I actually met Carla Perez at this con. I was getting on the elevator and I happen to see her head towards my direction. I held open the door for her and we both rode up. We chatted for a moment and she thought I was an actor. I laughed and joked around with her. After I said my farewell to here getting off the elevator to my floor she told me her name and it didn't click till I made it halfway down the hall and I said to myself " I just talked to Rita".
Machiko Soga was Rita's original body as well as she played her in Zyuranger (in said Sentai, she's known as Bandora). In Power Rangers, Barbara Goodson just voiced Rita throughout the series, she was also considered to play her body as well but the production decided to keep Rita's appearance as Asian-looking, that's where Carla Perez comes in. Hence the reason why Rita used a magic youthful cream in order to make herself younger.
here's the original rita though (bandora) where most mmpr footage is taken from her name is Machiko Soga encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTYHwxLC9lSRiyUXBMl41G3HjXoRQnrzYR8jKJrTe0bRW1xJcqc&usqp=CAU 66.media.tumblr.com/f951e5c0175bd5e0597988f9a2ad4f59/tumblr_n2fe6uufzx1rbt4xmo3_500.jpg i.ytimg.com/vi/w2VdkzhKN0Q/hqdefault.jpg pbs.twimg.com/media/CgbBcdfUsAAUxvP.jpg
One of the scariest monsters they ever faced was the Toad Monster that kept eating them that freaked me out it's still one of my favorite episodes till this day 😁
Carla Perez is my favorite Rita. Glad to see her back. Zedd and Rita should have been in Turbo. I liked Divatox in the end but we should have had the other villains too.
I had asked her that. At Morphicon. I think it was due to them filming the movie in Australia. Either she wasn't asked to. Or they changed their minds. I can't remember.
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 5 I think. The original was the one from the Japanese footage, then they replaced her with Carla when they started shooting new footage, another woman played her for the MMPR movie, Barbara did all of the voicing and Elizabeth Banks just played her
First is Machiko Soga, who played Witch Bandora and was the main source of Rita's footage from MMPR Season 1. She also played Magiel/Mystic Mother in Mystic Force, and the two characters were merged together (with Mystic Mother being a "good" Rita). Second is Carla Perez, who played a younger-looking Rita after the Wedding episode and continued to play her for the rest of Rita's run on Power Rangers (from MMPR S2 to In Space). Third is Julia Cortez, who played Rita in the 1995 MMPR movie. All the previously mentioned actresses were dubbed by Barbara Goodson (though Susan Brady voiced Mystic Mother and dubbed over Barbara in Beast Morphers' villain clip show episode). For the 2017 Power Rangers movie, it was Elizabeth Banks who did both the physical and vocal performance for Rita.

Cool
When Rita..met Rita.
If only Machiko Soga was still alive, that would have been amazing if she was part of this as well! Either way still a great Q&A.
***** It's a shame she passed away but I think she would have been a huge hit at these conventions.
Agreed.
I would have loved to meet her. She was my favorite in Power Rangers :P
she was a veteran through out her illustrious carreer.
You can tell Machiko Soga was so much fun just from the footage and the interviews themselves!
25 years since I watched this show and I didn't know Rita was made by two actors. Thank you!

carla is so beautiful

Wasn't that Heisenberg that did that voice? Or was that a different monster that Cranston played?
That's Carla Perez? I didn't know that. Somehow I think she's played Rita on the show. Way to go.And Barbara? Voice of reason.Yes,indeed.
Wow did realize how cute Rita actually is. I’m referring to both actors.
Carla Perez is my favorite Rita. Glad to see her back. Zedd and Rita should have been in Turbo. I liked Divatox in the end but we should have had the other villains too.
At least they got to have a cameo in the movie
I like when the voice actors talk like the characters
me too. I thought it was a real old lady.
Both are so nice in person
This is fucking awesome, I love her work 😊
Awesome.
This is epic.
did barbara goodson do the voice of Mystic Mother too? since Machiko soga was mystic mother
No she did not.
What the hell is Matt The Radar Technician doing there?
Yes....
I wish the woman who played "Rita" in the Power Rangers: The Movie was part of this or I wish someone would've asked them about her!
+Cody Dean Do you mean the one from the older movie with Ivan Ooze?
+Kee Leicthle yes indeed, that's exactly who I am talking about!
+Cody Dean julia cortez is her name but i wonder why they didnt use carla for it
+Tim McDonnell I've always wondered that!!!
I had asked her that. At Morphicon. I think it was due to them filming the movie in Australia. Either she wasn't asked to. Or they changed their minds. I can't remember.
she was in star wars the clone wars what character?
Mother Talzin
How many Rita's are there? Who's The Original one?
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 5 I think. The original was the one from the Japanese footage, then they replaced her with Carla when they started shooting new footage, another woman played her for the MMPR movie, Barbara did all of the voicing and Elizabeth Banks just played her
Sierra.Taekwondo.85 the original one Is bandora aka Rita from zyurangers
machiko soga is the original rita (bandora). if you pay attention to her palace. it says "bandora" on it

Carla Perez could lip synch to Barbara Goodson voice as Rita.
She did whe she was on the show!
Could machiko soga speak English?
Probably not.
Ellaa son rita repulsa??
Rita died ! What happen this is isn’t her
It is her.
Bandora died, the japanese actress.
when you run out of japanese footage to use, you gotta start using actors.
machiko soga was the best rita (bandora being the real name in zyuranger)
@@TruthGatherer2013 machiko soga was in the first opening of season 2 that can't being stock footage
I, dont like rita
