That whole thing is BS. They didn’t even realized what happened until they were filming. The Trini from the Bioman pilot was white and the original trini from The Day of the dumpster pilot was hispanic. In the Bioman Pilot Zack was played by a black actor, but he was a green ranger not black.
I knew all these, though the first one never crossed my mind, but it makes sense that they would just get raw footage. It’s obvious with the newer ones, especially Samurai that’s a near shot for shot remake of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, that they have translated episodes.
Number 4 seems like a big maybe. The way Frank talked about Haim Saban at last years Dallas Comic con it seems like it might an up hill battle that Saban would want control and want to put his people in charge. The thing is Does Saban even want to do a Pg-13 green ranger movie? He could give Frank the rights but Frank Suggested that Saban would want control.
Number 7 may not be completely true. Its true Cranston did voice 2 MotWs, but whether Billy is named after him is debatable. According to Cranston he is, however there’s evidence the name goes back to at least 1992 if not further. On the season 1-3 DVD there is a promo dated 1992 Called Galaxy Rangers Billy is of course named Cranston. Power rangers didn’t start production until mid 1993. looking at this footage there’s evidence that this is footage used for a Choudenshi Bioman pilot. It appears Saban took footage shot for a Bioman Pilot and took out Choudenshi Bioman footage and subbed for Kyouryu Sentai Zyuranger. In the civilian footage Zach is listed as a green ranger and the ranger powers are listed as Biorythms suggesting Bioman which had a green not black ranger like Zyuranger had. Also two of the actors Victor Lee played by Mark Dacascos and Zach Taylor played by Miquel Nunez Jr have confirmed their involvement in a Bioman Pilot but get this Dacascos put’s the date at 1986, 7 years before Power Rangers would air. Meaning the name Billy Cranston dates back further than originally thought.
Why would Bryan Cranston say Billy is named after him? Perhaps he may be mistaken (or maybe Saban led him to believe that) The name Cranston is never mentioned on the show and only appears on later promotional items. So unless Cranston knew Saban back in 1986 this might be coincidence.
