That, in fact, the aired version was mostly made of that supposedly lost footage.
End of the discussion, right?
For instance, the earthquake scene when the Rangers teleport for the first time?
Different in this version, contrary to what we suspected.
(For those wondering, Carr confirmed his upload had nothing to do with our earlier article.
Its the biggest coincidence known to mankind, he laughs.)
In particular, they didnt want the violence to be as heavy.
The pilot episode had soon-to-be Ranger teens get into an extended fight sequence with a gang of bullies.
This kind of full human-on-human fight contact was rare in the series to come.
Its always the bullies outsmarting themselves, Carr explains.
(The Rangers) dodge the bullies.
The bullies connect with each other.
Everything in that fight sequence at the Juice Bar, you could liken it to vintage physical comedy.
Billys not a fighter, explains Carr.
Hes the one who thinks the alternate way of not having to fight their way out of things.
Hes more scientifically motivated and oriented.
Thats why he ducks under them when the two guys punch each other.
These were all the subtle differences in the characters that we were setting up in that one scene.
Carr believes his version of the scenes in the Juice Bar flow much smoother than the reshoots.
The flow of it, the information (in the aired version) is jarring.
It doesnt lead you through.
The changes to the Putty fight are also a sore spot for Carr.
On a casual watch both versions of the fight look the same but on careful examination?
As Carr remembers, it was the introduction to these characters so lets go for broke.
This monster would later be used in season 1 ofPower Rangersas Goatan.
I know nothing of it.
Not all of Carrs work was completely removed or heavily edited from the final aired version.
I think we did it twice.
It was one of the most natural things when they all do it.
They all did it together and you just knew there was a moment there.
I always felt disappointed that people are seeing this work thinking its me.
But for me it always felt half-hearted.
[What I shot] is sort of all in there but not quite.
They get the beginnings.
The biggest feeling of all for Carr though?
