They struck gold with the originals. All of them were great and something children should aspire to. Jason was Jason, and Tommy was Tommy. Basically, they were playing themselves which made it genuine. The only one "acting" was Billy.
A Jew being cheap how rare lol. Jewish producers have all treated their actors as slaves. And the minute U call them out it's Antisemetic hence why it carried on.
Cheap? No. Greedy? Absolutely. Power rangers made MORE than enough money to pay the actors twice what they should have been paid, but some CEO or whoever decided his Lambo collection is more important.
Saban (Mr Krabs voice) am I really going to take advantage of these poor yet talented young actors and actresses? Also Saban (Mr Krabs voice) Of Course I am!
@@capena82 Yup, she was the first Asian actress I watched on tv as a child. Growing up Asian I never saw any Asian in a leading role. Thuy was my first. 😊
The low pay and non-existent residuals is why I was more than happy to pay an appearance fee to have my daughter's favorite Power Ranger come to her school for career day. That, and the recent writers strike was right around the corner.
Low pay was what was going to launch their career. I think they were stupid to demand more. They should have just rode it for a few more years then jumped on other opportunities.
Haim Saban said that was not his business to pay them today he’s worth 3.1 billion because of them. He said “ I had nothing to do with that. The least they could have done was pay them each 2 million for the movie. Or at least 10k per episode.
Asj pled guilty to committing wire fraud and stealing taxpayer dollars from the PPP. As part of his plea deal he agreed to snitch on a co-conspirator. He’s awaiting his hearing on his sentencing. He is allowed to make income by attending conventions until then.
At first i thought this was just another cut and paste "where are they now" type video. After watching this i can tell a lot of love went into this. I actually learned a couple things!
@@Krendall2 JDF was the only one in the cast who genuinely dedicated his life to martial arts. In addition to being undefeated in MMA, his Rising Sun Karate School dojos are still going strong today in his home state (Texas). Jason David Frank was a fucking beast.
David Yost has suffered some serious shit. Even tho I'm sure he's still struggling with all that he's suffered thru I'm glad he's better. No one should go thru all that crap.
@twoboysmom7423 Everyone loves to look at the 90s with rose tinted glasses. But I lived through them. It was not as great as Gen Alpha like to imagine.
I remember hearing about how little they were paid and found it horrendous. I can only imagine the hours they were worked 14-18hr days. The amount of stunt work was unreal. Stunt actors get paid thousands of dollars a day for the risk they put themselves in.
As an adult, I’ve learned that like half the stuff I watched as a kid in the 80s and 90s, that made me happy, had some morbid, dark history with long term trauma on the actors and other people involved 😩
I think David's bullying even extended to a video game. In Sega Genesis Power Rangers fighting game, Billy is given a sort of girly win pose. I thought it was kinda weird back then, but with his story coming out, it makes sense in a pretty sad way.
I think I know what game your talking about, and I never noticed anything like that. In the show the rangers always did posing, and the two games that I played if I remember correctly.

It did. Johnny and Jason Narvy (Skull) did an action film with the Rangers stunt team. The camera couldn't pick up the audio, so they had to dub over the static. The producer heard his voice and basically elected him as Vash in Trigun. So yeah, that wouldn't have happened if Johnny didn't meet Koichi Sakamoto.

I think the yellow ranger was the first time I felt attraction towards a woman and I was like 6. She was so cute. And poor David, that really sucks but I'm glad he made it out and found peace later on and got his confidence back. Ugh treat your actors and castmates well, yo
Actually JDF was originally gunna star in a show called Cybertron, while Brad Hawkins was supposed to be the white ranger. But after numerous fan mail asked for Tommy to come back, their roles were reversed & Cybertron was renamed VR troopers
I hate to speak ill of the dead but here's the truth. My mother worked on the show for 10 years, from Season 2 on to the final season that was filmed in Santa Clarita until the production moved to New Zealand. My brothers and I grew up on the MMPR set. In those days, Jason David Frank was a bully. He was not a nice guy. Many ofthe other rangers were incredibly kind. Especially David Yost. Yes. David Yost was bullied on set. He was bullied by Jason David Frank and Steve Cardenas, who was also terrible on that set to the other cast members. I'm not going to get into detail, but there were so many terrible things that happened on that set that were never made public. Things that would really ruin the show for some people. I'm sorry but you guys don't know the half of it, and I don't feel right saying much more.
Yeah, young JDF comes across as being really arrogant and obnoxious to me so what you said is no surprise. Tommy is still my all time favorite ranger though!
Having worked in LA on and off in the TV and film industry for 20 years, I can safely say that the non-union shows and contracts are practically criminal. The bare minimum for lead performers in a 30 minute program is 6-7k per week, and most union shows' performers are making well above that, especially if your show is a hit. Power Rangers had one of the worst reputations for exploitation, churning through cast members because frankly, they could. It's pretty tragic; they should have been rolling in residuals and had a tidy slice of profit sharing or buyouts from the merch and using their likeness, but nope... not as a non-union production. Saban made SO much money off all this!
Big shout out to my parents, aunts and uncles for letting us have Power Rangers on the screen at all. It's pretty obnoxious as an adult but I can see why the 6 year old in me loved it. The giant monster battles and almost all the Power Ranger fight scenes take place on playgrounds! That's where I would go with my cousins and friends and reenact everything. That was a very nice touch. Back when I had no worries in life besides getting out of school and watching Power Rangers and X-Men. I miss you, early 90s.
@@teruienages962 I could see watching a single episode just to remember but I would be absent from the room playing a full season. I'll be in my room watching The Big Labowski or Rounders.
Dame I never thought they were being paid so low, and for the success of the show that is not right, I remember watching power rangers growing up and later I notice a lot things were off and this kinda explains a lot.
WOW. As a kid watching the show in the early 90's . . I had often wondered why Ritas mouth always moved more differently than her words spoken at the time . . Now I know . . Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Austin St. John may have made a big mistake with the government funds, but I still admire him. We all make mistakes, and we can learn from them. He's still been really good to the fanbase, and I'm sure he's done a lot of tremendous work as a paramedic.
In his plea deal he had to acknowledge that he was aware of what he was doing and did it knowingly with a group of co-conspirators who filled out fake business applications. He has agreed to snitch on one of them as part of the deal. He’s awaiting his hearing for his sentencing.
The company you keep, you most likely become them. That's what I feel happened to him. If he hasn't already, he should separate himself from those yes men.
The red ranger was always my favourite and a huge crush of mine during my teens. I think hes aged amazingly and suits his chunkier frame now a days and i still think hes attracive. Adored the Pink ranger, but i always wanted to be the yellow ranger! RIP Yellow ranger Thuy Trang & Green/White ranger Jason David Frank.
Very Interesting! I'd love to see a follow up video on the other red, yellow, black, and pink rangers from the original show. As well as Bulk and Skull!
I knew Thuy Trang was dead, but I didn't realize how long ago that happened, nor how young she was. Damn. I rewatched the first two seasons of the show last year (couldn't do the third season, this show's way worse than I remember), and Thuy / Trini seemed a lot cooler than I remembered. Guess I didn't notice when I was younger. Favorite to least (personally): Tommy > Billy > Trini > Zack > Kimberly >> Jason
It’s crazy how these kids can make these grown ass adults billions but can’t even provide any type of support system when it’s obvious they’re about to spiral
Yeah, after the first season I never watched any power ranger TV show, I did not know at the time why my favorite power rangers where replaced and never wanted to watch it again.
I remember as a kid thinking how cool it must have been to be doing this show. Nope, no it wasn’t. The fact that David tried a conversion camp lets you know how terrible that must have been. Oh the bittersweet nostalgia of the 90s. God can’t believe it’s been so long, such a different time. I look back and yeah it was a different time.
So tragic about JDF. Legit tough guy and even he had problems. Resembles a lot of mens struggles that aren't fashionable to talk about, Chris Mackney comes to mind also. R.I.P JDF.
Fuck the crew members who bullied David Yost! David Yost and Kevin Conroy are living proof that a gay man who is an actor can play a superhero. R.I.P. Kevin
It absolutely was a coincidence. Walter said he specifically wanted to be the black ranger, white people make up 80% of American people so I have no idea what you're going on about there (plus he's actually native American so his stereotype color would have been red), and that only leaves one that actually has doubt on it. 1 out of 5 is very much permissible coincidental territory. Think before you comment.
If you think about it, it's such a crazy business plan and insane that it was so successful: hey lets buy the rights to some random Japanese action TV show, dub over all the fight scenes, and mix in some really low budget scenes shot with a bunch of teenagers, writing our script around whatever footage we just happen to have. Absolutely wild.
I haven't seen MMPR since the 90s. I stopped watching them once I found online episodes of Kyoryu Zyuranger! It was so much better in every way over MMPR. But I still feel for the actors and actress of MMPR. They should have been paid more because they were the stars of the show. Im glad a bunch of them made a stand against corporate greed and left. Today, I don't even recommend MMPR to anyone anymore.
Surprised they didn’t mention Austin’s comments about H*tler on a podcast earlier this year “H*tler was a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one liners.”
Wow so I went looking for that 2023 movie that I didn't know existed, and there are whole new Power Rangers shows I didn't know existed! Got so much to watch now, I am a serious adult I swear!
I swear Walter doesn't age. He looks the same as he did when he was 23 My heart broke for David. He went through a ridiculous amount of crap, I'm glad we live in a time now where he can be open about who he is, cause there is nothing wrong with him I wish David stood in solidarity with Walter, Thay & Austin (tho Austin being a raging homophobe would of made it difficult for him)
I've been an actor for over 15 years and a member of SAG-AFTRA, and I will say this from experience. Getting a role in a show/movie is not as easy as some think out there. And even after you work a leading role in a show/movie it does not guarantee you anything after. Hollywood as they call it, is not for anyone with thin skin and it is actually getting worse since Covid struck. Less and less projects are being produced nowadays since our last Strike last year, and the one presently today with the video game industry - voice acting. Thankfully we have made the industry far more better than it was in the 90's and things like that happened with this show do not happen anymore, and if they did that is why we just need to make a call to the office and they take care of it fast! On a side note, it's funny I used to be mistaken for "Tommy" by the children which was pretty cool.

So, basically, Hollywood blacklisted them for having the Audacity to ask for a lil bit extra change from the huge vault.
Nothing new under the sun.
This wasn't Hollywood.
JDF WAS THE BEST RANGER EVER
WOW. As a kid watching the show in the early 90's . . I had often wondered why Ritas mouth always moved more differently than her words spoken at the time . . Now I know . . Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Watch the old Godzilla movies from the 1960s and 1970s.The terrible voice over acting.😁
I also liked Zach over Adam. Zach was a better fighter over Adam
Zach was a great character, but Johnny Yong Bosh ended up going on to be a VA for some iconic anime characters
Austin St. John may have made a big mistake with the government funds, but I still admire him. We all make mistakes, and we can learn from them. He's still been really good to the fanbase, and I'm sure he's done a lot of tremendous work as a paramedic.
In his plea deal he had to acknowledge that he was aware of what he was doing and did it knowingly with a group of co-conspirators who filled out fake business applications. He has agreed to snitch on one of them as part of the deal. He’s awaiting his hearing for his sentencing.
The company you keep, you most likely become them. That's what I feel happened to him. If he hasn't already, he should separate himself from those yes men.
The green ranger was always my favourite 💚
I can never unhear Rita Repulsa having the same voice actress as Laharl from Disgaea
I remember when everyone at school found out Zach didn’t have a middle finger, nobody could unsee it. Kids are cruel. 😂
I will always be a Jason/Red Ranger guy.!!!
@5:03 he never enlisted. He was a civilian contracted by the military
The red ranger was always my favourite and a huge crush of mine during my teens.
I think hes aged amazingly and suits his chunkier frame now a days and i still think hes attracive.
Adored the Pink ranger, but i always wanted to be the yellow ranger!
RIP Yellow ranger Thuy Trang & Green/White ranger Jason David Frank.
Very Interesting! I'd love to see a follow up video on the other red, yellow, black, and pink rangers from the original show. As well as Bulk and Skull!
I knew Thuy Trang was dead, but I didn't realize how long ago that happened, nor how young she was. Damn. I rewatched the first two seasons of the show last year (couldn't do the third season, this show's way worse than I remember), and Thuy / Trini seemed a lot cooler than I remembered. Guess I didn't notice when I was younger.
Favorite to least (personally):
Tommy > Billy > Trini > Zack > Kimberly >> Jason
It’s crazy how these kids can make these grown ass adults billions but can’t even provide any type of support system when it’s obvious they’re about to spiral
The red ranger actor dude looked nothing like the gay spicy star...
This was my first favorite must watch show as a kid.
Fun fact: Amy Jo Johnson opened at Woodstock 1999.
She is a very beautiful woman with many talents.
I love that you’re covering more topics!
🙏
Yeah, after the first season I never watched any power ranger TV show, I did not know at the time why my favorite power rangers where replaced and never wanted to watch it again.
I remember as a kid thinking how cool it must have been to be doing this show. Nope, no it wasn’t. The fact that David tried a conversion camp lets you know how terrible that must have been. Oh the bittersweet nostalgia of the 90s. God can’t believe it’s been so long, such a different time. I look back and yeah it was a different time.
Saddest part of Thuy Trang’s tragic death 😢😢
*It happened in the SAME week as 9/11/2001 !!!*
😮
The Green Ranger was always my favorite. The White Ranger was ok, but I always loved the Green Ranger, especially his outfit and the Dragonzord.
I feel the same
Same here
Not all gay men have the "gay voice" and to say that mocking that voice is homophobic is participating in stereotypes.
No ones scared of gays. Eddie Murphy standup couldn’t exist today and that’s societies loss. It’s human to rip on each other.
Really interesting video! A great watch 😊
Thank you 😊
So tragic about JDF. Legit tough guy and even he had problems. Resembles a lot of mens struggles that aren't fashionable to talk about, Chris Mackney comes to mind also. R.I.P JDF.
Fuck the crew members who bullied David Yost! David Yost and Kevin Conroy are living proof that a gay man who is an actor can play a superhero. R.I.P. Kevin
Kevin Conroy -Batman voice 😟
Making the Black Ranger black, the White Ranger white and the Yellow Ranger Asian could not have been on accident.
I think you're right. 🤔
It absolutely was a coincidence.
Walter said he specifically wanted to be the black ranger, white people make up 80% of American people so I have no idea what you're going on about there (plus he's actually native American so his stereotype color would have been red), and that only leaves one that actually has doubt on it. 1 out of 5 is very much permissible coincidental territory. Think before you comment.
If you think about it, it's such a crazy business plan and insane that it was so successful: hey lets buy the rights to some random Japanese action TV show, dub over all the fight scenes, and mix in some really low budget scenes shot with a bunch of teenagers, writing our script around whatever footage we just happen to have. Absolutely wild.
I haven't seen MMPR since the 90s. I stopped watching them once I found online episodes of Kyoryu Zyuranger! It was so much better in every way over MMPR.
But I still feel for the actors and actress of MMPR. They should have been paid more because they were the stars of the show. Im glad a bunch of them made a stand against corporate greed and left. Today, I don't even recommend MMPR to anyone anymore.
Surprised they didn’t mention Austin’s comments about H*tler on a podcast earlier this year “H*tler was a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one liners.”
Walter Jones was also the main character in the 90s Nickelodeon sci-fi TV series Space Cases which ran for two seasons.
I heard of that but never seen the show.
DO I REMEMBER THAT?! I feel a weird deja vu.
It was 600 dollars a week. They did multiple episodes each week ive heard
Should've been 6000
60,000 per episode
"Noone liked working with him"
•get him back for three more seasons•
Walter beyond wholesome. Love it
Why am I zero years old learning Rita Repulsa was actually Queen Bandora? Now I have to watch the original with SUBBED captions.
I LOVED me some Kimberly the Pink Ranger. 😮
I thank you forgot one of the most important things for David Yost You forgot he was also in power rangers cosmic fury as a regular
Wow so I went looking for that 2023 movie that I didn't know existed, and there are whole new Power Rangers shows I didn't know existed! Got so much to watch now, I am a serious adult I swear!
I deeply miss Trina & Tommy
I swear Walter doesn't age. He looks the same as he did when he was 23
My heart broke for David. He went through a ridiculous amount of crap, I'm glad we live in a time now where he can be open about who he is, cause there is nothing wrong with him
I wish David stood in solidarity with Walter, Thay & Austin (tho Austin being a raging homophobe would of made it difficult for him)
Audri Dubois was originally set to be The Yellow Ranger
She was fired in January 1993 after asking for better salary.
It's all about greed the producers
I've been an actor for over 15 years and a member of SAG-AFTRA, and I will say this from experience. Getting a role in a show/movie is not as easy as some think out there. And even after you work a leading role in a show/movie it does not guarantee you anything after. Hollywood as they call it, is not for anyone with thin skin and it is actually getting worse since Covid struck. Less and less projects are being produced nowadays since our last Strike last year, and the one presently today with the video game industry - voice acting. Thankfully we have made the industry far more better than it was in the 90's and things like that happened with this show do not happen anymore, and if they did that is why we just need to make a call to the office and they take care of it fast! On a side note, it's funny I used to be mistaken for "Tommy" by the children which was pretty cool.
They all had the look and charisma to be stars in various shows and movies. How does media waste such potential?
