None of us really know each other
We're all screw ups
But somehow
We were all at the same place and the time when Billy found those coins.
Go go
Power Rangers *Laugh*
but that's not the first line, is it?
No, that's the most iconic line line of Power Rangers.
yeah it is the most iconic.
Like that's what to me it's like
I think I was my text tone when I was told I was going to be Power Ranger, I bought it
and I was like it was like "Doo doo doo doo do"
Bow bow wow wow bow wow wow wow...
This is such a nostalgic experience especially for me so did you grow up watching Power Rangers? I just have to ask
Of course, I personally I don't remember the shows per say, like I'm sure I did.
I do remember playing Power Rangers with my brother.
very specifically I remember that. I remember we'd like stand
on opposite sides room on the sofa and then like fight I don't know if that's, ya
But um yes about that was my connection I think that even if you didn't watch
the shows you somehow had a connection to it
uh well the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Obviously came out in 93 and I wasn't born, yet. But I was introduced to it
little bit later than everyone else and my older cousins are like a fan of it so
I obviously took on that power ranger passion and just being so young it was
like the colors and the fact that like you could be a superhero with your
friends that like really resonated with me and like clicked and like now that the
when the opportunity or like came about I was like that's crazy like how
life is comes like full circle yeah so I was of course a fan growing up
yeah
definitely yeah me and my brothers used to watch The Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers movie that was made in 1993 literally watched it over and over again
to where it was like a really bad habit for kids to have *laugh* it was just like
No homework, watch a movie and then our parents are take the movie away. And then
They would get mad, ya.
Guys! Check out how we glow.
I'm blue! *laugh*
I'm black! ... What? I am. No you're not.
What I also loved about this certain approach
this version of the film is the fact that for the very first time you
actually are kids with attitude
right
I mean the original that was the tagline
but they felt like role models to me absolutely I mean well that's the thing
I still think you can be a role model and just be a human being that's not perfect
I think that yeah and I think that these kids are obviously going through
real issues and they go through real things whether it's cyber bullying and
whatever that might be and I think that's really important
because I think hopefully kids can watch and relate to at least one of us you
know and yeah
yeah
I don't feel like you know it was I don't feel like it was
just pushed to make these hey have attitude it was more like just
respond like teenagers cuz we're practically teenagers right and so that
came from the direction of our director trusting us that we knew yeah you know I
think there was certainly that point in the incubation process where they went
through this kind of like strategic how do we pay homage to the original series
but also giving us the floor to create our own characters and I think through
giving us the floor to create our own characters we were able to develop
people who naturally had that attitude that's inbuilt as an adolescent when you
don't know what you're doing with you life you don't know where you're going
and you're kind of rebelling against the world
you know like stuff the man like I'm going to do what I want to do and they
Scene. In a certain aspect. *Laugh* In a certain sense, our attitude comes from
the imperf*Break* imperfection that exists in every single teenager.
insecurities the problems that they deal with their physical imperfections and
Do you feel weird?
We're strong!
Insanely strong...
the answer to what is happening to you is here.
You five are the Power Rangers
Did I just hear you say, we're Power Rangers? is this some kind of joke? we're talking to a
wall I was kind of expecting a little more
If the original cast like, some of the cast members reach out to you or did you
reach out to them?
yeah no when I was cast
Amy Jo Johnson like very so like on Twitter just messaged me and said you
know good luck I'm sure you're going to be great which I think was so sweet because
she didn't have to do that and she's but she's been really supportive of us and
we met her met her a couple of times and she's fantastic she's so awesome.
I mean I kind of the same experience I think doing comic-con and
stuff we got to meet a couple of them anything it's super cool to kind of be
like oh wow like everyone's like pussin' over the toy it's super cool.
She hasn't aged like a day I don't really understand I'm like but how... what are you drinking
I need to get some of that yeah
I think she's just a real power ranger
maybe
maybe... or an angel.
Or an angel
Or a bit of both both
or a bit of both, she's just like, yeah
So where were you last night
Me me and four kids found a spaceship buried underground
I'm pretty sure I'm a superh hero.
Cool...
Pee in that cup!
growing up I'm going to be honest I
had a crush on Amy Jo Johnson
. Who didn't? Who didn't?
so did you have a crush on a
particular Power Ranger? Amy Jo Johnson. Amy Jo Johnson!
jeez, I mean, honestly, it's like if we talk about a girl crush like I think of
somebody who like, you like aspire to be like and kind of, like, inspires you and stuff,
like, like that big Power Rangers, like, it's like the fact that there's, like,
female superheroes is like all cool in itself you know anyways I would say, like,
the pink Power Ranger it was like, super cool. Go crush on Amy.
Power Rangers were a legion of warriors
you must become those warriors
It's just a hologram,
like a video game
Thats a strong ass hologram.
not a video game.
Last question
would you be done for a sequel? of course
I could imagine another film that would cast us 5, um, altogether on another movie so
yeah, I-I- I would kill for the chance to work with my cast. Well don't kill, no kill
There's enough killing going on around there. It's too much. I wouldn't kill you. I would, like, I would
kill bad things, like a virus or something like that. Ok, touché. High five
Cool. yeah with this cast I mean, I could, I could do like 30 Power Ranger movies just because
we had so much fun. I mean it was tough, it was really hard, uhh,
lots of hard work, but I mean, we all genuinely loved each other so, I wouldn't mind.
This, is your time.
