During the Ninja Steel aniversary special they showed us that Tommy had a child , Once and Always just confirmed it's Kat's.

[@websurferblue]

Yup because if anyone remembers in that Christmas 🎄 episode fast forward way into the future Tommy and Kat are grandparents

[@matthewthompson2844]

Almost all of the complaints of inconsistencies that you mentioned in this has been explained in past crossovers or on the show since. Since it's pretty clear you don't keep up with the show or comics, I can understand how that could be frustrating. But just so everyone knows almost all of the things that you complained about was already explained in the Canon like way back. It'd be sort of like somebody jumping into superhero without watching DBS and not understanding anything.

[@Javon1689]

Now, if this was dragon ball, he would've known every little detail 😂

[@BNice1990]

Exactly!

[@jonmurphy4889]

RIP Jason David Frank (September 4, 1973 - November 19, 2022)

[@markelsasser01]

Zack didn’t contradict himself. He told her the first time she shouldn’t morph because she only wanted revenge and there’s a difference between revenge and justice. Later on she selflessly took the bullet for Billy and that activated it. Further, Rita said she has to put all her power into that death spell, it would be hard to get all the rangers with something slow moving like that. And Zack resigned from Congress to take care of Minh as her legal guardian just because he’s a good guy, nothing more complicated than that. I think the show did a much better job than one would usually expect from MMPR to tie all these loose ends together.

[@williewonka500020]

This really needed JDF. It's too bad Amy jo Johnson and Austin St John couldn't be there either. Some of the acting felt really weak but that's always been the case for power rangers, the story was very bland but it was very heart felt. I almost teared up at the final scene with JDF and Thuy Trang

[@GothamKnight84661]

No, It didn't need him at all. It was his choice not to be apart of it. Maybe Hasbro didn't go out of their way to disrespect him and respecting his request not having Tommy in the special like the man wanted. Jason couldn't go back to Tommy once he started Legend of the White Dragon playing a character like Erik Reed.

[@richborn6700]

JDF has been in literally everything else Power Rangers related. It's alright if he wasn't here

[@ElectricalFlare7201]

Based off of how Zack and Billy were caring for Minh I guess they are suppose to be her godfathers. Kind of like a Joey and Uncle Jesse from Full House type of situation. As for Zack changing his mind about Minh morphing I think it was because he saw the morpher started activating/glowing signifying that it officially linked with her as the new Yellow Ranger(cause earlier in the show it didn’t work when she attempted to morph). That was essentially the green light as to whether she was ready or not.

[@GothamKnight84661]

JJ debuted in the Soul of the Dragon comic book that Jason David Frank worked with Boom Studios on before he passed away. JJ was in "Dimensions in Danger" In Power Rangers Ninja Steel briefly. Where in the comic JJ is older who has joined SPD. Tommy has the Master Morpher that allows him not only turn into the Green Mighty Morphin Ranger but his other ranger forms that he used in the Dimemsions in Danger. I'm not shocked as i suspected they were going to use archival voice recordings from previous episodes of PR to make up for the actors who didn't want to be involved in the special. Including Jason who wanted to focus on Legend of The White Dragon, It didn't help that one of the showrunners called JDF a helmet head during the fliming of Dimemsion in Dangers. A stright up disrespect to the man himself and i don't blame Jason for not wanting to do it. I don't buy the whole age thing, that's all bs. We all know the real reason why Tommy and the others were gone based on behind the scenes drama bs going on. JDF wanted to leave and Saban fires the other actors except Blake Foster at that time. Power Rangers has always had strange continuity issues. Even Forever Red doesn't make any sense but it's a fun watch. Ill take that over most PR related stuff nowadays. Nowadays it's souless and not very interesting these days compared to Super Sentai who at least they're doing new things to improve it unlike PR is getting worst every decade now.

[@LordMetalSonic1987]

Not only that, JJ is the Green SPD Ranger, and at the end of the comic, he adapted his father's old Dragonshield onto his Ranger uniform.

[@GothamKnight84661]

@@LordMetalSonic1987 Yeah, kid. I read the book. Unlike some people who claim to. So don't think you're going to one up me. I bet you didn't even know half the things i addressed about the JDF issue with Hasbro? Yeah....so-called smart guy just don't.

When Billy was written out of Zeo and went to Aquitar, I remember it being said that the treatments they did for his age worked, but he voluntarily stayed because he fell in love with an Aquitian woman.

[@richborn6700]

Which is ironic considering his actor left the show due to gay bashing over his sexuality behind the scenes

[@Dschn08]

In the Ninja steel crossover Tommy has a master Morpher. So he can access the Green Ranger Powers as well as white ranger Zeo Ranger red and Dino Thunder black

[@thedefinitive6296]

This movie was just as bad as I expected and I loved every bit of it. Like you said, it's all heart and the 8 year old kid in me was overjoyed to see MMPR just as full of sloppy writing and gaping plot holes as ever. The biggest let down for me was the CGI. I will take a guy in a suit over bad CGI any time. But I am thankful they did this and I appreciate the work they put into it.

[@redsagexxv]

Honestly imo this special was perfect. And I feel like “the bad “ or cheesiness was very intentional.also it’s a shame JDF couldn’t be a part of this but tbh I don’t think it needed him in the end or the other left out rangers. Jdf specifically has came back more than any ranger in other series already. If this took itself too seriously I don’t feel like it would’ve been power rangers cause that’s just not what PR is. Also a couple of gripes ppl have can be explained by later seasons of power rangers Ngl. They kept this well in continuity with current stuff from what I read up on. Also genuinely chuckled and screamed in excitement at a lot of this. Genuinely some cool stuff and glad it was about a hour rather than the usual 23 or so minutes

[@halfmoonjoker1907]

Zack changed his mind about Minh becoming a ranger when the Morphin grid accepted her because it also signaled that she had righteous motivations and not vengeance; plus she just almost died saving Billy so she was going to fight either way and he realized that. And before Mecha-Bandora blasted Trini she made a comment about that blast being worth the massive amount of her energy. So even if she could have done another one I think it’s made clear that she couldn’t have popped off 6 in a row; aside from the fact that losing rangers makes it harder for her to power her machine.

[@saiyan4414]

the Kat and Tommy Kidd was JJ, you see him briefly or rather hear his voice in the dimensions in danger NinjaSteel crossover. also considering Minh called Zach her uncle, my theory is that her father was Zach's cousin Curtis.

[@WGPhil-uw5cs]

Uncle can mean family friend. I don't think we will ever see minh's father.

[@Danox215]

The only “new”thing I remembered during this “Special” was Tommy and Kat’s Son JJ. He’s from the comics (Comicstorian actually showcased those years ago ) and JDF actually mentioned him on the Master Morpher Crossover a while back.

[@RiccoDaniiDev]

Geekdom you hit it RIGHT on the head like usual. That's exactly how I felt. I appreciated it, but man... what could of been... and how they treated JDF before he died.

[@omnientertainment5852]

How did they trest JDF?

[@saiyan4414]

also if I remember correctly at the end of Zeo they said that Billy had returned to his original age. Also the person that played the yellow ranger in Zio was Nakia Burrise, her name was Tonya in the show.

[@RogueHero]

Just finished it , it was a solid 7 out of 10 for me. The acting was ruff in the beginning, the story was solid but kinda goofy at times. It desperately needed JDF , Austin and Amy Jo but I guess Netflix budget wasn't big enough for em. All in all they could definitely build off of this , for a Netflix exclusive show if they wanted too. Also I don't think Jason , Tommy & Kimberly is getting captured that easily and them being mute most of the time was terrible Netflix should have hired some voice actors just to not make the scenes before them getting captured awkward.

[@jerelminter]

JDF turned it down, because he was working on his own superhero movie that would've been Power Rangers had he was allowed to do it. It's called The Legend Of The White Dragon, as far as Austin St John goes, he got in trouble with the law during the late spring of last year before this was made in New Zealand. So he couldn't leave the USA while still under investigation, Amy Jo Johnson said "she didn't want to wear spandex in her 50's" but that was not what she originally wrote. Her initial response was : "I never said no, but didn't say yes to what was offered" so the fans speculated it was a money dispute, or creative differences.

[@RogueHero]

@@jerelminter Fair enough , although i still think Netflix could have had them at least do some voice overs. If i was to take a wild guess , creative differences & Money was probably the determining factor for Amy Jo and JDF because if the bag was big enough im sure they would have put their other projects on hold to film a few scenes for this special.

[@shadowsansvii8715]

It wasn’t a bad crossover. It wasn’t the most well made but it had passion and heart put into it. You can tell they cared, this wasn’t only made for money. And that means more than most movies and shows made nowadays.

[@OmegaMagnus11DA]

Couldn't help but laugh whenever "Snizzard" was mentioned lol

[@angelshide]

Ok, so I have some thoughts to add to your review: 1. JJ and Kat: This was more of an Easter egg and nod to fans. It has been implied through previous episodes that Kat and Tommy had married. JJ is their son and was in the Boom Studios graphic novel Soul of the Dragon (I think that's what it is called) and the 25th anniversary special in Ninja Steel. It was a way of confirming to fans that yes, Kat and Tommy are together and also making the graphic novel canon. 2. Minh and Zack and Billy acting like father figures: This was explained in the episode. I think we are supposed to assume Trini was a single parent and Minh had no other family (the former was implied and the latter confirmed). Zack stopped being a congressman in order to look after and take care of Minh. 3. Billy aging: When they wrote him off they explained when he arrived in Aquata (or however it is spelled) that he had been cured and returned to his young self. He stayed as he fell in love. 4. The rangers having their powers and being back: I just assumed Billy contacted them after resurrecting Rita and they returned. It has already been established in previous episodes that they can use their powers.

[@jerelminter]

The common complaint about this is that the original characters were missing, I'm like no they weren't. Trini, Jason, Kimberly and Tommy were there. It's only Billy and Zack you see the faces of (because David Yost and Walter Jones are the only two that came back in person). So they kept the others around, they're just morphed the whole time.

[@Javon1689]

Dude, that wasn't them. It was stunt people in those costumes and voice-overs from old footage what are you talking about. They both said they wasn't coming back

[@jerelminter]

@@Javon1689I know they're NOT the REAL PEOPLE. That's why I said the CHARACTERS. They can still show the Rangers without the actors being there.

[@KotCR]

​​​​@@Javon1689 Yes, it was them. He said it was Jason, Kim, Tommy and Trini. You know, the _fictional_ characters. That *is* them. He _did not_ say it was Thuy, JDF, ASJ, or Amy. You know, the real-life actors and actresses that historically play the characters, but couldn't make the special. We all know they weren't there. All these characters have been played by different actors and actresses in the past too. For example, at one point (SPD crossover) Tommy was actually played by Jeffrey, who normally plays Trent/Dino Thunder White. It was still Tommy, it just wasn't JDF. There is a difference between reality and make belief.

[@jerelminter]

@@KotCR Exactly

[@richborn6700]

Facts. It's easy to put stunt actors in the costumes and just use audio from old MMPR episodes for grunts, yells etc.

[@NJ973201]

8:22 It's Tanya

[@WAAMUH]

Robo Rita used almost all of her power to kill Trini. Then needed over a year before returning. Also it's been 30 years. Surely Billy's fast aging has been quelled, which was why he left for Aquitar in the first place.

[@supersullivan9868]

I feel very mixed about it. I thought it turned out as good as it could get, but it could've been better had things turned out differently behind the scenes for all who could've been involved.

[@ThePontiffofPonWolf]

Tommy did talk to an offscreen kid on the phone during "Dimensions in danger" so it's nice to have confirmation that Kat is the mom

[@Fentony]

Just finished watching. I don’t think the special was everything it could have been but like you said it had a lot of heart. I chocked up a bit at the end with the tribute to the two actors who are no longer with us.

[@elite7205]

missed jason , he was always my fav

[@davidyodo24]

Watching this movie put a big smile on my face and also made me shed tear.

[@MoarRobots]

A lot of your confusion is due to just not remembering the correct things from the past and missing context from the original show. Like Billy was aging in Zeo but he was cured in Aquitar but decided to stay because he fell in Love with a women at that planet which was mentioned. Also Kat and Tommy were established to having a child in Dimensions in Danger. I think you were in the unfortunate fan to have a lot more knowledge of power rangers than a casual MMPR only fan but not enough compared to a hardcore PR fan so you lack a lot of info and get some plot points confused.

[@joaopedrooliveira590]

The Zach and Minh situation I think he was not against her becoming a Ranger but rather her motivations to become one. She wanted to do it out of revenge. When she was willing to sacrifice herself to protect the others, and the Saber-tooth Tiger morpher recognised her for it, I believe he had no more objections This shouldn't have been done like this. Instead of a special of 60 minutes or so, this should have been a mini-series of four or five episodes, give more time to explain a few things and give everyone more screen time. It was a pity that we didn't have the Dragonzord making an appearence as well as they never assembling the Power Blaster.

[@KotCR]

Original casting calls for Minh suggested it was going to be a 6-episode mini-series. So I guess certain things happened and certain plot points got cut to make the shorter run-time. I know in the Hasbro earnings call they said about how Power Rangers was a growing and profitable franchise, but how, due to unforeseen behind-the-scenes issues, they lost money on it in the previous business year. I wonder if those cuts were a part of that.

[@anthonyc7478]

The graphic novel Power Rangers Soul of the Dragon established that Catherine and Tommy married and had a son.

[@manbob15]

Where can I watch it

[@AlphaProto]

Green Ranger was there because of the master morpher. Tommy has a morpher to use all the powers he has had. Also they showed Billy young again after he went to live on Aquatar. He said he was going to stay with his girlfriend. So those are only plot holes if you missed a few sessions. I liked it. It was on par for your average Power Ranger episode.

[@KotCR]

Yeah, I've seen alot of people complain about that aging, Aquitar, "plothole", but it isn't a plothole at all. The mind-boggling thing is the "aged Billy" issue was resolved in the exact same episode of Zeo it happened. It's like people watched the first 15mins of that episode, but didn't bother to watch the final 10mins of that episode lol. Clearly people that don't actually know what they're talking about just parroting what other equally uninformed people are saying.

[@crs463]

You can’t watch this special looking Oscar winning story. If you have to dissect every little detail looking for things to talk negative about & can’t just go back to the mindset of you as a child enjoying for all the campy 90’s stuff that made kids enjoy power rangers is just showing that maybe you went into it as the adult who is just watching it for his job. Yeah it’s not perfect & would’ve benefited even more if asj, jdf, & ajj would’ve choose to be in it but you can’t say this needed jdf because he said himself he was retired from the role of Tommy because he’s done so much for power rangers more than anyone else has. Again the special wasn’t perfect but it gave me & other people a chance to be a kid in the 90’s again while watching it

[@redsagexxv]

Agreed. Expecting this to be a tight story is silly. Power rangers, especially mighty morphin, had so many plot holes so if anything this was very true to that structure. It literally felt like watching mmpr again and frankly if it was anything but that everyone would complain more. Imo they nailed this and I’m so glad they didn’t try to do what that remake movie did and make this more than what it is. It’s still a Y7 kids show at end of day lol and I’m glad they kept the campiness of that

[@crs463]

I mean it’s not like he’s ign going in as someone who was never a fan of it & just wanted to make a review for the $

[@GothamKnight84661]

Dude, this has nothing to do with it! you totally missed the friggin point Super Sentai and Kamen Rider are kids shows but they have better depth in their characters! Power Rangers in the past outside of MMPR had better acting and action, this is crap and unacceptable! even kids today would get bored of this wanting better. Yes Power Rangers is cheesy asf but i can have good writing and learn a thing a thing or two from Sentai and Kamen Rider. You kids today are annoying to deal with no common sense.

[@WAAMUH]

It would make sense if you were truly a fan. Tommy and Kat had a kid way back in the future scene of Power Rangers Zeo. And recently in Ninja Steel.

[@swiftstreamspc]

To get caught up on how the rangers got there powers back. Wacth Power Rangers Overdrive “Once a Ranger”. Sentinel Knight repairs the morphing grid to restore lost powers. Then watch Dino Charge, mighty morphin rangers returns for a team up with Dino Thunder. Also Tommy last special before he died he used the master morpher. He found a way to tap back into all his powers and cat morphs to. There son is in the plot and explained there. There’s a ton more stuff sprinkled throughout different series. This story actually is legit with there powers based on previous lore and they assume everyone knows it all smh. Unfortunately they should have done this as another episode not a movie. The production was no where near the 90s PR movie or 2017 or Turbo. I hope the next one is better. RIP to JDF

[@456jm]

Felt as though this should've been episodic like Cobra Kai on Netflix but then other than Minh's character development where do they go from there after Robo Rita? They could've tied this series in with Cosmic Fury If they needed more backup to deal with Zedd. Then again that probably would've required a bigger paycheck from the Legacy Rangers continuing to film in New Zealand when they just want to move on with their lives but not the 80's Karate Kid cast though!

[@zwarrior28]

I'm still pretty bummed we didn't get a sequel to the 2017 movie.

[@mpsorrentino]

Some of the creative decisions were definitely forced and not made with good storytelling in mind; personally, I would think Robo-Rita would have been created by Lord Zedd and Scrozzle (an enemy in Beast Morphers), both of whom are the current threat to the most recent team of PR in Dino Fury/Cosmic Fury, this would set up a natural pathway for MMPR cameos in Cosmic Fury in the fight against Lord Zedd. Also, the whole power coin thing makes no sense as in the last season of Dino Fury, it is explained that the Green Morphin Master restored the powers of all past rangers back during the Legendary Battle seen in Super Megaforce, so Kat and Rocky should already have their own power coins, Rocky was also seen using those powers during the Ninja Steel crossover while Jason was shown using them in Beast Morphers. P.S. Cranston is Billy's last name, which was a decision made to honor Bryan Cranston's contributions to the show voicing a variety of one-off villains.

[@KotCR]

In Beast Morphers we see the Power Coin appear in thin air, then Jason appear and grab it, and looking chuffed about it. Probably best to assume Rocky reacquired the T-Rex Coin at some point after Forever Red, hence his Dimensions in Danger appearance , and that moment in Beast Morphers when the Coin appears in thin air, is the same moment the coin was taken from Rocky and handed back to Jason.

It was phenomenal Mighty Morphin Power Rangers special. I enjoyed it, and I was in a memory of nostalgia of remembering watching Power Rangers on Fox Kids from my childhood years in the 1990s and early 2000s. Rita Repulsa killed Trinie (Yellow Power Ranger) in season 2 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Zordon...sigh, he made the ultimate sacrifice by saving the Power Rangers, Alpha, and the commander room from Lord Zedd, and Rita Repulsa. Yeah, there were plotholes, and the CGI battle between the robot lizard and the Megazord was...definitely not a highly qualified scene (they should kept it in a '90s style look) and it doesn't look right. The cast are back (Aisha, Rocky, Zack, Katherine, Adam, and Billy), and I am happy that there in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30th anniversary special. But I do missed Jason David Frank (aka Tommy Oliver; the Green Power Ranger, and the White Power Ranger), and Trinie Trang (Yellow Power Ranger)...I wished they be there, but sadly...yeah. But I enjoyed the special as a adult.

[@OutclassedMusician]

I'll always have a place in my heart for power rangers since I grew up with it and still watch it for nostalgia time to time. This little special wasn't all that special in my opinion, It did feel like a passion project and definitely had heart but it blows my mind that even after 30 years, the power rangers franchise still doesn't look pleasing besides the suits. The acting was not that good in my opinion and the special just didn't feel necessary but it was cool non the less. Overall it was a pleasant experience and it was cool seeing the old rangers again but tbh I started to get bored at times throughout the thing. Power rangers was never popular for its writing but this story felt a little scrambled even for power rangers

[@LokoJoe6]

13:01 i think she didn't killed the other rangers because she wanted to capture them for the time portal stuff I think it's a special, is not a movie actually, at least they're calling it a special I agree with you, if they used their voices on the scenes, that was a bit shitty. It's different than using old footage I honestly loved it, yeah, with plot holes but still I think Tommy and Kat son was introduced in the comics, haven't read them but that's what I've heard I think Billy got cured from his accelerated age process on Aquitar at some point and that's why he was back The thing with the second power coins i think it's the explanation to why they're PR again Maybe as Billy said, Zordon rules can be brake in special situations as they told Minh they're PR and returning to action was something related to being an emergency Loved the callbacks and easter eggs. I've missed Ninjor voice actor mentioned honestly. Couldn't hold up the tears on the end man 😭😭😭

[@ItsAllLaughsAm]

I enjoyed this special but a lot of things in this require you to watch the more recent seasons from the past 10-15 years to understand why they are still rangers and some of the things that are believed to be plot holes were either rerconed or expanded upon the comics/future seasons so I can understand of people are confused at some parts

I thought it was 'Decent at Best', like not too bad but not that good either. I was also conflicted/mixed as well, the only few things I disagree with is that the Actress who played Trini's Daughter was trying too hard when it comes to Martial Arts Choreography and... I thought the CG Zords looked way better than MMPR 1995's CG Zords especially when Wild Force happened that CG Animation is just too cartoony (I'm pretty sure that is from Toei too).

[@nworder4life]

Robo Rita more like a retcon than a plot hole because Zordon's energy wave was supposed to destroy the evil, not carry it away. Anyway I have no idea about JJ cause I don't read the comics, but I do remember an episode where at the very end Tommy and Kat were old and reading to their grandchildren. So the two of them having a son seems to be in line with the show's canon.

[@IMZ44]

I'm still on the fence because. The film is using Trini passing for the plot. I do think their hearts are in the right places. The cast of MMP did care about Thuy Trang The photo of Thuy Trang they used for the funeral. That's the same photo the family used for Thuy's actual funeral. Again, I'm just saying and might check it out once I get some free time.

[@Thunder-StrickenStudios]

Are you going to review Evil Dead Rise?

Zack adopted Trinis daughter after she died. That’s why he is acting like her parent. Kat and Tommy have a Son named JJ in the Comics. Personally, I thought Robo Rita’s origin wasn’t bad at all.

I actually wasn’t planning on watching this, but I think now I will at least once. ~_~

Kats son is from the comics

[@brollicon]

Also it needed a two part special. I enjoyed it

[@SoraFinalForm47]

This special was amazing!!!

[@supermariosunshine64]

The little girl was the best actor lmao But I could never hate it, it was cute and it was obvious it was made with love and that mattered more to me than awful effects or acting.

[@kylewhitegrass]

I've seen the power rangers when they first premiered on TV bro

Could at least explain the mystic mother

[@andrewsimon713]

Was it great cinema ? No. Their heart was in the right place. I grew up watching the og cast and Thuy passing always hit me hard. It was good to honor her legacy in this show after so many years. I see zack flip flopping more so to do with Minh being hell bent on revenge which is against ranger principle. When she took the shot for Billy it unlocked her morpher and Zack knew then that Minh knew what it meant to be a ranger. The morpher chose her and Zack let her take her mothers place on the team.

[@SilverHawk555]

Fucking loved it and watched it 3 times! Nice review man

[@change023]

It wasn’t very good like you said. I enjoyed it as a “fan” but it really needed ASJ or JDF.

[@naschaos25jxf57]

I grew up with the disney era of pr stopped after jungle fury, keep my toes wet with the status of the franchise, binged the frachise from in space to dino thunder havent continued that marathon, got back when beast morphers started. So while I didnt watch mmpr I familiar and I thought special was fine. Zacks actor stole the show. Megazord fight was ugh.

[@zero01grimreaper]

Well with dino thunder Timmy was there

[@Mr.Crow7]

Ha. He referenced ReBoot.

[@chrispressley4644]

Ayaesha was the name you was looking for

[@Kinnikice]

I didn't impressed on the Zord fights during the final battle I find it boring.

[@geekedmedia]

Nah this was as good as it'll get without the other og's.

[@MrGamer07100]

I think they just dumped out any continuity from past series. I mean if you go in with just Mighty Morphin Power Rangers nostalgia party fest, then yeah it was alright. The Megazord final showdown was terribly fake. Lol I enjoyed it overall. About what I expected. I was very happy to see Billy and Zack again. And enjoyed their roles the most for sure. Could be better, but I’m happy what we got.

[@Marcioserrao92]

They weren't replaced cuz they were old.

[@al48601]

It was not that bad! I really enjoyed it.

[@uchihasain]

This movie could have been better plus how dare they show the beast morphers getting captured but dont show the acted I'm not trying to hear well this is mighty morphing but why are bringing other rangers from other season like this could good ass movie and I'm just not feeling it it's a 3 out of 10 for me I grew up with mighty morphin but it's not favorite season my favorite season is dino thunder the goat.

[@terrymay.]

Did Billy get botox or something? His face didn't change the whole movie

[@LitGodLit]

1st

[@adrian350z1]

I mean, what'd you expect? An Emmy-winning story and performance? Nah, man. Gimmie the wonky stories and the cheesy effects and the rock music and Hip Hop Kido and MORPHINOMENAL sauce I remember and love dearly. I loved it.

[@akumous]

This was a quick cash grab. Thanks for the review, I was not going to watch it due to passing some actors that would have made this special better than what it was.

[@TruthFreedomStrength]

Jew ranger??

[@jerelminter]

He said Zyuranger, but it's pronounced "jew-ranger". That's the name of MMPR when it was shown in Japan, before it got its American adaptation. The clips shown of the Rangers when they're the Rangers were taken from that show and spliced into the scenes with the American actors. So when you're seeing the Rangers morphed, it's actually the Japanese show that you're looking at.
