Legend of the White Dragon (August 28, 2026)

I’m so glad that this movie was made. While it’s of course sad that Jason David Frank couldn’t see this final version of the movie, he loved making it and believed in its potential.

A movie that was supposed to come out in 2020 and then 2023, it’s faced some of the most crazy hurdles that a movie can face, and yet it’s in over 600 theaters across the country tonight.

The cast did a great job. JDF was fantastic as ever. Every now and then I heard his iconic kiai when he’d fight. His emotions were barred onscreen and I felt them echo. I’m glad that he got to make his version of a Ranger story. It was gritty and dark and certainly had potential.

Aaron Schoenke did such a good job with this movie. He acted, directed, designed, produced, edited and wrote so well! It’s been a lot of work for him and his father as well. Bat in the Sun Productions did great! I certainly felt its style.

The rest of the cast was great! Most actors I knew would be there since I’ve followed the production for all these years, but there were a couple nice surprises. I loved seeing David Ramsey!

The plot was relatively simple and very direct with its intent. It knew what it was and where it was going. The visuals were cool! Though, I would have loved for some larger studio would have given them more money to pour into visuals and make them even more crazy! Haha. It certainly gave off an anime style of fighting.

I certainly wish we could see more of the story on-screen, but seeing it continued in a comic would be great too. I’m happy that fans who could make these screenings got to see this movie finally. And to have it be on Power Ranger Day (33 years of the franchise) was even more wonderful.

I’ve been a fan of Jason David Frank since, like most of us, I was a kid. He was and still is my favorite Ranger. I got to meet him once in 2016 and he was so kind. I wish I’d gotten to meet him again.

This movie was, in fact, morphenonmenal!

Mid-credit scene: No, but there were behind the scenes footage from the movie. So wonderful to see everyone loving being on-set.

End-credit scene: Nope. But there was a dedication to the fans.
