MMPR Rumors
Billy and Trini dated in MMPR.
You know, it would be pretty sad to find out that her translating the use of his extended vocabulary to the other PR constitutes "dating", because that's about as far as it ever went. The whole "Oh no, Billy's at the top of a cliff, I have to go save him" doesn't really count, because deciding to have him be the weak one in that situation is really no big thing, he didn't know any form of martial arts, so of course he couldn't defend himself. Besides, throughout the course of the series, Billy had enough romantic interests to definitely tide him over, and Trini left..
Billy was the only original ranger throughout the entire Power Rangers series! Even Kimberly left before him.
That's for damn sure! You only THOUGHT he left for good in Zeo! But it was all a lie! He's been in every single episode of Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue and of course, Time Force, which was the height of his career as Billy; It was all thanks to him that the world was saved in "The End of Time"! He rebuilt the Rad Bug, which Jen and Wes used to run over Ransik! He had the best line at the end, "No one wants a mutation reputation!" And they laughed and laughed and then Mr. Collins' toupee flew off and he got hit in the face with a pie..
There are (most commonly 2 or 6) seasons of MMPR.
There are 3 and only 3 seasons of MMPR. Why some people seem to think that every time the opening credits change (if that was the case, there would be roughly 9 seasons..) or new rangers come constitutes a new season is beyond me, but it isn't true. A very basic way to determine seasons is which Zords the PR use. Season 1, they use the Dinozords. Season 2, Thunderzords, Season 3, Ninjazords/Shogunzords.
There are 300 episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
They're all Lost Episodes!! Seriously, this is a somewhat common misconception. During Lost Galaxy, POWER RANGERS celebrated its 300th episode, but MMPR itself, which is only the first series and ended in 1996, had considerably fewer.
Kimberly and Jason had a secret love.
I don't know why they would, the idea of pink and red being a couple is a somewhat recent development (unless you count Tommy and Kat in Zeo..) and so.. they went scuba diving together in the Turbo Movie.. I mean...wow.. why didn't they have to get married? It's scandalous!
Kim and Zack were a couple before Tommy came.
That's why Zack was always going after Angela, eh? Because he already had a girlfriend? Makes absolute sense to me!
Scorpina and Goldar were having an affair.
Having an affair with who? Oh, each other? Well, not in MMPR, no, although they did have a child together in Zyuranger.
MMPR is a Japanese show called "Go Rangers".
ARGH!! I was really mad the first time I discovered that this isn't true, because why do they tell us that it is on the damn CREDITS?! And why did Austin St. John even SAY it was based on Goranger? The footage and rudimentary plotlines come from a later Sentai series called "Kyouryu Sentai Zyuranger". I honestly don't know why they never mention Zyuranger (except on the ending credits of the lost pilot episode special, not that they associate it with MMPR or anything like that, and they call it "Zyu Rangers") but any Sentai site will tell you that MMPR is very obviously based on it. The only similarity MMPR has to Goranger is the use of "Color Ranger" for their title (Red Ranger, Pink Ranger, etc). Leave it to Saban to confuse the crap out of millions of fans.
MMPR is based on a TV show in Japan called "Zeorangers".
Heh. "Zeorangers" is a title used on certain Power Rangers Zeo VCDs to avoid copyright infringements. (Not that the pictures of the rangers and Zords on the covers aren't obvious enough) MMPR is based on "Zyuranger".
Jason, Zack and Trini went to Germany.
Switzerland.
Rita is 10,000 years old.
So she was barely out of the womb when Zordon sealed her away? What a crappy childhood she must have had, and what a meanie Zordon is to imprison a little kid!
Goldar raised Rita from the time she was a child.
Yeah, Master Vile just brainwashed her into believing he's her Dad and she knew him and all that. Rito's not her brother, either.
Trini's a drag queen because when she's morphed, you can see her *CENSORED*, plus she has no chest.
Ever heard of Sentai footage..? In Zyuranger, the Yellow Ranger WAS a man, they just made the character a woman in America. And really, like any of the female rangers have much of a chest, in either Sentai or PR?
Trini is Scorpina.
Oh ho! So THAT's why whenever they're morphed Trini suddenly turns into a man! Because it's a fake and Trini's away being Scorpina! Thaaaat explains everything!
Tommy stayed evil, he manipulated the PR into trusting him and he participated in kidnapping Zordon.
...um... what?? He sure spent a lot of time helping everyone out, and that whole kidnapping Zordon thing really blew up in his face, didn't it? Why didn't we see him "Turn good" in PRiS?
Kat can still turn into a cat whenever she needs to.
When would she ever have occasion to "need to" turn into a cat after she wasn't working for Rita anymore?
Most of the original MMPR rangers don't get along and only fight together because they have to.
Sure spend a lot of time hanging out together and calling each other their best friends, don't they.. I admit that at first they were a little awkward toward each other and they weren't incredibly nice to Billy, but they got along okay.
Jason has to use the bathroom when he summons the Dinozords, because he bounces up and down a lot.
"We Need Dinozord Pow-Whoa whoa whoa, hold it, gotta use the can first!"
The Power Rangers were turned into little kids so they wouldn't get their Power Coins back.
So they wouldn't get their power coins back..? They had their Power Coins, but then Zedd destroyed them.. so how would their being their normal age have brought them back? Okay, maybe if they were older they could have stopped Rito and Goldar from swiping them, but that wasn't *Why* they were turned into kids.
Finster uses the Clay Dough Machine to make monsters.
Heh, my own personal mistake. I didn't know what it was called so I just referred to it as the Clay Dough Machine for a long time.
The castle Rita lives in is called the Dark Dimension.
Another of my mistakes. The Dark Dimension is that little room where the Green candle was kept, with a lot of dry ice and smoke, dangit.
Kimberly has a cat named PC.
...Who mysteriously turns into a girl named Kat.. but not that she affected the story or anything, it was all a filler subplot in the first season, along with that whole Green Ranger thing that ended up amounting to nothing. I mean, dude, there *IS* no Green Ranger. Hello!
"Zords" are the levels of power that the suits contain.
I actually thought this when I was about 8 and first started watching the show. I don't know what I thought those big robot Dinosaur things were called..
When they get their Ninjazords, Kim and Tommy share a zord because she loses her powers.
You mean *Shogunzords*? Yes, Tommy and Kim/Kat do share a zord, but it wasn't really because Kim lost her powers, it was basically because Kim was on her way out and the series was almost over and all that stuff, along with the fact that the footage came from Kakuranger and there were only 5 of them. They used a lot of money saving tactics in late season 3, including repeating villain footage with changed dialogue. ><
Rito and Master Vile were conspiring against Rita and Zedd.
If Rito had to keep a secret from anyone, I can't imagine it would work out very well.. besides, what would they have to gain? And why would they do it?
Rocky, Adam and Aisha aren't real Power Rangers.
That's right. They're faux PR, and cruelty-free.
Kim has to live with Aisha because her mom is in Jail.
"Jail" meaning "France with her fiance."
The Face snatcher stole their personalities too.
Oh whoa, is that HARSH! That is just.. whoa, mean!!
Scorpina's Japanese name is "Lammy".
Um.. Mary Had a little Lammy. It's actually "Lamii" by the way..
Trini collected Gnomes.
*Stifles laugh*. You have to wonder, I mean.. Ticklesneezer.. whoo.. but technically she just collected dolls.
If you play the putties' vocals backwards, you hear satanic messages.
Noo, but if you play the Cyclobots' speech backwards, you hear profanity..
Rocky is gay. In "The Potion Notion", the "girl" he says hi to is his transexual lover.
....What in the name of our Blessid Union of Souls?!?! As if him saying "hi" to someone would constitute any sort of relationship at all, but.. wow, this is twisted!
In Zyuranger, their morph scene is really graphic, and they're all nude with no censorship.
That's why it's for little kids! Showing real life actors totally nude on kids tv is a-okay over in Japan!
Jason was a juvenile delinquent before he reformed his life to become a PR.
Yeah, it was really weird. He had this dream one night where he was going to suddenly be called upon to possess amazing superpowers but he would only be allowed to use them if he straightened out his life, and the rest is history!
The Rangers weren't chosen to be PR, they were destined to be PR.
That's why when one had to conveniently leave, they could pass their "Destiny" onto another totally random person who had nothing going for them except martial arts ability and a lot of charity work. That also totally explains how the PRiS, LG, LSR and TF powers work. It was all destiny, yup, alllllllll destiny.
Bulk and Skull were secretly in love with each other.
Oh COME ON!!!!! Think about it! They became Junior Police in order to GET GIRLS!
Ernie knew all the time who the PR were.
Sure he did. That's a totally reasonable assumption, I mean, he sat and asked who the PR were just like the PR themselves did, and even though he KNEW who they were, he couldn't have TOLD them he knew, because then they'd know he knew, and the world would blow up or something because their destiny would have been compromised. Yup.
Lieutenant Stone and Mrs. Appleby were lovers.
Hmm. Well, she did call him "Jerome". And they did dance that one time, even though a bunch of other noncouples danced as well (Kim and Skull, Billy and Aisha, Rocky and his transexual loverboy), so yeah, I guess they were an item. Sure, why the hell not.
Adam couldn't get a girl because he acted too feminine.
I notice this is in the past tense. At what point did he become masculine enough to attract women? Maybe it was the lantern episode...
Rocky, Adam and Aisha were having a threesome affair.
Makes sense. There were three of them, that's just the right number for a threesome. Three.
The Juice Bar served alcohol.
Yeah, and no one ever paid either.. man, why wasn't Ernie behind bars long ago?
Zack's last name is Johnson, and he was 17.
Um.. Taylor. You know, like the President. He was 17 though.
It's spelled "Zach".
It sure looks that way on a lot of old PR merchandise, doesn't it?
Kimberly's last name is Johnson, and she was 18.
Hum.. two Johnsons in a row, and neither are right. Kimberly Johnson.. is that some scary hybrid between the company that makes the toilet paper and the company that makes the baby shampoo? She's also not 18, at least I don't *think* she could be, since she was the same age as everyone else and they didn't graduate until Turbo, which was like 2 years after she left.. which was like 2 years after she came on the show..
Jason had to leave the show because his yelling made him lose his voice.
Heeeheeheeeee.. Hoo. Well... *bursts into hysterical laughter*
Zack went on to be a backup dancer for J.Lo.
O.o I'm sure that's just how he wanted to make his way in the world.
Billy was in high school until he was in his 30's, he had a wife and kids.
Um.. nooo comment, except to say that David Yost was over 27 at the time that MMPR the Movie was released..
Billy was afraid of bees.
Noo, he was afraid of getting a "B" for a grade, which was the sole reason he remained in high school until he was 34, because of that ONE ".B".
Tommy had a problem with his memory.
Yeah, he actually never once lost his green ranger powers! Instead, he kept forgetting where he left his morpher or forgetting what to say when he had his morpher! There was one episode where he suddenly and mysteriously had a serious memory problem, but it was really never heard from again.
Saba was the actual leader of the PR.
The talking sword was the leader..
Ernie and Mrs. Appleby were the same person.
My dad had this theory sometime during PRiS's initial run and we were reminiscing about the good old days. I'm going to let you think about this for awhile. Just think about it.
Lieutenant Stone was promoted because he kicked Bulk and Skull off the force.
Guess the Force isn't with them. Anyway.. he never kicked Bulk and Skull off the force.. I don't think they could have gotten kicked off the damn force if they blew up the city. They flippin left.
Tommy and Jason were brothers.
Hmm. I have to wonder why this never came up, except for them calling each other "Bro".
Trini got thrown off the team because she contributed nothing.
Yes.. and Kimberly was the most essential member of the team.
Kim was replaced by a girl named "Kit".
You mean KAM was replaced by KIT. Yeez, get it straight!
MMPR is based on a Japanese show called "Dino Riders".
Dino Riders.. wasn't that some weird 80's cartoon or something?
MMPR rips off Voltron!
Rips off Voltron.. which Rips off Golion.. which rips off every other 70's anime with robots in it.. ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is the mother of all copyright infringements! We'll start with Medabots and take out all those godforsaken anime series that rip off our precious VOLTRON!! Lance is my idol! He SO should have gotten together with Princess Allura!! "AND I'LL FORM THE HEAD!!"
Bulk and Skull's initials spell out Bulls***.
F.B. and E.S. spell B***s***. Someone didn't pass third grade, I gather!
David Bowie was supposed to play Ivan Ooze.
Odie makes a fine comparison: "Yes, and I can only see when my mouth is open!"
PC stood for "Pretty Cat".
"Poor Cat". Although Kim remarked that it should stand for "Pretty Crazy". ^_^
Jason David Frank left the show to get married.
Sorry, he already was married, with kids to boot.
The original MMPR cast will return to be the Rangers for Wild Force (2002)!
Um.. so that would make them how old now? Never mind! I know fans have been crying for a reunion, but.. can we all say "STOOPID"?
The Morphin Grid was an alternate dimension where the PR went to practice battle.
Wouldn't that be the Juice Bar? In VR Troopers, they went to the Battle Grid... but it wasn't really practice...
Angel Grove HS is a K-12 school.
This is untrue, although there are a few occasions where you have to wonder, such as certain "Messages from the Power Rangers" where there are 12 year old kids in the school, and that one where the PR went back in time and little Kim was doing long division in Mrs. Appleby's class at about age 9..with a bunch of other 9 year olds...
Billy's IQ is 400.
Well, I'll admit, he sure did become a black belt in Kara te in a record amount of time... I mean, 2 months after he became a ranger, BAMMO! He's leaving Tommy bleeding in the dust!
Billy was in college when he was 5.
Which fully explains why he was in high school when he was 16.
Jason made his way to college as a male gigolo.
He's just a gigolo... and all that time studying and going to Switzerland ended up to be pointless, because he still had to resort to the world's oldest profession, which teaches kids that going to school and studying STILL won't get you into college! Go Go Jason.
Kimberly is actually the best fighter and the best strategist of the team.
Great Stereo!
Tommy still called Kat "PC" in bed.
Next...
Colin Mochrie played Zordon.
At least he went on to be on a prime time show, eh? *cheers for Mr. Mochrie*
Ryan Stiles was Lord Zedd.
We all WANT to be Lord Zedd...
Jason only talked big, he couldn't beat up anyone.
It's true, he wouldn't be able to beat up anyone after all those years of martial arts training.
Scorpina/Lammie is Goldar's twin sister.
First of all, it's Lamii. 2 I's, one M. Yeez! And wow, yes, they sure are twins, aside from the fact that he's a winged monkey and she's a scorpion. Yoooou betcha. Twins.
Jason David Frank left power rangers to star in the Musical "RENT".
Odie Serenades us: "He's not gonna play, He's not gonna Play, He did not play, in RENT!"
Madonna played Rita Repulsa.
Odie: "Nope.. but her bra did."
Johnny Yong Bosch is now playing the Bee-Man in a famous Mexican Comedy.
Odie exclaims: "El, no es possiblo!"
Austin St. John and Amy Jo Johnson starred in a porn called "Mighty Humpin Power Rangers".
We need... well, I'll leave that to the imagination.
Alpha 5 has a brother named C-3PO.
Both robots, both have annoying voices, both first movies had scrolling text that disappeared into the horizon, both series have similar sounding pep slogans ("Let the Power Protect You", "May the Force Be With You")... By God.... it MUST be true!
Kimberly and Aisha were lesbians, that's why they shared a room.
Coincedence that Kim's mom up and left? I think not!
Mrs. Appleby is the missing link.
Goodby!
Mr. Kaplan was fired as principal because of molesting children and aliens.
I'm GLAD that pedophile kept losing his toupee now!
Skull was a shakespearian actor.
His potential was thoroughly explored in all ways, shapes and forms in his first sold-out starring role in "Rumpelstiltskin", along with never-heard-from-again losers Kimberly Hart and Farkus Bulkmeier, who is rumored to be Mr. Skullovich's gay lover.
Billy was Ernie's son.
Hey, that explains why Billy got permission right away, no questions asked, to go to Aquitar.
Squatt and Baboo were Rita's love slaves.
Now this is just...wrong...
Billy is a pimp and Kim and Aisha are his call girls.
All of which is perfectly appropriate for a childrens' TV show. Besides, Billy isn't the one wearing the ostentatiously colored clothing...
Ernie made it clear in season 2 that he was not going to waste any more cakes, so there haven't been any cakes on the show since, because they may decide to write Ernie in to falling into the cake.
...Ummmmm.... yeah... okay.. terrible risk of that in Wild Force, wouldn't you say..
Trini and Zack went out for awhile.
Such a brief while you never even knew about it!
Kat is Kim and Tommy's daughter.
Awful. So where'd the accent come from?
Mrs. Appleby's first name is Holda.
I feel sorry for her growing up. Holda Appleby.
It's Mrs. Applebee.
Eatin' goood (Eatin' good, eatin good) At the Neighborhood Gym and Juice bar!
One interpretation of the PR story...
Thousands of years ago a great war was fought between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Zordon, a great and powerful wizard led the forces of good, and Rita Repulsa, a horrible witch, led the forces of evil. For years the battle raged, but the war ended in a tie, so Rita and Zordon decided to flip five magic coins, to see who would control the universe.
Doesn't that kinda sound like Zeus, Poseidon and Hades drawing lots to see who would control Heaven, Hell and the Ocean..? And anyway, if you flip 5 coins, how would that come out even? And.. um.. how does a WAR end in a tie? And why would Zordon put something as all-important as.. um...THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE on a coin toss?
Zordon won the toss, but Rita was so angry that she trapped Zordon in another dimension, and as a result Zordon must stay trapped inside a column of green light forever in a big, dark command center with his little droid Alpha 5 as his only friend.
Poor Zordon, locked forever in that big, dark, cold, damp, musty Intergalactic high-tech command center, with no one but an annoying little robot to watch football with. Notice, however, that it's never mentioned that Zordon trapped HER in the space dumpster afterwards, nor is the sixth power coin mentioned. And, Zordon's tube is suddenly green.
The Power Rangers are a group of teenagers selected by Zordon, Commander of the forces of good, to defend the earth against evil forces.
Which wouldn't EXIST if he hadn't allowed the stupid TIE. And.. um.. he really doesn't do much as his "Commander" status, except tell the PR what's going on in downtown Angel Grove and that it's a dangerous mission.
The teenagers have the ability to transform into Power Rangers. As Power Rangers, they have superhero powers.
Each Power Ranger is also given command of his own 'Zord', or colossal fighting machine. Throughout the various seasons, the Power Rangers face a variety of villains and take control of various powerful Zords to help them fight evil.
Never mentioned how Zordon is *DEAD*. The site was put up on January 20th of 2002, yet only contains photos from MMPR-Turbo, and one Lightspeed Rescue photo.
A new MMPR movie is coming out, in which Tommy and Kim get married.
I'm sure Jason David Frank and Amy Jo Johnson are both just screaming to reprise their roles. O.o;;; Also.. wasn't their relationship kinda.. like.. over?
MMPR is derived from a series called "Jewrangers".
Oy Gevalt, Deemee! Guess we didn't call Ma often enough to learn that it's actually Zyuranger, which IS pronounced "juurenjaa", but has nothing to do with Judaism!
