old man had an annual which had that title on it, in the nineties it went back to the original title. But yes, it definitely was Hero as opposed to Ninja for a time.
I'm 33 and Power Rangers was at the cusp of childhood shows. Some in my class / age range jumped on it, some didn't. I didn't. X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man were the latest shows to get on it and it stopped there.
Johnny Yong Bosch got his justice when he gets TWO returns to the show and they both were really good. His first return actually gave him an arc, and he acted well in it. And even though his other return was in a terrible episode, he was one of the good parts of it.
Yeah, that is actually very true but he's also a very talented voice actor
I've never heard anything over here about Ninjas... This is news.
***** Nobody expects the spanish Addams family!
dang it!!! now I'll get the comfy electric chair torture from Michael Palin and Christopher Lloyd :-)
Ive seen all of the power ranger shows. They get progressively better in my eyes even if I didnt completely follow the transfer at times. But if you get attached to the idea of power rangers like I did it means a bit more. Like seeing Kimberly become evil hurt a bit. On the other hand Tommy in Dinoforce made me squee so hard. I also like how you can tell all interconnected the series are.
19:56 "Maybe if the pirate ship turned into a Transformer and flew or something..."
We got that in Megaforce. It sucked even worse than this movie.
I totally grew up with this show, heck I was only a year old when it started, and I didn't give it up till I was about 12 or 13
Who loves Super Sentai beside me?
never fully got into but there're seasons i kinda enjoyed.
I liked Zyuranger. That's pretty much the only sentai season I've seen in whole. I actually think Dairanger is better, even though I haven't seen it all, I saw the first episode and I liked it.
me
One of my favorite Power Rangers seasons is In Space. I love the space aspect, The Red Ranger Andros has a good character arc. All the Villains from Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo come together with new villains. In fact, after Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo this was at first supposed to be the final power rangers season but clearly they made more.
I like getting your guys thoughts on the movies. Being a big fan of the show since it came out, I always find it interesting to see what the opinions of others are for the films. I do agree that there is a difference in quality in the two films many because of when they were made. With MMPR, this was 1995 and the shows chance to launch as a big media franchise after making billions of dollars just on the last two years of sales. This was also a means of getting fans prepared for the 3rd season where the powers would change by giving us a sneak peek at powers and concepts. This would change when we get to the actual series.
The Turbo movie, on the other hand, feels like the TV show because it's set in the TV show. The film was meant as an actual bridge between the previous season, Power Rangers Zeo, and the next season that was about to start that fall. The first episode of Power Rangers Turbo has a whole 3 minute montage of the movie as the group is explaining to Rocky what happened while preparing for graduation. Both are aimed at doing things differently based on the budgets provided and what impact it was meant to have on the series. Whether it was a work giving the show a big screen polish or continue the series with a theatrical event, if you were of the age and of the fandom that can see how things work, it's a great experience. I love both movies and I could explain some of the stuff that happened in the movies for what could be logical reasons per the show's concepts.
To Rob, I would recommend Super Sentai, the parent of Power Rangers where all the stock footage comes from. Often times the Sentai seasons are better than their Power Rangers equivalent. I would especially recommend the 35th season Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger since it is 35 flavors of badass. It is an anniversary season, but they explain the cameos and fan service so new viewers don't get lost. I am a Power Rangers for life guy (even during its worst seasons like Overdrive and Megaforce), but there's no denying that Super Sentai (usually) has better stories. (Don't watch Dairanger though)
The "Hero instead of Ninja" rule was only in the UK, but since there was basically only one PAL converted version, all of Europe got the same Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (at least for the first few seasons).
I was 9 going 10 when it came on. I was on the older side, but I was big into it the first and beginning of second season.
I liked Power Rangers when I was a little kid. I grew out of it when I was 11. I recently revisited the show to see how it holds up, it doesn't hold up well not to my surprise.
I'm not sure about the "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" thing. Here in Italy it was called "Tartarughe Ninja" (Ninja Turtles), so it clearly wasn't applied, though I remember being puzzled since I had a coloring book or a poster or something that did have "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles", so it's possible that it was only on merchandise, or, most likely, it was only in the UK or some other specific country.
I didn't watch the first Power Rangers until I was 14. I thought it was childish, but really funny. Ivan Ooze is great.
I loved Zeo and still check in on what they come up every season or so. As for the power rangers movie (the first one) Those suits were pretty cool looking.
As a little kid I always found out-of-suits teenager parts boring (minus Bulk & Skull's hammy performances). Was very entertained whenever the show involved the power ranger suits, the zords, Zordon, or the villains. Yeah even then I knew it was corny as hell, but at its best it was some awesomely stupid that I didn't care and enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. I haven't really watched it in a while (aside from occasional UA-cam clips, parodies, or reviews for nostalgia sake), but I still look back on it with fun memories.
One of my favorite seasons is power rangers in space. I love the space aspect and the red ranger andros has a great character arc. All the villains from Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo come together with new villains too. In fact, after Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo Power rangers was supposed to end with Power Rangers in Space but, that idea quickly went to making more.
Here in Portugal it was called "Teenage Mutant NINJA Turtles", I didn't know about the UK change until a few years ago
The giant robots are my favorite parts too. Especially the combination sequences. Japan I think was the originator of the "combination sequence" in their mecha shows. And Power Rangers is no exception.
Many people died during the great Ninja Massacaru of the 1900s! A combination of strict weapon laws and the banning of Ninjutsu as a spiritual movement led to the underground growth of organised Shinobi mafia-like organisations. Those were some dark times.
I'd be a little more sensitive about mocking the UK's relationship with ninjas =(
From what I understand Turbo was meant to launch the series of the same name. Which is why Zordon looked so bizarre and didn't morph. The first film was a big budget version of the show to "officially end" season 2
Tell us your real thoughts about Full House.
I hope tomorrow you are doing real thoughts on Independence Day due to the fact that well tomorrow is Independence Day
The part when Adam (the ranger Bosch played) complained about him being the frog: That was his idea. From what I read, he and the rest of crew must've had a blast when making this movie.
It was Turbo where they didn't give him much freedom to enjoy the role.
24:00 Meh, even as a little kid I never really cared for the Flinetsones. I didn't hate it or anything, but like what Doug said, I just never really got into it. Though to be fair by the time I was a little kid cartoons and sit-come were pretty oversaturdated so Flinestones had a lot of competition for my 7 year-old attention.
The first NC review I ever saw!
In greece it was TMNT, the full name. Apparently we didn't have a ninja problem here. It's weird because we were getting every show translated from a different source. For example dragon ball was translated from the italian version and dragon ball Z had a season that had a french song...
I'm gonna sound so lame but I actually unironically love Adam's mini van. There's just something about the shape and design that pleases me. Besides, that one can hold more people if they need to! ...Not that any of the cars actually did anything but you know what I mean
Doug and Rob, I’m British and my Dad had a TMHT annual from the 80’s. I can confirm the original title over here was Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.
Out of curiosity, did either of you two ever see (or hear) of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers crossover? I remember it as a kid and it was really weird to see
I used to play Power Rangers with my friends back in the first grade. There was a tree in the back corner of the playground with a big round knothole in it, and that was our Zordon. The problem was we were a group of girls, and we all wanted to be the Pink Ranger.
Don't worry you two. The first Power Rangers movie, though still popular enough, was weird. I was a fan as a kid and remember being confused by many of the choices made in the movie. The pig villain for instance. I never understood why he was there when he never appeared in the show.
To be fair with Justin (the Turbo Blue Ranger), he's the one who was most of the time aware of the enemies' actions, and contacting the other rangers.Plus, he had some action scenes, without the suit, and still could hold some villains on his own.
He's not your typical dumbass in distress.
One of the rumors why the word ¨ninja¨ was banned in UK and Europe in late 90s was, a kid killed someone with a nunchuck by accident and Ninja would refer to weapons of such therefor banned.
One of the Bully actors became an Acting Teacher for a college. :) You can probably ask Linkara about it, Doug.
The only thing I really like about the movie is the new plated suits. They looked really nice and it was something properly original as those suits didn't exist in the original Zyuranger.
There was a Sentai show that used a kid and that was the White Ranger in the first movie. Yeah, they used an adult when it was originally a kid, and then for the second movie for the Blue Ranger they used a kid when it originally was an adult.
When Power Rangers debuted in 1993 I was just outside of 10 years old. So I did watch Power Rangers as I got older I do see how corny the show is, but when I realized that I'm 10 years older then the show I went on a Ranger Retrospective just to say that I've seen all the series, and I've realized why I liked it as a kid. It's corny but fun minus a couple seasons. As far as both movies go the first one is somewhat good even if it has bad CGI. The second one Turbo is bad. Not just the movie but the series as well. But you got to admit that weather you like it or you don't it's the most sucessful kids show ever. Not a lot of kids shows stay on the air for over 20 years.
I like the goseigers and gekirangers and maskman several years ago, but I haven't watched all of them and the older ones are so hard to find where it is subbed in English...
The outlawing of Ninjas was actually a pretty big debate.
It didn't help that 'Loose Women' was the only outlet that could get a ninja for interview without half the crew dissapearing a few days afterwards.
Speaking of Johnny Yong Bosch, I see the Trigun manga behind Rob, he was great in that show.
Oh, yeah, definitely one of my favor but you got to give him he's a very talented voice he's also a pretty cool and demon slayer
Not all seasons are as campy as Mighty Morphin', like Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, etc. I totally recommend you guys check out other seasons. But if you need something Power Rangers to make fun of *cough* Megaforce *cough*. BTW love your channel.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was my generation - it premiered when I was six, but even I don't have fond memories of it, 'cause my mom strictly forbid me to watch it. "It's too violent!" she said, apparently out of the fear that I'd start roundhouse kicking my sister if I laid eyes on it. I didn't even like gym class, what made her think I'd want to start fighting?
But now that bit at the end has got me curious to hear your real thoughts on the live-action Flintstones movie.
3:14 Rob sounded like Brad for a second there.
I was way overage when PR came out; but it reminded me of growing up with Ultraman, Space Giants, and Jonny Sokko.
From what I heard, the White Ranger in the Japanese (who is from a different Super Sentai series than the MMPR were) was a kid out of the suit. It was the same thing as the American blue Turbo Ranger. So, the Japanese are guilty of this, too...and did it first.
***** That's why he jumped around so much when he controlled the Tiger Zord.
I would've loved to hear their thoughts on the dark and violent Power Rangers short film that came out earlier this year. Doug even shared it on his FB page, and said he loved it, even though he's not a Power Rangers fan.
As a kid I thought the Flintstones was... okay. It was passable, but I had many other shows that I liked more. One thing I absolutely loved about the Flintstones though was the sound effects.
I remember this show only for Bosch and Amy Jo Johnson. It was mostly a live action version of Voltron
Funny Thing Goranger the first sentai show was just insane because all the monsters were like with mask in them like Warship Mask,Can Opener Mask,Baseball Mask and so on look it up
No tuxedo mask? ;D
0816 M3RC If Only
Rob's grasp on British politics is uncanny. I do remember 'TMHT', the opening was changed a little; over dubbing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles": replacing shots of nunchucks, and changing the morphing-logo-thing to a dissolve effect . "Splinter taught them to be ni-fighting teens"
"We were too old for Power Rangers"
"We had Ninja Turtles"
They're not that far apart, I grew up watching both.
To be fair, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lasted for almost a decade while Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers went on for three seasons before Power Rangers Zeo.
3 years makes a huge difference..Heck even 2 can.
Difference between 10 and 12...
yeah it's TMNT over here in the UK now
I grew up with Power Rangers and will listen to the theme song quite a bit here on UA-cam. As much as I enjoyed it then, I highly doubt I could sit through an entire episode now without laughing or losing interest part way through. Like you guys said, you have to be at the right age or else, it aint workin
Mike Abler Productions Try Zeo, In Space, or Time Force. Or RPM
I grew up with PowerRangers (and to this day I still see MightyMorphin as the best) and while the movie had a lot of non-connon stuff in it, I thought the suits, Lord Zedd and Zordon were superior in the first movie. As for the Turbo movie, I question the ship as well. And the two former rangers were Jason and Kimberly. As for the Flintstones Movie: Viva RockVagas. I couldn't get through it because The Great Gazoo's animation - particularly the face - terrified me. And I watched is as an adult.
Yes most fans like the show for its corniness but it gets dark at some times hell they kill of a power ranger at one point. It's a good show I collect everything involving the show and I'm happy to say I'm good friends with a few of the actors...hell I run lord zedds voice actors Facebook page it's a blast to be involved with the show and it's fanbase but agree if you didn't grow up with it you most likely wouldn't enjoy it.
Can you review Dragonball Evolution with Robyn from Anime America or Team Four Star?
Interesting fact about Britain's ban on "Ninja's", although this may have nothing to do with the rebranding of the Turtles in the UK. In the 70's when Kung-Fun was highly popular in Britain, a comedy show (and a bloody good show) called The Goodies did a parody of the Kung-Fun craze by making there own Kung-Fu art called Ecky-Thump - or just hitting people over the heads with black pudding. And in the episode two of the Goodies decided to go up against the third Goodie with their multiple Kung-Fu martial arts and when one of them dressed up as a Scotsman and used his bagpipes as a weapon, an old man actually died from laughter at the scene.
To explain, the second movie actually worked as a bridge between Power Rangers Zeo and Turbo. Also, I hear they changed TMNT to TMHT because ninjas "glorify assassins".
I'm sorry, but I had to stop when you said it's "obviously stupid". I don't understand why you have no respect for the franchise. However, I am willing to discuss the matter with you further if you wish to on my channel.
But the thing is, it is "obviously stupid". They're teenagers who transform into spandex-wearing heroes while spitting out one-liners for crying out loud.
Patrick imnottellingyou It's no different from Superman, Batman, Ironman, Spiderman or any other superhero. I mean a "teenager who transform into spandex-wearing heroe while spitting out one-liners" is EXACTLY Spiderman!
Rickey Layman Respect to something what "borrow" half footage from different show? This series don't have respect for itself, and you expect something like that from someone else? Also something "obviously stupid" in something what meant to be obviously stupid isn't flaw.
I remember growing up with ninja storm and dino thunder. I am 15 and still enjoy the older rangers. Mighty Morphin, Dino Thunder, Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury, etc.
TheRezro How dose the series not have respect for itself? Adapting Japanese footage from a Japanese TV show for an American audience dose not mean it lacks respect. Look at anime.
I remember seeing it when I was around 6 or 7, and even then, I thought, "what the hell am I watching?"
But nowadays I can see why some people would like it, even though I personally still don't.
As a kid I loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and I thought Kimberly looked really hot wearing those clothes in the beginning of the movie. The CGI for the ninja zords and the ninja megazord looked awful. But can't go wrong with their suits though. Oh by the way in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, along with Amy Jo Johnson the other actor was Austin St. John who played Jason the former MMPR red ranger and zeo gold ranger. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie was not that bad.
15:30 Wow, they just dissed Bulk and Skull, the *true* heroes of Power Rangers!
Well I was like 6 or so when it came to Canada, so yes, I found it quite enjoyable. When I was 6 I didn't notice how bad the CG was.
jurassic park had good impact on the t rex, i think because they had a real jeep in the shots and its probably getting knocked around by a tool edited out blue screen, like Lt. dans legs P.S. in the sentai with the white ranger, the white ranger is played by a kid in the japanese version and he turns into a grown up just like this
