![]() John (as Jason Lee Scott/the Red Ranger), Walter Jones (as Zack Taylor/the Black Ranger), and Thuy Trang (as Trini Kwan/the Yellow Ranger). ![]() Notably absent are series regulars Austin St. Three of the original Rangers from the series reprise their roles in the film: David Yost as the geeky Billy Cranston (but without glasses)/the Blue Ranger Jason David Frank as martial artist and likely black belt Tommy Oliver/the White Ranger and my favorite, Amy Jo Johnson as Kim Hart/the Pink Ranger. Will the Rangers arrive in time before it's too late? Ivan orders them to the construction site where they'll dig up his towering war machines know as the Ecto-Morphicons. When the kids' parents touch it, they transform into zombies. Meanwhile, Ivan has tricked Angel Groove's youth into buying his poisonous ooze in mass-produced quantities. The Rangers work at earning the power of the Ninjetti so they're endowed with the necessary strength to defeat them. Dulcea guides the Rangers to an ancient temple where animal-like guardians protect the Monolith which stores the Great Power. There they meet the earthly goddess and Master Warrior Dulcea (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick), who aids them in their fight against large birds of prey known as the Tengu. Zordon has an assignment for you, Rangers.Īlpha 5 sends the Rangers to the remote planet of Phaedos where they hope to find the Great Power, which is the key to rejuvenating Zordon. Out for revenge, Ivan wreaks havoc in the Center and deliberately short-circuits Zordon, robbing the Rangers of their prime energy source and morphing powers. Zordon was an archenemy of Ivan's 6,000 years ago when he vanquished the purple creature. A shape-shifting creature named Ivan Ooze (Paul Freeman) emerges from the egg and immediately heads to the Command Center, which is home to the Rangers' allies, the automaton Alpha 5 and Zordon, an inter-dimensional being akin to the disembodied Wizard of Oz.

(After I told my peers about her, they often asked me about my "dream girl" in school.) When creators Haim Saban and Shuki Levy announced they were adapting the series into a feature film, I couldn't wait for 20th Century Fox to release it into theaters. I also developed a crush on Kimberly Hart (aka the Pink Ranger), who was played by Amy Jo Johnson. I remember becoming intrigued by the show when I saw the menagerie of monsters created by Rita's old scientist Finster, who sculpted them in clay and cranked them out through his Monster-Matic machine. Based on series from the Super Sentai franchise, MMPR was a cool action series featuring five (and later six) teens from the fictional town of Angel Grove in California who do battle with evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her minions.
