This video was released in selected McDonald's restaurants and was hard to get a hold of. Luckily I got one. To those who don't know this is the Power Ranger's Lightspeed Rescue/Lost Galaxy Team-up episode, "Trakeena's Revenge." I highly recommend this video. You also get two pair of 3-D glasses. However, the episode is better without them.

As being a Power Ranger fan, this Lightspeed/Galaxy Ranger crossover is all right, cut to 45 minutes-without commercials.

It's about when Leo (Red Galaxy Ranger) finds out that Trakeena is journeying to Mariner Bay to drain kids' parents of their life force energy, so that she can mutate to green and destroy the Rangers. However, a little girl named Heather escapes and notifies the Rangers of the pending situation. The plot goes as it should, along with a customary happy ending.

This "movie" gets my approval because there's fairly even acting by all ten leads. The down part is that there's bad acting by the girl that plays Heather as a weak, defenseless little girl and excessive amounts of dubbed Sentai footage added. But what's screamingly obvious is that it doesn't look like it's in 3-D!

If you love this video or Power Rangers in general, then I encourage you. If you're in for an authentic Americanized version of this popular TV series, don't buy it. If you taped it, don't trade it in for this movie.

Bad cutting and the wrong feel deducts heavily for this video. Buy "The Curse of the Cobra," and the first PRLG video if you want good PRLR videos.

Not rated, does not contain offensive material.

If you're wondering why I titled this as I did, there are two main reasons. First, Danny Slavin (Leo, the Red Galaxy Ranger) is there in person, but most of the time, his vocals are done by an outsider, for reasons unknown. Second, Amy Miller is not present in this as Trakeena. An actress by the name of Jennifer Burns portrays our favorite buggy villainess. There's an excessive amount of Sentai footage, which is cool if you're into that sort of thing. I found the video to be entertaining, but the episodes themselves could have been done better.

I love Power Ranger since I was a kid, it was nice to see the Lost Galaxy Ranger back again but the major problem is that this isn't a movie! It's an episode I saw it when they aired Lightspeed Rescue. Leo's voice is 100% different and the Lost Galaxy Morphing was different then the actual episode morphing. I was very disappointed.

Hey, guess what. TRakeena's back in 2 exciting episodes of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. She comes back to earth to suck the life energy out of a selection of people so she can mutate and be green again. It also includes the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers. It is simply awesome! You'll enjoy it too.

My boys (2 and 6 yrs) love this video. Of all the power ranger incarnations, I like Lightspeed the best. They teach a subtle morality that kids pick up on. Carter's (the red ranger) altruistic nature is so refreshing compared to most shows kids want to watch. This video is just plain fun, especially if kids are familar with both Lightspeed and Lost Galaxy Rangers.

When this video was sold at McDonalds, I didn't know about it, but I ended up getting it on eBay. It has Trakeena's Revenge parts 1, and 2 on it. Instead of Amy Miller, Trakeena is played by Jennifer Burns. At about mid-year this year McDonalds is going to sell a Time Force/ Lightspeed Rescue crossover movie. The summary on the back of this video has one wrong peace of info, Trakeena does NOT team up with Olympious, she tries to get enough energy to destroy him, and Queen Banshira. There is some really cool seens when Trakeena becomes Trazilla! People say that Jinxer isn't in this movie, but when Olympious throws the poisened dagger, it shows him standing with Vypra and Loki, when the fact is, Olympious attacked the rangers only with Vypra and Loki, the reason is Saban used Sentai seens. Triskull never does really explode when he dies, he just seems to drop dead. I would have liked it if while the rangers get thier Omega Megazords, Trazilla goes after Olympious, but that didn't happen.

Trakeena returns to earth with Triskull and his ghouls to get revenge from the Power Rangers for destroying her green insect form. The Lightspeed Rescue rangers can't handle it all, so the Galaxy Rangers travel back to earth to help them. This video was released during the 2000 McDonalds Lightspeed Promotion, though very few got it since very few were produced. It was aired on TV as a two part miniseries, Trakeena's Revenge. This video is good, but has excessive amounts of Sentai footage. Also, Trakeena is portrayed by a different actress and Leo's voice is done by Russell Lawrence since Danny Slavin didn't agree to do voice-overs. But all in all, it's still a must have for any Power Rangers fan
