    HE LOOKS LIKE TOMMY... OMG could it be him?! The Green Ranger who then became the white ranger.. I was a minor fan of the series back in the day and he was actually my favorite character..


    Nah. The murderer is in fact an extra and didnt have any leading roles.

    It's not. This guy was an extra/throwaway character.

    Fun fact: I actually watched one of the newer episodes (Ninja Death Force 3 or something), and "Tommy" was actually in that episode. Whether he was a cast member or just a guest, I don't know. He was my favorite character, too :).

    I remember a case in Norway where three kids played power rangers, and they killed the third one, and TV3 (a TV channel) stopped showing the TV shows.

    The first and second seasons of power rangers WERE an actual Japanese show with Voice overs during the battles, and they added in American footage and characters in the USA.

    The more you know!

    Yeh thats true. In fact, the first fight scene in the FIRST episode they aired on Fox Kids I remember seeing some signs in Japanese in the background.

    I remember all the other knockoff shows that appeared shortly after PR became popular such as:

    VR Troopers
    and I forget the title of this show but it had just one hero and he looked like a bug, well his helmet had the bug eyes and even the antennas.

    Oh man, I remember the knock offs...

    Theres the obvious VR Troopers, and the slightly less remembered Big Bad Beetle Borgs (probably what you're thinking of) and finally the hilarious "Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad."

    The show were they looked like bugs was Tatoo teen fighters or teen tattoo fighters something like that it was very swiss. I used to watch pr before i go to school every morning and joke with the other kids but then again i was in 12th grade and ready to graduate. And every one called me the green ranger because i would call for my ultra zoid during my wrestling matches.. it was stupid but it got me in the local paper.

    Karmen Rider, a green hero who wore a grasshopper mask and rode a motorcycle, adapted by Saban (the company responsible for butchering these Sentai series) as Masked Rider.

    So this guy tied two old people to an anchor and threw them overboard, stole thier boat, and then tried to empty thier bank account? Damn. Talk about cold blooded.

    I thought that show was called the "Masked Mantis" (or something with "Mantis" in it). That was one odd show... I do have fond memories of watching it at my grandmother's house, though.
     
  18. All the Power Rangers should have been locked up from birth then we would not have had to witness such crap!

    I forgot about Big Bad Beetle borgs. My lil brother owned some of their action figures and I can't believe I still remember how their theme song goes.
