The Mightiest Morphin Power Rangers
TR reader Steven Davis sent me his fan-made MMPR movie trailer after it got mentioned in the TR comments yesterday, and it’s awesome enough that I thought it was worth sharing. Amazing how a bit of slow-motion and the right rock song can make anything look totally badass, although I’ll admit that MMPR has more than its share of cool footage if only because the Japanese are still making the Go Ranger series that MMPR is/was based on, with today’s special effects. Only thing that today’s special effects can’t improve on? Amy Jo Johnson’s butt circa 1995. She was the only reason I survived taking my little brother to the actual MMPR movie.
