Factoids & Trivia

• IMDb ID tt0106064 identifies the original television series, which ran from 1993 to 1996. It is distinct from the 1995 feature film, whose IMDb ID is tt0113820.

• The series was created as an American adaptation of the Japanese superhero production Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Japanese action footage was combined with newly filmed American scenes featuring the Rangers' civilian identities.

• Producer Haim Saban had spent years trying to interest American television executives in a Super Sentai adaptation before Fox Kids agreed to broadcast the series.

• The first season used extensive footage from all 50 episodes of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Because the Japanese footage did not always match the American story, new scenes were written and filmed to connect the action sequences.

• The show's distinctive theme song, "Go Go Power Rangers," became one of the most recognizable television themes associated with 1990s children's programming.

• The series helped establish Power Rangers as a major multimedia franchise, leading to toys, home video releases, video games, additional television series, and theatrical films.
