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.

    14Justin tells the teens at the dock that he’s the new Blue Ranger
    (09:22)
  • 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)
