"Power Rangers Theme"
"Go, go, Power Rangers!"

- Anthony mouthing to "Go Go Power Rangers"

During the opening electric guitar build-up of "Go Go Power Rangers", the theme song of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Ian and Anthony danced with stick-shaped props. Anthony readjusted the camera to get himself and Ian in focus, after which the two proceeded to mock-fight. After Ian played his prop like a guitar and mouthing "Go, go, Power Rangers!", the scene jump-cut to Anthony, who finished mouthing the verse. During the subsequent instrumental, Ian struck Anthony with his prop, sending him spinning into the adjacent bed. Following this was a series of rapid zoom-ins on Ian and Anthony's faces, each making silly expressions. During the second verse, Ian continued to mouth "Go, go, Power Rangers!" while posing with his props, this time intermixed with a clip of Anthony using his feet to fight a barely on-screen Ian, a second clip of Ian playing his prop like a guitar, and Anthony finishing the verse while Ian played his props like drumsticks. In the final shot, a slow-motion clip of Ian and Anthony charged out of the latter's bedroom, holding their props like swords.

"Power Rangers Theme Behind The Scenes"
Ian and Anthony timed their initial on-screen appearances while mouthing lyrics of "Go Go Power Rangers." They performed a half-choreographed fight scene with props, which Ian seemingly won after "knocking" Anthony onto his bed several times in succession. Anthony instructed Ian to perform a "swing shot", consisting of Ian swinging his prop in front of Anthony's face, who spun around and flops atop the bed. After briefly checking something on the computer, standing up, they started "rocking out" with their props; while Ian played his prop like a guitar while rapidly flailing his body around, Anthony suggestively danced with his props. They burst into laughter before sitting down.
