1. Power Rangers Zeo
took its footage from the Sentai
OhRanger. It was the first Power Ranger season to not splice
difference sentai series' together. This tradtion would
endure to this day. American footage was still used greatly. Zeo was
Power Rangers second incarnation. It was hoped that Zeo would bring the
show back to fad status. It would would fail to do so. Ratings would
continue to be low as well as toy sales.
2. There was a long running rumor in the fandom that the
turbo movie was
actually shot in between Zeo season 1 and zeo season. The whole
rumor was later proven false. The turbo movie was shot after Jason's
return, aparently.
3. Orginaly Jason David Frank wanted to leave the show
during Zeo. He
was convinced to stay through Turbo Season 1.
4. Orginally Brad Hawkings was going to play the role
of the Gold
Ranger. He was going to repise the role of Ryan Steele from the VR
Troopers series. But Austin St John expressed interest in reprising
his role as Jason Scott. The Gold Ranger storyline was rewritten and
Brad Hawkings was dropped. He was asked and agreed to do the ADR work
for early Gold Ranger episodes. Thats why you will hear the
actor's vioce when Trey ( the first gold ranger) is morphed.
5. David Yost decided to leave the show because
he didn't agree
with the direction his character was going in. His suddan depature
forced the writers to come up wth a storyline to age the charater so a
differenct actor could play him ( just until they solved the character'
sage problem and wrote him off). A new character wasn;t needed to
replace Billy since the character had already stepped down
as a Ranger. Contray to past rumors Yost was never offically
written into the Turbo movie. He had already left by the tine it was
written. It remains to be seen just wnat Billy's secret project was
during the Gold Ranger's intro episodes.
6. Zeo was the first Power Rangers season to use
footage from the
Sentai's team up episode. The Zeo Rangers teamed up with the Alien
Rangers ( who where Kukuranger's actual protaginists). This
tradtion would be renewed in Lost Galaxy when two seasons of
Power Rangers would meet.
7. Prince Gasket was vioced by than Story Editor
Doug Sloan. In
the sentai the Gasket counterpart was the older verison of the
Sprocket counter part. In Zeo he was merely Sprocket's older brother.
8. A fan made production called Scorpion Rain was
Produced to bridge the gap between Zeo and Turbo. In the fan film Tommy
and Kat
used zeo zord five to battle Zedd's Suprenterra. Later one of the
fans invovled ( Amit Bhaumik) would become the Story Editor of Wild
Force. He considered Scoripoin Rain Canon and even used it as the back
story for the Red Ranger team up episode known as Forever Red.
