Why does he/sword look more like a pirate than a samurai? Arrrrrrrrrrrr they samurai pirates?

BTW, Palmdale isn't exactly livin' it up...even for non-actors. Desert, cactus, meth addicts, and more desert.

I have a feeling there's a little more to the story if they let him off that quickly without even pressing charges.

Producers of Power Rangers Video Might Be In For Legal Fight

A legal battle is brewing over the rights of filmmakers to make fan videos based on the copyrighted works of others. Music video director Joseph Kahn, who posted a 14-minute Power Rangers take-off last night that quickly went viral, says he’s being “harassed” by Haim Saban, who owns rights to the franchise and is jointly producing his own Power Rangers film with Lionsgate.

The short film, produced by Adi Shankar (an executive producer on Lone Survivor and A Walk Among The Tombstones) and Jil Hardin and co-written by Kahn, Dutch Southern and star James Van Der Beek, was posted on YouTube and Vimeo. Katee Sackhoff also stars. It as of now, it’s still up on YouTube and has jumped from 716,000 views to 1.4 million views in a matter of an hour. Vimeo took it down today after receiving a complaint from Saban Brands.

It sucks but you can still catch on Youtube for now if you want. Apparently this is a slightly edited version as the one on Vimeo was more violent.
