Start Your Engines -- On Track To Triumph!

This first Power Rangers RPM DVD Volume was released on July 7, 2009.  We'll start, as always, with pictures of the case & disc, and we'll then move onto details of the DVD.  To view the full version of a picture, just click on it.

Okay, now let's start getting to the details.  The case artwork is nice, feature all real pictures of the Rangers, Bear Crawler, Grinder, and various pictures from the shows.  Like the Jungle Fury DVDs before this, the Disc itself is done in a silvery frosted over style, featuring the RPM logo & the DVD title.

As stated before, the episodes on each disc are as follows:

"The Road to Corinth"
"Fade to Black"
"Rain"
"Go For the Green"
"Handshake"

After the normal previews, the DVD starts.  To start, we see the Red Ranger in his Zord revving it up.  We then get the Eagle Racer Zord shown on screen for the Main Menu.  Each submenu is listed below the Zord.  You can first select to Play All episodes.  Then you have the Episode Selection.  Here we find the five episode selection screen, each showing one picture from that episode.  The next Sub Menu from the Main Menu is the Set Up.  This screen has the Red Ranger with his Nitro Blaster Sword Mode pointed toward the screen.  Finally, the last Sub Menu is the Sneak Peeks, which shows the five main Zords racing down the screen for a background.

When you select "Sneak Peeks", you're moved to the usual Buena Vista Home Entertainment Previews area.  For this disc, you can view the following previews:


There are no Bonus Features for the disc, not on the DVD itself and not included with any inserts.  The only inserts included with this RPM DVD are a Disney Blu-ray advertisement, and the normal white security card.  I find it kinda bad that there wasn't even a DVD insert card showing what episodes are on the disc.

All five episodes are in great DVD quality.  The first four episodes do not have the end credits plaster over the show itself.  Those four shows have your standard end credits, with those credits on the left side of the screen, while the right side shows various RPM footage.  However, the "Handshake" episode does have the end credits over the show, just like it aired on television.  

If you are a fan of Power Rangers RPM, I recommend buying this disc so you can have the first five episodes in good DVD quality.  The second DVD is scheduled for release on September 8.  I do hope that sales of these DVDs push Buena Vista Home Entertainment to continue releasing RPM on DVD, so that we can get the complete season on DVD.

You should be able find this DVD at your local retailers.
