Yeah. I have to admit I got choked up when I ran across that clip. Thuy was a wonderful girl and she is really missed by all of us. I'm glad I was lucky enough to work with her.

Thanks for sharing that Jeff. Thuy was the main reason I watched the show. I was much older than the target audience and thought she was cute and very attractive. She seemed to be a really sweet girl. It's very sad that she is no longer with us, because I think she would have loved the convention scene & meeting with fans and knowing what a impact that the show and her character had on so many people.

Honestly guys, the Ranger actors were just kids playing around and having fun all the time. JDF was super cool. He was just young and excited to be getting to do this job. Austin was the same way. He was just more laid back about it. They were all great kids and now they are great adults. Jason wasn't trying to be sneaky or grab all the attention for himself. All I meant to say was that he was super-hyper every day like a jumping bean. These are some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. So please don't confuse goofing around with being a diva. I've worked with divas and these guys were a million miles away from that. They're great.

Sebastian Bena I know! It's just so sad that she was taken from us too soon! I loved her! 💛💛💛💛💛

The original cast will always be my favorite. Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, Walter Jones, Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost. Although the characters were stereotypical, there was great chemistry between the cast members. You could tell they were friends.

To Jeff Pruitt, Sophia Crawford and the rest of the stunt crew, along with the original Power Rangers cast, thank you for the wonderful, vibe, energy, dedication and genuine commitment to make a wonderful show that inspired people's lives. I myself one afternoon stumbled upon Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on TV, by chance, during the summer holidays, one afternoon, flicking through TV channels. I saw Austin St. John battle Goldar already in his red Power Ranger outfit, in a smoked filled environment, doing all sorts of flamboyant kicks and flips, along with ninja rolls on the floor. Being a martial arts enthusiast who grew up with as Bruce Lee as my childhood hero and a bonafide Hong Kong action movie fan, the martial arts action sequences in Power Rangers is what grasped my attention and made me become a bonafide fan. Thank you for uploading this wonderful behind the scenes video montage. Thuy Trang rest in peace and God bless your benevolent soul, you were one of the reasons I fell in love with Asian girls.

The martial arts moves ,and stunt men behind them and the puddies , and the athletic original cast actors, that made it somewhat believable that it could be them behind the Power Ranger suits ,is what really kicked this show off!

Adrian Mcinnis right on my fellow Power Ranger brother. Indeed the athleticism and martial arts powers of the original Power Rangers cast, gave it credibility and brought inspiration to many of our young lives, growing up back in the 1990s. They were the perfect, as well as ideal, motivational role models. I am so blessed they were part of my childhood! 👍 😊 ✌

A good majority of this is B.S. because the show actually used footage for the fight scenes from Super Sentai. In the show they never wore their suits. It was always Japanese footage from Super Sentai. That's why Yellow doesn't have a skirt. In Super Sentai that's a man.

The power rangers were a part of my childhood. To Jeff Pruitt and the rest of the stunt team. Thank you.

born in 88' & growing up as a Sentai kid & a PR kid made me glad u brought Hiroshi Maeda from Sentai to reprise his stunt role as Red Ranger & even better working with Sophia Crawford. even got meet them at Morphicon

MMPR was the first exposure I ever had to the metal genre of music. Forever grateful.

4:40 I'm black and I play the black ranger ... go figure! hahah

Thanks, this made me feel like a child again, back in the good old days. Of the originals Power Rangers. I enjoyed seeing the behinds the sceens of all the characters; Especially my favorite one of all . . . R.I.P. Thuy Trang . . .

Such nostalgia. My 7 year old daughter loves the original power rangers and I'm rewatching them with her and having a great time still as an aging man!!

I did a couple of episodes for season 3 while we were still in Australia doing the MMPR movie. After that I got my DGA card (Power Rangers was a non-union directing job) and left the show. Sophia went with me. My former assistant Koichi took over from there.

Did they become Return of The Green ranger arc ? This was the end of season 2. Also Hien,Babydoll, Branden,Mer Mer also left around this time.

Rest in peace jason

Thank you so much for putting this up and helping to craft the show. Just like so many others, power rangers was a huge part of my childhood and I hope to one day be a ranger myself for the newer generation of kids.

And another huge piece of the puzzle falls into place as to why there has always been friction between JDF and ASJ.

Wow I cant believe its been this long since I used to watch Power Rangers as a kid. Its so strange seeing the cast be themselves. Watching these fight scenes is still exhilarating even as an adult. Lol every 90's kid wanted to be a power ranger. I remember I used to put on my pink ranger gloves with the sound effects and punch at the air.

David's face when JDF interrupts going "Green Green Green!" XD

thanks for making the video Jeff! Nice to see insider look like this! My mind was blown today by your videos about making of MMPR!

This is incredible! Thank you for uploading this!

It's funny how there are just as many fans out there that think the red ranger is the best as there are that think the green ranger is. My personal favourite is the red ranger!

We all know the actors of Power Rangers, but a Good Director is the one that make it work... I loved this video. I'm 22 and I still love Power Rangers. Thanks for making my childhood awesome C:

I grew up with this show, and this behind the scenes stuff is great! Thanks!

This is great, Jeff! Wish this had been in the DVD box set!

I was a power ranger kid I was 5 when this came out

thank you so much for making this. :)

Thanks for all Jeff!!! Thank u very much for thats childhood memories.

This is amazing, my childhood through a different lense.

u gave me an Amazing childhood, its something soo permanent and important to what kinduva person id grow up to be. i hope you have an idea of how great this show, its lifetyle, games and toys filled us 90s kids hearts man. THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!

I was one of the mighty morphin power rangers kids I'm 24 now love this video its awesome thank you @Jeff Pruitt

Thanks for this Jeff!!! I've been a Power Rangers fan since season 1 when I was 5! Still a fan, although I could do without Koichi Sakamoto's excessive explosions.

Another awesome look behind the scenes.

Jeff Pruitt is an amazing stunt performer and choreographer.The first time i saw him in a movie it was back on 1992 in Martial Law 2 in the factory fight with Jeff Wincott.His speed is amazing

I remember reading about Sofia Crawford in a Inside Kung Fu magazine that mentioned her her work in mmpr and Buffy.

Thank you, Mr. Pruitt, sincerely.

Thank you Jeff, your work is what got me and my brothers into martial arts.

David Yost shouted "Get out of here!!" when JDF interrupt with the "green green green" haha. I mean look at Thuy Trang reaction!

Like I said before, having children on the stunt team would have been awesome. :) VR Troopers did an EXCELLENT episode where kids became the heroes for a change, allowing Beetleborgs to follow in its wake.

The bit with Bulk saying non-union at the end…oh my god!

I did read Jason David Frank WAS in costume ALOT doing his own stunts! Just look at him fighting in clothing and compare and it's almost identical! Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost I knew weren't because they didn't have the martial arts abilities. I always had a soft spot for Johnny Yong Bosch aka Adam. He seems off set like a REALLY nice guy and was a "cute" ranger ("I'm a frog!" lol! Take a look at JDF now as an MMA fighter...amazing!

Literally every other cast member has corroborated the fact they weren't often in the suits, including JDF because the filming schedule would not allow for it. They were often filming two or three episodes at the same time.

A couple of things I wish were done would be for all of the Zyu2 footage to be used before the Thunderzords were introduced, another would be for the Dragonzord to stick around still as Tommy's zord even after becoming the white ranger who on occasions would summon it for the monster fights in seasons 2 and 3. Well, Titanus was brought back in season 3. Having the Dragonzord present would explain why it's chest was on Titanus when the new ultrazords were being formed. And I would love to see White Ranger Tommy playing the dragon flute.

Funny how he had the putty team come up with their own intro. Really made them more fun

Jeff Pruitt you did awesome job back in the day

HAHAHAHAHA!! I AM AN ORIGINAL POWER RANGER KID!!! I was 9 years old when this show started...I was hooked!!! GREAT STUNTS!! But what can we expect from Jeff Pruitt!! NOTHING BUT THE BEST!

I Was also a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger kids, this Is awesome, thanks for uploading this

Very cool BTS stuff! Its something I'm actually interested in doing! Also, this version of the theme song was actually used in the new Power Rangers movie!

to think that he directed both Buffy The Vampire Hunter and Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, I want to know If Jeff has done more recent works during this time ( 2000 - 2016 )

3.02 Danny Wayne as Goldar. 3.04 Sophia,Eddo,Hien not sure on the other 5. The stunt crew both US & Japanese worked so hard with the face rangers on stunts. The stunt crew also did Make A Wish events for fans.

Mr. Pruitt, first of all thank you for these PR behind the scenes, they're great to watch. I was wondering what you think about the Gokaiger/Megaforce 2nd season, it being the 20th anniversary series that more of the original MMPR's aren't there? I actually am curious to see JDF back as the white ranger.

Thanks for this.

This power ranger batch I miss so much. i wish the tv management and production at that time treated the cast better.

Thank You for posting this. As a 20 year old this brings back serious memories Lol. I used to be a power ranger freak wish I was a member of this cast but of course I was wayyy to young at the time (still going to daycare) This brings me to question how the original cast was chosen--how did the auditioning process go?

I miss the 90's watching Power Rangers am still fan to this day. Love original cast members best and original MegaZord and DragonZord. Season 1 is best. Season Thunder Zord was pretty boring to be honest not good as MegaZord and also in season 2 I hated 3 cast members left. Season 3 got back on track and love Ninja suits and zords in season 3. Never watch any more after Mighty Morphin power Rangers season 3 from that point but will end up getting them on DVD and watch them. I started collecting old Power ranger toys, VHS videos and start getting new stuff also. I am back in as fan as was when was kid. Oh man miss 90's gone so fast am now 32 years old lol. Also like pay my respects to Thuy Trang R.I.P the best Yellow Power Ranger such so sad she gone too soon I only knew about few years ago and had crush on her too when I was kid. Love this video thanks for uploading it. I am from UK Wales

Theeeeeeeey ve got the ability to morph to even out theeeeee score! Love this footage and respect to the stunt director and stunt actors for putting in the ahrd work that created our childhood dreams!!!!!!!!!!Im 29 and I grew up with the MMPR. I rememeber being 5 and having all sorts of pwoer ranger toys and the red ranger mask. The 90s were the best times ever. Everything was bright and colorful and free! The clothing and style was so colorful and so varied! Now everything is so tight and gloomy and dark! People are also dark and gloomy and everything has to be political correct! Back then no one cared that the black ranger was actually black! Cuz the color black wasnt associated to having a brown skin color until much later in time. Now every tv show has to keep all sorts of rules in mind and has to be careful in what they say and do.

thank you jeff!!!!

Awww, they're so young.

hey the original is the best, its still awesome to watch when it comes on, brings back excellent memories.

This was so sweet :c

I can't help but feel that Jason was trying to steal the glory from Austin. Funny thing thing, Austin doesn't hate him but JDF will do everything to take shots at him and it seems this is why Austin had enough of him in the end. Low pay, Jason taking all his shots and taking over as the main guy and even saying himself that he's more popular... That's way too arrogant and he's unfortunately even worse today. He thinks he IS Power Rangers.

Would love to see a in depth full length behind the scenes/ making of the MMPR tv show with cast interviews, unseen footage on set e.t.c..

You know i seen alot of comments bout JDF trying to rake all the shine but i dont think tht was the case i think he took alot of pride in his role, not saying the rest dident but he was just that much more enthusiastic, hes always been wat seems like a funny, down to earth guy that put alot of effort into wat he did ppl forget for the first year JDF was pushed aside alot compared to the others and us kids loved him i still at 30 years old can say he was my childhood hero as much as iron man spiderman etc is to kids

Wow... It's a BTS from the episode "Puty on the Brain" and I literally still have the video tape!

Jeff you have amazing kick speed too!! I remember watching Sword of Honor and thinking "MY GOD HE'S FAST!"

oh man.. this is awesome..

Dude, you gotta do the stunt/fight coordination for the Halo movie. The "Elites" are big on hand to hand. Man, that will be so badass!!!

Glad JDF shared this on facebook :D

Totally love this.

i always wanted to know how u did the stunts and the morphing prosses now i can but it to bed after 15yrs of being a fan of the show

Jeff, you are the man!

Awwwww i used to loveeee them.... :D

It( power rangers) wasn't nostalgic yet when this vid came out. In 2021 the 93 rangers are officially nostalgic. Go 86, 85. 84 eighties babies! This belongs to us and us only :)

JDF is the same way now as he was back then I love it!

I like the still photos they show.

Yezzirrrrrr. Us Stunt guys gettin praise 🔥✊🏿

Now we just need someone to do one about the sound effects. I'm still trying to find out where the sounds came from/how some were made.

To think Jason and Austin never got on in real life, it's a shame.

Jeff and Sophia !!!! Buffy the vampire slayer my mind is blown.

So how did they get all those are monster costumes in the hallway I just wanna know how do they perform the monster stunts inside them

For the longest I wanted to know who was the stuntwoman doing Thuy's stunts at 4:26? Thuy was injured at the time.

Whoa, Sophie Crawford as the stuntwoman for Kimberly? I thought that was Catherine Sutherland at first. :P

0:35 That's where Hulk Hogan learned the deadly fingerpoke that killed WCW!!!!!!! ;*(

I totally never thought about the fact that no one gets hit in the face...

OMG my childhood right here! XD

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers rule! I still love them and I also have a real original red ranger costume. Go Go Power Rangers!:)
