@@NOVSinSinga Considering how much was dropped, I find it weird that it wasn't at least 45 minutes or a two-parter at the very least. Supposedly, it was cut down to the normal running time for a number of reasons. 1. One of the most desired scenes involved Kat and Rocky returning but Sutherland was unavailable and they lost contact with Cardenas when he moved house and had to hire Austin St John at the last moment. 2. They couldn't film a big climax with all the past Megazords fighting Serpentera because Bandai America demanded that they use the Wild Force Rider in a major way (it had only appeared in its debut episode by this point by the way and was then only used in "Sealing The Nexus" before being dropped entirely). 3. The Beetleborg suits were in pretty awful shape by this point due to being about eight years old so they couldn't be used for multi-minute action packed fight scenes. 4. Tzachor didn't allow them the budget for a massive action packed thriller as the channel change from Fox to Jetix/Disney XD caused a hole to open in the show's budget. And 5. almost all of what was left from Amit's original script was just set-up for Power Rangers Hexagon which he knew was never being made after Disney bought the franchise shortly before "Forever Red" went into production. The episode's a classic but it's definitely got the worst production history of any standalone Power Rangers episode.
@@lorddrayvon1426 Actually, they did get Catherine Sutherland back. She voiced one of the Beetleborgs and did the grunts and groans, but the part with Steve Cardenas not showing up even though he wanted to come back was true (he said it himself).
@@jerelminter Sutherland is an exception in my opinion for two reasons. Namely, she was one of only four people from the MMPR era to leave under good circumstances (the others being JDF, Johnson, and Cardenas) whereas the rest left due to pay disputes, being bashed for being gay or (in the case of Bosch and Burise) fired because Saban wanted a clean slate for the second half of Turbo but they only found out when the make-up girls discussed it whilst preparing to film an episode. That musta hurt. Also another sidenote, as you said, Tesla speaks only in grunts. Much easier to record than full on dialogue and much less effort so she may have just come in for about ten minutes and left. Keep in mind that she left the show during Turbo since she was sick of the exhaustive work week which was also why Geiger, Trang and Jones asked for more money and subsequently were either fired or walked off-set since sources conflict. One other weird fun fact; Jason is the only Power Ranger in the show's history to have the same name as his actor. Austin St John is a stage name and his real name is Jason Geiger. This is probably a coincidence though since Jason's name originates all the way back to the unaired Bio-Man pilot whereas Geiger first played the character in that weird version of DOTD.
cool having to see austin st john AND jason david frank behind the scenes even if their rivalry was so-so plus seeing koichi sakamoto on the set shows that he put more effort AND work into Power Rangers unlike Jonathan Tzachor
I’m so glad JDF always made video diaries for power rangers. It shows how much he loved his role as Tommy and being with other actors on set. Rest in peace to him. Once a ranger always a ranger.
@@Karlos1234ify Let's just say that there was behind-the-scenes drama that went on between them when they were volatile young men during their MMPR days. Things were being said about each other that were not so nice, and that is just putting it lightly.
@@Karlos1234ify They may have moved on from their volatile young man days, but it is not likely that they will be über chummy with each other. As far as I am concerned.
@@ChristianJDY No (In Space rangers only appear in a few comics, they do not have a serialization like the mighty morphin ones), but at least the astro megashit is fine
@@MAYORFEDE I was never too much with the Astro megazord. But if that’s the case they didn’t even keep the astro megazord either. Because the galaxy rangers kept their ship durijng the galaxy show at least.
SELWYN WARD, THE FIRST BLACK LEADER OF THE POWER RANGERS But thanks to JDF for uploading this. By far, the best team up in Power Rangers history and when JDF and ASJ were buddies before the shit happened.
Jason=all qualities underneath apart from Tommys TJ=love him Carter=sweet Tommy=looks moody over here Andros=amazing Wes=funny Eric=handsome hunk Leo=crush on him Cole=nice BTW, they are the list if my fav red ranger to my least fav!!!
Deka Red you know what I did not realize that but you are absolutely right and even though I abhor Turbo the actors were not actually that bad. I really do think he was an effective leader and come on even when in space was on yeah Andros was the official leader but we all know who was calling the shots
Lulu Zerbe best? I'd say Jason. Jason was the first leader and there's just now way you can question him in my opinion. Then Carter. Carter was ready to sacrifice himself to save the earth. Then you have Wes would took on a whole army on his own. But everyone has opinions. That's just mine.
Chuckfan 47 I like how you had good reasons for Wes and carter and then only thing you said about Jason was he as the first. First doesn’t make you the best lol.
Just curious 🧐 is this being shot with a fish eye lense?? I noticed that it looked like it was during a couple of areas in the video. It’s a pretty common lense used by a lot of filmers and photographers. Fish eye lenses are mostly used in a lot of skateboarding edits.
alright see the first guy that came up wasn't he the guy that has been charged with murder? I don't know if he did it or not innocent until proven guilty in the United States but still it's sad to think of a Power Ranger as a murderer
R.I.P., Jason. We'll never forget your legacy in the Power Rangers world.
Ricardo Medina Jr. in happier times.
Alex Barber what a shame lol. 6 years...
***** Manslaughter. He killed one of his roomates in claimed self-defense.

Same here lol I remember getting hype from the abc family promo commercial and abc kids promo commercial ,for just 1 episode
This episode will always be in my heart.
I find it crazy that Jason is the one with a star on his shirt and everyone else just has a plain red shirt. Jason really made the episode
Even in 1999, JDF was documenting his Morphin' Life.
JonnySuite13 2002.

JonnySuite13 haha. Didnt mean to make you feel old.

Thank you JDF for such an incredible legacy. I hope you are resting easy now.
man, that patch of chest hair on Chris Khayman Lee... i think i won't be able to unsee it for quite a long time.
Same here with Sean CW Johnson wearing that hot long-sleeved red shirt. Now I want one like that.

What happened between JDF & Austin?

Adam Hovey And that's why he should have been the black ranger especially since the black ranger had as much authority as the red ranger.
Andre... plz notice me senpai DX
... with dreads! oh wait that was Brandon Jay
@@zyuranger21 Not true at all, Black Rangers do not hold as much authority as the Red Ranger. Besides, second in command has usually been Blue.
I love seeing behind the scenes of my favorite TV shows or movies. I just want to know how the crew make them work.

I loved this video! Please post more. Preferably with suit actors,& other crew members.
Love this…#RIPJDF…I’ll never forget meeting you in 2018 and 2020…You are forever missed…💔🙏🏽💐

Right? Even his voice and his long-sleeve red shirt are also badass, but to me.

Nice glad you were to film this us fans like it.

One of greatest TV moments
Nice video of filming the last scene of Forever Red. :)
Before spiderman no way home, there's power rangers forever red..
RIP JDF
Forever Red was the best crossover of the entire franchise
My Andros, GOD.
When I first saw this episode, I didn't recognize you without the long hair.
JDF has an ego the size of Serpentera
Rest in Power JDF
Jason n tommy ❤❤❤❤
OH MY GOD, CHRISTOPHER⁉️😱😵
This is so neat to see.
Rest In Power to the King
Rest in peace JDF
Cole said it best. He really is the greatest ranger ever!
Este fue el mejor episodio de toda la franquicia, tener a los 10 mejores red rangers de toda la historia
Austin S John "Jason" the best
This is so cool
So cool to see Koichi doing his thing!
Looks like Andros forgot to bring his clothes
And to work out after he finished his season. I’m not saying he looked bad. He just looked less in shape than he did during his season
Oh my God that's Tommy
gotta say even tho green and white are legands but i do miss the zeo suit
awesome stuff
I'm sorry but Andros is the best red ranger ever!! ;) can you say forever hottie?
Lulu Zerbe well I'm not a homosexual but I do agree with him being the best red ranger if it wasn't for the fact Tommy was one
Lulu Zerbe best? I'd say Jason. Jason was the first leader and there's just now way you can question him in my opinion. Then Carter. Carter was ready to sacrifice himself to save the earth. Then you have Wes would took on a whole army on his own.

He said h word bomb
Poor Brad why they kept telling him to walk away...
