Mistakes
- Alpha 5 located the teen’s parents and alerted the Rangers, despite Zordon locating them and reporting that they were fine in the previous episode. (01:09)
- As it was destroying a building, Dragonzord was briefly shown to be in Battle Mode, despite the lack of the other Zords’ presence. (03:03)
- When Jason remarked, “It’s working!” as Tommy’s powers were being restored, his words didn’t match his mouth. (03:38)
- Green Ranger had a white (rather than black) holster on the wrong hip with a Blade Blaster in it. (03:42)
- While Goldar was using the Dragon Dagger to control the Dragonzord, the box holding the Power Coins was lying on a podium near a waterfall outside Angel Grove; this shows that the dagger and box were not actually the same object although Goldar had morphed the dagger into the form of the box. (03:54)
- The Green Ranger’s Blade Blaster fell out in the middle of his fight with Goldar. (05:33)
- In the middle of the fight with Dragonzord, Goldar realized that they’d left the Power Coins unguarded, and he and Scorpina vanished; the villains never returned to the Power Coins, however, leaving them unguarded and allowing Tommy to reclaim them. (07:47)
- The Putties shifted position when Green Ranger teleported away after retrieving the box with the Power Coins. (08:14)
- After ducking under Red’s and Yellow’s outstretched hands, Pink was suddenly being restrained by Blue and Black in the next shot. (11:57)
- When Tommy regained consciousness, he somehow knew that the other Rangers were in trouble. (12:27)
- The Megazord cockpit lacked the dinosaur symbol behind Red Ranger in one shot. (15:05)
- To form the Dragonzord Battle Mode, Jason called for the “Megadragonzord”. (16:08)
- Immediately before forming Ultrazord, the Rangers formed the Dragonzord Battle Mode rather than the Megadragonzord. (16:21)
- The Ultrazord blasts destroyed giant Dramole with a slice effect, as though from a sword. (16:40)
