If you're five to eight years old, get with some of your buddies, eat two bowls of Fruity Pebbles, scarf three packets of Pop Rocks, and snap your synapses into Power-Ranger Elysium with Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. If you're a parent and you don't know a Zord from a Zordon, get ready for one and a half hours (yep, one and a half hours) of enough mass marketing and mindless mayhem to destroy any resistance to the overt "buy this toy" messages contained therein. The evil Divatox, a busty space "piratess," kidnaps two former Power Rangers and it's up to the new Rangers to save their friends from becoming human sacrifices to an evil monster. The Rangers' leader, Zordon (who thinks up these names?), gives the new crew added "turbo" powers and presents them with their new Zords--turbo-powered cars. What's never explained is why there are former Power Rangers: do they get drummed out for not morphing (or morphing too much), or do the Rangers maintain the same policy as the once-famous Latino pop band, Menudo (replacing members once they get too old). There's an inordinate amount of the fake kung-fu kicking that made the TV show popular, and the villains are grotesque; but they're just shrieking punching bags. But the thought that Turbo is basically "the next generation" of Power Rangers is enough send chills up any parent's back. That's why kids love them so. --Keith Simanton

Product Description

The evil space alien Divatox plans to unleash the dark forces of Maligore, a powerful, fiery creature imprisoned inside a volcano on the magical island of Nuiranthias. She can reach the island only by traveling through the dangerous Nemesis Triangle, and for that she needs the special powers of the magician Lerigot. But Lerigot flees to earth, seeking the only people who can stand against Divatox and her plan the Power Rangers. Along with the new Blue Ranger, their turbo powered Zords, and the unexpected help of the original Power Rangers set out on their most thrilling and dangerous adventure yet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Power Rangers Rule!!!!!, May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Turbo: Power Rangers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the best Power Rangers moview ever. I can understand why the person who reviewed this gave it such a review, though. This movie is intended for fans of the show, which, by his lack of Power Ranger info, he is not. If he was, he'd know why Jason and Kim aren't Rangers.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Cheesy, Overacted Martial Arts Fun, This Movie ROCKS!, December 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Turbo: Power Rangers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you are a fan of the show, this movie has a lot going for it. The original Rangers, Jason and Kimberly, are back. Since I don't care for the new series, I really enjoyed seeing Austin St. John again for his martial arts skill and trademark over-acting prowess that made the original series so fun to watch. The very pretty Amy Jo Johnson makes this movie easy on the eyes, and the rest of the fun, cheesy story, along with the comically fun characters round out this movie in an awesome way. If you don't care for Power Rangers and you don't enjoy a lot of Nacho Cheese, this movie probably isn't for you. But if you're into the Japanese rubber suit sci-fi superhero shows, you'll get a kick out of America's take on this genre.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a Good movie but it's best if you rent it, September 4, 2004

Dylan S. "Dylan" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turbo: Power Rangers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got this movie not too long ago and it's a good movie no doubt about that. But right now it's just on a shelf collecting dust because for me I already saw it like 3 times after that you know what it's about and dont bother watching it.

Unless you're a hardcore fan of this movie and you really want to own this movie then you should get it. But thats how I felt that I really wanted to get this movie, but it turned out to be a waste of money as time passed because it's just in the video shelf for soo many years getting dusty.

I recommend you rent this movie from Block Buster or any other video rental store because after some time you will not bother watching it and the video will just be left on a shelf or some thing.

One video I would recommend is the Power Rangers in Space Video that one is worth buying because that video has taken the Physco ranger series and made a mini movie out of all the episodes and it's fun to watch for every one

Just to sum up every thing above, Rent it, dont bother buying it save you're money for the Power Rangers in Space Video or the Best of Power Rangers Ultimate Rangers DVD, because they are going to be way more fun and you'll end up wathcing it more frequently and not get bored of it.
