MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: The Movie (1995) Breakdown | Easter Eggs, Making Of & Hidden Details

[@heavyspoilers]

Huge thank you for checking out the video and shoutouts to MT for this trip down memory lane

[@travisjames5]

JDF is burning in hell. What a horrible person.

Why ?​@@travisjames5

[@Terrible0x0Trivium]

Thanks for covering this!

[@mattfischer7140]

Love the video… BUT: 1. Zordon actually did have British accent… a distorted one but it was there. The original voice actor Dave Fielding was British. 2. Adam was the one who was supposed to get the audio stuff in his helmet. Not Billy. Great video though :)

Rest in peace

Too soon. I remember crying when Tommy left as a kid. It breaks my heart how it ended up happening. I can identify though

My childhood right here. This, WWF, X-Men, Ninja Turtles, Batman, and yeah. I still have the old school green ranger action figure in the box and dressed as him for the past 2 halloweens. I was 10 when this movie came out. Love this stuff!

[@miloanderson4359]

The one with the rotating torso for the swinging punch/kick action? Man I loved that action figure!

[@sidekickz2180]

Same. Throw in Jurassic Park and that's my childhood in a nutshell!

Wore out the VHS as a kid

[@rustycaplinger8036]

I never had the movie but my cousin did and sometimes when i would come over we would watch it. It was pretty good as a kid and my cousin had all the toys and still does today which is pretty cool.

[@Scofflaw_k10]

I learned a lot about myself at a young age seeing Dulcea. 😅

[@sleeperholdASMR]

Skull is the best!!! He had the best fashion in the entire series lol

Tommy is, was, and will always be the greatest ranger. As his Dragonzord sleeps at the bottom of Angel Grove Bay forever awaiting Tommys call. RIP

R.I.P. JDF

[@raultejada8968]

Dammm that hit deep

[@haze4622]

ooff..

[@MrDarkknight2011]

Amen to that! JDF (aka Tommy) always did have the better zords as his time holding the Power Ranger mantle. But his two best roles were and always will be The Green Ranger and White Ranger.. With his DragonZord, and White TigerZord.

[@Dinowrestler]

Sadly the original dragon Zord was just gone at the end of Zue Ranger.

[@lboston4660]

Dulcea still melts me every time even 30 years later

[@jonmurphy4889]

Oh wow Saban gave David Yost some contacts... That's probably the nicest thing they ever did for the guy

[@KairuHakubi]

point of odor: they gave _Billy_ some contacts. The character. Meaning they were diegetic contacts, not real. Yost didn't have to put contacts in to portray the character.. because that would be assy.

[@daisyblossomflowerchild9702]

My husband and I took our son and his friends to this movie when it was released. As parents, we thought it was cute, but we actually discussed the fact that it didn't show injuries. We didn't need gushing blood, but we felt it should show kids that fighting like this would cause bleeding when sliced. After all, as a mum, I certainly had to patch up my share of injuries from recreating movie moves irl (lol). ;) I always had a soft spot for the black/green ranger being a frog. That improvised scene touching. :)

[@KairuHakubi]

Right? Sensible parents would want to see consequences. Though that would definitely stop a lot of Batman products in their tracks, as the crooks he subdues would almost definitely die of their injuries.. The irony is on the show, being hit would cause sparks to fly out, meaning those actors had a bunch of pyrotechnics going off right on their bodies.. that's significantly more dangerous than pretending to get hit by a sword and adding some stage blood.

[@markcruz359]

The sad fact is certain IPs cant become overly successful without certain groups of people out there trying to shut it down. Harry Potter for its use of witchcraft. Power Rangers for its use of martial arts. Even though the show itself has a lot of well written stories that teaches kids great lessons like team work, patience, working hard, repurcussions etc. There were a lot more like Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel, but i cant remember most of them.

[@earlsanders1468]

Bless you ❤❤❤

[@EvanTomiko]

- Zack, Trini and Jason: Zordon, can we have a raise? -Zordon: No and you are fired! 😂

[@matt2887]

Born in ‘85. This is so up my alley simply for the nostalgia. Great memories.

[@KairuHakubi]

My age... Did you get a bunch of shit for liking power rangers too, or is that just the garbagey place i grew up

[@punklover99]

Born in 90, my older brother born in 81 introduced me to robots becoming bigger robots via Voltron. Power rangers caught me hook line and sinker

[@dominicellison4804]

The day this came out my dad let me skip school and we went and saw it in theaters. It was awesome. The theater had local people dressed up as the Power Rangers doing a meet and greet and a photo op with everybody outside before wewent in.

[@Phrankytee]

Core memories ❤ the world has changed severely since then😢

Little kid me was always salty and didn't understand why they couldn't have these cool suits in the tv series that aired after the movie. Wasn't for many years after that I learned wtf was going on with the Japanese scenes.

[@dramonmaster222]

I still have the VHS copy of this movie. One thing I like about MMPR The Movie is how this is an actual movie and not just an extended eps. of the show unlike Power Rangers Turbo The Movie.

[@Schwartzbruder1]

David Yost was a real chad without the glasses. I remember his look in Zeo was easily his best look

[@darthcalibur266]

So cool that they made Billy go from a shy nerd in season 1 to an ass kicking genius by the second season/movie release.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

He was Lowkey the most jacked and fit guy on the show. An actual real life gymnast. Which is why the show runners went out of their way to cover him in baggy clothes. But they toned it down by the time this movie came out.

[@Brook11223]

Well Jason, Trini and Zack were supposed to be part of this film but due to contract disputes they left the series. I think this film wouldve been the perfect way to send of the characters of Trini, Zack and Jason had the actors stayed.

[@Stray_by_Nite]

I was a tiny kid, but I remember being hyped over the Ranger's new costumes.

[@PNWSubaruAdventures]

This was my favorite movie as a child. It is literally one of the best films ever made. All the changes they made from the original cast and characters where totally for the best.

[@teddybreeez]

Man these were much different times and the memories flood back. I remember being PISSED at Ivan Ooze when he destroyed the command center😂😂😂

“Teenagers should not be jumping out airplanes in real life.” Paratroopers: “Are we nothing to you?”

[@DisgruntledDisabledCombat_Vet]

I’ve never seen any red berets not do any jumps without being hooked up to a static line. Unless you were pertaining to special forces/operators that had a recruit join at 17, and not fail selection or training before being assigned to a group, lol. Other than that, if someone is lucky, they will do all the jump schools, and qualify for the HALO at a minimum age of 22. There hasn’t been any young late teenagers, that are able to free fall in the military, and be able to control were and how they land. But I applaud you for pointing out that knees, back, and ankles are still crunching lol

[@jj_koolsmits5629]

Thank you MT! I remember watching this in the theatre with my mom, and at age 36, I still love the Power Rangers! Also, when my dad asked me to take up martial arts as a kid, I first didn’t want to as I was 5 years old, but when I saw this movie with my mom I changed my mind, mainly because of JDF, and the rest is history. RIP JDF, the greatest ranger ever.

[@Gooniegirl3333]

Such an iconic and quotable movie from our childhood. I hate how non-canon it is, but boy is it fun.

[@plumbussmith]

Red ranger and pink ranger were my wrestling partners growing up. Those roughly 2.5ft soft bodies with the harder heads got powerbombed and choke slammed onto every surface in and around the house.

[@Kaznil46]

I will say, Kimbery's scream when she's stuck in the dino ribbs was truly done really well. Like she actually was screaming like her life was in danger and not just acting like it was a scary.

[@N3ur0m4nc3r]

15:08 Idk Dulcea's stroy line seemed ...*fleshed* out 2 me.

[@blitzerrhames]

When Dulcia appeared, there was a lil kid who said for the entire theatre to hear "Hubba hubba!"

[@dariley95971]

I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but I love that Dulcea's name looks and sounds very close to "dulcet", which means soft and sweet sounding. The irony is that her weapon against the Oozemen sounds like "nails on a chalkboard". I'm overthinking it, but it was a thought.

[@hanibalking7841]

My uncle bought me the movie the day it came out. He also got me a pack of power ranger cards and I literally pulled 1 of 12 holo Ivan ooze cards. Still got it

[@GunslingerMediaCo]

Im so glad Heavy Spoilers took on MT, this is gold. No one else can review this movie as well. I wouldnt care for this video if anyone else did it. This is perfect. Thank you MT.

[@revenire2913]

I remember finding, let's say, artsy pictures of Pink Ranger online when I was 12 years old.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

The costume performers don't get enough credit for their stunt work in this movie. Because those suits were grueling to perform in. Very limited range of motion and were extremely hot.

[@ryanharvey1125]

My uncle Neil Johnston filmed the ‘making of’ this beauty. I even got a feather from one of the crow bros.

[@effortlessGFX]

The scene where they are searching the car park/building site in the dark is engraved into my memory. Love it so much.

[@JeremyCannonJSC]

Always had the biggest crush on Rita and was instantly bummed when they changed her in the film version.

[@TKnHappyNess]

The six would wear the same clothes for the Season 3 four-parter "Ninja Quest"

[@JadenYukifan28]

That is true, but the name of the power they were given was different and so was the character who gave them that power....

[@ChadDude96]

I'm glad you brought up their unused special upgrades. On 11:37 and 11:39 Adam has a piece attached on the back-left side of his Black Ranger helmet.

[@pacificcoastbreeze]

The "Alien Rangers" and the ninja zords were taken from Kakuranger, and the animal zords correspond with the ninja rangers whose names were taken from Japanese folklore such as Jiraiya and the frog. Which is why the frog was a ninja zord. You'll notice these names and motifs again as characters in Naruto. I feel like that could have been explained better in a breakdown video of all things instead of saying the frog zord was ridiculous. lmao

[@ivanthegr8one]

That dig at ASJ at the end! 🤣

[@jukeboxjunkie1000]

Ivan Ooze! I got this film for my Christmas but there was a power cut due to heavy snow. I was itching to watch it and ended up having a massive argument with my dad who wanted to listen to his new record when the power came back on. The second I saw the title of this video that "Uh Oh, we're in trouble" song started playing in my head. My mum HATED that song. Safe to say I was in love with the pink Ranger.

[@SovietScotty]

The suits in this movie look so freaking good and still hold up to this day!

[@That_dude87]

My dude dropped an animorphs reference...damn I love this channel.

[@dstr001]

Fun fact; there is actually also a reused tenga warrior costume in that same SPD scene you see the rock monster in.

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid

[@giovannisynthesis]

I still remember watching this movie and going crazy for those McDonald toys. Till this day I still dig that shiny cgi.

[@matthewwolfson7204]

I remember when this came out. I was so excited. I hated how the Zords looked but it was a great movie. I was really Sad that Dolcea and Ivan Ooze weren't brought to the main line series. I think they missed and opportunity there. Especially since Rito seemed to have been a one off monster fight, Ivan could have easily replaced him . They made a whole set of toys featuring the new weapons. Even though we only got to we like 2 of them. I wish we had seen more. They pretty much abandoned the weapons aspect in the second and third seasons. With only Tommy having one.

[@emilyk5168]

The CGI for the zord battle was shockingly bad to me even in the 90s. I think I liked the rest of it though. I thought Paul Freeman actually tried and I appreciated that about him. He could've just kept cashing his Indiana Jones checks and stayed home. Would love a breakdown of Turbo.

[@HippeusOmega]

I always loved that sigh the dying Zordon gave listening to Ivan Ooze's commercial like just kill me and be done with it lol.

you're just making stuff up to suit some kind of weird narrative?

[@jonmurphy4889]

I remember when I got the Falcon Zord for something I think good test grades maybe. It was the one to have on the playground at school at your friend's house etc It was the coolest one out of this new group. Flash forward a few months my friend Shane was having a birthday party and I believe he asked for it and his mom got him a Mordant action figure instead😂😂😂 Yeah the pig guy!!! I'll never forget the look of disappointment on his face as he pulled it out after taking off the wrapping paper. It was so ugly and it was a big large bendable figure so it was like rubber and it had the wires in it to bend the arms and the legs. A horrible sickly greyish pink hue covered it with the darker armored pieces. You can look the figure up too 😂😂😂 It's so bad it's so gross lol he was so pissed off that was one of the first times I ever saw him get really angry as a kid. I'm flying around with the Falcons Zord our other friends have different ones and he's stuck with an oversized pigman thing that just bends its limbs every which way I remember him taking and whacking it off of a rock multiple times but because it was hard rubber it just kept bouncing back one time it hit him in the face😂😂😂 Oh man I'd do anything to go back to the good old days when toys was your only worry. I remember him chucking it across the playground at school and I had to go retrieve it because he wouldn't and his mom was pissed because it was so beat up and it was only a few days old like half his nose was missing his eye was missing just wear and tear scuffs and scrapes all over him pieces of rubber falling off I think he put a paperclip through his nose😂 📎 🐽 he hated that guy so much... Anytime anyone brought it up to him after the toy was eventually demolished he would get So angry If anyone read this whole thing I appreciate you going down memory lane with me live long and prosper friends 🤙👍👍

[@TitularHeroine]

Poor kid! Good story tho', thank you!

[@DeconvertedMan]

we need that kid who is a grown up now to come back and be the darn gold ranger.

[@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign]

Saw this in the cinema as a kid, and the hype was REAL! Queues out the building, we all had themed combo boxes of popcorns and drinks in these funky little trays and when the 'action boy now' or whatever song it was came on and they started kicking ass the packed theatre erupted. I dont care its cheesy, and camp, and non canon whatever, that was probably the best cinema going experience i ever had. And to put that into perspective, i saw Jurassic Park front row as a 7 year old, was front and centre for First Contact,Pokemon first movie, Titanic, Aladdin (the good one from the 90s with Robin williams), lion king, The Simpsons movie, Matrix and many other 'best movies' but none beat the vibe of Power Rangers the movie, man the films in the 90s just hit different.

[@arturocas90]

This movie would've been MUCH better written had Jason, Trini and Zack be included. It would've been a more ensemble cast. It is CLEAR that Tommy and Kim are the ones carrying the team and Billy also around but Aisha, Adam and Rocky are COMPLETELY relegated because they're new. The Red Ranger, such a powerful and forefront team lead in the show is just in the background with Rocky, this actually wasn't any different in the show either. As a kid, I LOVED the movie and I LOVED this alternative timeline, it felt much more cinematic, but if the original team had stayed I would've been BLOWN AWAY!

[@kateealer7]

I love Johnny's adlib of "I'm a frog..." and the actress's sweet response to him. I once saw him speak at a Comic-Con (dude is REALLY funny) and he said he wanted to do a similar thing in Turbo when he got the mini-van by saying, "But I DON'T EVEN HAVE A FAMILY!!!," but the movie runners nixed it. That line alone would have made Turbo Sooo much better.

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

I never noticed before, but instead of just holding out the morphers to, um, morph...they hold out the entire belt clip/holder too, weird,

[@raullukebenitez7033]

I remember when i first saw a behind the scenes short featurette for this on "The Pagemaster" vhs i had. SOON as it finally dropped on vhs we got and watched it almost everyday. That power ranger vhs was weird because when you fast forward to the very end of the tape it had the end fight from Double Dragon the movie as if it had been taped over 😂😂😂. I always wondered if i had a bootleg copy but the quality seemed too good to be bootlegged 😂😂😂

[@WeazelSenpai]

fun video, I'd love to see more oldies classic being delved into

[@jamiehudson2747]

You should have mentioned due to being over time that they also filmed episodes for the tv series here too. Ivan Ooze was hospitalised during production from on set injury. Not all of the movie was made in Sydney! I believe the dinosaurs in the forrest were in Queensland. Could have mentioned the tower used in the end was built for Sydney Olympics and still exists. Also the fact they originally filmed the ranger action sequences without the visors in the helmets but realised it looked ridiculous and reshot with visors added. This was later used in the 2017 movie with several scenes without visors

[@Lawsoncole34]

Some filming in Kiama also

[@Makoto03]

My favorite ranger is the White Ranger (rip Jason D. Frank) I got to see this movie in theaters when it came out. My best friends dad took us to go see it. My favorite part was when one ranger tells Rocky the red ranger to "Hang on" while his zord was swinging trying to hold on the Beatle zord and Red rangers replies, "Im hanging, Im hanging" haha I laughed so much and talked about it with my best friend as we walked out of the theater.
