Zordon or Alpha hacks the new rangers' phones and puts the communicator's ditty as the text/call ringtone.

Like:

ALPHA-5:
You are rangers now. So I gave your human comm devices a small Ranger upgrade. It'll function as a location jammer for Rita's surveillance drones!

cloning a thread of mine from imdb...

This movie will not be complete without the song Trouble by Shampoo.:D

I listen to it all the time, it's just so awesome. Not that there'll be a stereotypical early 90s montage in PR'17.... :p

They need to at least feature M.I.A.'s "Double Bubble Trouble" which is lightly inspired by Shampoo's tune (altho I think that song is about sex so maybe not......)

I'm trying to hold out hope for this. I have seen the toys and for some weird reason some of the dinos have 6 legs, and don't look right. Then there's the suits, helmets, Alpha weird looking alien....etc.



Thoughts?

It's growing on me a lot. I am mega hyped. I was always mega hyped tho lol

The mastodon has 6 legs, but it's not a dino.... And since it has 6 legs it might not even be a mastodon in this version. I sure hope not.

then again the mastodon had tank treads instead of legs in MMPR.

Wow! That's really sad. Instead of bringing back the whole cast and Bulk and Skull. They are bring back *couches* Jason David Frank and Amy Jo Johnson. I'm a sentai/ranger fan and just not a big fan of these two.

“Power Rangers 2” Early Talks, Zedd Wanted


power-rangers-2-early-talks-zedd-wanted-696x464.jpg


In terms of box-office, this year’s “Power Rangers” film reboot was a dud. With a costly production budget at $100 million, the film dramatically underperformed worldwide with an $85 million domestic haul and just $54 million overseas.

So a sequel is out of the question right? Not so fast. While the film may not have generated much business or critical notices, it has done a “Cars” and stimulated toy sales. Last month came word that sales of toys and action figures related to the franchise are up by 186% from the year before.

Are the sales of tie-in consumer products enough to greenlgiht another film? It would seem so. Ahead of the first film’s home video release, director Dean Israelite was asked by Screen Rant about the potential of a sequel and he says conversations have already happened:

“I hope so. It’s obviously not up to me, but I know the studio (Lionsgate) and Saban are talking in earnest about it, and are trying to push forward. They’re having a discussion.”

Israelite has previously said he wants to come back for the sequel which would likely include the arrival of Tommy Oliver (aka. the Green Ranger). Asked what other characters from the old franchise he’d like to reintroduce in a sequel, Israelite immediately suggested an iconic villain:

“You know, there was a lot of discussion at one point of Lord Zedd being in this movie. We didn’t have the real estate for it, and I didn’t want to dilute the storytelling, so Lord Zedd definitely has to make an appearance in the franchise, he’s a fan favorite.”

If they screwed up the way Goldar looked from a dog/monkey. How bad are they going to screw up the way Zedd looks. Plus, Zedd and Rita were married, and I wonder how that one is going to play into that.
