Interviews
Welcome to starnews power page, we have taken the chance to talk with Jason David Frank, Austin St. John and Amy Jo Johnson. They are the most popular from the show! 6 years ago, the power started an american television, and it was extremely popular in the states and still today the power rangers story is alive. Not many television series have lived for so long! But the story is about to end next year and the new or maybe we should say old story somes back in 2002. This is the year for the release of the comeback movies! Austin and Amy, you were the oldest from the show of you three, what made the show so popular? I would say all the fun, all the action and the adventure (Austin). The same for me, many like Bulk and Skull, They where great to work with (Amy). What made Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to end? Ahh, well, Saban got loads of viewers after Green with Evil episodes, so they wanted to do something to get the older viewers, but they lost viewers instead (Amy). So, they made the second Power Ranger show, what would be more to see for the older people? Well, there would be more realistic fighting sequence, less, what older people thought, stupid (Amy). Zeo, why was it calle Zeo, and was it fun doing it? The show was called Zeo because..... I don't know really. It was an idea of a new power. And oh yes, It was great, but I didn't like the suits at all. But the cast was wonderful. But I must admit that I missed the original cast. I always had the thought of leaving in Zeo (Jason). Why didn't you? Steve got to stay, but I was glad he talked me into it. I enjoyed the cast (Jason). Why did you (Austin) leave so soon? I'm not sure you can call it soon, we make like 70 episodes/seasons. It was to hard on me. If I would have stayed a bit longer I might as well gotten an heart attack, I just wasn't used to that kind of acting (Austin). Any Amy? Good question, I don't know, I made it for 3 seasons, and I enjoyed. But I suppose it was just because of the original actors went away from the show. I need to get away. Jason, how did you feel playing evil? It was great, don't get me wrong, but I got a special feeling by playing evil. I got to do no one else could do (Jason). What was that? Well, I was able to destory the Power Rangers, I didn't wanna be good, I wanted a bad Ranger in the show. But I got used to and liked playing good later on (Jason). When I saw the show once, I noticed that Tommy & Kimberly had some romantic attraction. That's right, Shuki (creator) wanted more of if in Zeo, but Amy left just before Zeo started so, it never was any romantic stuff in the show (Jason). Have the two of you ever been romanticly involved in your real life? No, absolutely no, but I can't say I never felt anything for her. But we thought it would be best to be friends (Jason). Amy and Austin, you both came back in the latest movies from 1997, Why? Well, we want to be a part of the Power story, but not to be a ranger, and it was fun (Austin) Yeah, we got to be more our selfs (Amy) Ok, well later the Turbo show started, in '97. but it sure didn't live long. You are right. I didn't want to be continue, I felt stuck in the show. And so did the others. So we passed on our powers to the new once (Jason). Then the new show started, It was the 4th series on Power Rangers! Yes, many says it was better than any other Power Ranger show, but I never saw it (Austin). It started where Turbo leaves, but I think it's time to cancel the show (Jason). Why? Well, neither Turbo, In Space or Lost Galaxy has been doing good, so it's just a waste of money (Amy). Now a new movies is on the way, are you looking forward to it? Well I am. It was a long time ago now, and we get to be the original Rangers in new movies adventures (Austin). Shuki says he will do it right this time, but the movies is just on the paper for now (Amy). I've heard that one couple will be married on the new movies, is it true? You are looking at the new Tommy and Kimberly Oliver, heh, but that won't happen until the end. But it feels right to have some romance on the movies (Amy)! It sounds great, hope the movie will get to the Big Screen! Not that we know of, only on tape.... more like a double tape box (Jason). Well, Thank you for your time, and I wish you good luck in the movie |
