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.
