It's long been known that the unreleased three-hour first cut of 1997's Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie featured a romance between original Mighty Morphin teammates Jason Lee Scott, played by Austin St. John, and Kimberly Ann Hart, played by Amy Jo Johnson. However, for reasons unknown to this day, that subplot was scrapped (along with a number of other things) in favor of the 99-minute theatrical cut, which received a less-than-warm reception from critics and fans, alike.
Luckily for fans of the original Red and Pink Rangers, it looks like the upcoming reboot, which hits theaters in two weeks, will attempt to reintroduce that subplot by romantically pairing the characters' updated iterations, now played by Dacre Montgomery and Naomi Scott. We get a look at the pair in this latest clip from the movie as they chat about their futures in Angel Grove and plan an impromptu trip.

Saban's Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
