Power Ranger Jason David Frank Leaves Earth At 49

Power Ranger Jason David Frank Leaves Earth At 49

, , 15

90s kids everywhere received horrible news over the weekend with the discovery that actor Jason David Frank, eighth degree black belt in karate and star of the original Power Rangers series, had passed. He was 49. Out of all the hundreds of Rangers that have ever been, Frank’s character was perhaps the most iconic. Introduced as the Green Ranger and originally in a villainous role, Tommy Oliver reformed at the end of his arc and eventually turned into the White Ranger, leading the team from that point. While there were some young actors who had higher aspirations and couldn’t run away from Power Rangers fast enough, Frank LOVED the show and its fans, and stuck around as long as he possibly could. Because of this, Tommy Oliver is the one constant in the rotating, nearly 30-year history of the series. He was the lead in both the original Mighty Morphin’ series and its follow-up Zeo. He guest-starred in Power Rangers Turbo, reappeared during the tenth anniversary, and came back for

Power Rangers Film Almost Had Original Team In It

One of the things that was made clear when the Power Rangers film was revealed was that this would be a modern take on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team. So it was really cool when at the beginning of the movie, we saw a different take on the “original” team. I.E. Zordon was a Ranger, as was Rita. But according to director Dean Israelite in an interview with Comicbook.com, he almost had a different opening, one that would’ve had the full original team in action. So why did it change? Well, it wanted a more personal and impactful opening: “I always wanted to make it very subjective, very personal and this kind of intimate opening that set your expectations, that you know that you’re going into a superhero movie that’s going to try to do something a little bit different with the genre. It’s trying to be this more sort of personal character-driven story as opposed to a big fantastic opening that I think we’ve come to expect from

This year has had a lot of risky and interesting films come to the Box Office, from Wonder Woman, Fast and Furious 8, Justice League coming later, there’s a lot of films that were/are banking on big box office returns. One of the early films of the year to do this was Power Rangers. This was the modern take on the original classic kids show. And while the film didn’t fail per se, it didn’t really make a box office splash. The film is about to come to DVD/Blu-Ray, and many are hoping that the sales of it boom so that a sequel will come. But you have to wonder, why didn’t it do so well in the box office? Well, Director Dean Israelite told ScreenRant that it may have to do with the films PG-13 rating: “…there’s been market studies on it, and the findings have been that if the movie were rated PG — I don’t want to go into the specific numbers — but if the movie had

Let me set the record straight before I get into this. I was a fan of Power Rangers since the beginning. I faithfully watched every season, every episode for years until life started getting in the way. I only finally stopped when I felt it was getting too campy for its own good, which was Mega Force technically, but I stuck around so I would watch the Mega War episode. Anyway, when I heard there was going to be a Power Rangers movie that “retold” the story of the original five I was very skeptical. We’ve all seen the remakes that Hollywood has made, and you’re very right to be afraid of some of the adaptations. That being said…. You shouldn’t be afraid of Power Rangers, because it’s pretty darn good. Now to be fair, it’s not epic, nor will it be a film for those who have very specific things they want to see in the film. But for those who have appreciate what Power Rangers truly is, and
