“Blood Punch”: RPM Rangers Die Trying, Again
As a collective whole, the cast of Power Rangers RPM is undoubtedly one of the most talented ensembles ever to be squeezed into butt-hugging spandex. From Eka Darville’s recurring stint on shows like “Empire” and “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” to Rose McIver’s starring role as the title hero in “iZombie”, this bunch has talent for days. It was this thought that took me into Blood Punch, the decidedly not-suitable-for-Nickelodeon horror comedy about a love triangle gone cray-cray in the woods.
Filled to the brim with RPM alums, would my affection for these young adults with attitude be affirmed through this twisted affair, or would it prove to be, as with the film’s central characters, a seemingly endless nightmare? Climb aboard the dimension-hopping train as we chug along through a spoiler-filled review, and pray that our sanity doesn’t get off at the wrong stop.

Past Rangers to Appear on Power Rangers Ninja Steel
Thanks to The Power Scoop for finding the following interview that new Red Ranger William Shewfelt did with The Modesto Bee. Here’s an excerpt:
On Jan. 15, he returns to New Zealand to shoot the second half of the Ninja Steel story arc through May. That will be the show’s 25th anniversary, airing in 2018 with guest appearances of the most popular past Rangers, Shewfelt said.
In terms of non-ranger alumni, we’ve already seen Kelson Henderson who has played various roles on Power Rangers including Boom from Power Rangers SPD, but footage from the sentai counterpart Ninninger does lend itself for past rangers to appear: Yellow Ranger from Magiranger, Red Ranger from Kakuranger, and both Red and Green Rangers from Hurricaneger. (Power Rangers Mystic Force, Mighty Morphin’ Alien Rangers, and Power Rangers Ninja Storm respectively.)
But are these the “most popular” rangers or are we in store for more surprises? Power Rangers Ninja Steel premieres Saturday, January 21, 2017 on Nickelodeon.
