Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[ZariusTwo]

Update on the new season:

The logo and title of the next season has been finalized and the sheets for the toyline are being distributed to insiders in public relations. The rumour (and I stress this word), right now is the next season could be a HYBRID SHOW, Goseiger and Gokaiger merged as one series Robotech-style.

This would make a lot of sense, as the audition casting sheets listed Goseiger colours, but used scripts taken from Gokaiger.

Hey dont know if any of you know this but Jason David Frank a.k.a the white/green ranger is a professional MMA fighter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaXXPRfbBQI
He also has a tatoo that says "Jesus never tapped" I just thought its badass bc I am christian

[ZariusTwo]

JDF also put rumours of his turning down Saban's offer to come back for a voice-over cameo to bed by revealing he'd never even heard of it.

The stuff fans make up to generate gossip

Good news on the 40-Disc set, at least we know we have a guranteed seven years coming out. Smart move also to have a distinct "Zordon Era" set (Lost Galaxy is kind of an epilouge, so it's inclusion makes sense)

9-0 means s*it where he comes from. Niche bargain basement leauges with no-name talents, ex-professional wrestlers or over the hill combatants don't count.

[Stingray69]

Yea ive know that for a while, I wouldnt mess with him.

Any one else know that jason lee scott the first red ranger did gay porn?

He's a novelty act on the local circuit of bottom of the barrel MMA promotions fighting cans and washed up karate school dropouts.

Let's not oversell the guy just because he was on a show you liked.

People still beleive that s*it? That was proven false YEARS ago. Get with the times. Austin St. John is an ambulance driver these days.

Very true. He works out of Fairfax,Virginia taking calls for Rescue Squad type emergencies. He cleared it up in a video posted on youtube at the last Convention. Anyone who believes that is just plain naiave if not stupid. I briefly met him when he was on hand at a high school football playoff game in Fairfax and if he is not into the acting thing other than the ocassional the job really suits him. I hope he does more with his martial arts as well!

As for JDF in MMA. He is not 9-0. He is 5-0. The first four were in a Texas based minor league.Then he went pro for a fight which he also won. Its a non-mainstream professional league he signed with,Strikeforce I think. He was supposed have had a second fight lined up but his opponent was injured and then after fans could pick between five individuals in his Light-Heavyweight class but he was injured himself and I have not found anything after that. Its been over a year since his last fight. If any of you know of his second professional fight post it here. If you guys do Facebook ask on his Fan Page. You never know if you will get ans answer.

I'm sure it'll cost a damn lot of money, but I might just have to keep that in mind, as it'll be a LONG while until the rest of the seasons up to PRLG will get released. I don't know if this is good or bad, but at least TimeLife will give the option of paying in installments. Anyway, this has me wondering if they'll also release a box set covering PRLR-PRRPM. Maybe they'll do PRLR-PRWF and then PRNS-PRRPM.

I might just have to see if they'll give VR Troopers and BeetleBorgs the complete series set treatment. If they do, I'm all over that. No questions asked. At least those two had under 100 episodes.

This is exciting didn't expect this, counting that the later seasons didn't have as many episodes as the first seasons they could easily do a second boxset of PRLSR-PRRPM the episode count would be roughly the same.

If they ever did do that, keep in mind that that set would have 24 more episodes than the MMPR-PRLG set will.

More than likely. He's a really nice guy and he usually responds to all, or nearly all, of his wall posts. He called me "Bro" one time. In my eyes we're like best friends who go way back now.

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently the extra features will only be on this megaset and not the standard volume/sets which will be released in stores...must have been one of the stipulations of the Time Life deal.

Its nice to think that but your friend JDF may not know your name. He really treats his fans great and is a great role model unlike some. I looked up to him between ages 6-10 and still appreciate his expliots at 25. Why don't you ask since your e-pals? Hope to find out about possible sixth fight pending injury.


Any of you ever met a Power Ranger actor in person?

wow really??? strikeforce has some of the best fighters from what I hear, pretty amazing he won a strikeforce fight in only his 1 match, and thanks for correcting me, I didn't know the exact details....

[ZariusTwo]

Strikeforce is the WCW of MMA. And not in a "1995-1997 WCW" way.
