Joseph Kahn’s Power Rangers - Dark And Violent R-Rated Re-Imagining - Explored

  • Joseph Kahn’s Power Rangers was taken off streaming platforms Vimeo and UA-cam soon after its release. Any guesses as to why that happened? Well, as the title of this video suggests, it was way too dark, violent, and cynical for a Power Rangers short. I mean, it literally illustrated unfiltered content like the Black Ranger sleeping with many women and using illegal narcotics, only to spill the brains of some bad guys later. Soon after being pulled off the internet, Power Rangers fans’ and the entire internet community erupted in expressing their disapproval, some even screamed their guts out! The outcry was so strong that it could even be called a micro revolution of sorts! Even Saban had to back down and allow the film back online. But Kahn didn’t make the short film to piss people off or to get producers to offer him a fortune for a full-length feature film. His sole intent was to put forth his own version of Power Rangers. In fact, in an interview, he mentioned that as a short, Power Rangers could be portrayed as dark and gritty, but as a full-length film, it should remain within the boundaries of socially accepted norms. Without further ado, let’s deep dive into this beautiful yet controversial short by Joseph Kahn, produced by Adi Shankar.
    Credits - The left-hand side of the thumbnail is by Dave Rapoza! What an amazing artist definitely check him out!

      Fan Film you mean? Personally this wasn't even a Fan Film. Yes, PR fan films pre P/R were joke and/or troll attempts ( Dominic Sivilli's MMPR, my Lost Galaxy 2014 project, etc.) or never almost made it (March of the Dragon).
      I'd rather visit the Unworthy, Shattered Past stuff if I have the time than rewatch Shankar's ultraviolent not fan film of this IP. I was 22.5 in 2015 when this came out. Hated it and boy was I jealous and insecure this Fan Film had more attention than my Fan Film project of Power Rangers.

    I remember the short from a few years ago and it was absolutely incredible and totally what people wanted to see. I think that part of the reason the live action movie made shortly after tanked was because it felt vanilla and childish compared to this vision. Remember that all of us who grew up with power rangers are now adults. We know the world can be dark. the kahn version mirrored what all those 90s kids discovered as they grew up. That the world is a harsh place and it can corrupt even the best of us. This version is what the movie should have been.

It was cancelled because of poor marketing and having the movie go against Disney's live action remake of one of their beloved animated movies that came out two years before PR with said remake starring Hermione Granger herself as Belle. Not only that, said Ranger movie by contrast didn't have any action until the final 20 minutes of it's 2 hour/4 minute runtime. 2017 PR was all character study, no action till the end. Even the trailers for it showed this was going be more of a Breakfast Club remake with Power Rangers and it just didn't fucking work.

    Dark and violent Power Rangers show? Saw this. It was fun. Not to mention that Tokusatsu can get dark and scary even at times. See stuff like GARO for instance. Even some Kamen Riders like Shin, Zo and J were dark and had some uncanny valley-tier monster designs.
    Edit: Not to mention all these four things I listed also had violence. And don't get me started on some of the Ultraman shows going into a darker path. Some being even for adult audiences. Thus I don't see a problem with making an adult Power Rangers show.

    It can be dark but to a certain extent. I would love to see (and feel) how dangerous it is to be a Power Ranger. (But refer or allude to the drugs, sex, headshots, etc.) That’s what this short felt like. It wasn’t just a playground fight, it was a battle that evolved into a war, but also has consequences (Rangers dying, betraying one another, civilians selling your identity out, law enforcement thinking you’re a vigilante) it has potential to be awesomely mature while having callbacks to our childhood.

    I saw this Power Rangers short in 2015, when it was first uploaded to UA-cam.
    I was shocked by the dark tone, the bloody violence and the portrayal of the rangers and that they split up. It having been set after the events of Zeo, I didn't understand why it Zack, and Jason were in it(and Jason being killed so violently) James Vanderbeek wasfine as Rocky, but I thought Later Sackoff should have played Kat, as she replaced Kim after she left the team to pursue a gymnastics career. During Zeo, Rocky was the Blue Ranger, Adam was the Green Ranger, Aisha the Yellow Ranger, Kat was the Pink Ranger, and Tommy became the leader as the Red Ranger. So my confusion led me to question why Joseph Kahn ignored the continuity set up with Zeo. It was dark and edgy, but also made by a professional director with professional actors and a budget bigger than any "fan film" on UA-cam.

      Maybe in this version there was no zeo lineup just maybe the Jason giving his power to rocky and trini dying with her power and no Adam or aisha which is why there not shown

Would def watch this, looking forward to JDFs Legend of the White Dragon film as it will be more dark and adult, it's power rangers inspired but not power rangers

      so if we run rampant making everything grow up, our kids will see that and the magic would be ruined.
      I love that things grow up sometimes, but those inboxes years are great as well.

      When I was 22 going on 23 when it came out, I didn't personally. The opening scene with the Rangers running with guns in first person I liked because it looked like a trailer for a Call of Duty or Halo game. Other than that, every other part of P/R I hated. Especially taken a Ranger like Rocky - a Ranger not many fans liked after he replaced Jason - and make him evil. If Van Der Dick was any existing MMPR character in this thing, it would've been either a "Lord Zedd" or "Rito Revolto" in the thing. Also Kimberly wasn't blonde. That was Katherine.

I want real stakes and consequences, situations where the bad guys win and things go wrong, young adults doing young adult things and dealing with the ramifications of their actions. There’s so many stories you could tell especially with as many different versions as they’ve had.
