10 thousand years ago, Rita Repulsa was
imprisoned in a space dumpster on the Moon.

She remained there until
two unsuspecting astronauts

opened the dumpster
and changed the world... forever.

Ah!
After 10 thousand years I'm free!

It's time to conquer Earth!

Alpha, Rita's escaped! Recruit
a team of teenagers with attitudes!

For over 300 episodes, courageous
teenagers from Angel Grove

have taken on evil villains, fought
desperate battles, and have turned it

into the most watched kid's show
in TV history: Power Rangers!

Lost Episode

Go, go, Power Rangers



Go, go, Power Rangers

Go, go, Power Rangers

You mighty morphin Power Rangers

Lost Episode

I'm Austin St. John
of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

From studios like this one, came hundreds
of morphinominal Power Ranger adventures.

I tell you what, a lot of them
included my bro: the Zack Man,

Walter Emanuel Jones.

The Power Rangers have battled
Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd...,

the Machine King, Divatox, and lots
of other villains to save the Earth.

And, in the process, become
a history making TV series.

Not bad for a bunch of
"teenagers with attitude"! Huh!

In the next half hour,
we're gonna do a little retro look-back

on the history
of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.



Not to mention... the never-before-seen...
pilot episode.

All brought to you by
the coolest Ranger there ever was!

That's cool. I'm-I'm-I'm touched. I...
I never knew you felt that way, man.

You are touched? I meant me.
He's trippin'.

Nah, see, that's... that's not right.
You got problems.

Hey, man.
Look, don't make me morph.

You're retired!
He don't have a morpher anymore.

Watch out, man, I can get
my morph on. Hey. Hip Hop Kido;

- I'm working out. - I'm a' morph... I'm
a' morph somethin' here in a minute. - Hey.

When the show first started,
almost everybody thought

that it was really... unique!
And, well, they were right!

In fact, in the beginning,
it was a... different kind of show.

The look and feel of the original
Power Ranger superheroes

started in Japan on a popular
program called "Go Rangers".

Like the Power Rangers,
Go Rangers evolved

and eventually became
"Zyu Rangers". Then our producers

took these characters, gave them
an updated look, created new stories,

cast English-speaking actors, and
a different new show idea was born.

They are the Power Rangers!

As soon as Power Rangers took off,
it began to change. I mean...,

there were always new villains, new Zords,
and... even new Rangers.

Oh, and great new episodes, like
the one where I became the Gold Ranger.

Or... my birthday episode. Yeah.

Well, what about the one where
I got to fight Goldar... alone?!

Oh yeah? Well, what about my spider
episodes?! I mean...

- Well, that was good! But, you know [...]
- That was cool! [...]

- Uh... Hey...
- Ah...

Well, it-it wasn't as good
as your movie performance.

But you know what? I loved
you Hip Hop Kido episodes

- with..., you know...,
- Yeah! That was cool!

- thingamajig!
- Alright, check it out.

Why don't we just... move on
to the next segment?

- Uh... Move on.
- Yeah. I know.

Okay. So here it is, for the first time
ever, the entire story

of Power Rangers... in just over
a minute. You ready? "Go".

Rita escapes and starts attacking the Earth,
which makes Zordon pick

five teenagers, that's us...,
to save the Earth.

- Things go pretty well...,
- Power Rangers!

until this new kid shows up
and gives us a lot of problems!

The new kid turns out to be
Tommy, who joins the Rangers

and gets very friendly with Kimberly.
Then Lord Zedd shows up

and the Green Ranger
becomes the White Ranger, and then

- Rita comes back with her headache.
- Why did I marry her anyway?!

And then the Red, Yellow and Black
Rangers change hands.

Then the Power Rangers trade
in dinopower for Ninjapower,

with new Zords and a new Ranger.
But then Master Vile shows up,

turns all the Rangers into little kids,
who have go on a quest

- to find the Zeo Crystal.
- Oh no! This is terrible!

And when they finally find it,
they get to be their own age,

and they get new stuff,
and new Zords, and more new Rangers,

and soon after the Machine King arrives...
and gives everyone a real pain...,

- but gets defeated.
- Way to go, guys!

But not before the Gold Ranger shows up
to help.

Go!

Then Divatox starts up
and soon the Rangers have to get

new stuff and new Turbo Zords
and... oh yeah! A new Ranger!

Then after battling it out with Divatox,
a whole new bunch of Rangers head

to space to battle Astronema,
with new stuff and new Zords.

- That... was im...pressive.
- Finally, the Power Rangers in Space

defeat evil in the solar system...
and set off to discover

- new worlds in the galaxy!
- Only now the newest Power Rangers

have to battle the galactic evil
of Scorpius, but don't worry, they have

brand new stuff
and sparkling new Zords.

- Comin' up:
- A tribute

to the past Power Rangers cast members,
and the never before seen

- original pilot episode!
- It all happens...

- ...when we get back.
- Back here.

- Back here.
- Right here?

- Please!
- Ow!

Through over 300 episodes,
there've been a lot of different actors,

and many... different Power Rangers.

We thought it would be cool
to do a little tribute,

and show you all the faces that have made
Power Rangers the great show it is.

No, we cannot see

Who are we to look to?

And we keep dreamin' of a world
where all that's good

so we were told
we need a hero

And we keep dreamin' of a time
where good is all

that we can find
We need a...

We need a...

hero!

Okay! Now it's time
for what we've all been waiting for:

the very first broadcast
of the never before seen pilot episode...

- of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
- Now, you'll probably notice

a few differences from the series.
The most obvious being the character Trini.

She's played by Audri Dubois
instead of Thuy Trang,

who actually joined the cast...
as we finished the pilot.

Oh, now..., check out Alpha,
because Alpha's got a different look,

as well as Zordon, who's actually
called "Zoltar" in this version.

See if you can spot
some of the other differences

as you watch
this very special pilot episode...

of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Have fun.

- Hey!
- Yeah!

- All right!
- Wow!

- Hey! Zach!
- Zach?!

- Never fear, 'cause the Zach Man is here!
- Hey! What's up, man?! Good to see you!

Wassup? Wassup? Wassup?!
Wassup?! Wassup?! Wassup?!

Hey! What's happenin'[?]?
Wassup? Wassup?!

Hey, cutie?!

And then the sphere will have
an angular decay of 3.1

to the minus 10
with a drag coefficient of .9875.

Oh! So, in other words, if I spin
the ball and I aim for the pocket,

- I'm gonna get a strike?
- Affirmative!

- Yo, Trini! Billy! Wassup?
- Hey, Zach! - Hey, Zach!

Yo Jase!

- Very funny. I had a perfect game goin'!
- Oh, man!

Excuse me?!
I'm trying to bowl a strike over here!

- Hey, it's his fault!
- Say what?! Nah, hey!

- Oh! I broke my nail!
- Hey, man!

Oh!

- Ah! Yo, spazzo!
- C'mon, let's mess 'em up!

Hey! You're gonna pay for this.
Big time.

- Excuse me, may I interrupt?
- Sit down, dork.

Yeah, well, you can make it up to me
tonight, at the movies.

Sorry, but I don't date non-humans.

- Get out of my face, you...!
- What are you lookin' at?

- Lad, back off!
- Hey!

- Leave her alone!
- Cut it out!

- Watch it! - Huh?
- No, I got this.

- You gonna make me, little girl?
- Uh-huh.

- Take 'em out, Zach.
- Yeah, man. Check this.

Yeah! Do it, man!

- So, you gonna dance or ya gonna
- Outstanding!

- fight, sissy?
- I'm gonna fight!

Let go of me, bleach head!

My turn!

Yeah!

Watch the ball!

See ya!

Strike!

Strike 2!

Safe!

Strike 3! You're out!

We interrupt this program
with a special report.

We take you live to the Moon,
where astronauts are about

to uncover what may be
the first alien object ever found.

- Hey, you smell something funny?
- Nah, maybe it's your space suit.

- I think it's coming from there!
- Yeah! Now I smell it! Check it out!

It looks like a big trash dumpster.
Wow! It stinks! Let's open 'er up!

- Hey, what's that?!
- I'm not waiting to find out!

Huh?! Hey, Rita! Wake up!
C'mon, c'mon! We're free!

Ah, morning breath!
Here's a mint!

After 10,000 years,
it's good to be free again!

Let me help you,
oh powerful one!

- Walk with me, talk with me.
- Ooh! Geez,

you made me step in a puddle!
Out of my way, monkey face!

So you want help getting away,
do you?! I think I can arrange that!

To celebrate our freedom, I think
we should pay the Earth a visit.

And then... destroy it!

Great, just what we needed,
an earthquake.

No.
That was no earthquake.

Oh my! Oh my!
What is all the shaking?!

It's the big one! I know it! I know it!
We'll shake apart!

Calm down, Alpha! It's Rita. She's escaped,
and she's attacking the planet.

- How can you be so sure, Zoltar?!
- My sensor array picked up

- her evil vibration.
- We'll be destroyed! I know it!

- Initiate Plan B immediately.
- Ah, what is Plan B?

- Just push the button, Alpha!
- Ooh. But what will that do?!

Teleport to us
the most dangerous group...

- of ruthless, underhanded,
- Yes. Ye-Yes.

- overbearing, self-absorbed
- Yes. Yes!

- and overemotional humans in the area.
- Y... No! Not... teenagers!

- Correct!
- I was afraid of that.

Everybody, chill out!

- What's happening?!
- We seem to be demolecularized!

- W-What's that?!
- Never mind, I don't understand it myself!

- Greetings, dudes and dudettes!
- Wow!

A fully sentient, multifunctional
automaton! Whoa!

- Welcome, humans!
- Whoa!

- So, who is that?
- Like, what is that?

That is Zoltar, an interdimensional being
caught in a time warp.

My name is Alpha Phi [5],
his trusted assistant.

Hmm, yeah, right.
And I'm a ninja turtle!

An inter-temporal, cross-dimensional,
super-being

with outward verbal communication!
How prodigious!

- What'd he say?
- He said this guy's awesome!

Excuse me, will somebody
come back to Earth and pick me up?

- Because I am really confused.
- It's quite simple, my dear!

The planet is under attack, and
I have brought you here to save it.

- Oh... yeah, right!
- Ah. A nonbeliever!

- Look! - Behold!
- A proton projection!

This is Rita Repulsa. An alien
bent on controlling the universe.

And she's decided to begin...
with Earth.

If she's so dangerous,
why don't you fight her?

Because long ago,
she trapped me in a time warp.

I know it's scary, but what
does all of this have to do with us?!

You have been chosen
to form an elite team

to battle Rita.
As teenagers, the future of the planet

is yours. And you are now
called upon to defend that future.

Each of you will be given access
to extraordinary powers..., drawn

from the spirits of the ancient creatures...
you call... dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs?!

Jason..., you shall have the power
of the Tyrannosaurus. Bold and mighty.

Zachary..., the power of the mastodon.
Clever and brave.

Kimberly..., your power comes
from the Pterodactyl. Cunning and quick.

Billy..., you draw from the Triceratops.
Patient and smart.

And Trini..., your power comes
from the Sabertoothed Tiger.

- Fierce and agile.
- Excuse me, uh, Zoltar?

What is the purpose of these...
extraterrestrial energy conductors?

Ah!
Those are your transmorphers.

When in danger, insert the power
coin, raise it to the sky, and call

the name of your dinosaur. A universe
of power will be at your command.

Together, the five of you will form
an awesome fighting force,

know to one and all...
as the Power Rangers!

Yo, let me get this straight!
So, you zapped us here

- so... we could save the world?
- By becoming giant slimy lizards?

And battling a malevolent sorceress
named Rita?

- Who destroys cities?
- While riding a flying bike?!

Yes!

No! No way; I'm outta here.
Uh, it's been real, but...

- I gotta go. Ya'll comin'?
- See ya!

- Wouldn't wanna be ya.
- Please! Please!

Uh... Halt! Dudes?! Uh, du... Oh.

- That didn't go very well, did it?
- Don't worry, Alpha. They'll come around.

I mean, think about it.
I'm saying we can do this.

C'mon.

Don't you guys think [...]

We can do this!

- Why dont't you think [...]?
- Come on!

Come on, won't you listen to me?!
I think we can do this!

What is the problem here?! I mean,
think about it. I'm saying we [...]

- Great, we're out in the middle of nowhere!
- Yeah!

We shouldn't have left. I mean,
he chose us to save the world!

- I say we do it!
- Do you really think we could?!

- Yeah!
- Are you two crazy?!

- Do you hear what you're sayin'?
- What?! It can't be!

Teenagers?!
Zoltar must be behind this.

Gamma rays and burning gold,
let them fight my putty patrol!

Take that!

- Great!
- Everybody stay together!

- Zach, those two.
- Right; these two are mine!

- Uh-oh.
- This is gonna hurt!

- This day is too weird.
- Whoa!

- Well, it looks like we got 'em!
- Yeah, right where they want us!

What're we gonna do now?

- How 'bout scream for help?
- Nah.

Help!

Wait!
Use the transmorphers! Now!

- Pterodactly!
- Tabretooth Tiger!

- Mastodon!
- Triceratops!

Tyrannosaurus!

Power Rangers!

Power Rangers!

Zoltar, they've done it!
They've made the metamorphosis!

Good. Teleport them
to downtown Angel Grove City.

- Rita just sent down Flyguy!
- Right away, Zoltar!

We're teleporting again!

Alright, dweebs! Dance!

Ooh! I'll show you
teenagers.

You'll just see how it goes
when Flyguy grow!

I call on the power
of the Tyrannosaurus!

Alright, let's go, guys!
Whoa! Cool!

- Hey, wait for us!
- Power Rangers! Count off!

- Zach here! This is kickin'!
- This is Billy. I'm nominal!

- Trini here. This is great!
- Hey, nice stereo!

Use your crystals to activate
the dynopower! Now!

- Rock and roll!
- Is this a great ride?! Or what?!

Trini here, ready to rock!
Comin' at ya!

This is Billy. All systems go!

Zack here! This is kickin'!

- Let's nail some bad guys!
- Morphin'!

- This leaves me quite ebullient!
- I guess that means he likes it.

Uh-oh! It looks like ugly man
brought a friend!

Hit 'em with the dynopower!

- What do we do now?!
- Activating Megazord battle mode!

Megazord sequence has been initiated.

- Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.

- Hiyah!
- Hey ugly,

how 'bout some mega dynopower?!

Ow, that hurt! Aw!

- Woo! We did it!
- Yeah! - All right!

Oh no.

I've got such a...
a headache!

- Yeah, all right!
- We got 'em!

And then the energy surge reversed
the polarity of our product's protons,

and we countered our inertial direction
and landed like this!

- Aw!
- Huh! He's got an owie!

I believe I pulled
my medial dorsalus tendon.

- Ooh, I heard that!
- "He's got an owie"!

We've been talking it over, Zoltar,
and...

Huh. ...some of us aren't sure
we're all up to this.

Yeah, Zoltar. I mean...,
we were pretty lucky this time.

Luck had nothing to do with it.

You five have come together to make
as fine a group of superheroes...

as there has ever been.

No way! Really?!

Each of you brings
something unique to this team.

Jason brings leadership and courage.
Kimberly, beauty and grace.

Zachary, a love for life.
Billy, a knowledge of the ages.

And Trini, lightning hands
and a peaceful soul.

You've been through
an extraordinary experience.

You need each other now,
and the world... needs you.

- Yeah! Alright, I'm in!
- Me too.

- You can count on me.
- Affirmative.

I don't know, guys. I really have
some serious shopping to do.

I mean, even though the outfits
are cool and everything...,

my hair gets all tangled up inside
the helmet. I don't think I can do it.

- Oh, Kimberly, say it's not so!
- Oh! Come on.

- Psyche!
- Oh, what a relief! "Psyche"!

Power Rangers!

5 and a half years, over 300 episodes.
Power Rangers has captured

the imaginations of children around
the world. So what's next?

Well, the only thing
that we know for sure
