"Sabin"? This is a really convaluted piece of information here, Power Rangers is the English language adaptation of a Japanese genre known as Super Sentai, or Super Taskforce, which is put together by the company Toei. Haim SABAN films the character scenes in Calfornia and then morphed and battle scenes are usually Sentai scenes, but the whole series is not Japanese.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Power Rangers came out in the 80's.</B></div> <div> <I>It came out in 1993. Super Sentai was around in the 1980's, but none of the 80's Sentai series have ever been used in Power Rangers except possibly in concept.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>It's called "Senti" because it's got "Henti" in it!</B></div> <div> <I>...Wha?? I'm assuming you mean "Sentai" and "Hentai" and have no comprehension of how spelling influences pronunciation, so let me just say, nooo.. "Sentai" means "Taskforce", "Hentai" means pervert, and wow, they rhyme. That automatically means they mean the same thing, because that's how Japanese works. Any two words that rhyme, even if they translate to mean "Mother" and "Stove", mean the same thing, because they rhyme. </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Joe Rovang wrote a bunch of the PR episodes and had a lot to do with the development of the American series.</B></div> <div> <I>Okay, I know Joe Rovang is a real bigshot in the PR fan community online, but that would be like saying.. actually, never mind, but honestly, this is not true.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sentai came out in 1992 and the first Sentai series was "Go! Rangers".</B></div> <div> <I>Here's the theory that Zyuranger is Goranger again. (Er.. "Go! Rangers"?!?) No, the Sentai genre originated in 1975 with Himitsu Sentai Goranger (all one word there). Zyuranger, the Sentai series MMPR is modeled after, did come out in 1992, however, but they are not at all the same series.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>There is very little that Saban changed in PR from the original Sentai!</B></div> <div> <I>Yes.. aside from the fact that absolutely everything that could possibly be different except for the fact that it's a team of five people in Spandex fighting evil monsters is different... Later on in the series I guess it gets more true to the Sentai, but try and convince ANYONE that MMPR season one is JUST like Zyuranger and you'll probably be laughed out of the room. </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>The third movie is coming out (any time from Spring 1998 to fall 2002), and will feature a team up of (the original cast, every ranger ever on PR,), will be anime/animated, will reveal the identity of the Phantom Ranger/ will be directed by Steven Spielberg/Robert Zemeckis/Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas... etc, etc, etc...</B></div> <div> Can we all spell "NO"!?!?!? This rumor has been circulating, literally, since T:APRM came out, and hasn't stopped since. With every new PR team, there is a movie rumor. Any time anyone even remotely affiliated with PR says the word "Movie", the PR fan community comes to a standstill. No, there is NO new movie coming out. And even if there was, would a director like Spielberg (or Zemeckis or whoever else) REALLY be the one to direct it? It's PR, for God's sake, and not to bash PR, but lordy, they have other projects already. </div> <bR> <div> <B>OTO is coming back.</B></div> <div> <I>Does anyone even remember OTO? I imagine this rumor will come back now that there's the MMPR Christmas special being aired. </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>One of the rangers will come out of the closet this season. </B></div> <div> <I><B>NOTE: This is a spoof on how people talk about wanting to see gay relationships on the show. </B></I></div> <div> <I>This can basically apply to ANY of the seasons.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>A swear word will be mentioned in a future episode. </B></div> <div> <I><B>NOTE: This is a spoof on when the phrase "shit happens" was uttered uncut, on an episode of Chicago hope.</B></I><I> </I></div> <div> <I>I miss that show.. :( People do claim that Cassie did indeed say "Shit" during a battle, and wow, the Cyclobots do end up to have potty mouths when their dialogue is played backwards, and I really know I heard Seymour say "Oh My God" in PRiS.. so.. uh oh.. get the censors in here, on the double!!!</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>There will be a movie to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the PR series. Since PRWF is going to be the final PR series, there will be a movie to celebrate it. All rangers from the past will be involved, and the movie will be called Power Rangers Forever. Saban is looking at Marilyn Manson, DMX, Al Pacino, Anne Robinson, Rob Zombie, Howard Stern, or James Gandolfini to play the main villain, who has the powers of all of the past PR villains combined.</B></I></div> <div> <I>The only thing I'm wondering about.. how many of these people will still be alive or even remembered by the public by 2003? The rest is TOTALLY possible, I mean, look at all the former cast members who are still on SUCH good terms with Saban!</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Power Rangers has been banned in Japan.</B></div> <div> <I>Power Rangers hasn't been broadcast in Japan until recently. And it sure hasn't been banned. And really, if Sentai doesn't get banned, what with all its episodes that deal with Narcotic usage, getting drunk and death after death after death (real deaths, no da), I don't think PR would be banned for its "Controversial" content.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Power Rangers gets heavily edited for American Children.</B></div> <div> <I>Indeed, there is much that Saban changes from Sentai. But why would Saban heavily edit his own show for American children? If the content wasn't appropriate to begin with, why was it filmed? (However, this is true of international broadcasts of MMPR in nations such as Australia and England, where episodes can end up as short as 15 minutes and fairly incomprehensible (if even aired at all) due to scenes deemed inappropriate by censors.) About the only thing that is changed from the original American MMPR is the bloopers from PRiS. Thanks to </I><A HREF="http://lavender.fortunecity.com/rampling/551/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://lavender.fortunecity.com/rampling"><U><I>Power Rangers Transcripts</I></U></A><I> for bringing this to the attention of the public.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>MMPR was banned in certain areas because of its Christmas episodes, and the fact that they aren't religiously neutral (They sing Silent Night, etc).</B></div> <div> <I>Okay, I am as big an advocate to religious freedom as anyone, but even I wouldn't ban a series for something as minor as this! Course, I'm not censors, now am I? Oh wait, it doesn't matter, because this isn't remotely true. I mean, they'd have to be pretty hypocritical censors, to mess with a show because of its violence, and then also mess with it when it sends a message of good will toward man. Like, whoa dude, make UP your mind!</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>It's always the real actors in the suits when morphed.</B></div> <div> <I>Isn't it so weird, though, how much their bodies change when it changes to Sentai footage? Or how the bodies of the morphed rangers differ so much from their civilian bodies (Justin doesn't count)? </I></div> <bR> <div> <B> TV Guide publishes a regular feature on PR, and often fortells essential plot points months before they happen.</B></div> <div> <I>TV Guide... sure we don't mean alt.fan.mmpr? </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>This series will have a teamup with all the rangers from season one up to (insert current series).</B></div> <div> <I>Speculates Symbolic Agony: "C</I>onsidering most of the earlier cast members left on bad terms and some refuse to acknowledge they ever were on PR (a la Amy Jo Johnson) they'll all come back for one really bad rushed episode.<I>" Which they'll then refuse to acknowledge took place. They'll also all refuse to be credited. ^^</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>The reason that they never show any of the Power Rangers bleeding is because they're worried that kids who watch it will try to mutilate themselves in order to bleed like the Power Rangers, who make it look cool.</B></div> <div> <I>Eric: (After falling 100 stories from his Quantasaurus Rex into a pile of rocks, being shot, blown up, slammed into the ground, thrown into a car and beaten to a pulp) "I ain't got time to bleed!"  Wes concurs, "It's a bad influence on the kids! They may try to slit their throats to be like us!" </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>The reason none of the PR swear is because it almost got the series thrown off the air when Trini said, "Oh my God!" in MMPR.</B></div> <div> <I>I'm sure it's ALL due to Trini saying "Oh My God" in MMPR that all the religious advocates and censors were trying to ban the series. Blame it all on THAT. They just SAID it was because of all the unmorphed violence and stuff, but now we all know the REAL truth! By the way, don't let the fact that the series is rated Y7 convince you that they wouldn't be swearing to begin with, all the OTHER kids' shows have swearing! Like South Park and The Simpsons.  </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Toei sued Saban for bootlegging Goranger.</B></div> <div> <I>Bootlegging Goranger. "SUPER GO! RANGER GO! With action FEETURE!!!" Packed on a flimsy card with graphics from Goranger, but the actual figures more closely resemble Batman and Robin, repainted. Or do they mean Saban was selling cheap unlicensed video tapes with poorly transferred episodes at airports in Hong Kong? </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Green Ranger will have a cameo in the Spiderman movie.</B></div> <div> <I>That's incredibly likely! (Note- People have been complaining that the suit of Green Goblin looks too much like a PR suit, which is most likely where this came from.)</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>It's all because of Power Rangers that the religious fanatics and censors fixed it so that childrens' programming is watered-down, sugar-coated, lacks depth and plots.</B></div> <div> <I>You know, I love how some people like to try to pin EVERYTHING on PR. I had the misfortune of coming across one particular site that wrote this entire essay (obviously sometime around the 1998-1999 TV season) on how the cartoons in the 1960's-1980's were much deeper, darker and meaningful than they are today, and that somehow, it's all PR's fault. Somehow, PR is responsible for X-Men's lack of violence (Which refers to the original X-Men, rather than Evolution) even though X-Men came BEFORE PR. It's also responsible for such atrocities as "Goosebumps" and other live-action shows, even though Nickelodeon has played similar shows since it came on the air, ALSO before PR existed in the US. And anyway, saying that kids TV in the 60s-80s was more mature than PR.. all I can say is that maybe it was, before it was dubbed into English. The real reason, IMO, that this happened is because the All-powerful Me Decade overcompensated on "Giving more to the generation after" and started getting spoiled and needing to find other outlets to use for the bad things their children may do, instead of taking responsibility themselves or making the kids take responsibility. Your son beats the crap out of another kid? He isn't at FAULT, it's something he saw on TV. And in leu of disciplining your kids, you may as well turn them into a victim, and get some money out of it. </I></div> <div> <I> Someone made a movie about this exact thing once, it was called </I><U>South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut</U>.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Saban and his wife Trini named the Power Rangers after their kids.</B></div> <div> <I>Haim Saban, Proud father of Kim, Tommy, Jason, Billy, Aisha, Rocky, Adam, Kat, Tanya, Justin, Cassie, T.J., Ashley, Carlos, Andros, Zhane, Leo, Kai, Damon, Maya, Kendrix, Mike, Karone, Carter, Chad, Joel, Kelsey, Dana, Ryan, Wes, Jen, Trip, Lucas, Eric Katie, Cole, Alyssa, Taylor, Danny and Max Saban. And him and his wife are still crankin' them kids out! </I></div> <bR> <div> <B>A PR special will air this summer. It will be called Power Rangers: Secrets and Scandals. Learn about which actors walked off the set the most. Learn about all the conflicts Amy Jo Johnson had with the other cast. Learn about the sexual harassment Blake Foster put up with from his fellow cast members.</B></div> <div> <I>The scary part? I think in another 20 years we may see something like this. </I></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
