90's Kids Ready for Another Run?

     If you are a child of the 1990’s, then you remember the original hit series, featuring six teenagers fighting the evil Lord Zedd and Empress Rita to save the world. If you don’t seem to recall, they were referred to as the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Though the show still runs, it has lost the spark that caused so many children to fall in love with the show in the first place. Now it seems to be about “magic” rather than the martial arts that the show had at one point in time.

     The original cast members from 1993 were people who grew up learning about karate; it was people who spent their lives doing just that. The original Green Dragon Ranger Jason David Frank (professional MMA fighter), sees how the show has changed, and is asking Saban, the franchise owner, to consider making a movie of just the Green Dragon Ranger. This movie becoming a reality would capture the hearts of people across the nation, and possibly people across the whole world.

     Children would watch it just like they watch the new episodes, and their 40-year-old parents will potentially watch and feel like a kid again. Because it will appeal to an extremely wide variety of age groups, many people can see such a movie taking America by storm.

     "The Green Ranger is kind of like the Wolverine of Power Rangers," says Jason David Frank. Frank joked about wearing the Green Ranger costume again: "It was interesting; spandex don't lie." Frank also said, “So many people tell me about how they always looked up to the Green Ranger. It’s cool when a big tough guy walks up to you to tell you that.”
