Welcome to MMPR S2, where the monsters do nothing except taunt from far away, run towards the camera, and only get physical during the zord battles because we just don't have the footage. Just keep fighting those putties.
Season 2 was a bastard child of sorts. Initially the spawn of Saban and Toei in making Zyuranger episode footage exclusively for an American audience, it was conceived that the Thunder Megazord we know and love today would have been a revamp of the Zyu1 megazord, called the Zyu2 Megazord by fans.
Then when the budget was too much to diverge it entirely from Japanese stock footage, Saban conceded to footage filmed wit Zyu-styled monsters and rangers
Since Saban was enamored by the footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, primarily the mechs and Kiba Ranger, but didn't want to change all the suits or isolate the audience let alone throwing away footage already fillmed, he decided to edit out as much Kidenjuu/Dairenoh footage from Dairanger spliced with the Zyu2 footage to sell more toys and as a convenient power-up plot device. The shoddy editing as seen here and in various parts of megazord battle footage was highly inconsistent in
quality alongside both production teams from Japan and America not being in exact sync with each other with bad choreography/ editing on the American's part . But the latter could not be helped as it was the case with many of the Saban era seasons with some grain. However in this case ,they intentionally brought it upon themselves in the last two seasons of MMPR since it was already filmed and instead decided to use the grainier footage from Dairanger and not in any way try to make
it look like it was a part of the same series. This made it being Japanese glaringly obvious to many people until it was said in the TV Guide magazine it was taken from Japan, especially to those who watched Godzilla and lived in Hawaii raised on toku.
While a cool story , the footage editing leaves alot to be desired, almsot like Masked Rider but better. Today is much better with the same on locations as well as the HD revolution and digital editing/enhancement made it good2 sync
Yes, it is. Japanese TV shows like Toku aired there and still do not only due to the high Asian populations there,but for the location in between America and Japan that made it a key point in both WWII and in today's markets domestically and foreign.
In fact, JN Productions subbed Battle Fever J , Kikaider and V3 for audiences , the latter filmed some time in Hawaii . I do not know for certain the effects were,
but Kikaider and V3 are very popular in the state. With how good those two did , the island got its own English dub made in house by Tsuburaya Prod. for UltraSeven, before the TNT dub was made.
Since Japan has a notable inlfuence on this state culturally, Japanese shows and in some cases the channels itself air the programs there and on the West Coast.Whether its subbed or not depends on target audience and location. Without Hawaii or the West Coast's concentration
@BigDogLtd of Japanese Americans and other Asian Americans, tokusatsu and furthermore anime would have taken a longer time to come over here it at all since that state was used as the test audience for pilots of those shows.
Plus Power Rangers might have never came into existence due to their being no initial idea to adapt/dub it from Stan Lee, though Saban worked on many of the dubs in France with Club Dorothee .
Hawaii is an important area when it comes to toku history due to its
location and just how it spread Japanese culture throughout the rest of the states moreso alongside the efforts of Fred Ladd, WEP Prod. Saban and Harmony Gold.
@BigDogLtd So did they actually have any of the DaiRanger or KakuRanger monster costumes for seasons 2 and 3 or were they restricted to Zord footage? Now as an adult I notice mostly Putty fights and Zyu2 creatures. Is that why they finally changed up for ZEO, because it was just getting too damn cost-prohibitive? I've never heard about another Megazord before...
anyone else notice that there are two different pink rangers voices in this? when she says "pink charge" it sounds like Kat and then when she says "couldn't of come at a better time" it was Kimberly
blue red and yellow have been consistant sence zyuranger but if you look at some of teh 15 seasons before zyuranger(where we got MMPR from) there are times where those colors arnt but that is agreeable the reason black didnt get a charge was probabaly due to the green but if you think about it they could of given blue and black charges anyway due to they used the MMPR gloves isntead of ripping it straight from dairanger
