So much conflict and angst that was abandoned when he became the squeaky-clean White Ranger. But, just think he's been the Green Ranger, the White ranger, The Red Zeo Ranger, and the Black Brachio Ranger. I suddenly hope that, when I get old, I get to watch a geriatric Jason Frank as a very elderly Tommy Oliver that magically transforms into a young healthy Power Ranger in what ever version of Power Rangers I end up annoying my fellow nursing home residents with in the future. Anyway, I'm surprised you didn't make it past the first 15 minutes of the movie. I kinda consider the MMPR movie to be one of the highlights of their heyday, and one of the few advantages PR has over it's Japanese Super Sentai counterpart (which I usually prefer). Ivan Ooze is one of my favourite movie villains ever. I only saw the Turbo movie once, but I'm about to rectify that (I just found it on Youtube, and I have no better ideas on how to spend the night). I'm surprised they're both on DVD. Are any cool bonus features? BTW I'm developing a flash series right now. Want me to send you an E-Mail about it? The Green Ranger is my favourite incarnation of Tommy.

I also have it on DVD, and I sat down to watch it once, but it annoyed the flip out of me 15 minutes into the film so I popped it out and watched <i>TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze</i> that evening instead. Maybe one of these days I'll try again... and since I have the Turbo movie on DVD as well, I could make a marathon of sorts of it. :P That White Ranger is from this year, actually! It's one of the Super Legends Collector Series chase figures packed in with the Jungle Fury figures -- earlier this year they had the Green Ranger (ALSO the same dude!) and Zedd, and currently the White Ranger and the Gold Ranger are the coveted figures. I actually picked up the White Ranger with intent to use him for a possible Casshan custom, but I've found that I like him too much to do anything to him! He's also got far too many protruding details, which makes him a less than ideal Casshan base. Anyway, I recommend the figure -- especially since you're such a Ranger fan -- so grab him if you see him! :) I think I'll pass on the SFPR movie -- I haven't seen those Parody Rangers eps and don't remember the MMPR movie well at all, though I did see it in the local budget theater as a kid.

Actually, I do remember seeing the commercials for "Dino Thunder" about Tommy returning as they're teacher. I wanted to start watching Power Rangers again because of that, but it's time-slot was way too inconvenient. It's funny that you posted something Power Ranger related, though. Because I've been on something of a Power Ranger kick lately because of all the great Power Ranger parodies on the net. In fact, Chris Niosi finally posted the first installment of "Super Freakin' Parody Rangers: The Movie" (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/462653). Recommended only if you saw all three episodes of Parody Rangers, remember the MMPR movie well, don't mind watching a feature length flash movie broken up into 5 minute segments, and have the sense of humor of a 12 year old (I qualify wonderfully). Anyway, How recent was that White Ranger toy made anyway? I'd be surprised if they're still making toys based on that version of PR. Well they're only both the same guy in the American version.
