The Dark Side

There was a slapped together and very dark film starring Vanderbeek that was shot last year, portraying the Power Rangers as broken down adults.  The idea was that these kids had devoted their teenage years to defending the Earth against the evils of outer space, only to have basically lost in the end.

Technology had taken over, and in a Terminator-esque fashion had determined that it had to wipe out humans for their own good.  A huge key to making this happen was to eliminate the defenders of the earth, known as the Power Rangers.

There are scenes of drug use and some others of scantily clad young women.  There are execution scenes where some of the Power Rangers are brutally murdered.  There are, of course, plenty of curse words as well.

The illegally produced film is someone's interpretation of the Power Rangers having done it all for nothing, and being left in a shallow world of pity and self-loathing.  It certainly is not for younger viewers, and most definitely does not represent what the Power Rangers are all about.
