Awesome stuff guys! Love it.

Interesting thing on the Black/Yellow ranger casting.

Supposedly originally Zack (meant to be Jason's closest friend) was going to be the blue ranger, but in the Zyuranger footage the black ranger was more of the second in command (and the blue ranger was the comedic relief) so Zack was shifted to black.

As for the yellow ranger, in the pilot episode, she was actually a completely different (non Asian) actress, named Audri Dubois. Rumor is that she had serious questions about pay/contract and was promptly let go (foreshadowing the season 2 red/yellow/black exodus), and the casting process started up again.

Also, you guys should totally look into the creation of what became known as "Zyu 1.5"/"Zyu 2" footage. Where Saban actually had the Japanese production team create new footage specifically for the American series. All sorts of new shots that cover everything from better voice sync for Rita, new monsters, and more "on brand" American character behavior for the costumed rangers (blue is shown as always having a new invention, the pink and yellow rangers interact more, green will try to protect pink, etc.). This stuff bled into season 2 which is why you don't see the thunder megazord actually interact with grown monsters until like 10 episodes in. Because technically those America specific monsters (Pirantishead, etc.) were actually fighting the Dino Megazord.

@mrheist: Out of curiosity, are you thinking of The Getaway?

@elite49: its apparently 80x worse, and rife with grindy microtransaction bait...
