In approximately 10,007 B.C., a 2,000 year battle contended between the forces
of good and evil, until Rita trapped Zordon in an interdimensional time warp
through a false truce. As a last-ditch effort, Zordon concentrated his powers
into a powerful dumpster-bin that sucked Rita and her chief fighting force into
it which crashed on the dark side of the moon which remained there until an
unauthorized shuttle(!?) mission to the moon resulted in two astronauts
accidentally releasing her and her vengeful ways on the earth until Zordon
discovered this. (See section 3.8.)
Rita Repulsa is the "Americanized" version of Bandra [pronounced: Bandora] which originated from the Japanese sentai television series known as "ZyuRanger" (pronounced: Joo Ranger) which means Beast Ranger. Local rumors that shortly died out that the original actress had passed away. This, however, is not the case. Soga Machiko, who acted as Bandra in the "ZyuRanger" series, did film new footage for Saban in the second season ["The Mutiny," Part I-III & "When is a Ranger Not a Ranger"] until the episode "The Wedding" when Finster administered a make-over. Rita is now performed by Carla Perez with Barbara Goodson, still, doing the voice-overs. The number-one benefit of U.S. production of Rita's scenes is that the words match up with her lips and the video editors don't have to splice various clips from several "ZyuRanger" episodes.
Interestingly, Julia Cortez portrays Rita Repulsa in the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie".
The reason for the new footage and not the consistent recycling of the old film clips (that Haim Saban mentioned in an interview with T.V. Guide they had more than enough of) is because they have no film of Rita and Lord Zedd together because Lord Zedd did not come from "ZyuRanger" and is a completely American production of Saban Entertainment. Rita Repulsa's voice is performed by Barbara Goodson.
The most powerful and unbeatable monster, Goldar served as Rita's back-up
warrior and now Lord Zedd's assistant. Goldar is a winged mutant gorilla
empowered by a magic sword.
Goldar's voice was performed Ryan O'Flannigan, who also lends spare voices for Saban's 1994 production, "V.R. Troopers." However, with the second season episode "Best Man for the Job," O'Flannigan was later listed as Kerrigan Mehan (also the voice of Jeb the Dog in VR Troopers). In ZYURANGER, Goldar's name is Garifuooza.
Finster's voice is performed by Robert Axelrod, who is the same person who is the voice for Lord Zedd. In ZYURANGER, Finster's name was Puripurican.
The voice of Baboo is performed by David Mallow, a.k.a., Collin Phillips, (also lending an extra voice in Saban's "V.R. Troopers" as Ballistix, Air Stryker and Toxoid.). Mallow is the man who does voices the previews for both Power Rangers and VR Troopers. He can also be heard in commercials such as Coast Soap, Bud Ice, La Quinta Inns and others. He is the voice of Dow Scrubbing Bathroom Cleaner. Mallow was born in 1949. In ZYURANGER, Baboo's name was Tottopatto.
Michael J. Sorich is the voice for Squatt, who also plays "Woody" on "V.R. Troopers" as Kaitlin's boss (editor in chief). In ZYURANGER, Squatt's name was Bukkubakku.
Wendee Swan (later listed as Wendee Day as of the third-season premeire) performs the voice of Scorpina; also most likely to had played a guest-starring role on "V.R. Troopers" as "Amy" in its first-season finale: "The Rise of the Red Python." She disappeared, with no explanation (similarly to Titanus) from the series shortly before the end of the first season until the second season episode "Goldar's Vice Versa" in which Adam (the current Black Ranger) is taken by surprise when his romantic interest (Sabrina) is in actuality Scorpina. Since then, though, she has never reappeared for the rest of the season
Extremely dissatisfied with Rita's inability to defeat mere earth beings with
special powers, Lord Zedd (who has been ruling in another dark region of the
galaxy) has come to the moon and took control starting with the re-imprisonment
of Rita in her dumpster, this time, he made it more difficult for her to be
released by shrinking her and her dumpster and jettisoning the both shrunken
objects into space. Lord Zedd has the power to take anything and mutate it
into a real life monsters; he can also see any location with his powerful
vision.
Lord Zedd was introduced to keep the viewers interest in the series alive, usually, when a theme runs for so long, the kids begin to catch on and move on. So, Saban went through the expense of building sets, using more special effects and creating new costumes to put together an all U.S. production of the bad guys. Robert Axelrod is the voice of Lord Zedd--who is the voice of Finster.
Zordon, trapped in an interdimensional time-warp, discovered Rita's
reappearance and required someone in the real-world to combat her evil forces
approaching the earth. Alpha 5, reluctantly, summoned the teenagers to morph
into action and hold back her forces. Zordon is in touch with the morphing
grid to sense trouble on the rise.
The face of Zordon is David Fielding, also providing for the voice of the character. The last ``batch'' of first season episodes (post "Crystal of Nightmares" episodes--including that episode) were performed by Bob Manahan. The effects of Zordon's face is achieved through green screening at a Studio in Burbank called Movie VideoFilm.
Manahan used a device called an Eventide H-3000 UltraHarmonizer to pitch his voice down -.937% of normal and also added unpitched room reverb to the signal though his voice is naturally low.
Because of a family emergency, David Fielding had to return to the east coast and since Manahan had a voice very close to his, he was chosen to be the Zordon after the first 20 episodes. Before working for Saban, he was on the sound production team of the heavy metal band Iron Maden. Manahan recently recieved an award for best sound technition for CBS's "Beakman's World."
Bob no longer works at Modern Film Video and produces all Zordon recordings with an ADR Director; he now works at Sony. Other original sound editors for the show have moved on as well. Ken Kobett now works on NBC's "Mad About You" (for which he received an Emmy nomination) and Doug Latislaw now works on VR Troopers and also Masked Rider.
Bob Manahan was born in 1957.
A fully sentient, multi-functional, automaton with an unusually human-like personality replete with emotions, he is the guardian and operator of the Command Center and personal friend of Billy's.
Romy J. Sharf is the 28 year old actress that played Alpha 5 for the first season and later was was portrayed by Sandi Sellner in the second season; both of whom cannot see while within the costume. The voice of Alpha 5 is performed by Richard Wood.

This Zord was subsequently replaced by the Unicorn ThunderZord which serves the same purpose. The Unicorn ThunderZord has the power of anti-gravity levitation.
Due to the great attack on earth from the unearthed villain, Ivan Ooze, Billy (like the other Rangers) had received the Ninjetti--and with these new powers comes the Blue Ninja Wolf Zord.

In Battle Mode, Red Dragon can engage a battle in Assault Mode with Lion, Unicorn, Griffin and FireBird serving as a platform.

After the morphing grid was overloaded and destroyed in the movie, he; along with the other Power Rangers had to travel to Phaedos to receive new powers and subsequently assumed the power of the Ninja Ape Zord (right arm to NinjaMegaZord).

Katherine, preferably called and nicknamed "Kat," transfered to Angel Grove Highschool, however, Rita decided to use her evil magic to turn her into a spy under the guise of a female cat which Aisha (whom was volunteering at the Animal Shelter) decided to care for and call P.C. (Park Cat). Due to various events out lined in A Ranger Catastrophe, Changing of the Zords, and A Different Shade of Pink, Kat not only broke free of the spell, but became the New Pink Ranger! She co-pilots the White ShogunZord along side Tommy, however, her own Zord is the Pink NinjaZord.
Information from "TV Week" in Austrailia:
Catherine Sutherland, our Australian 172cm Blonde will be the new Pink
Ranger. She initially auditioned for the position of "Dulcea" in MMPRM but
lost out to her (known to her) friend Gabrielle Fitzpatrick. The Prioducers
were happy and when they had open calls for the new PR position she went for
it and surprisingly got it.
She admits to "fudging" her martial arts expertise at the audition (so whats new?.. Ed)- so this may indicate what is to come in fighting ability..
Catherine is 21 years old and is into dancing, singing, modelling and of course, acting. Her position as Pink Ranger will carry into the next "Power Rangers Movie" which has been reported to be slated to commence preproduction in April 1996 in California. (location of filming unknown...Sydney twice lucky? lets hope so.. ears are out on the vine stronger than ever...). No other news on the movie sequel at this stage, other than there has been a confirmation that it WILL happen next year. A Producer and Director have not yet been hired. I cannot yet confirm if FOX is stil involved, either.
Catherine had a few hassles getting a US Working Visa however it's sorted out and she's been in production in LA since October.
Ernie is played by Richard Genelle.
The writers, calling themselves fixing this, gave them something to occupy more useless time by sending them on a pursuit to discover the true identities of the Power Rangers begining with the second season episode "The Mutiny," Part 1. The sheer stupidity of their lines make poor use of what ever previous acting experience they might have ever had before.
Paul Schrier (``Bulk'') was born on June 1st, 1970 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Schrier began studying acting in high school at the age of 16, and continued his training through various advanced acting courses until he joined a prominent Los Angeles theater company, The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. At the company, he took a particularly keen interest in the works of Shakespeare. He then embarked on a career as a commercial actor, before joining the cast of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers®" He makes his motion picture debut in 20th Century Fox's "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie."
Jason Narvy (``Skull'') born and raised in Los Angeles in 1975, he gained his initial acting training and experience by directing and performing in several high school productions. After graduation, he joined the Cabrillo Music Theatre and, later, the Young Artists Ensamble, where he directed a production of "Hamlet." Narvy is also a member of the International Thespian Society.
Additionally, in Part 1 of "Doomsday," Angela states that if Zack were a Power Ranger, she'd date him.
In "Lions and Blizzards," Zack and Angela are on opposite teams competing at the Oddball Games. However, just as he proclaims that he is no longer in hot pursuit of women, Angela approaches Zack for a date. They do go to the movies but Zack is called into action which causes him to leave in the midst of the movie; he returns after his battle--however, Angela leaves him.
To impress Angela (in the episode "Fowl Play"), Zack put on a magic show to entertain some children at the Youth Center. However, again, he is called into action. The results aren't as detrimental to his relationship, however, as he disguises his absence as a magic trick which Bulk and Skull conveniently are "able" to undo once Zack's battle is over.
As the central plot in the episode "An Oyster Stew" Zack attempts to locate the perfect birthday gift for Angela and decides on pearl earrings. Due to the fact that the legitimate pearls at the jewelry store were out of his budget, he purchases a pair of pearls from a Putty disguised as a suspicious street salesman. When Zack and Tommy were called into action, Kimberly encouraged Angela to try on the earrings, however, those pearls were the Pearls of Stillness, suspending everything in motion in close proximity. Things don't look good as when the Oysterizer is temporarily defeated in a short combat, the effects wear off but again, Angela dumps Zack. By the end of the episode, Zack finally wins her heart with a song (see section 7.3 for lyrics) and learns money isn't the only way to a girl's affections.
Angela does not reappear after this episode. There is currently no information about the actress who portrays Angela.
Curtis came from St. Louis, MO. in the episode "Green No More, Part 1". In "Orchestral Maneuvers In The Park,", Zack's so-called famous Uncle's trumpet was stolen by a Putty to become one of Zedd's monsters after a concert in which Curtis played the trumpet. He is a hip-hop dancer and cousin to Zack.
Mysteriously, Curtis also disappeared from the guest cast roster as per Zack's leaving for the Peace Conference in Switzerland.
This blue figure is Ninjor, the keeper of the temple that held the powers
coined from the original morphing masters. He bestowed the new Ninjetti powers
upon the rangers in "Ninja Quest" and gained new Animal
NinjaZords in the process.
If needed, he can be called into action by the Rangers and even Grow to become the size of the Mega NinjaZord to fight side by side to triumph against evil.
Ninjaman is this robot's name in Kakuranger, the show from which this character originated.
