[PSJ]

power rangers aws cool when they still were called mighty morphin' i think i saw like season 1 and 2 before it got banned from swedish television, some mothers complained about the violence.

[basey44]

yea psj those were the days, i likes how wen they were shot or something sparks came off their chests and they would all do a falling over flippy thing at the same time, lol cant believe i remeber some of this shit

apparently the power rangers eps were all a hybrid of japanese and english live action.....
anytime they were wearing their uniforms, it was the original footage from japan. Anytime they werent in their suits and went about their everyday teenage drama, it was newer footage spliced in from america. I guess that explained the weird way they always exaggerrated their movements whenever they got shot up by monsters (japanese were never known for their live action)

Yup I realised it the first time I saw the Power Rangers. Pretty obvious, as the US filmed sequences had minor differences in the ranger suits, for eg. a fatter Red Ranger, side metal catches on the helmets, brighter colours, etc. Some times the producers even went as far as include the non action scenes from the original Jap shows, but they were usually careful enough to hide the Japanese people's faces away from the camera.

[PSJ]

hhahahah i didnt know that, but for some reason when they are in their suits you never see a human face, its just those weird grey things and then the monster of the episode.

[2:25]

Maybe for some stunt men, although, I don't remember if they need any....

edit: opps, I misread. There's no human face underneath?

no they all wear masks all the time while the rangers are in their suits, if i remember correctly anyway it was a loooooong time ago.

[GhostKaGe]

i only ever watched power rangers because of the pink ranger i had this thing for her when i was like 10

[Assertn]

the stunt men for the power rangers and monsters were completely covered

however i guess Rita is the only japanese actor that isnt replaced with an english version and isnt completely covered, since she actually participates in the fights sometimes. That's why she looks dubbed over when you see her talk


Psyke, the only way you would've noticed that was if you were older than 10 when you watched power rangers.......is this true??

[Psyke]

I think I was around 12. Well I still watch Ultraman Nexus nowadays and other sentai/toku stuff ocasionally.
But I think I've had enough of the US made stuff....... not to say they are horrid but they lose the feel of the original Japanese versions.

[Death BOO Z]

well, since this topic has turned to all cartoons topic, i'll post a question here instead of openning a new topic.
how does magneto (x-men) fly? i always thought that he was using magnetic force to repel him from the ground, but my brother suggested today that he flies by wearing the metal suit and picking it (and himself) using his powers....
so, who is right? or is there a secret number 3 answer?

[Mut]

Since when did Magneto need an explanation as to how he can fly? Magneto needs no such thing.

[Deblas]

Magneto sucks anyway. Cable's the man.

[Death BOO Z]

well, i'll agree that cable is much cooler than magneto, But magneto is still one of the best villians in X-men, and plus, he's jew so i'm biased towards him.

so, speaking of Cable, was he a mutant or not? I never read the comic and i had only a few seasons of the cartoon to base my knowledge upon. I saw him appearing three times, once when he was trying to stop bishop from changing the history, once when he saved Gambit (one of my favorites) in Genova island, and once when fighting Acoplypse in the future, they never mentioned what exactly was he...
