Mistakes
- The scene with the Craterites parachuting down had no sound whatsoever. (04:49)
- As thousands of Craterites parachuted down from the Megaship into Angel Grove, they actually appeared to be parachuting down from a massive round ship, such as the Dark Fortress, instead. (04:49)
- A Craterite was clearly heading directly toward Bulk to kick him, but this event was never shown to happen. (05:52)
- Between streaking away from the Megaship and flying over the city, the Rangers were shown flying through the cyber-tunnel; after reaching the center of the city, the five teens were then walking together downtown unmorphed. (07:15)
- It seemed as though Patrick was the only one who was able to see through the Craterites’ disguises. (07:51)
- The next day, it seemed as though Patrick ran straight from his apartment before school to tell Officer Hemming in the plaza downtown about the Craterites, but Patrick’s running from the officer to a group of skateboarding friends and then the teens’ offering to take Patrick home until his mom got there all indicate that Patrick had had to see Officer Hemming after school had let out. (10:35)
- The day after a thunderstorm, the sky was clear in almost all shots, but suddenly mostly overcast in shots when Andros, Ashley, and T.J. prepared to morph in an industrial park. (12:58)
- Although Andros had said that Craterites only wanted to fight Power Rangers, he and the others went to get Patrick when he was in no danger, and actually endangered his safety by being with him. (14:43)
- As Cassie and Andros fought Craterites in the woods, Andros was shown grappled in the background a moment before a Craterite had actually grappled him. (15:50)
