The Pacific Rim Trailer Gets Better with the Power Rangers Theme
httpv://youtu.be/FfB09Wie6yk
Pacific Rim is supposed to be Guillermo Del Toro’s love letter to giant monster/robot movies, but those of us who grew up after Gundams or Godzilla would have a different impression of what’s a “classic” in that genre.
That would of course be the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers whose theme song really spices up the Pacific Rim trailer as you can see above. I swear they’re going to do a big screen reboot of Power Rangers someday soon, for better or worse. Mark my words.
Godzilla – 1954
Gundam – 1979
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – 1993
that is exactly what i thought when i watched the trailer! and it made me even more excited to see it!!!
Yeah, probably meant to say “after” there, not “before”. Although the stuff del Toro is homaging isn’t Gundam, but more classic super robot shows like Mazinger and Getter Robo.
Power Ranger is the final proof that american like to transform any
foreign genial thing in shi#…
