Watch: James van der Beek Chokeholds Katee Sackhoff in Blood-Spattering ‘Power/Rangers’ Bootleg

Ever wondered what happened when the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers grew up? Well, apparently Adi Shankar did — so much so that he produced “Power/Rangers,” a bootleg short film of the concept (a new installment in what he refers to as “The Bootleg Universe”). Directed by Joseph Kahn, this quick take on the PTSD-ridden rangers (and the mysterious person killing them off one by one) stars James van der Beek (!!) and Katee Sackhoff (!!!).

It’s certainly a dark take on the Power Rangers — as Arts.Mic points out, it’s definitely been been hit with some “Bayization” (think “Transformers”) — which makes sense, because it was created for and by ’90s children who grew up and “yearn[ed] for something darker and grittier.”
