Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Complete Series - DVD

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Complete Series. What a great box set this is. Anybody who doesn't already own this should buy this as quickly as possible. For starters, this includes all 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and includes the 10 episode miniseries Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers. In total, that's 155 episodes. You have 60 episodes for Season 1, 52 for Season 2, and 33 for Season 3, and of course the 10 for Alien Rangers. Not to mention, there are a bunch of brand new, never-before seen special features.Mighty Morphin Season 1 was an overall good start to the series. You have the first 5 rangers (Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, and Zack) being picked by Zordon and his assistant Alpha 5 to become the first team of Rangers to battle against Rita Repulsa's evil minions. Tommy, the Green Ranger, is at first selected to be evil and to destroy the other Rangers, but eventually joins the team to fight against Rita. He later loses his powers, and gives the Dragonzord coin to Jason to use. Tommy later gets his powers back, although they are weakened, and once again helps the Rangers fight against Rita. Other cool things about the season are the Dinozords, the Dragonzord, and Titanus, which all can combine to form the first Ultrazord ever. Plus you have the comedy relief of Bulk and Skull who are always bullying the other rangers as well as trying to get dates with Trini and Kimberly, and not to mention Zack's numerous attempts at getting Angela's attention.Mighty Morphin Season 2 introduces to us a new villain of the series: Lord Zedd, who is basically Rita's boss. He comes in to take Rita's place, and banishes her back to her Space Dumpster and sends her flying through space. Zedd's magic is so strong for the Rangers, that they are forced to upgrade to new zords: The Thunderzords, with the exception of Tommy, whose Green Ranger powers are slowly starting to fail (he still uses the Dragonzord a couple of times until his powers are gone for good). When Tommy loses his Green Ranger powers, he comes back as the White Ranger and gains control of the Tigerzord, along with his talking sword Saba at his side. Later on however, the Rangers meet 3 teens from another high school, named Rocky DeSantos, Aisha Campbell, and Adam Park. These 3 teens are later selected to become the new Red,Yellow, and Black Rangers to replace Jason, Trini, and Zack when they are "selected" to attend the World Peace Summit in Switzerland. The Rangers then also gain Tor the Shuttlezord, and with it they can form the Thunder Ultrazord. Rita comes back later and with Finster's help, forces Zedd to fall in love with her and they get married. Bulk and Skull pretty much spend this entire season trying to expose the Ranger's secret identities. Plus the summer after this season ended is when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie was released in theaters (which is not included in this set, you have to get it separately if you want it.)Mighty Morphin Season 3 introduces a new TV series called Masked Rider, which is introduced in the 3 part episode "A Friend in Need" when the Rangers, except for Kimberly travel to Alpha 5's home planet of Edinoi to help them out. In the 4 part episode Ninja Quest, Rito Revolto is introduced as Rita's brother who successfully destroys the Thunderzords and damages the Rangers' Power Coins. The Rangers are then forced to search in the Desert of Despair for the Ninja Temple and Ninjor, who created the first 6 Power Coins, to give the Rangers their new Ninja Powers, along with the new Ninja Zords. Later this season, we are introduced to Katherine "Kat" Hilliard, who is under Rita's control and takes Kimberly's Power Coin as well as the Falconzord, and Ninjor is kidnapped by Goldar. The Rangers then use the Shogun Zords, and the Rangers later are able to use the Ninja Zords once again when Kimberly is selected to train in the Pan Global Games in Florida, and Kimberly passes her powers on to Kat. Then later on Rita and Rito's father Master Vile comes in and gives the Rangers more trouble. He is there to search for the Zeo Crystal, which Tommy finds, and Zordon has the Rangers split it up and send it through a time portal to different periods of time. He even successfully uses the Orb of Doom to reverse time on Earth and reduces the Rangers to Powerless children (something Zedd did in Season 2, but failed Miserably), which then ends Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and leads into Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.In Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, the Rangers are still Powerless children and luckily are able to get back to the Command Center. Zordon and the Rangers then contact Aquitar to ask the Alien Rangers to come to Earth and help protect it while the child Rangers find a way to restore Earth to it's correct time. A couple episodes in to the miniseries Billy manages to invent a device that uses the Power Coins to restore themselves to their correct age. Unfortunately Zedd, Rita, and their minions successfully find the device and destroy it along with the Power Coins. Zordon then tells the children Rangers there is only one way to restore Earth to it's correct time: They must travel in time to find the shards of the Zeo Crystal. Rocky goes to find the Blue Crystal first, then Adam finds his Green Crystal, then Tommy and Kat find their Red and Pink Crystals (also Tommy encounters an old relative of his who gives him half of an arrowhead, which it is explained further what it is in Zeo). Aisha is the last to find hers, but decides to stay in Africa to help the dying animals of the land, and sends her new friend Tanya in her place. Meanwhile, Zedd and Rita sent Rito and Goldar to plant an explosive device in the Command Center, and at the same time they summoned the Hydro Hog from Aquitar, who is the Alien Rangers' greatest threat. With the Alien Rangers using the Shogun MegaFalconzord, they destroy Hydro Hog for good. The Rangers use the Zeo Crystal to restore everybody to their correct ages and the Earth to it's correct time. As the Rangers except for Tanya say their goodbyes to the Alien Rangers and thanking them for the help, Rito and Goldar steal the completed Zeo Crystal as the other Rangers get back to the Command Center. Just then the explosive device activates and Alpha teleports the Rangers to safety just as the Command Center blows up while the Rangers watch. The series ends in a cliffhanger as the Rangers are unsure of the fates of Zordon and Alpha.So all in all, if you are a fan of Power Rangers, I highly suggest you get this set, whether you're an old fan or a new one.

Fantastic show. You get the whole series for such a great price. Lots of fun watching this show.

For me, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were a kind of refuge from the hardships of my daily life.In the summer of 1994, I bought one of the last SEGA CD video game systems. Included in the package was something called "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."It was most likely included so it could be gotten rid of as the game probably didn't sell very well."Oh well" my 15 year-old self thought as I slid the CD in to the system and heard rida proclaiming that it was "TIME TO concor EARTH!"It was my first intro to quick time event gaming, and; through about 35 minutes of incredibly snowy video clips; I played through what I eventually found out was most of the major parts of season 1.I wasn't what you'd call immediately hooked, but I gradually began to like the show more as I watched more of it.A complete, legal DVD set of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has been a long time in coming, but now that it's here, I decided to buy it to collect a lot of my teen-year memories.I don't regret my purchase one bit!Considering the show's age, the quality on display is amazing. Most shows have near perfect audio and visual presentation.All of the discs have a play all option, and all episodes have about 6 chapter stops per show.The set comes in an attractive sturdy box that holds all of the DVD discs.Seasons 1 and 2 come in two cases each that hold a total of 3 discs.Season 3 and alien rangers come in one case; 3 on 4 discs and alien rangers; or season 3.5 as it is called is on the last disc.All of these discs can be bought separately with alien rangers coming in its own release separate from season 3.the exclusive extras start with a booklet that covers all of the rangers and contains some back-story from the series.The really good stuff comes on the two extra DVD discs that come in there own slim case.In all you get about 90 minutes of all-new extras in 3 features, one on the series itself, one on the casting, and another on the fans.You also get every VHS release between 94 and 95.This includes Lord Zedd's monster heads, Alpha's Magical Christmas, the Good the Bad and the Stupid, the fan club video fans got when they became JR. Power rangers, the white ranger kata; basically a work-out video, and the live tour. Over-all a treasure-trove of content all in better quality than you probably saw them in on VHS tapes when they were originally released.Regrettably, only the white ranger kata and live tour have chapter stops, but hay what can you do.Both discs also have a play all option.The packaging also has some issues, particularly with the green ranger. I guess they had trouble getting good picks of the green ranger or something, but aside from that, shout! has done an excellent job with this set and I can't wait for the rest of the set to come out.Price brake-down: If you buy every part of the set individually you'll spend about 80 dollars anyway, so if you can get this set for about that or cheaper, you'll be getting an incredible deal, over 150 episodes!

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Complete Series. This is a complete collection of the Power Ranger TV series which aired in the 1990s. This 'Boxed Set' has seasons: 1, 2, and 3, + bonus features. If you are a MMPR fan, you are bound to enjoy watching these. I bought these because I never saw the first few episodes when I was in my early 20s. I also love - - Amy Jo Johnson!This particular series (MMPR) really progressed in style from Season 1 up to Season 3. I thought that all of the stories were very, very good and well put together - - 'most' of the 'in costume' fighting sequences are from the 3 different Japanese Ranger TV series called: Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kakuranger (I am pretty sure of this).I thought that this series was an English dubbed show from Japan when I first saw the commercials for the First Season of MMPR back in the 1990s, but it turned out that Saban edited the shows from Japan and combined the American actors: Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, Jason David Frank, Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, and Walter Emanuel Jones, etc. with the 'in costumed' fight sequences - along with some of the monster scenes - and the Zord Battles. This show is Genius! Love the Ranger shows from Japan and also the MMPR series!
