Summary

Having watched all season ofPower Rangersmore than once , I ’m surprise by how great the show ’s weirdest episode is . Power Rangersis based onSuper Sentai , mean that the tonus and the aesthetic of the American show are very much limit by what the Nipponese enfranchisement does . One ofSuper Sentai ’s specify traits is comedy , from jokes that get lose in translation and can not be incorporate into the localized version to visual gag that are often reutilized inPower Rangers .

The honest thing aboutwatchingPower Rangersin chronological orderis to see how certain aspects of the show evolve with fourth dimension . For example , fromPower Rangersin Spaceonward , the show started to spend a fiddling more time originate the characters and giving them actual personalities . The previous 1990s and the early 2000s also saw a major advance in the American activity sequences , with seasons likeLightspeed RescueandTime Forcedelivering nifty battle even when the Rangers were unmorphed . This is what occur inTime Force ’s “ Movie Madness . ”

Mighty Morphin may be Power Rangers ’ most iconic time of year , but some of the good character in the dealership only debuted after the original show ended .

Timo Force’s “Movie Madness” Is One Of Power Rangers’ Weirdest Episodes

The Power Rangers Were Fighting… A Movie Director?

Power Rangers Time Forceepisodes 24 and 25 were a two - part story call “ Movie Madness . ” The premise of the sequence was a monster , Cinecon , who could send the Rangers to alternate movie dimensions . After being tricked into come along as spear carrier and stunt performer in a movie starring Jen ’s favorite action wiz , the Rangers are split up and sent to unlike alternating reality . For case , the Red and Green Rangers were sent to a westerly picture , whereas the Quantum Ranger was sent to a Tarzan spoof . As nonsensical as this premise was , it redeem one of my favoriteTime Forceepisodes .

The Rangers could not morph in these alternating realism , mean that most of the fighting scene in the episode feature the characters without their costumes . rather of reducing the number of fight scenes so that the episode would not have to worry about teaching the actors the stage dancing or change between the star and the stunt performing artist in every shot , Time Forcedoubled down on this unusual assumption . Each Ranger had to fight their way out of these alternate universesusing nothing but their fist and whatever was available in the movie set .

Despite Its Bizarre Plot, “Movie Madness” Has Some Of Power Rangers’ Best Fights

The Hand-To-Hand Fight Scenes Were A Standout Of Time Force’s “Movie Madness”

Once “ Movie Madness ” started , I assumed it was just a makeweight episode to make up for the lack ofSuper Sentaifootage . pay that the Rangers could not morph , I thought there would only be a couple of fight scenes here and there before the eventual showdown between the Megazord and the demon of the week . However , I could not have been more wrong . From the “ fake fight ” between in - universe movie maven Frankie Chang and Wes to all the battles that bechance across the two - part episode,“Movie Madness ” had some of the right civilian fights in the franchise .

Parts ofTime Force’s"Movie Madness " were take at the Universal Studios lot .

activity sequences , particularly deal - to - hand conflict , had always been the heart and somebody ofSuper SentaiandPower Rangers . This is somethingTime Force ’s “ Movie Madness ” becharm incredibly well and even know in a meta agency . The installment starts with Wes gleefully offer himself to act as a stuntmanin Chang ’s latest action moving picture , followed by the first of many incredible helping hand - to - hand armed combat scenes . While I always expect to see well - choreograph fights inPower Rangers , moment like Jen proving herself suitable of the scroll or Lucas ' samurai movie action were just too telling .

“Movie Madness” Is Strangely One Of The Best Power Rangers Episodes Of All Time

Each Ranger Gets A Cool Moment In “Movie Madness”

Despite the silliness of seeing the Quantum Ranger plume as Tarzan or Wes fudge an accent to be in a Western , “ Movie Madness ” might be one of the greatestPower Rangersepisodes of all time . deliberate it is a two - part sequence , it drive home 40 min of non - stop , well - choreograph action that beguile the essence ofPower Rangers . I barely acknowledge that the Rangers were not using their powers for most of the instalment since all the fighting were so awful . “ Movie Madness ” is a love varsity letter toPower Rangersthat highlights what the show does serious .

Time Forceis a fan - favoritePower Rangersseason , and “ Movie Madness ” is a nifty example of why .

Many of the legal action sequences featured the primary cast doing their own stunts , which was also noteworthy . By the time “ Movie Madness ” come back toSentaifootage to show the giant monster and the Megazords , I like it had spent even more fourth dimension with the Rangers unmorphed . Time Forceis a fan - favoritePower Rangersseason , and “ Movie Madness ” is a great example of why . Silly and weirdPower Rangersstorylines were nothing new , butTime Forcewould often make the most of its weekly premises with great episodes .
