anytime they were wearing their uniforms, it was the original footage from japan. Anytime they werent in their suits and went about their everyday teenage drama, it was newer footage spliced in from america. I guess that explained the weird way they always exaggerrated their movements whenever they got shot up by monsters (japanese were never known for their live action)
Yup I realised it the first time I saw the Power Rangers. Pretty obvious, as the US filmed sequences had minor differences in the ranger suits, for eg. a fatter Red Ranger, side metal catches on the helmets, brighter colours, etc. Some times the producers even went as far as include the non action scenes from the original Jap shows, but they were usually careful enough to hide the Japanese people's faces away from the camera.
