Lionsgate’s big screen reboot of the Power Rangers franchise contained tons of nods and throwbacks to the original television series that made fans out of entire generation. But even though original actors Amy Jo Johnson and Jason David Frank made minor cameos in the film, the fans were slightly disappointed that they were underused.

And Tommy didn’t even have long hair like he does in the TV show! Psshh.
Ever since the Green Ranger actor revealed there was another filmed scene that was cut from the movie, fans have been clamoring to see it. Ahead of the home video release, Lionsgate has provided ComicBook.com with a featurette where the cast talks about the legacy of the original Rangers.
The clip also contains the original cut scene with Frank and Johnson, while the two actors reveal their thoughts about the new movie. Watch the video above!
“As long as it fits the brand, I’m excited for the fans to have something like this happen – even if I’m not part of it,” Frank said on the set. “It’s sure exciting to see that, that’s what I’m more excited about.”
The cut cameo clip reveals the original Kimberly and Tommy (with long hair!!!) sitting in a coffee shop, both wearing their traditional pink and green colors respectively.
The two actors were also given a tour of the set, interacting with the filmmakers and new cast members. It’s awesome to see the new movie respecting the history and legacy of the franchise, and we hope to see even more of the original Rangers have a greater involvement should they get the chance to make a sequel.
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.
