Top 10 Black, White & Gold Power Rangers!
number 1 i noted in the pilot episode the organel skull was not there but a different one was
I was already aware that Rita Repulsa, Alpha 5 and Miya were replaced by other actors. But as for everyone else, I didn't.
I have been aware of Alpha's change, but are going to mention Goldar's voice change in the first season. He seemed different during the first few episodes of Mighty Morphins.
@@isaaccollins4533 Oh man, I totally forgot about Goldar. Not only did his voice change, but also his appearance changed too when Lord Zedd arrived.
Okay be honest
When Rita returned in Mystic Force and even got to say she was getting a headache, who else cheered?
Hell yeah I had such a grin on my face
All I can say about her dubbing voice it was that awful.
@@marylynch948 Linkara even pointed out in his "History of Power Rangers" series that they had no reason not to use Barbara Goodson for the voiceover, especially since she wouldn't have needed to travel to New Zealand. He went on to rant "You could literally do it over the phone!"
Because Rita/Witch Bandora became good after Zyuranger and became Mystic Mother.
@XTheVideoGamerGirlX technically it was same actress playing different characters which just made it convenient for PR
Man Divatox in Turbo was what dreams were made of. As a kid watching this movie over and over again, I was in love
I had a friend in high school who said Divatox looked like a porn star... I was like hell yeah! A decade later he came out as gay.
The original Alpha models were designed to help Zordon defend planets. Alpha one was exceedingly unstable though and would attack innocent civilians so Zordon had those line of Alphas decommissioned and made Alpha 5 his assistant in the command center. The comics give much more backstory to characters. In fact Zordon created a team of rangers before the current mighty Morphin team. They only had 1 mission to the moon and 3 of the 5 of them died. Only the red Ranger and the Yellow Rangers survived. All the rest died fighting Psycho Green. After that Zordon let the 2 surviving members of the team go back to their normal lives. The Red Ranger who was a young woman kept a souvenir from the mission. Psycho Green’s Dagger. She then started an organization which was basically responsible for the cleanup of all the Ranger’s Battles. The Headquarters of this Organization later became the Space Colony Terra Venture in Lost Galaxy.
Well the alpha 5 design wasn't that great either cause he had that slot in his back were evil Tommy / Green ranger always put a CD and had him reprogrammed temporarily
@@82ndparatrooper Alpha One was a gigantic Beast of a Robot and the CD evil Tommy used only temporarily shut Alpha down. It didn’t really reprogram Alpha. It only happened once and didn’t even last that long.
@@crimsonvoid1595 incorrect I know of at least two times that evil Tommy put a CD in there
@@82ndparatrooper I only counted the time Tommy broke into the Command Center. I don’t know of another time other than that the CD thing happened oh wait there was another time and Billy had to reboot Alpha but Tommy wasn’t responsible for the second virus. I think that was either Babboo or Finster.
@@crimsonvoid1595 there was the original time when he was evil then when 1 of Zedd's monsters cut a strand of the white rangers hair to make another evil green ranger he did it then
I actually spoke to Richard Horvitz about this at a Con a few years ago. We talked about his iconic voice for the role of Alpha 5 and how they tried to get as far away from it as possible when they brought in Alpha 6. He was such an amazing guy. We talked about parent life
Scorpina was recast too. The original actress was apart of the Japanese footage and the recast actually interacted with the Rangers at school.
Saban couldn't get Soga to come to the States to physically be Rita after S1. So, they explained her new appearance via youth potion. Cortez and Banks being Rita is not a re-casting, technically, as those films don't follow the TV series canon (unlike Turbo.)
Carla Perez was a fine replacement for Soga; it's their cheeks. Julia Cortez had a slenderer face, but she blended right in given she had no upgraded appearance in The Movie.
Machiko Soga is still one of the greatest Sentai villainess in all Sentai and Rangers franchise. Hell, she was in Denzi and Sun Vulcan many years prior to the Zordon era.
tbh she is the greatest villainess in tokusatsu in general like Spielban, Gavan, and the magic 5th graders
Rip to the original Yellow ranger. Thuy Trang died in a car accident in 2001.
Rip 😔
RIP to Jason://
She was never a replacement she was the true yellow ranger
Thuy Trang was the original Yellow Ranger though.
@@edgeninja you are correct. She was the original Yellow ranger for the first 2 seasons of the original show. I edited my original comment.
I missed the Turbo movie when it came out, and didn't watch the series until I was in my late 30s, so Hoyt's Divatox was the first I saw of the character, and I absolutely adored her as a villain. Shepard taking the part halfway through the series was a complete surprise for me, and I didn't realize it was the original actress returning to the role. Each of them was amazing in the part, but Hoyt's portrayal is the one I think of first. Viva la Diva!
Power Rangers will always be one of my favorite tv shows. Go Go Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The producers of the American Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series used Zyuranger footage of Soga for the character of Rita Repulsa. After her 2006 passing, the producers of Power Rangers Mystic Force used footage of Soga's final toku role - Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel in Magiranger - as the basis for the "Mystic Mother", but her dubbing voice wasn't the original Rita's voiced by Barbara Goodson, but it was some New Zealand actress who dose an awful impersonate of Rita Repulsa.
Yeah, thirty years ago they gave a bunch of guys the Japanese version and said, "you have a month to turn this into a script we can use in the States" and amazingly, THEY DID.
@@briancorvello3620 Yeah. Some of it works, but some not. I didn't like Power Rangers Samurai, and this was the only time I've lost interest of Power Rangers before I've watched RPM which was by far the best Power Rangers series ever. Making a Japanese-based PR season is a very unique idea. Unfortunately, due to Saban recently buying back the franchise from Disney, the production team had only 6 months to produce this season instead of the usual 2-year production, a problem that would eventually plague its way into the franchise from this season onwards.
@@marylynch948 I might not gain many upvotes here, but... I actually kind of liked Turbo. Most of it, that is.
@@briancorvello3620 I like Turbo as well, but for some reason the fans didn't like this series. I wouldn't think Turbo isn't the worst series, but Samurai, Operation Overdrive and Megaforce/Super Megaforce are the worst series.
Not only did they use Zyuranger actress for Rita but they also used another Zyuranger actress for Scorpina as well. Like Machiko Soga, Ami Kawai (who portray Lami in Zyuranger) also portray Scorpina in MMPR, it wasn't until season 2 when Saban actually used an American actress Sabrina Lu to portray the new Scorpina. Despite using a new actress, the voicework is still dubbed by Wendee Lee.
I’ve actually gotten to know a couple of Power Ranger recastings but at least they came with reasons, Watchmojo just never disappoint up with their Top 10 Power Ranger videos
Divatox was the reason I liked evil women lol.
Yeah I had to make sure my parents didn't walk by while she was on screen 🤣 That was a very skimpy outfit for a kids show.
@@NormanTiner yup the first time I saw her never knew I liked woman that much
You forgot about ZORDON from David Fielding to Robert Manahan
I know, I'm so offended that zordon recast didn't make the list and don't forget Lord Zedd
Fun Fact: Turner did return back in Turbo, as she played Divatox's sister Dimitria
She played both Divatox and Dimitria hence why they put that link in that they were sisters whilst Hillary was off for maternity leave.
Divatox probably unlocked the sexual Awakening in a bunch of young kids
Nothing beats the original cast. ❤️

19. Sometimes having nothing in common brings out the best in friendship (eric and Wes time force)
20. Heroes come in all colors (reflection)(spd)
Rita wasn't Recast. They just only had so much Zyuranger footage to work with so when the US only Lord Zedd was introduced they needed an actress who could be on screen with him. Just look at the episode where Rita and Zedd are turned into good people. The Rita actress was absolutely stunning.
Divatox in the Turbo movie tho 😳😍, as a kid I was crushing
Used to love the Power Rangers as a kid.
me too and i still do
Me too as well
god the original divatox was a bomb shell. jesus.
I really thought the video said "were racist" lol
Lol same here
Omg me too!!!
Well, the Quantum ranger would be on that list.
Same
Glad I'm not the only one
The hardest part in making an entertainment industry is letting go of that individual(s) cast and hiring a new one(s) for that project. You know such as projects with A-List filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola directing Apocalypse Now replacing Harvey Keitl and Robert Zemeicks directing Back to the Future replacing Eric.
Mariska Hargitay?! REALLY?! 😳
I didn't know the VA for Invader Zim and Moxxie voiced Alpha 5 until now; and now I can't unhear it.
I didn’t notice the recast of Izzy the green sabre fury ranger as much as the voice of lord Zedd changing.
You forgot about all the times Lord Zedd was recast.
Also Zordon too, David Fielding and Bob Manahan both voice Zordon in the early seasons.
In my personal opinion, Sheri Moon Zombie should've been cast as Rita Repulsa in the 2017 *Power Rangers* movie.
Her performance of Rita would be where she personifies a mixture of Baby Firefly for comedic moments and Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal of Catwoman for the action and scheming.
I thought they would talk about Zordon in this but apparently not!
Rip Trini the best yellow ranger
rip 😔
Very funny, fittting and very sad that the original Yellow Ranger was gonna be number one. Aubrey was asking for more money which led to her leaving the show and ended up getting Tuey Trang to play Trini, and sadly later in season 2, the actors who play Jason, Trini and Zack left the show in the same issue as well, asking for higher pay.
Right. It’s very strange to think that for a while, most assumed Audri was in the wrong to ask for more, but turns out Thuy, Austin, Walter and presumably others saw what she saw in terms of better pay, better protection from stunts, etc. It’s unfortunate to think she ended up being the one to take the fall because the production had yet to take off.
Of course Dubois was justified in asking for more but maybe the rest of the cast just didn't know the show would be the phenomenon it was and were just trying to keep a job. Subsequently asking for more was a necessity as they basically were still making shit and had no job security while Saban was making raking in millions.
Also, Thuy ended up killed in a car accident in 2001
@@alexc.g8525 If I'm not mistaken she died in 2001
@@ricardoquintero7160 yeah, you right. I'm a mid 00's kid
R.I.P Machico Soga And Thuy Trang!.
And R.I.P. Jason David Frank.
How the heck didn't this mention Zordon? Lol
I heard Brad Hawkins (of VR Troopers) was suppose to be the original White Ranger in MMPR but due to Tommy's popularity Saban decided to bring Jason David Frank back and gave the role to him instead.
This is correct. Jason David Frank had originally left Power Rangers as they obviously ran out of Green Ranger footage from Zyuranger as in Zyuranger, Burai aka DragonRanger dies and passes his powers of the dragon shield and zyusouken to his younger brother Geki.
Jason David Frank would then be cast in Saban's new project - Cybertron which would be a proper adaptation of Choujinki Metalder where Jason would play "Adam Steele" and actually shot an actual pilot episode where Steele would become "Cybertron" but it was never to be, as fans kept asking "Where is Tommy? Where is the green ranger?!" and Saban had no choice from the complete popularity of Tommy Oliver, that they had to scrap introducing power rangers fans to the White ranger and bring back Tommy for a few more episodes as Green Ranger, then transfer him over to being the White Ranger with Brad Hawkins going over to the now rebooted Cybertron called "VR Troopers" as his character being called "Ryan Steele" (a obvious nod to JDFs character Adam Steele in the pilot of Cybertron) wearing the same suit from Metalder but also wearing a second suit which was Space Sheriff Shaider.
However, despite all of this, Brad actually did voice the Gold Zeo Ranger.
@@GenGamesUniverse And if i remember it well, Saban got nearly sued by Hasbro because of the use of the name 'Cybertron'.
There was a small scene in season 2 of MMPR were Jason, Zack and Trini were leaving, where Trini was played by someone else you only saw the back of her head but the voice wasn’t hers
All three of them were played by stand-in actors and terrible imitations of their voices for several episodes leading up to the characters' departure because the actors were already gone.
All the rangers in seasons 2 and 3 were recast at some point cause they got turn into children either by Lord Zedd or Master Vile so it was the children that play their role in kid form until they revert back to their teenage self. Even Goldar was recast, in the first part of season 1 Goldar's Zyuranger costume was used but in the later episodes after Doomsday and the return of the green ranger, they use a different much older Goldar which eventually became standard in the next 2 seasons.
I never watched the Turbo movie until later, so I liked Hoyt's dominatrix 'tox better than Shephard Turner's Diva.
Ohhh, 9:52 is one of the best envelope-pushing campy scenes in the franchise.
Never knew about these recasts at all.
I should've known this; been a fan since Dino Thunder.
Barbara Goodson will always be my favourite Rita
It's very great that our favourites Tory, Lily and Kyra weren't replaced.
Top 10 Black, White & Gold Power Rangers!
Three of them are gonna be Tommy…
Power Rangers The TV Show That Can't Die like Simpsons Spongebob and Robot Chicken damn !!!
I didn't notice Divatox had a different actress for a while
This is news to me
I remember that though the original Divatox (Hillary Sheppard) she was from the movie but after the movie she was pregnant so they had Carol Hoyt play the character
@@remingtonbouyer But which of those two played also the role of Dimitria?
@@pessie83 I believe Hillary Sheppard when she returned from.her maturity leave ij 97 if I remember correctly since Carol was doing a great job as Divatox I think Hillary played Dimitra its rumored that Divatox and Dimitra are twin sistes
@@pessie83 twin sisters
i love power ranger content
My crushes over the years
Kimberley
Dulsea
Divatox
R.I.P. Thuy Trang
I couldn't believe Zim voiced alpha. I can hear Zim now.
Goes to show how a child’s brain works. At 5 years old I _knew_ something was different from the American rangers and the original Japanese fight scenes…but I genuinely thought that was Rita’s real voice for YEARS
Never new about Rita recasting and divatox . mind-blowing
The first Devatox was so freaken hot!
I had no idea this franchise was so big
1993 to present.
Would've been surreal to see Olivia Benson in Power Rangers.
There’s several pictures of Mariska in Power Rangers posted online.
Top 10 Moments from Super Sentai that would not make it in Power Rangers, such as smoking and drinking, bloody beatings, sexual Themes etc
Each of the classics are timeless treasure
nice video
We miss ya Tommy 💚🤍
Poor trug she did not deserve to die show young and as painful and graphically as she did. Very sad. I can’t believe actor pay issue was still going on during lost galaxy that’s disgusting.
Of all the villains to give one of the greatest victories over the Power Rangers to....they gave it to Divatox.
Some ordinary lady that was simply dressed in spandex.
Let that sink in.
Maybe this is just me, but I didn’t like how Alpha 6 talked like a rap star.
Maybe this is just everyone on Earth.
@@Dan_- sorry.
Having an openly gay character isn't considered "groundbreaking", and keep in mind, they did this but not adapting guardian angels/pirates for their 20th anniversary and medieval knights, really showed that MMPR Productions were a bunch of wussies.
Dino fury and megaforce where made by different companies megaforce was under saban and Dino fury Hasbro so that comment makes no sense
Diversity in Power Rangers is both a trope and a disease
What about Zordon? He was recast as well!
It’s funny how the Ninja Power Rangers were based on the Sentai Kakuranger series but the character of Dulcea made the movie seem unique
Didn't Zordon himself change voices? David Fielding to Bob Manahan?
good video
I actually liked Hoyt better as Divatox at the time that when Shephard returned as Divatox ..I quickly saw and said “ Hey that’s the Divatox from the movie “ 😂
Before watching this video, I can already tell what number one is gonna be. I’m gonna see if I’m right 😂 🖤💛
Omg I had know idea that mariska was in a power rangers film
#3 You mean we ALMOST didn't have the hottest female power ranger ever? Thank goodness Cerina filled in
oh yeah!!!!
Simms has a nice shape, too. Never knew the monster they show in 9:52 was referring to the casting change (LOL!).
Ooh interesting, didn't know about the Trakeena one
so cool man
I LOVE It the first Rita and Divatox
Didn’t even realize the Rita switch until and now also realize that I seen the difference in the faces at the time, but obviously my young my mind just accepted it.
Alpha 6 got a new voice due to his “voice module” being destroyed. Along with a new voice came a completely different personality, too. I always found that odd.
The Alpha 6 street talking wasn't new,in one ep of mighty morphin were the rangers were at the command center n he entered the room with Zach and spoke with street slang n Zach had mentioned he n Alpha had watched some hood movies.
@@cornbreadmilton5265 true. But, Zach was only around for Alpha 5, not Alpha 6. That's funny, though. Lol
R.I.P Thuy Trang
God I forgot how awful the Alpha 6 voice was. It was like somebody who had never been to NY tried to guess on a Brooklyn accent
I met Hillary Shepard she is wonderful.
I didn’t know about most of these
What about Zordon? He was recast a few times.
CHANTZ AND ALEXANDRA WERE A SURPRISE!
You forgot about Natasha Allas as Princess Shayla and Chille DeCastro as Danny
Hilary Shepard in Power Rangers Turbo movie (Divatox) left because she was pregnant but she came for the series later Steve Cardenas left the series in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie due to wanting to open his own martial arts dojo. that what the internet told me The cast of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy had been promised a reunion movie however Danny Lavin(Leo) walked off the set after they finished the first unit Amy Miller(Trakeena) did show up for lightspeed series however learning a little girl on the show would get more screen time with the Galaxy cast also walked off before they could film anything with her which makes no sense to me
Was that JDF in a different role before he was Tommy (Green Ranger) at 12:18?
the first divatox in the movie was great
5:59 - 6:41 THAT WAS TRULY SURPRISING
what about Valerie Vernon got replaced by Melody Perkins Watch mojo? That was a surprising replacement
Even though NS wasn't a good season like all of Neo Saban Era except for Dino Charge, Nico did a good job as the 4th Male Yellow Ranger and like most PR Actors he found more success in Hollywood and I heard that the reason why they replace the original actress for Izzy was because she's a playboy model, no seriously
Divatox was perfect in the Turbo movie glad the actress returned, because I never knew that. I can't ever get through Turbo lol.
It wasn't just salary dispute the lost galaxy cast was a promised a movie instead they got a team up and in said team up they barley had any screen time witch also pissed Danny slavin so much that he almost never returned for forever red
Oh wow I didn't know that as wealthy as Saban is he sure was kinds cheap back then
@@remingtonbouyer he treated a lot of them like shit the original mmpr grossed over a billion dollars and the cast was paid below minimum wage
The difference in Yellow ninja steel ranger I didn’t recall until I saw this. But I 100% remember that Power Morphicon announcement. And I would have loved to see the other Green Dino Fury ranger, but still like who we got. Last, Rose McIver IS fantastic, you’re 100% right there.
Apparently the reason why they cast changed the Yellow Ninja Steel ranger was because the one that was originally cast, had issues getting a visa to travel to New Zealand.
Honestly I still don’t see the difference between the two Divatox actresses. The substitute was perfect.
The second Divatox's mask didn't fit right. That's the difference.
And her hmmhmm's weren't as nice, but
Oh how I miss the 90s
Divatox wow didn't know that
Sandra McCoy was supposed to be Alyssa Enrilé and Natasha Allas was cast as princess Shayla but both were recast by Ann Marie crouch n Jessica rey
So we're meant to forget that one SPD episode where JDF didn't play Tommy/Black Dino Ranger?
In the SPD crossover it was Jason David Frank in the suit but the voicework was dubbed by someone else.
@@VOAN It wasn't JDF in the suit, JDF was actually away at the time, so they had to use the suit actor instead.
Hey Mojo, we need a video list of top 10 or 20 Tommy moments (or Jason David Frank in general). I think it will help us manage our grief
Hillary shepherd Turner as divatox beautiful villain in Power rangers history
Zordon: the Sabertooth Tiger DINOzord will be yours to comand
Me: since when has a Sabertooth tiger categorised as a DINO?
I knew about the Izzy recast because before Dino Fury came out the cast got leaked and the leaks were true except for Alexandra and I don't think Tessa Rao was leaked. Hillary left the first half of Turbo to have time with her newborn baby because she was pregnant while filming the movie. I think Valerie from Lost Galaxy should've been an Honorable Mention because she left for the hospital for the second half of Lost Galaxy and Melody Perkins took her place until she could come back.
Kendrix wasn’t recast, the character was killed off. Recasting is the same character with a different actor in the role. That’s what this video is covering
I was at Morphicon when Simpson was announced as the yellow ranger.
