We speak with MightyMorphinPowerRangers Once & Always stars David_Yost & walterejones about making the most of Power Rangers' 30th anniversary and honoring their fellow teammates:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, one of the original Rangers is killed protecting one of their teammates from their arch nemesis, robo-Rita Repulsa. After the tragic loss, a new Power Ranger steps up to take their place and continue the legacy.
I was just going to say both of you guys look younger than me, and I was watching you guys as a child.David Yost: You're you're way too kind. But hey, personally, there's no way we could have predicted number one back in the nineties how popular the show would become then. It was like we filmed almost the entire first season before it even started airing, so we had no real gauge of what was going to happen. Then once it started airing, it took off like fire.
I remember us all gathering and sitting in the giant rocking chair together and being on the plane and falling asleep. I think I have pictures of everybody knocked out, which I've never shown. But we took walks in the snow and Central Park and made snowmen and snow angels. That was just one of those moments that was out of the show, but together as a family and it was amazing, it was just one of them.
David, the last time you were on the show as Power Ranger Zeo, what was it like to portray Billy again? Was it slipping into a glove, and did it feel just as easy to put that character back on? Walter Emanuel Jones: It was amazing. Zack obviously is a character that's been renowned for the beginning of the show as a character that was created and broke ground as the first Black superhero on live action TV. The only character to have his own martial art form. It was great to be able to come back to that and let the fans see Zack again and let them know that he was alive and well and still responsible, I guess working as a congressman, still working to help people in the community.
Obviously, finding in Once & Always we find out that the original Power Rangers team has always been a Power Rangers team, they've still always been Power Rangers. I think that's exciting to know anytime there's a call to action, that core six has always been stepping up to the plate. [inaudible 00:09:02].
Walter Emanuel Jones: Well, coming back has always been something I wanted to do, but unfortunately the show had been nonunion. The fact that this was finally a union show made it easy for me to be like, "Yes, I want to come back. I need my character to be explained, they need to know what Zack's been doing and where he is at.
Also, the way that she played off the both of you where she says a line to you, David, and you look away and that remorse that your character has? Incredible job. Walter, can you talk to me about working with Charlie and getting the emotional tone right for this? Because like you said, this is for adults like me, but kids are going to be able to relate to this as well.
Walter Emanuel Jones: It took some planning and some rehearsal, but I did some training before I went, I was in the gym, I was working on my kicks, I was working on my punches, my fluidity. I can't say that it didn't hurt some, but I'm capable of doing a lot of things that I was able to do before. I still got skills. My fluidity is uncommon.
Towards the end of the special, I started tearing up because there's a great tribute that happens at the end of this. I just was curious if you guys would be willing to share any stories about Thuy and JDF? Simply, they were phenomenal as rangers, but they were great people as well. I never had a chance to meet Thuy, I always wanted to. But can you share any stories about them?
I really wish Thuy could have been with us through all these years to experience the fandom and experience what an impact she has had on so many people's lives. I'm glad that at the end of the special, they do show that video and it does honor them both. I think it couldn't be a more appropriate way to honor the two of them.
