Mistakes
- Divatox was now played by a different actress, and her costume now showed much less cleavage; her personality also seemed to change, from goofy and hysterical to cool and calculating. (00:08)
- The water dial in Tommy’s racecar was crooked. (03:15)
- The Subcraft’s cockpit appearance drastically different from that of “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (06:29)
- Teleporting to Earth as a green energy streak, the subcraft approached the north Atlantic, but it would eventually end up in Angel Grove. (06:56)
- After the subcraft had arrived on Earth, Elgar was holding a chain connected to a pulley in the ceiling, which then tied around Porto, nearby, as two Piranhatron shoved him upright; Divatox told Porto to get back to work. (08:54)
- The flashback from “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie” ran scenes out of order. The scenes are listed below, in the order that they aired, though numbered in the correct way.
(09:22)Order Scene Description 10 the teens walk into the Turbozord room in the Power Chamber 12 the teens drive the Turbozords through the desert 16 energy from Lerigot’s Golden Key allows Divatox’s subcraft to pass through the Nemesis Triangle 11 the four teens are infused with the Turbo powers 15 the Ghost Galleon sails 13 Katherine shrieks at a skeleton on the Ghost Galleon’s dock 18 the teens join the power of the Turbo Keys as the galleon approaches the Nemesis Triangle 19 the galleon explodes 17 Divatox laughs 5 four Ranger-colored streaks fly over the city at night 8 the four teens arrive with Lerigot at a beach in daylight 6 chimps peek up from bushes in a jungle 3 Piranhatron-like warriors pop up from bushes in a jungle 2 a superior warrior’s horse rides through a jungle (with the warrior riding it not shown) 1 an arrow strikes a log 7 Katherine falls off a cliff wearing her Zeonizers and Tommy dives after her 4 golden streaks envelop Lerigot as warriors surround him in a jungle 9 warriors ride on waverunners 20 the Rangers prepare to surprise the Malachians, Divatox, and crew in the temple as Jason and Kimberly hang over a lava pit 30 the Rangers summon weapons 26 Maligore’s form starts to rise from lava 21 Jason and Kimberly appear on the edge of the lava pit 22 Jason fights the helmetless Tommy 23 the Liarians purify Kim 24 Tommy holds onto Jason’s arm to prevent him from falling into the lava pit 27 the Liarians project their energy again 25 an explosion comes from the lava pit 28 the Rangers (all wearing their helmets) are surprised 29 Maligore’s foot stomps on ground with Rygog and Divatox in background 31 the Rangers shift levers in Turbozord cockpits 32 the Turbozords grow 33 the Turbo Megazord assembles 34 the Turbo Megazord stands victorious with an explosion behind it 14 Justin tells the teens at the dock that he’s the new Blue Ranger - Before the Turbozords raced through the desert, Adam was shown tightening his shoulder straps, but this hadn’t appeared in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (09:29)
- A close-up of Katherine shifting the shorter lever in Wind Chaser (before the Turbozords had raced out from the dust cloud) hadn’t been in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (09:30)
- The Turbozords were shown racing out from four Ranger-colored explosions of smoke in the desert, but these smoke explosions hadn’t been in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (09:30)
- Around the time Tommy would have been discovering the Ghost Galleon, Katherine shrieked at a skeleton on the dock, but this hadn’t been in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (10:00)
- When Divatox was shown laughing after the galleon had exploded, it was actually a shot of her panicking when she realized (at an earlier point) that the subcraft was taking on water. (10:14)
- When the four teens arrived at a beach with Lerigot, it was daytime, yet in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”, it had been in the dim light of early morning; the shot of the warriors on waverunners, however, was dimmed as it had been in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (10:20)
- As the Rangers prepared to rush into the temple, Tommy told the Rangers, “Okay, guys, this is it,” but in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”, his original line had been, “All right, guys, this is it,” and it had been uttered moments earlier than was now shown. (10:44)
- When the Rangers prepared to activate the Turbozords’ growth to Zord size, their dialogue was totally different from what they’d said in “Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie”. (11:09)
- Zordon’s image was back to its “Power Rangers Zeo” appearance (bluish-green with mild vertical streaks), but so were the tube and the wall behind it. (12:47)
- Skull said “this is a whole lot more exciting than doing parking ticket.” (13:24)
- It is unknown why Porto and Elgar didn’t just teleport to the center of the Energy Center where the detonator had to be activated. (13:32)
- When Elgar started the detonator, it initially read “59:60”. (15:32)
- Elgar wondered out loud how to get out of the Energy Center, but after being defeated by the Rangers in “Shift Into Turbo, Part II”, he merely teleported out. (15:42)
