The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that most children of a certain generation remember is bright and goofy, with broad villains like a dimwitted bat-monkey and the Bloom of Doom. This ain’t that Power Rangers. It’s also not a porn parody, despite that last sentence. Power/Rangers is Joseph Kahn’s fan film, “not a pilot, not a series, not for profit, strictly for exhibition,” that turns Zordon’s crew into a bunch of moody sex-starved assassins. Kahn, the director of music videos for everyone from Aaliyah to Rob Zombie and the full-length feature Torque, told HitFix:
“The irony here is that I wouldn’t even want to make Power Rangers: The Movie for real. Like if I had to make a Power Rangers movie, this is it. It’s 14 minutes long and it’s violent and this is what I have in me. If they offered me the $200 million version, the PG-13 version, I literally wouldn’t do it. It’s just not interesting to me.” (Via)
Here’s what interests him, with some help from James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff.
UPDATE: the more nudity-filled video was taken down earlier.
It kind of looks like the EDM goo-monster film from the Entourage movie, no?
