Mistakes
- Tori oddly said “I don’t know about you, but I smell a -rodent-.” This line could possibly imply Sensei, however the more classic “I smell a -rat-” would not. (08:06)
- It’s unknown how Choobo summoned Kelzaks, since Lothor denied Zurgane’s offering of sending them earlier. (09:28)
- After cutting Choobo’s “tubes”, they were restored in the next and all future scenes. (11:19)
- The Navy Thunder Ranger moved between Sentai and American shots during the Blaster to Blaster stand-off scene. (12:49)
- Despite the Minizord being an “extra” piece in the Thunder Power Megazord, half of him had to be summoned through the Storm Power Megazord. (17:05)
