Man, that short film... that short film was not good. Not at all. Paul is right, take away the helmet and it could've been any generic superhero. If you're going to make a Power Rangers short, at least do something that's unique to Power Rangers. Fight monsters, use blasters, show them actually morph with a morpher, have them in an actual Power Rangers costume and not just a helmet. That was basically PRINO.
If he wasn't wearing a Ranger helmet, that could have been any generic superhero fan film. I know it's probably hard to do sophisticated FX for the morphing sequence, but saying "It's Morphin' Time" off screen and then cutting to him as a Ranger is missing the point of why the show can be fun.
Also, don't use the Rock Bottom in a fight. It looks awful.
God damn. Aside from the infernal dubstep that Red Rising was sweet. I liked the motorcycle jacket/glove combo instead of Lycra, he even SOUNDED like the original Red Ranger! It is indeed Morphin' time. It's also time someone gave me a sweet MMPR reboot, although I could do without the dubstep. The crotch rocket was cool though, all neon and stuff! And I don't even like crotch rockets! Also, Jason would have handled three thugs without morphing, but still. For a three minute flick, that was pretty bad ass.

For those people who don't use itunes, you can also buy the Power Rangers Redux album though his bandcamp page.
I thought the news was that the Pink Ranger is coming back since her cop show "Flashpoint" ended.
That PCS video was indeed....strange. Entertaining, but strange. Something about watching the Yellow Ranger fight while the Spanish announcer narrated....I really got a giggle out of that.
