So they really just did voiceover work for all the action stuff and then did acting for like 8 minutes of each episode? Can't imagine they got paid much for that.

So they really just did voiceover work for all the action stuff and then did acting for like 8 minutes of each episode? Even in the first season like half of each episode was unmorphed footage which had to be shot specifically for PR. And even then there was plenty of morphed footage original to PR, hence the foil Dragon Shield and other lower quality American costumes for the monsters and such. And season 2 started a gradual shift to film more and more of each episode in America rather than pulling from Sentai, especially since Zedd himself is entirely exclusive to PR. Most morphed footage at this point was "Zyu2" which was still filmed in Japan even though it was PR exclusive, but by season 3 they started filming even that in America. Tired-Insomniac posted... Maybe the movie paid them better though. Pretty sure they ripped off the actors even for the movie. Saban was (and probably still is) just pretty fucking garbage. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera https://signavatar.com/26999_s.png <cite>BLAKUboy posted [p:938593433] in How much w...

So_Hajile 05/04/20 1:59:32 PM #14:	These are taken from here: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/ neardeath-homophobia-and-pay-disputes-trouble-on-the- power-rangers-set/news-story/0a1728f83cce0162b0d1b5173766a282 Red Ranger Jason, played by Austin St. John; Black Ranger Zack, played by Walter Emmanuel Jones, and Yellow Ranger Trini, aka Thuy Thang, all walked over a pay dispute. Despite the shows massive success, the actors were only earning $600 an episode. None of the kids had agents. Things got so dire that, when a resolution couldnt be met, all three actors were actually replaced midway through a two-part episode. In that same interview, he (Austin St. John) explains how the cast were worked hard for minimum pay. We worked around the damn clock. We worked long, long hard hours on a non-union show. And well just never be paid what we should have been paid. Despite the hard times on set, actor Amy Jo Johnson thanked Haim Saban in an open letter published last year in Variety. I wanted to take this opportunity to finally thank you for allowing me to be your original Pink Power Ranger, she wrote. Now, despite the fact that this was a non-union television series and I was paid peanuts and almost died a few times because of the makeshift low-budget stunts we performed, I am forever grateful. And from a different source: https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/20/original-mighty-morphin-power-rangers-untold-stories-25-years-later/ ST. JOHN: We filmed so hard and fast for the first year. Monday through Friday, filming, it was dark when we got in, it was dark when we left. Saturday was when we were called to do voiceover. Sunday I was usually so tired, all I would do was hit the gym to train, and then go back home and relax. I didnt go out for almost a year. We finally got a week off for Christmas at the end of the year. I slept for a day to try and get my energy back. At 19 you shouldnt have to do that, you know? JOHNSON: I had to learn a lot because I had never been on a set really before. And we worked long hours, even though we were shooting 15 minutes of the show, we shot a lot of episodes. It was quite a grueling show, but at the same time we were all so young. Halfway through the shows second season, after more than 80 episodes, Trang, Jones, and St. John became the first original cast members to leave the series (most of the cast say nonunion pay was a major factor in their departures). Basically, it was the first job for most so it was more of a learning experience than anything they were taking to get rich. It was also a nonunion show, which means they weren't even receiving SAG base pay. Nonunion pay could go from $80 to a little over $100 today. During the early 90's, it was likely less. --- Reading up on the Bat-Family: https://bit.ly/2Us5RhG <cite>So_Hajile posted [p:938594705] in How much w...

The actor stopped showing up so they put on some old guy and claimed Billy got some weird disease that turned him old. They sent "Old Billy" to the Alien Ranger planet to heal.
