Green Ranger Hates the Viral ‘Power Rangers’ Fan Film

Date:

The green ranger hates the new fan film of the Power Rangers.

A new short film featuring the popular power rangers has gone viral across the internet featuring James Van Der Beek from Dawson’s Creek kicking butt and torturing the pink ranger. But, one Power Ranger in particular hates the new fan film. According to reports, Jason David Frank, the actor who played the Green Ranger in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, posted a video to Facebook in which he criticizes the fan film.

“I know there’s a lot of fans out there that love it and all that stuff, but I’m just a PG-13 guy,” Frank said. “The cuss words, the drugs, all this other stuff — it doesn’t fly with me.”

Frank said he was approached to appear in the short, but he declined, as he felt that the new take was too harsh for younger viewers. “The problem is that [Power Rangers is] still connected with adult and kids,” he said. “You can’t take a brand like this and reboot it so dark and gritty.”

Frank is scheduled to appear in the upcoming official Power Rangers feature film, which is scheduled for release in 2016.

Vimeo recently removed the short film after a complaint from Saban Brands, the owner of Power Rangers.
