Synopsis


During the opening electric guitar build-up, Ian and Anthony dance with stick-shaped props. Anthony quickly readjusts the camera so he and Ian are in focus, after which the two start to mock-fight. Ian plays his prop like a guitar while increasingly violently twisting his body back and forth before posing with his prop and mouthing "Go, go, Power Rangers!", bobbing his head to the beat, mouthing the line, bobbing his head to the beat, and the scene jump-cuts to Anthony, who finishes mouthing the verse.

During the subsequent instrumental, Ian strikes Anthony with his prop, sending him spinning into the adjacent bed. Following this is a series of rapid zoom-ins on Ian and Anthony's faces, who each make silly expressions. During the second verse, Ian continues 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 while twisting his body back and forth, and Anthony finishing the verse while Ian plays his props like drumsticks.

The final shot of the video is a slow-motion clip of Ian and Anthony charging out of the latter's bedroom, holding their props like swords.

Behind the scenes

 * This video was originally released on August 14, 2005. Since Anthony and Ian were born in September and November 1987 respectively, that would mean they were both seventeen when they made the video.
 * "Power Rangers Theme" was filmed in Anthony's bedroom, back when he still lived with his mother.
 * The video was filmed on Anthony's father's webcam that he and Ian had borrowed.

Continuity

 * This is the first "official" Smosh video ever made. Prior to this, Smosh had made animations on Newgrounds and filmed a few videos with friends on Smosh.com.
 * "Power Rangers Theme" is the first video related to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Future Power Rangers–themed videos include (in chronological order) "Mighty Smoshin POWER RANGERS", "If Kids Shows Were Real", and "BADASS NEW POWER RANGERS!."

Miscellanea
