The film is set in the future and shows what the rangers are all up to now. Spoiler alert: It isn’t pretty.
“The dark and gritty reboot thing is such a cliché that the intention was not only to make it dark and gritty but make it even darker and grittier than you could possibly imagine, hence the brains, the blood and the violence and the sex,” said Kahn
This is just the latest fan-made, bootleg short from Shankar, who has also produced films about The Punisher, Judge Dredd and Venom.
Lionsgate is currently working on the real Power Rangers movie, but this one will be tough to beat.
“The irony here is that I wouldn’t even want to make “Power Rangers: The Movie’ for real,” Kahn said. “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.”

LendlDead minutes after I sent to all my friends. Boo. I hope it comes back. If not, that's a very expensive copyright infringement...
lucky760It's already alive again. I activated the backup about 15 minutes after you invoked quality.

LendlThe world needs to see this.

lucky760Nice.
As a side note, I'm really digging what the VideoSift team has done with this new design. It's really enjoyable to use!
Great job guys!

Retroboysays...Holy SHIT is that Starbuck?
00Scud00says...Yup, and wearing pink, my head just exploded.
Holy SHIT is that Starbuck?
ChaosEngineAnd fucking Dawson!
This whole thing is incredibly confusing. On of the list of things I don't give a shit about, Power Rangers, James Van Der Beek and dark gritty reboots are pretty damn close to the top.
And yet that was awesome!
Holy SHIT is that Starbuck?
LendlNote: the Vimeo version was nsfw because porn star boobs. So the YouTube version is totally safe for work.
Remember kids: boobs are bad but blood splattering head-shots are a-ok!
poolcleanerHoly amazeballs. I never really considered this dystopian world. Time to write some Power Rangers dystopian erotic fan fiction while this is still hawt.
poolcleanerThe reason we live in dystopian future... today... Excellent fan video released on the internet, stirs up a reinterest in a shitty old intellectual property, people who profit from this buzzes response? Take the video away from the masses. F U, aholes.
I just... I get it, but it doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel like the internet I voted for! lol
ChaosEngineMeh, you play with someone else's toys, don't be surprised if they want to make the rules.
I don't necessarily agree with their reasoning, but it's still their IP.

poolcleanerI'd genocide all IP if such a feat were possible. Tyler Durden has gotta be kickin around somewhere in the collective unconscious.
If there is such a force, be it far future grey goo or gods that dwell within or without, I dedicate the abstract concept of my fictitious soul to the undoing of all corporate power.
Corporations are people and their IP is what? The thoughts within its brain? Well, I'd murder one or all so easily. Prey on their greed.
As the datum of my prayer festers in the digital realm, my only desire is for vengeance. I will rise from within the 1s and 0s, Viggo the Carpathian style.
