Jamie Croft a.k.a. Fred in MMPR The Movie

Got the idea for this post from a commenter. Jamie Croft, who will be 29 in August, who actually is exactly a year older than me, more or less--played Fred in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. He still acts. He is from Sydney, Australia and played a Young' John Crichton in the last season of "Farscape," Ben Browder (John Crichton) even kissed him on the cheek when he was unconscious on the show. He also played a young Hercules in the 2005 TV movie Hercules that included Sean Astin. Next up for him is Rampage (2010).

Believe me or not, he was about 13 or 14 when he shot the movie.

Skylar Deleon was not a Power Ranger

UPDATED 7/9/23

The following is not for Power Ranger fans that already know this but for those that still think that a Power Ranger committed the murder of Thomas and Jackie Hawks. When News broke about this in 2005, new sources incorrectly said Skylar Deleon played a Power Ranger. He claimed he was an extra on the show, first season episode "Second Chance." It wasn't even him. 


On April 10, 2009, Deleon was sentenced to death by Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank Fasel. He is currently awaiting the death penalty in Orange County Jail. . He was also accused of killing John Jarvi, a resident of Anaheim who was found dead in Mexico in 2003. Deleon's wife (now ex-wife), Jennifer, was found guilty on two counts of first degree murder on Friday November 17, 2006, after only four hours of jury deliberation. There is a lot more about Skylar Deleon and what had happened to Thomas and Jackie Hawks and that she is now transgender, that I am omitting but it is so much and there is so much controversy and to be explored about (his emotional breakdown and lots of claims) this topic, but I am not going to delve into it. I merely posted this to clarify that he didn't actually play a Power Ranger.

Goseiger: Warstar and Science-Fiction Movies

For WarStar, Goseiger producers decided to give the villains names from Science Fiction movies. I will cover the others later. Unlike Boukenger monsters, I am not comparing the monster design with the poster, just the names but put pictures for you to know what I am talking about. I don't believe the designs of the monsters are directly inspired by the movie, as they are supposed to be based on insects.

Mizorg of the Clump
Mizogu's name is from the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which in Japanese is Michi to no Sogu. Michitonosogu = Mizorg.

Zaruwakku of the UFO
Zaruwakku's name is from the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, which in Japanese is Saru no Wakusei. Saruwakusei = Zaruwakku. Not technically a outer space alien movie.


Yuzeikusu of the Ice & Snow
Yuzeikusu's name is from the 1982 film The Thing, Yusei kara no Buttai Ekkusu. Yusei and Ekkusu becoming Yuzeikusu.


Mazuata of Music
Mazuata's name is from the 1996 comedy film Mars Attacks! by Tim Burton.


Uchuseruzo of Influenza
Uchuseruzo's name is from The War of the Worlds, which in Japanese is called Uchu Senso. Uchusenso = Uchuseruzo. The War of the Worlds started as a radio play by H.G. Wells that made US citizens actually believe it was real. A movie was later made.

Hidou of Swift Runner
Hidou's name is from 1987 film The Hidden, an obscure reference. It is not highly remembered but I heard it is a good film. I used a foreign poster because I liked the image.

Abauta of the Research
Abauta's name is from the 2009 film Avatar.



Fandaho of Nonsense
Fandaho gets his name from the Marvel comic book The Fantastic Four. It is the first reference not to be a scary movie or even a directly outer space alien movie or book.

Irian of the Queen Bee
Irian's name is from the 1979 film Alien, also by James Cameron.

Kurasunigo of 5000°C
Kurasunigo's name is from the 1990 Japanese film Solar Crisis, Kuraishisu Nii Maru Go Maru. This is the first reference to be a Japanese film and not American.

Yokubabanga of Electric Shock
His name is from the 1987 film *batteries not included. In Japanese it is Nyū Yōku Higashi Hachibangai no Kiseki.

Pawadodaku of Mutation
His name comes from the 1986 comedy film Howard the Duck.


Tāgeito of the Satellite
He gets his name from the 1994 film Stargate.

Great King Month Drake
Month Doreiku's name comes from 1966 show Star Trek. Sutā Torekku = Monsu Doreiku. I used the 2008 movie poster because it was vertical and I couldn't find a vertical poster of the original series.

Dereputa from Meteor
His name came from the 1987 film Predator.

Buredoran of the Comet

Buredoran obviously comes from the break-through Blade Runner, the 1982 film. Also, this is not an outer space alien movie.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2010 - Green With Evil Part 5 (IN 3-D!!!) Review

This will be the final MMPR reversion I will be reviewing because I wanted to finish the Green With Evil and I figure what's the point since it has been canceled. Most likely the show will end in September when ABC gets new programming.


In this episode, the Rangers are shocked about Tommy being the dude that's been trying to kill them. So what do they do? Go out and seek him! Kimberly is brave enough to face him and plead to him that they could save him. Rita releases the Dragonzord from the sea and all the Rangers can do without the zords is look around. Alpha manages to bring Zordon back and bring the Zords back. The zords fight Dragonzord and put it in submission. Jason fights Tommy and manages to destroy the Sword of Darkness, or how Zack puts it... "Power Sword."

The reversion decided to put red and blue lines around some still shots, looking like it is meant to be in 3-D but it goes so quickly that what is the point of putting on 3-D glasses? So most likely it's just a similar looking effect but no really 3-D. As for the original episode, there is a lot of mistakes. Zack calls the Sword of Darkness the Power Sword. When the news shows Goldar attacking on TV, they show Rita in her palace, how they got a camera over there? Also, the infamous "No way!" from someone who is meant to be Tommy but sounds nothing like him. How I used to take this was that it was a voiceover device Tommy put on the Dragonzord. The revisionists didn't even fix it. They could have replace the sound with Dragonzord roars.

Voting Results: My Fan Film Project

It is time to come clean. Before I found out Saban was adapting Shinkenger, I decided (with my degree in TV Production) to do my own fan film using Shinkenger footage but not call it 'Power Rangers' because of copyright infringement. But I had already bought a lot of props and equipment already and decided not to go through with a Shinkenger adaptation because of new developments (i.e. Saban adapting the series). I am not connected in anyway to Disney or Saban, I am just a fan like everyone else. I did some polls on this blog but did not reveal the results or their real intention.

Also recently I got a comment from this fan: Sebastien Pitches said, "You are forgetting the poll for the Shinkenger as Power Rangers. .... [Also] maybe even think about YOUR idea for a Shinkenger and Goseiger adaptation. These are just some examples I'm not demanding you, just you may want to consider it one day." I have edited this comment and cropped it for the main idea pertaining to this topic but did not alter the original meaning of the commenter.

Best Name for Shinkenger as Power Rangers?
This was before we found out Saban would be back and he would be doing Shinkenger. I actually asked this question for my own fanfilm.
Samurai Strike - 187 of 215
Eternal Samurai - 42 votes
Team Samurai - 30 votes
Forever Samurai - 28 votes

I want to make a Power Ranger Fan Film, should it be based on...
Shinkenger 124 of 196
Goseiger 72 votes

So since I decided not to use the Shinkenger footage because of the new developments. I decided to do Dairanger and for a number of reasons. I could have done Jetman or an older Sentai, but since I already had team jackets for red, green, blue, pink and yellow and I didn't want to buy a light blue one, white one and black one, as I have such a low low lowest budget imaginable. Also, since we are using the Dairanger footage, I decided to first use one episode that wasn't used by MMPR and not refer to the beasts as Thunderzords. I don't want to discuss what I would have done with the Shinkenger footage until the new PR season started, or maybe even after it ended.

The D of the Dairanger suits should stand for what if it was for PR?
Destiny - 70 of 124
Devine - 42
Danger - 5
Daring - 7

If Dairanger was made into Power Rangers, what name would be appropriate?
Mythical Squad 57 of 127
Mythical Rage 26 (21%)
Daring Destiny 14 (10%)
Defining Destiny 17 (14%)
Daring Legends 11 (7%)
Danger Squad 2 (1%)

I don't like the title 'Mythical Squad' (which was the post voted in the above poll) so I will have it in a new poll compared with 'Mythical Destiny' because I really want the word 'Destiny' in the title to tie in with the 'D's on the uniforms. I am calling them Destiny Rangers. So this is a fanfilm/webisode, and won't be sold for money or any monetary gain, this fan webisode will be posted on this blog for free. I managed to get my friends to be the Rangers, they are not professional actors. So we will start shooting in June, hopefully will be done by August. It will just be one webisode, if it gets a good reception, and I can get everyone back together, then we might do a small web series. Depending on how fans receive it, I might even do some of the Dairanger story arcs.

So what is the plot?
Five descendants of warriors that fought for generation after generation to save the world from manifestation of anger, pain and depression. They were trained in an academy but it has now been destroyed and it is up to them to form a team.
