The film’s antagonist Ivan Ooze is all kinds of gross with his purple complexion, pointed facial features and general sliminess. 6000 years later, construction workers accidentally uncover his concealed tomb and, with a little help from Lord Zedd and Repulsa, Ooze is brought back to life to once again wreak havok across Earth.Įveryone loves a baddie and they don’t come much creepier than this guy. Once running the world with an iron fist and spreading evil throughout, killing everything around him, Ivan Ooze was pretty much an unstoppable force, that is until Zordan of Eltar and his then-team of Power Rangers managed to subdue and trap Ooze in a giant egg before burying him deep underground never to be released. Instead, an all-powerful ancient evil know as Ivan Ooze is unleashed upon the human race. In 1995’s MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS:THE MOVIE, Repulsa and series 2 bad guy Lord Zedd are no longer a terrifying force having failed repeatedly to destroy Zordon and the Rangers. In many of the episodes, the Power Rangers would do battle with Rita Repulsa, her sidekick Goldar and her Putties – grey minions who would appear in large numbers to fight the teens. This 1995 movie became a continuation of the series with the characters already established by the television show and became one of the most anticipated movies of the mid 90’s for any kickass kid growing up around that time.Īs most of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television episodes only lasted 30 minutes, there was never enough time to fully invest in a story which is where the feature film manages to spread its wings, introducing a threat to the Earth that fans around the globe hadn’t yet seen. However, once that plot thread ran its course and Tommy was free of Repulsa’s grasp, he ended up becoming the White Ranger and the new leader of the Power Rangers. The programme also received a new addition to the group, sixth ranger Tommy Oliver, who was initially introduced to defeat the Power Rangers as the Green Ranger under the spell of Rita Repulsa. Each of the five teenagers were assigned specific coloured Ranger roles but as the series developed, a few of the characters left thus the identity of the Rangers changed. This Megazord could rival any villainous giant Repulsa or Zedd would throw at them and would battle and defeat various enemies at the end of every television episode. The Power Rangers could usually battle their foes with ease using their Zords but when confronted by towering enemies, of which there were many, each individual Zord would come together to make one giant Zord called a Megazord. The Rangers are brought together to fight evil, namely Lord Zedd, the cruel Rita Repulsa and her minions, using mad martial arts skills, enhanced by their Ranger powers, and the use of pre-historic animal-themed Zords (robot machines). A simple yet exhilerating premise for kids everywhere, the series revolved around five average teenagers from the American town of Angel Grove who are chosen to become Power Rangers by the kindly extraterrestrial-being Zordon and his trusty assistant robot Alpha 5. With the guitar-shredding licks as orchestrated by synth whizz, composer Ron Wasserman, used as the theme tune, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the must-watch television programme for kids of the 90’s. After Ooze destroys the Power Rangers’ Command Centre, Zordon’s robot assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to a distant planet in order to retrieve a special power, the only thing that will be able to stop the wicked Ooze. With an intent on spreading evil throughout the Earth using the parents of Angel Grove to do his dirty work, Ooze proves to be the Rangers’ most fearsome villain yet. The Power Rangers must fight for all humanity when an all-powerful villain named Ivan Ooze is accidentally released 6000 years after his incarceration.
