Half man / corporate shill. It was a website once, back when this fandom used to _make_ things. I may have gone too far in a few places. IG:@rangerretrocenter

There's a really glaring continuity error at the end of 1995's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Most people will never even be able to spot it. Can you?

This is the miniature Rita Repulsa puppet made for "The Mutiny". Cast in resin, it featured articulated arms controlled by internal rods and wires to make them appear to wave &amp; struggle. Her imprisonment was filmed April 6th 1994 and her "White Light" appearance, June 29th '94.

This is from a direct-to-video promotion for Zyuranger made in 1992. I wonder if this makes King Brachion the first mecha ever to be rendered in CGI?

This is where I'm going to lose about 300 followers. I don't like the anime/kabuki stuff in PR. I think that if PR is ever to truly reinvent itself for a new generation, if it ever honestly wants to be seen as more than just that 90's karate show, it needs to lay it to rest.

Someone made a video of the Power Rangers assembling their Megazord in Seedance 2.0. 🔥🔥🔥 Hollywood's days are NUMBERED.

In the first version of "Changing of the Zords", the new Zords were called "Ancient Zords". It was only at the end of the episode that Zordon named them the Shogun Zords. The international masters of the episodes retained these names. The domestic did not. Which do you prefer?

This must have been an exhausting day in the studio and in the edit suite. They did really well! 20 years of morphing!

I always appreciated that they started making these Sentai Red handovers. It's interesting to see how the body language in a Red hero changes from his introduction to his handover. I cant decide which of these I like the best.

Power Rangers Turbo's "Spirit of the Woods" was written in July 1997, only a matter of weeks after the Megaranger episode it was based on had aired in Japan. This is probably the fastest an episode has ever been adapted in the shows entire 30 year history.

Power Rangers Time Force debuted today back in 2001! The first episode saw a few changes shortly before broadcast. Ransik's name was originally Morbis, and Circuit's name was originally Digit.

Just relax and pretend it's 2000 and you're watching Fox Kids.

Scott Page-Pagter's ADR team hid some unsubtle remarks in the original broadcast version of the 2001 Power Rangers Time Force finale, "The End of Time, Part I". They made backmasked Cyclobots say, "You are the size of a fucking condo", &amp; "You bitch, that's too much money". (1/3)

This is Jason David Frank's son Jacob (he was the baby in S2's "The Ninja Encounter"). It's WILD how much he sounds like JDF. Austin St. John -ASJ is helping him spread the word about his official JDF signed merch store on eBay. Head on to his IG to see the whole vid.

32 years ago this week saw the filming of the MMPR season 2 premiere: the two-part story named "The Return of Lord Zed". Cluster #17 was a 9-day shoot involving exteriors at Rowher Flats for the dirt biking and new stock footage Zedd's Chamber and the Thunderzord cockpits.

Villamax’s change of heart in PRLG's “Journey’s End, Part II” mirrors and inverts the flower scene from Frankenstein (1931). In the original, the monster accepts flowers from a little girl he tragically kills. Villamax, by contrast, accepts flowers from a girl he’s just saved.

It probably would have been more on-trend to have done this three months ago, I guess.

If I ever become a multi-millionaire, I'm making it my life's mission to remaster Power Rangers in HD. Power Rangers Zeo would look amazing!

Storyboards are like the blueprint for film- a comic strip of your ideas. They break down scenes &amp; shots to visualize the script, helping the director explain how the final product should look. These're from the climax of SPD's "Endings Part 2", along with the finished episode.
