In the “Diversity Of Power” clip, Haim Saban talks about how the Rangers came to be outside of Japan (via Power Rangers NOW).
“The show in Japan has been going on in Japan close to 40 years now. I bought the rights for the show worldwide outside of Asia and I thought well when they have masks on them you can’t tell if they’re Asian or Caucasian, so we decided to do what I think was one of the first multi-ethnic show. Superheroes, superhero girls and it just hit a chord.”
The full feature will be available on the Blu-ray set, and you can find the description for that below. You can find the full clip above.
The action-packed, coming of age feature film Saban‘s Power Rangers will morph onto Digital HD June 13 and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital HD), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD and On Demand June 27 from Lionsgate.
