Mission Briefing: Inside Virtual Reality
VR Troopers was a groundbreaking 90s action series produced by Saban Entertainment, following the massive success of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The show followed Ryan, Kaitlin, and J.B. as they protected the real world from Grimlord, a dark lord from a parallel virtual dimension.
The high-energy theme song is famous for its pulsing electronic beat and the iconic “4-3-2-1” countdown. Much like its sister show, VR Troopers used adapted footage from Japanese Metal Hero series (Metalder, Spielban, and Shaider), blending it with American-filmed scenes to create a unique cyber-adventure.
The repetitive, anthem-like lyrics “We are VR” became a playground staple, solidifying the show’s place in the 90s pop culture “multiverse.”
