Our journey into FMV Hell gets even more horrifying as The Spoony One confronts the nefarious Rita Repulsa in the Sega CD game Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
Hey!, lay off the green ranger, he was awesome, he was so awesome that he just kinda became the leader overnight one day without ever actually having to challenge the red one for the authority…it just sorta happened gradually as everyone began acknowledging him as the leader for some reason.
…of course he ‘did’ randomly become the uber white-ranger of untouchable asskickingness which, while initially was pretty cool, did end up starting the series down its path of ridiculous idiot-plots and nonsensical ‘weird and new for the sake of weird and new’ crap like the alien rangers or that dude with the laser sword who got his own crappy spinoff for some reason.
Aside from that though, he ‘was’ the reason I loved that show as a kid.
Yes Bruce Campbel, Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, Jet Li, and Triple H would make the best power rangers team ever. I demand Hollywood gets on getting those men together for a show right now.
omg, totally agree with Ryan the Gamer, those would be awesome power rangers, i would watch it even if the rest of it was just as bad as the power rangers that are on nowadays, are they still actually on? i don’t watch tv much anymore so i don’t know,
HAHA! Thinking back… the first generation was pretty good. This game seems a bit like Guitar Hero… except instead of a stupid guitar, its watching power rangers battles. I guess the only thing you may get is to watch battles you enjoyed…
Chuckle at my “nerdiness”. I saw this and, realizing I had -never- seen the first episode, youtubed it. About 10 minutes in I was getting annoyed… AUTOMATONS CAN’T BE SENTIENT! BILLY IS A N00B! Those lines that made you think WTF if you ever watched the show HAD DIRECT CONTRADICTIONS IN THEM! Huzzah oxymorons!
i remember when i still watched power rangers but like spoony said they just change so quickley its hard to fallow the plot and the show had to many random exploshins
I still don’t understand why so many people like Power Rangers so much. The first generation was like 90-95% dubbed over the original japanese version. The adaptated story contradicted itself and made no sense.
The messed up thing about Power Rangers is that, even though I never liked them, watching this still makes me happy and nostalgic. It was back when I hated the same things that everyone else did. Now? Flo Rida? You’ve lost me.
i love the bit with mgs but what i think you should say is this: imangine playing mgs2 and your trying to skip the codec sences only for solid snake to come through the screen point a gun at your chin and saying hey listen you listen to what he saids or your dead.
Having Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Steven Sagal, Triple H, and Bruce Campbell definitely would have made the show a lot more interesting.
You just see Chuck Norris going Rambo on everyone, while Triple H whacks people with a Sledgehammer and Jet Li cuts them to bits with a sword, and ect.
This review is hilarious. I rewatch it everytime for the joke at 7:46 with Rita sippin on Gin and Juice. I swear if I could make that into my avatar I would.

Old school Power Rangers were the shit, man.
wow, this takes me back
They were the only way to go. And that team never would’ve been complete without Bruce Campbell
The original Power Rangers kicked ass! But the newer generations are just sad. I mean “Ninja Force”?

I remember this
I hated it so much
You just mixed my two favorite things from my childhood, Power Rangers and Ocrina of Time. Thats…. freaking…. awesome!!
I stoped watching Power Rangers after the movie came out, Mighty Morphin’ are the only kind of rangers!
Dude, Colonel should TOTALLY come out of the screen and smack you for trying to skip cutscenes in MGS.
Also, is it just me or did you add a subtle little smoke squib effect when Marky-Mark shot you?
I think the green ranger fits into the dino thing because dragon’s are lizardish…and the mastodon and saber tooth are both extinct so…
Aren’t you Marky Mar- *BOOM*
Technically pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs either.

I ROFL’d at the Saria’s Song part! :D
You know, they actually did make a side-scroller Power Rangers game for the NES. It’s KICK-ASS!
LOL that was funny personally i would played song of storms

Who the hell is she, Frieza?
Power rangers has 17 seasons and is just an American version of a japanese show.
No Bulk and Skull?! Thats inexcuseable.

i alwas loved the power rangers season 1-4 they where the best ones they made i have all of them on dvd
i did see all the power rangers series after zeo all up tell rpm i do not like that at all
i really do not care for video games i do not do so well at them
Funny review, but dude, come on. You make a reference to Dead to Rights. Now THAT’S a shitty game you should review.
i love the bit with mgs but what i think you should say is this: imangine playing mgs2 and your trying to skip the codec sences only for solid snake to come through the screen point a gun at your chin and saying hey listen you listen to what he saids or your dead.
alpha ritas escaped bring me triple h, randy orton, rey mysterio, john cena, batista and the undertaker.
you could had used that but im not argueing about it im just saying.
Hey, I kind of liked those timing things in RE4 and Indigo Prophecy. >.<
Ah, hell, I can see why this game would tarnish those anyways.
Having Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Steven Sagal, Triple H, and Bruce Campbell definitely would have made the show a lot more interesting.

Does anybody know what song he used at the end? I know I’ve heard it before!
I need scissors 61…I finally get the Wariro Review Joke..lol
The woman who played Rita Repulsa in the original series, Machiko Soga, died a few years ago after a long battle with cancer, may she rest in peace.
At the end, isn’t that the music from the movie Glory at the part where Matthew Broderick gets shot and dies?
Punishment for skipping cutscenes? Man, I’m glad Hideo Kojima didn’t see that.
Damn, I always hated Power Rangers, even as a kid…

just to point out pterodactyls weren’t dinosaurs ether so only the triceratops and t rex where.
