For those who missed it, Adrian Carr – director of a number of early Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes, including the first – had recently released his original cut of “Day Of The Dumpster.” And it’s an interesting curiosity piece if nothing else that includes a new Youth Center scene (that was only seen once ages ago at one of the very first Power Morphicons), a different morphing sequence, and even a different Megazord battle featuring a monster that wouldn’t make a “proper” appearance on the show until one of the later episodes.
It’s an interesting piece of business that serves as that middle step between the original pilot episode and the eventual final product… and if nothing else, any time there is new footage released that hasn’t been seen before is always something to be cherished. The bit in question may have been seen at a convention ages ago, but now many more can check this out. It’s worth a look to see what could have been.
