The Power Rangers reboot was a bit divisive, but it still had plenty of amazing moments for fans and past Rangers alike. For the original Red Ranger though, there is one moment that stands above the rest.

Austin St. John played the character of Jason Scott during the first two seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and while the film included his character, it did take some detours from the original series. Still, he couldn't have been prouder of the film incarnation after that hilarious moment in detention (via ZerOtheGeek).

"My favorite part of the movie was where my character, or the new Jason, completely pimp slapped the bully in detention for being a jerk," St. John told fans at Tampa Bay Comic Con. "I was like that is something I actually wanted to do myself, good job!"

Granted, he could never have done that back during the original series, a show that (somehow) was viewed at the time as too violent. "Had he done that in the 90's I would've been fired. "That's too violent", but I loved it," St. John told fans at San Francisco Comic Con (via Steven Alvarez).

It's hard to belive that a show like Power Rangers was ever looked at as "violent", as the characters don't even bleed when hit (they spark instead). Then again, the 90's was a very different time, and things like the darker in tone unofficial Power Rangers Fan Film were a long way from happening yet. Imagine if 90's parents could have seen that version. They probably would have just fainted on the spot.

While he enjoyed the film's portrayal of Jason, there was one thing that was downplayed just a bit too much for his liking, though it really isn't Red Ranger Dacre Montgomery's fault, as opposed to a difference in vision.
