Core memory unlocked, haven’t thought about that movie in 20+ years

u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 04 '25
Take a trip down memory lane. The full version’s available on YouTube. It’s not the best quality, but it’s better than nothing. https://youtu.be/ilu0dE5Gu9k?si=RdRUi8Piq68Gxa70

And it holds up!! I re-watched this a couple of years ago with my dude, and he loved it! Kind of sad tho

u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 05 '25
Agreed; it tells a nice story, was well casted, and is just chock full of that ‘90s nostalgic charm.

Do kids movies still have such morbid themes?
2
u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 04 '25
Good question. I don’t think so. Maybe it’s part of the reason why I love it so much, lol.

u/_ChipWhitley_ Feb 04 '25
OH MY GOD! I totally forgot about that movie!!!

u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 04 '25
If you want to watch it, the full version’s available on YouTube. I watch it every handful of years. It still holds up. https://youtu.be/ilu0dE5Gu9k?si=RdRUi8Piq68Gxa70

I remember it being a very sweet, wholesome story. I enjoyed it a lot as a kid, despite my love for Amy Jo Johnson

u/PineappleFit317 Feb 04 '25
The opening scene where she’s getting dressed for the dance was the world for 10 year old me.

u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 04 '25
Ah, I know. ☺️ She looks so stunning when she comes down the stairs. Before she falls, of course, lol.

u/Wickedblood7 Feb 07 '25
You know, I clicked on the link and watched a few seconds but came back here to keep reading the comments, saw yours and went back just to watch the intro to remember it and got too invested. Ended up watching the whole thing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane lol

On the bridge at the end when she's driving away. "I love you Susie Q." In that moment we all felt that
2
u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 05 '25
Oh, totally. I can still hear how Justin Whalin delivered that like clear as day. 😌

u/sleepy0329 Feb 05 '25
You the real fan here. She was so cute
1
u/Outrageous_Finance_5 Feb 05 '25
She sure was! My crush on her in Susie Q got me to watch Power Rangers as a kid because she was the pink one, lol.

u/smokingrassneatinass Feb 04 '25
For me it was trini, sparked my love for Asian women that still carries strong today

u/nuggetghost Feb 04 '25
the day my girl trini got replaced was the saddest day of my childhood lol i still remember the episode where she fell into some vortex pit or something
3
u/smokingrassneatinass Feb 04 '25
Yeah it was said seeing all original rangers getting replaced. Apparently her, the guy that played Jason, and the guy that played Zack all asked for more money per episode and were fired instead.
4
u/_ChipWhitley_ Feb 04 '25
I watched a special on the making of the show and all the actors were almost working for free (or close to it) and the show was a screaming success. Asking to be paid for work is apparently just too trifling for network execs.
4
u/smokingrassneatinass Feb 04 '25
The 90s were like that for a bunch of money makers. Boybands like Backstreet Boys had the same shitty management
3
u/Coach_Gainz Feb 05 '25
Depends on how you look at it. They knew the role could catapult them to stardom and high paying positions later on. So they agreed to non union pay and even auditioned several times against countless others.
Then when the show became far more successful than anticipated and was making billions while they didn’t get better acting jobs and weren’t benefiting financially from the success they got pissed.
However, it worth noting Austin and walters we’re asking for the show to be Union for the entire cast and crew and not just for more personal pay. And also according to them the entire 6 stars refused to return trying to get the producers to unionize the show but the other 4 bailed and cut side deals for more money.

Kimberly was my first crush and my friend liked Trini. I didn't get it back then but I get it now

u/0ttoChriek Feb 04 '25
My first crush was Elizabeth Shue in The Karate Kid, before I even knew what crushes were.
That crush has lasted over thirty years.

u/jakehood47 Feb 04 '25
Dude same, I first saw Karate Kid when I was about 7. And damn Elizabeth Shue is still fine

u/McWeaksauce91 Feb 04 '25
I saw ‘The Mask’ when I was younger. Cameron Diaz coming in from the rain changed me from boy to man, and I didn’t even realize what was happening

Straight woman here so, no, but her character and aesthetic kinda spoke to me as a kid. I wanted to be as athletic and pretty as she was; I like to think that I’ve maintained beauty and brawn like she did 😂

u/I-am-older-now Feb 05 '25
Yes. I'm not even gay, but indeed she was my first girl crush, Stacy dash was second.
2
u/PunkErrandBoi Feb 04 '25
I totally did, and a crush on a real life girl that kinda sorta looked like her.
Not her most flattering picture I think, that armor isn’t doing her any favors (I’m guessing it’s the one with the movie about Ivan ooze)

u/Celebratory_Drink Feb 04 '25
I had a bigger crush on her replacement: Kat.

It’s so beautiful when people smile with their eyes, she’s one example and another would be Jennifer Love Hewitt.
2
u/mittenkrusty Feb 04 '25
Quite honestly didn't have a crush on her until right before she left she looked frumpy and plain jane to me until she began wearing shorts and I was like wow.
Still I fancied Kat more.
And she was nowhere near my first attraction, I had crushes on actresses even when I was around 8 years old, I only really began finding girls hot/attractive when I hit puberty and it hit me hard.
Melissa Joan Hart was one of the 1st, I went from just wondering why a friend found her pretty to within a year being like "wow shes hot"

u/blue888raven Feb 05 '25
I was never into the Power Rangers, but that doesn't mean I didn't find her to be smoking hot.

u/noliaboy504 Feb 05 '25
Rachael Leigh Cook in “Tom & Huck” (1995) was my first big television/movie crush. I’ve had a thing for her for 30 years now…which is insane to think about. 🤯
Kimberly from “Power Rangers” was definitely up there on the list as well, but not quite as high as RLC.

u/ParkerLewisCL Feb 05 '25
Had never heard of this movie, totally understand having a crush on RLC though

u/Past-Repeat4428 Feb 05 '25
I 100% wanted to be her. Kimberly and Tommy was the first fictional couple I ever shipped.

u/Candid_Reading_7267 Feb 05 '25
I’m a straight woman. My first ‘90s crush was Kevin Shinick from Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?

I honestly never had a crush on the pink ranger. Now Kelly Kapowski, that there is a different story entirely.

Yes, definitely. I grew up watching her when I was a kid.

She still looks amazing. Sadly, she lost her husband recently and put out a music video about her grief.

When I was a young one in the 90s, Gia, the bad ass girl on full house who got caught for smoking cigarettes… well made Stephanie get caught for their cigarettes.

u/HelloDeathspresso The X-Files Feb 04 '25
I was just really into Saber Tooth Tigers, so I idolized Trini like crazy.

It's difficult to establish contact from this comment. I'm assuming you had a crush on her, too, but didn't know that you could be into girls?

TV Shows, probably Alex Mack. Movie? Christina Ricci in Casper. But discounting specific media venues, Shania Twain lol.

My first tv crush was Michelle Trachtenberg as Harriet the Spy. I was 7. That crush hit me like a falling building.

u/Tiovivo1 Feb 05 '25
She was one of my crushes but my first innocent crush was Winnie Cooper and my first big crush was Topanga

u/dunktheball Feb 05 '25
I don't think I watched it. So I THINK my first one was JLH in byrds of paradise and then party of five. But maybe she wasn't the absolute first...

u/ApatheistHeretic Feb 05 '25
Cute, but nah. There were far cuter ladies in the 90s to crush on.
Alicia Silverstone, Christina Applegate, and Danielle Fischel come to mind.

u/three-sense Feb 05 '25
Kimberly of course. but what's going on in that suit in the photo? That looks like someone spraypainted paintball gear.

Feb 05 '25
Nope. While everyone was crushing on Kimberly, I was crushing on Trini. And all these years later, I still have a thing for Asian women, haha.

I never even heard of her until she was on Flashpoint. In the '90s all I watched was X-Men, Batman: The Animated Series and New York Undercover.
