Chosen by fans, the five Power Rangers episodes on this disc are a cross-section of major events from the long-running series. (Dear to the hearts of PR faithful is remembering the succession of actors and characters who have donned Ranger costumes at different times. This anthology helps.) "White Light Parts 1 & 2," from season two, finds Lord Zedd unleashing the very strange Scarlet Sentinel, and the Rangers in nervous anticipation of their new leader, the unidentified White Ranger. "Countdown to Destruction Parts 1 & 2" would probably impress Roger Corman with its budget-conscious but slick mix of stock footage, computer effects, and rapid cutting in the story of the Rangers' near-defeat battling an invasion of Earth. Another nostalgic favorite, "Wild Force: Forever Red," involves an exciting reunion of past and present Red Rangers. Wild, crazy, engrossing stuff, though special features would have been nice. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

The ultimate episode collection... not quite
It was about high time that Disney had finally released Power Ranger episodes on DVD, rather than just the direct-to-VHS approach that it did when it had first bought the franchise (including the entire Saban video library) in August 2001. I was so excited when I heard that a DVD was coming out that had eight different episodes on it, and I decided to get a copy when it came out.

THE EPISODES

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: White Light - Parts 1 & 2 ~ This 2-part episode is one of the better episodes of season two of MMPR. Lord Zedd sends down the Scarlet Sentinel, and the Power Rangers need more help to defeat the monster. Zordon and Alpha create a sixth Ranger - the White Ranger - to help defeat the Scarlet Sentinel. Entertaining, but it's not one of the best episodes.

Power Rangers In Space: Countdown to Destruction - Parts 1 & 2 ~ This 2-part episode has been begging for a DVD release ever since it first premiered in 1998. The Space Rangers face massive armies as Astronema attacks the Earth, and the Rangers are nearly defeated. This episode is the pre-9/11 cut, so that the footage that was cut out is put back in.

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: To the Tenth Power ~ Trakeena discovers the five Psycho Ranger data cards and decides to reanimate them to attack the Galaxy Rangers. Then Andros arrives with the Space Rangers to help defeat them. One of the best episodes, although inclusion of 'The Power of Pink' and/or 'Protect the Quasar Saber' would've helped those who hadn't seen 'Lost Galaxy' before.

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Trakeena's Revenge - Parts 1 & 2 ~ Trakeena comes back and plans to use stolen energy to take her revenge on the Rangers. Leo comes back with the Galaxy Rangers to help the Lightspeed Rangers defeat Trakeena, leading to predictable results. This episode doesn't deserve the DVD treatment, as 'Lightspeed' wasn't one of the better shows out there, and this episode is no exception.

Power Rangers Wild Force: Forever Red ~ Five remaining Machine Empire generals have discovered Serpenterra buried on the surface of the moon. Cole must reunite with the rest of the Red Rangers (including Tommy and Jason) to help defeat the generals and save the Earth. Quick-paced episode has some annoying plot holes, unconvincing CGI effects, and an unsatisfying ending. A 2-part episode would've fared a lot better, but the episode is still good. Jason Narvy and Paul Schrier briefly reprise their roles as Bulk and Skull, and 3 PR alums voice three of the generals (Archie Kao, Catherine Sutherland, Walter St. Jones).

OVERALL QUALITY:

All the episodes are presented in their original 1.33:1 full-screen ratio. The picture quality for the episodes is excellent for the most part, save for some grain and specks in 'White Light' and 'Countdown to Destruction'. The audio quality is nearly perfect. Aside it from being a Dolby Digital 2.0 mix, the background sounds, music and dialogue come out quite nicely for a 2.0 mix.

Aside from an English subtitle option and ads for the CD and the first two PRWF tapes, the extras here are nonexistent. And what's worst, the episodes don't have chapter stops in them, so that you can't access a particular scene, go to the second part of the episode (like in 'White Light'), skip the opening credits, or go to the ending credits - in order to do that, you have to fast forward through the episode. You have 2 ways you can watch the episodes - either you can watch all the episodes together in a movie-like format (here the episodes are chapters), or you can view them each separately.

The DVD is the bare minimum: the episodes and nothing else. Also, Disney has failed to make even an animated menu for the DVD... the menu is basically the DVD cover. Aside from a neat collector's edition mini poster included with the DVD, there's no extras to peruse through on the DVD itself. And about 2 more episodes could've been added, such as 'The Power of Pink' and/or 'Protect the Quasar Saber' (considering the 158 minute running time), or a 2-disc set would be better.

Overall, the audio and picture quality of all the episodes are good, and the mini-poster is a nice one, but I really would've appreciated some effort in the extras department. If you love any or all of these episodes (and have a DVD player), this DVD is a must. Just don't expect anything more.

This is only the beginning....I hope
I was soo glad when I heard that this DVD was coming out. I am hoping that there have been enough sales, so we can all convince Disney to re-release all of the episodes, not just the new ones. For those of you who were fans from the beginning, like me, this DVD is the one to buy.

Better than you might expect...
I pretty much bought this DVD on a whim. I didn't really expect to enjoy it all that much since I had only ever really gotten into the original "Mighty Morphin" version of the series. However, with the exception of the "Lightspeed Rescue" episode "Trakeena's Revenge Parts 1 & 2", this DVD was, if not excellent, then certainly way above average from what most non-fans, casual viewers may expect.
Certainly, of the selections on the DVD the standout has to be "Countdown to Destruction Parts 1 & 2" from "Power Rangers in Space". These episodes, spliced together into one, as they are presented on this disk, make for an extremely surprisingly enjoyable low-budget (I'd say semi-reminiscent of Roger Corman's work) sci-fi, alien invasion film. Above that, though, the story has a great deal of emotional weight to it, with the sacrifice Zordon makes, along with the interactions between Andros and Astronema, among many other examples that I could mention (but won't for the sake of those who have yet to see it). I will admit that I found myself weeping a little from it by the end.
I also really enjoyed the installments of "Lost Galaxy", and "Wild Force", specifically "To The Tenth Power" and "Forever Red" respectively.
Sadly, though, I feel they dropped the ball as to the best of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". If it had been me, I would have put the "Space", "Lost Galaxy", "Lightspeed Rescue", and "Wild Force" episodes on the other side of the disk, and filled side 1 with the five part "Green With Evil" saga, which introduced Tommy as the Green Ranger.
Overall, though, this is a very surprisingly good DVD, that I recommend you give at least one viewing to.

Making a change
This is really a good DVD. The only thing I would perfer is that they used the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episode "Return of the Green Ranger Parts 1, 2 and 3" instead of White Light. I would have gotten it purchased if it had that episode.

Power Rangers....an amazing show!
Power Rangers is an amazing show, and has affected many people in very positive ways. Now that many of the original power ranger viewers are entering young adulthood, and taking their love for the power rangers with them, I'm sure this show will only grow bigger in popularity. Their are many good episode choices in this DVD including 'countdown to destruction' and definitly 'Forever Red'. While the dvd is low on extras it is still a pretty good DVD. I highly recommend it! (I obviously love the show.) ... Read more

TIG OL BITTYS (Think about it)
Pam gets naked. Nuff said.

One of the best
This movie was good because Pam was in it, it has a few good scenes in it, but overall it was pretty good. It shows a few good and steamy pam scenes in it, there are a few good riding scenes and some good sex scenes, but over all a good flick

The 2 stars are for Pam's body
This movie is very bad. If not for a very young, often nude Pam Anderson, it would be a total waste of time.

A Must See!
This movie had me on the edge of my seat for two hours! This action packed thriller has it all. The beautiful young hostage (played by Becky Israel) is a star in the making. I think this is the beginning of a successful career for her. ... Read more

The story is original and the movie is enough well made!

Two Lovers. One chance. No Mercy
The hills echo with explosive action when a city boy gets caught in the deadly crossfire of Trapped Country War. Driving cross-country, Ryan (Robert Estes, The Uninvited) makes a wrong turn and winds up in a backwoods hell ruled by the savage Luddiggers. Sparks fly when Ryan tries to rescue the clan's sexy ward, Lacey (Besty Russell, Avengine Angel), only to find himself a victim of their sadistic brand of justice. Aided by an embittered Vietnam Vet (Ernie Hudson, Gostbusters), Ryan must fight back with every lethal weapon in his arsenal - if he is to survive.

Oh My God!
Usually I wouldn't waste my time to write something on here that I don't think anyone will ever read, but in case you decided to here is what I think of this movie...Oh My God! I woke up at 2:00a.m. on Feb. 04, and I could not go back to sleep I was so into this movie, it kept me on the edge of my seat all night! I finally got to sleep at 4:00a.m. and I had a dream about it...LOL. Then the next day I was so upset because I was telling my friend about it at work and she asked me what the name of it was and I said "Trapper County...(someting) aaahhh! I couldn't remember the name! So I went home and I treid to look it up on the TV listings but it was the next day and I couldn't find it anywhere I was ready to give up...then 2 days later I found it..."Trapper County War"! I was so happy...that's how good this movie is! BUY IT NOW...don't waste anytime:o) ... Read more
