Go Go Power Rangers

I read all of this. You read it too.

* In the episode "Trick or Treat", Skull has the numbers "24601" tattooed on his chest. This is reference to Jean Valjean's prison number in Les Miserables (also used by Seymour Skinner and Sideshow Bob in "The Simpsons" (1989), Hank Jennings in "Twin Peaks" (1990).

* An alternate ending to the episode "Doomsday" was filmed in case the show was not renewed. The alternate ending depicted the Rangers sealing Rita and her minions in the Space Dumpster. This ending mirrored the last episode of "Kyôryû sentai Juurenjâ" (1992), upon which Power Rangers was based.

* This series is an Americanized version of a Japanese Super Sentai series called "Kyôryû sentai Juurenjâ" (1992) (Dinosaur Team Beast Ranger); this is most evident in the combat scenes, which are obviously stock footage from an older series. Each subsequent Power Rangers series is an Americanized version of a subsequent Super Sentai series.

* Despite numerous promotional tie-ins with McDonalds, the only real-life fast-food restaurant mentioned in the series was Arbys.

* Ashley Hammond (Tracy Lynn Cruz), who was later became the Yellow Ranger in "Power Rangers Turbo" (1997) and _"Power Rangers In Space" (1998)_ , can briefly be seen in Season 3's Christmas episode, "I'm Dreaming Of A White Ranger."

* Because of the surprising popularity of the series, Saban Entertainment, the company that produced Power Rangers, was faced with the possibility of exhausting all of its Zyuranger footage with no more to fall back upon in order to continue producing the show. Saban contacted Toei (the company which produced/produces the Sentai series in Japan), as well as Rainbow Productions (the company that designed and produced the monster suits), requesting another half-season's worth of Zyuranger footage specifically for Power Rangers. The two Japanese companies agreed and created about 25 brand-new monsters and filming both the human- and Zord-sized battle footage for each. The companies also incorporated elements from MMPR into the footage, such as the relationship between the Green and Pink Rangers and the Blue Ranger as the brains of the group.

* Part way through filming Season 2 Austin St. John (Jason) Thuy Trang (Trini) and Walter Jones (Zack) left the show, it is rumored, over pay issues. Hence from "The Ninja Encounter", Saban used recycled footage for their unmorphed scenes (with any new dialog required for them, coming from other actors), until "The Power Transfer" when their Rangers positions were replaced by Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley and 'Johnny Yong Bosch' respectively. Although, Austin later returned to Power Rangers in a temporary spell as the Gold Ranger in "Power Rangers Zeo" (1996).

* Although Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank) was made the leader of the team once he became the White Ranger in season two, Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) was actually supposed to remain the leader even after Tommy's return. Some of this original idea is shown in the season 2 episode "Opposites Attract" when Jason orders the team to return to the Command Center during a disturbance, and he signals and leads the team, including Tommy as the White Ranger, in the Power Rangers' morphing sequence. However, those plans were scrapped due to the rumored pay dispute involving Austin St. John that would lead to Jason being written off the series and the line that Zordon (Robert L. Manahan) says in the second part of the "White Light" storyline was changed and re-recorded to make Tommy the leader instantly upon his return.

* Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) was the first to coin the phrase "Back to action!"

* Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) and Adam Park (Johnny Yong Bosch) are, to date, the only Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to still use their original Power Morphers in the other "Power Rangers" series after MMPR. Jason used his Morpher again in the Tenth Anniversary special "Forever Red" on Power Rangers: Wild Force, while Adam used his Morpher in "Always a Chance" on Power Rangers in Space and the two-part Fifteenth Anniversary special "Once A Ranger" on Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive.

* Filming for "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" usually lasted seven days a week for sixteen weeks straight.

* The pyrotechnics used in Billy's brain-switching machine had caused both Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and David Yost (Billy) to accidentally catch on fire while filming the scene. Amy Jo would later be wary of being too close to such special effects equipment because of the accident.

* In an online interview, Amy Jo Johnson said that season two's "Bloom of Doom" was her favorite episode of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers".

* Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank) is the only Power Ranger to have his date of birth revealed on his action figure box. According to the profile card of Tommy on the Dragonzord toy box in 1993, Tommy's birthday was listed as October 20th, giving him the same birthday as his teammate Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John).

* According to a 2004 contest held by ABC Family, Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) and Trini Kwan (Thuy Trang) were voted as the best Red and Yellow Rangers of all time.

* The birthdays of the original five Power Rangers were revealed in both an Interactive CD-Rom and on the back of their action figure boxes. Kimberly the Pink Ranger's birthday is on February 14th, Billy the Blue Ranger's birthday is on April 1st, Zack the Black Ranger's birthday is on May 3rd, Trini the Yellow Ranger's birthday is on August 9th and Jason the Red Ranger's birthday is on October 20th.

* Jason (Austin St. John) and Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) are the only Power Rangers to have their full names revealed. Jason's full name, Jason Lee Scott, is revealed in season two's "Missing Green" episode, while Kimberly's full name, Kimberly Ann Hart, is revealed in season three's "The Potion Notion".

* Kimberly Ann Hart (Amy Jo Johnson) was the first to coin the phrase "Morphinomenal."

* Billy Cranston, the Blue Power Ranger (David Yost), is, to date, the only Power Ranger to hold the same position for the longest time (3 years, 1993-1996) without ever switching colors. Kimberly Ann Hart (Amy Jo Johnson) is currently the longest-serving female Power Ranger and Pink Ranger of all time. She appeared in 137 episodes of the TV series until her departure from the series.

* Billy and Kimberly are the two longest serving male and female rangers in the history of the Power Rangers franchise.

* The character Billy Cranston (David Yost), the Blue Ranger, is the only Power Rangers character to appear in every episode of the series. Yost appeared as Billy for every episode but two (season three's two-part "Alien Rangers of Aquitar"), when his character is temporarily turned from a teenager into a child.

* Katherine "Kat" Hillard (Catherine Sutherland) takes over the role of the Pink Ranger in season three and she is the only Ranger to appear as the same color for two more Power Ranger teams after this series (the Pink Zeo Ranger in "Power Rangers Zeo" and the Pink Turbo Ranger for "Power Rangers Turbo").

* Katherine Hillard (Catherine Sutherland) has the record for the shortest time serving as a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. She becomes the Pink Ranger after receiving the Pink Power Coin from Kimberly at the end of "A Different Shade of Pink, Part 3". She appears as a Power Ranger for only eight episodes before the show changes to "Power Rangers Zeo".

* When Austin St. John (Jason), Walter Jones (Zack) and Thuy Trang (Trini) were no longer filming episodes of the series, additional dialog for their characters' voices were done by uncredited actors. For the new episodes, Trini's voice was done by an unknown actress named Judy, Jason's was done by associate producer Paul Rosenthal and Zack's was done by Joel Rogers, Bob Manahan's second engineer.

* The show's violence led to it being pulled off the air by some broadcasters, in particular YTV Canada, and reopened the debate on violence in programming geared towards children.

* The voices of both Fang and Vampirus were both spoofs of Peter Lorre. Lizzinator's voice was a spoof of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dischordia's voice was a spoof of Ethel Merman.

* Ninjor's voice was a spoof of Dudley Do-Right's.

* Early on in the first season, when Bulk and Skull were punks, they were joined by a punked-out blonde girl and an African-American guy in shades. They were quickly phased out and were gone before the Green Ranger arrived.

* Mondo the Magician, a metal-faced humanoid the Rangers defeated rather quickly in Season 2's "Storybook Rangers: Part 2," was actually the main villain from "Gosei sentai Dairanger" (1993).

* The original names for Goldar, Squatt, and Baboo were Dredwing, Grock, and Mongo.

* Lord Zedd is Jewish. During his wedding to Rita in Season 2's "The Wedding: Part 3," he wore a yarmulke, he did the traditional breaking of a glass to commemorate the destruction of the Temple, and the song "Hava Nagila" was played.

* The character of Scorpina (Ami Kawai) disappeared at the beginning of the second season. She returned in the middle of the season, in "Goldar's Vice-Versa" (played by a new actress), then left the show permenantly. Scorpina was supposed to return to the show as a main character in that episode, but Saban was unable to keep the actress for more than one episode.

* The only onscreen credit ever given to "Ninja sentai Kakurenjâ" (1994) was at the end of the Power Playback Funniest Moments special (Season 3's credits never credited Kakuranger as the footage source).

* Zordon was the one that came up with the phrase, "It's Morphin' Time!"

* In the original Japanese footage, the Yellow Ranger was male. This is why the Pink Ranger has a skirt, but Yellow doesn't.

* In the original pilot episode, Zordon's name was Zoltar. Zoltar is the name of the main villain in Battle of the Planets and G-Force: Guardians of Space. It was also the name of a fortune-telling machine in the Tom Hanks movie, Big.

* Jason David Frank (Tommy) was never meant to stay on the series for as long as he did, He was only supposed to be a regular until "The Green Candle Part 2" minus a cameo in "Doomsday Part 2". but during his temporary time on the show his popularity was higher than any other Ranger. Saban received large amounts of letters daily after "The Green Candle" requesting Tommy to be brought back into the series, Eventually the company gave in and brought Frank back in the episode "Return of an Old Friend." and ended up staying on the show lasting till "Power Rangers Turbo" (1997) and recently in returning for "Power Rangers DinoThunder" (2004). He has appeared in a total of 217 episodes in the entire Power Rangers series.

* Although the Ninja Megazord appears before the Shogun Megazord in 'Power Rangers', the exact opposite occurred in "Ninja sentai Kakurenjâ" (1994), one of the Japanese 'sentai' series from which 'Power Rangers' was adapted. Additionally, the Ninja Ultrazord and Shogun Ultrazord combinations, which used Titanus, never appeared in any Japanese productions, as Titanus only appeared in "Kyôryû sentai Juurenjâ" (1992). Instead, the combinations used stills of the either the Ninja Mega Falconzord or the Shogun Mega Falconzord toys standing inside a Titanus toy.

* The pre television pilot version of the first episode, 'Day of the Dumpster', was shown on the Fox Kids programming block in 1999. There are several differences between it and the tv series: -'Trini' was played by a different actress, Audri Dubois, and was completely different personality (and nationality) wise to the 'Trini Kwan' in the TV series played by Thuy Trang. -'Zordon' was named 'Zoltar' and the image of his head in a tube was also blurred and somewhat pulsating. -There was no Juice bar (and hence no Ernie). Instead the Earth based scene took place in a bowling alley. -The Command Center's interior had different control panels and lighting. -The plating on Alpha 5's upper torso was notably larger and didn't have the familiar "lightning bolt" logo. -'Flyguy', renamed 'King Sphinx' for his eventual appearance in the TV series, appeared in the episode to battle the rangers with 'Goldar'. -The Dinozords were known as Dinodroids'. -There was a Bulk character, but no Skull character. Instead there were three other bullies/punks alongside Bulk.

* Despite being in his debut episode "A Pressing Engagement", the monster King Sphinx was never able to appear in U.S. footage because the monster costume did not hold up well after being used in production. However, the head of his suit would later appear as a background prop at Zoom Comics in another live-action Fox Kids series by Saban Entertainment, "Big Bad Beetleborgs" (1996).

* While the work schedule for the show ran Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, filming actually ran seven days a week for the actors who played the Power Rangers. The six Ranger actors had to come in on the weekends for dialog recording for their characters' Power Rangers battle scenes and the recording sessions often ran late into the night.

# "Zeo" originally was to stand for "Zordon of Eltar's Odyssey", in reference to the Power Rangers' alien mentor. It was changed to just an alien term for a power crystal, which was introduced in the latter part of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."

# Both versions of Dischordia (first version from Kakuranger never used in the U.S.) are visible in Gasket's Machine Arena during King for a Day, as two separate characters.

# Former story editor of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, season one Power Rangers Turbo, and current producer of Power Rangers Ninja Storm and Power Rangers DinoThunder Douglas Sloan provided the voice of Prince Gasket.

* The film was directed by sci-fi veteran David Winning; although through a contractual dispute, he only received co-credit with the producer and no editing influence. Debut of the Turbo Ranger powers, the Turbo Morphers, the five Turbozords, the Turbo Weapons, the Turbo Megazord formation, Divatox, Elgar, Rygog, and the Subcraft.

* Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam) and Jason David Frank (Tommy) are the only two cast members to serve as Power Rangers for both movies. Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and Steve Cardenas (Rocky) also appeared in both Power Rangers films, but they were not active Ranger members in this film.

* An original script had the Rangers encounter a new ally, Mandika the mermaid. She was described in the script as a girl with alabaster skin, blue and black hair that trails over her bare chest, a silver tail and she would have spoken with a strange voice. She would have already known Zordon and Alpha 5 and was sent to help them find the Ghost Galleon ship, as well as help out throughout the story. All of the scenes were apparently shot, but cut out of the final film.

* Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and Austin St. John (Jason) were originally considered to reprise their roles not as captives of Divatox, but to serve as the Pink and Red Turbo Rangers when Nakia Burrise and Jason David Frank reportedly wanted to leave the series. This would have had Catherine Sutherland take over as the Yellow Turbo Ranger with the return of Jason and Kimberly to the "Power Rangers Turbo" TV series following the film. However, the idea was rejected when both actors declined, due to the exhausting work hours of the TV series.

* An original shooting script for this movie was originally going to include a romance between former Power Rangers Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) and Kimberly Ann Hart (Amy Jo Johnson). This would serve as a possible reason why both Kimberly's boyfriend and Jason's girlfriend Emily from "Power Rangers Zeo" were not mentioned or present for the film. While the romance was written out, the concerned and loving glances between Jason and Kimberly remain present throughout the film and it is believed that they end up dating during the movie and/or after the movie takes place.

* In an original draft of the script, after Jason (Austin St. John) and Kimberly (Amy Jo Johnson) had been turned evil when they were sacrificed into Maligore's pit, it would have been revealed that they would have had enhanced strength as a result. This explains why they are able to fight the Turbo Rangers with ease and why Tommy is struggling when an evil Jason tries to strangle him. However, the scene with the explanation was cut due to the film's allowed running time.

* After Jason helps Kimberly escape the bilge of Divatox's craft, she was actually supposed to lose consciousness from lack of air and sink into the ocean. After Mandika the mermaid, a character that was supposed to be used in the film, saves Bulk and Skull by giving them a log to use so they can swim to Muranthias, Mandika saves Kimberly from drowning and takes her to shore. While the sequence and all footage of Mandika were cut, the epilogue of the scene remains when it shows an exhausted Kimberly on the beach and she is found by the native tribal warriors on the shore. This explains why Bulk and Skull aren't as tired as Kimberly when she arrives on the island.

* During the sequence in Africa when Tommy saves Katherine, after he takes her to shore, Tommy was actually supposed to be attacked by a crocodile. He would have been dragged into the water by his Power Box backpack when the crocodile grabs it in its jaws, but he manages to jam a nearby log into the animal's mouth and swims to shore. When the crocodile follows Tommy to shore, Katherine takes a blow torch from her Power Box and fires a torch to scare the crocodile away. The sequence was ultimately cut to keep the running time of the film short. This is explains why there is a photo of Katherine holding a flame thrower on the back of the back cover of the movie's VHS and DVD, but it isn't seen in the film.

* The original running time for the movie was 3 hours, but half of the movie was cut because the crew thought it was too long. To this day, all of the deleted footage has yet to be released and seen.

* David Yost was originally supposed to depart the "Power Rangers" series with this movie, but this was written out when Yost left during filming of "Power Rangers Zeo".

* According to an interview with Johnny Yong Bosch, the actor explains that the early script contained a scene where the Zeo Rangers were completely trashed during a fight with Divatox's Piranatrons. Their suits, weapons, and Zords were destroyed as a result, although the Zeo crystal remained whole, and so the Rangers would have to create the Turbo Powers. This is scene was apparently filmed but never released to the public, and was instead replaced with Katherine (Catherine Sutherland) attempting to morph into the Pink Zeo Ranger as she falls into the water.

* The crew originally wanted Walter Jones to appear in the film and reprise his role as Zack Taylor, the original Black Power Ranger. However, Jones declined when he learned he would have had to give up his Screen Actors Guild card in order to join the film.

* During the sequence when Katherine (Catherine Sutherland) is hanging off a cliff in an African jungle, it started to snow while they filmed the scene. She was told by the crew not to breathe because they could see the condensation.

* Nakia Burrise (Tanya) was supposed to hit one of the Putrapod monsters with a cannon on the Ghost Galleon ship, but when she did the cannon went overboard from the ship. The crew had to stop filming and rescue the cannon from the water in order to continue the scene.

* This marks the final appearance of Ernie as Richard Genelle leaves the series. However, his character Ernie will not depart until the 'Power Rangers Turbo' TV series when Lt. Stone mentions he has left the Juice Bar.

* Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa were originally planned to be the main villains with Divatox later returning to join them.

* Steve Cardenas was injured while performing a stunt towards the end of Power Rangers Zeo and as a result had to leave the show.

* The plasma tubes in the of the Power Chamber back are now the rangers colors instead of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers suits and weapons.

* The season finale features the destruction and final appearance of the Power Chamber and the original Command Center exterior the base of the Power Rangers since the show began.

* This is the first season to feature cars as Zords that the Rangers can also drive on the road as well.

* TJ, Cassie, Ashley, and Carlos are the final Power Rangers in the show's history (thus far) to gain a new power source after losing their previous ones.

* In the episode Shell Shocked, the stars of Saban's short-lived live action series, "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" (Raphael, Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, & Venus) guest star on this episode. None of their voice or hero-suit actors from that series were involved, due to it being a Canadian show, and this being a California-based one.

* In the episode A Wasp With A Heart, Waspicable is a slightly repainted Grumble Bee monster, with added wings.

* In the episode Grandma Matchmaker, Ashley's last name, Hammond, is stated here onscreen with the naming of her Grandmother as "Mrs. Hammond", confirming what official documents had already stated to be her last name.

* Onyx, a desert planet with a western style town on it, makes its debut. It's the hub of evil space aliens, where dozens of old and not yet seen monsters can be seen hanging around the tavern. Among the recognizable monsters there are Quantrons, Tengas, Octophantom, Sinister Simian, Batarax, the Snow Monster from "Storybook Rangers," Dischordia's dress form, Marvo the Meanie, Psycho-Monster Yellow, Piranhatrons, a Chromite, a Cog, a Z-Putty, Coralizer, Punchabunch, Stag Beetle, Dreadfeather, a Varox, an unnamed Cicadia monster, and even the unnamed white smudgy monster from "Aliens Rangers of Aquitar (1)". Aside from numerous alien humans and mutants, a few suits from Beetleborgs (like Triplesaurus Rex, Terror Bear, the Stego Dreg), and even a Maggot from Masked Rider are also seen. Also, there was a monster that had the body of Hammerhands and the hands of Mean Screen.

* The Mega Voyager is the first Megazord to lack the word "Zord" in its name.

* In the episode A Date With Danger, the film the Rangers go to see, "Star Crossed Lovers", will be re-made in PRLG's "Double Duty".

* Two versions of the episode A Date With Danger were shot, and scenes from the unused version can be seen in the "next time on" and "previously on" segments in episodes surrounding this. The most notable change is Astronema's demeanor to Zhane is a lot tougher.

* Johnny Yong Bosch also filmed the "Power Playback: Funniest Power Rangers Moments" special while doing the episode Always A Chance.

* In the episode Always A Chance, Lizwizard's name was originally "Wizlizard" during filming. It was changed in post-production, though in some instances, you can see mouth-movements match the pronouncing of his original name.

* In the episode Always A Chance, the song that plays during the montage of Adam & Carlos working out, is an instrumental of a song called "Strike!" from Saban's VR Troopers.

* This series debuted the Battlized Red Ranger power-up, which started the tradition of yearly Ranger (usually Red) power-ups.

* Footage from "A Line In The Sand"'s preview of Countdown To Destruction, which didn't make it in the final cut, included the KO-35 rebels facing an army of Paranatrons & Quanatrons.

* Coutdown To Destruction features cameos by the five Aquitian Rangers from "MIGHTY MORPHIN' ALIEN RANGERS", the Gold Ranger from "POWER RANGERS ZEO", and Blue Senturion & Phantom Ranger from "POWER RANGERS TURBO".

* Countdown To Destruction was filmed as a three part saga by Saban. Resulting in this season having 44 episodes. However Fox only approved 43 episodes for the season. So all three parts were cut and merged into two. Among the rumored cuts were extra fight scenes and the Phantom Ranger being unmasked.

* When morphing, the message at the top right of the "MORPHING COMPLETE" screen appears to say, if paused,: TIGHTEN UP REALITY GANGSTER STIGMA THROUGH IDIOT HEARING KEEP FRUSTRATION CLEAR PATIENCE OPEN AHEAD GETTING AWAY WITH IT LEAD SOME DISTANT MEMORY DRONE GET THE MESSAGE ...and several other lines that aren't clear. This screen is shown for only about a second, so it can be assumed that the meaning of the lines are gibberish, since reading them while watching is nearly impossible.

* This marks the first season of Power Rangers where they couldn't teleport themselves to their headquarters.

* This is the first season of Power Rangers where a Ranger is related to the villain.

* The device Mike uses to change into the Magna Defender is an Aurachanger from "Gosei sentai Dairanger" (1993).

* Mid-way through the season Pink Ranger actress 'Valerie Vernon' was diagnosed with leukemia and was replaced by Melody Perkins (Astronema) for almost the remainder of the series.

* The battle gear from the premiere was taken from Starship Troopers (1997).

* After Power Rangers in Space, Jason Narvy, Skull, decided to go back to school. So they wrote him out of the series. That's why he only appeared in the first episode.

* Planet Onyx is featured in this series as well as the tavern whom are last seen in "Power Rangers: In Space." Monsters from past series have been seen here like in the last series as well as previous monsters seen in this series. In "Heir to the Throne," Rhinoblaster, Fearog, Waspicable, a Barillian Bug, Termitus, Destructoid, Soccadillo, Beetleborgs' Ultra Vulture and Stego Dreg, and Masked Rider's Maggot were seen at the Onyx Tavern. In "Protect the Quaser Saber", Oysterizer, Flamite, Marvo the Meanie, Sinister Simian, two Pirahnatrons, Soccadillo, Termitus, Crocotox Red, the Shark Brothers, the unnamed Blue Beetle monster, the as-yet unintroduced Decibat, Aunt Ant from "Heir to the Throne", the alien card dealer from "Flashes of Darkonda", and Beetleborgs' Furocious appear at the auction.

* When Valerie Vernon was going to be replaced, the producers offered Patrica Ja Lee, the opportunity to reprise her character from PR: In Space/ Turbo. She was willing to reprise her role, but they couldn't agree on the contract. So they asked Melody Perkins if she was available.

# The Titanium Ranger character was created specifically for the American incarnation of the show and did not had a Japanese counterpart. The original Japanese show, Go Go V, did not have a sixth ranger. However, in the Go Go V movie, it did feature a transforming sixth member, the Demon Hunter, who died in battle but gave his powers to the Tatsumi's friend, Ryoko, who wanted to be part of the Go Go V team got her chance to despite fighting for only 15 some odd seconds.

# In the final episode, one of the monsters seen in the Demon Underworld is Eyeguy from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

# This is the first season of Power Rangers to feature two siblings as fellow Rangers.

* In "The Quantum Quest", Nadira is seen crying over an episode of "Masked Rider" (1995) on television at Ransik's lair. Masked Rider was an earlier Saban series that spun-off from the original Power Rangers series.

* Last series produced under Saban Entertainment.

* Jason Faunt's girlfriend is the first tavern wench visible as Trip and Wes enter the saloon, in Movie Madness pt. 1

* Atlantis is currently located in the South China Sea, in the PR universe (Power Rangers Time Force: Time Blaster Ride)

* In Force From The Future: Part 1, there's a big edit during the pre-credits scene. Ransik prepares to rush into the small time portal, and suddenly, we see him on the opposite side, as the Red Ranger enters holding his badge. Early promotions for this episode showed that Alex threw his Chrono-Saber at the time portal console, causing it to explode, and for Ransik to rush through the empty portal loop.

* In the courtroom scene, an Aquitian, a water-dwelling member of the alien race from planet Aquitar ("Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers"), is shown in the crowd.

* Gluto, while the comic relief henchmutant here, was the lead villain in Mirai Sentai Timeranger.

* In the episode Ransik lives the mutant's name, Fearog, was the same name of a monster in the Power Rangers In Space episode "The Great Evilyzer". That creature was never named onscreen, though.

* In the episode A Blue Streak, the cop who pulls Lucas over has a nametag with the name "B Mitchell" on it, a possible reference to Captain William Mitchell of PRLR. Similarly, Mr. Picketts shares a last name with Kendrix lookalike Carolyn Picketts from PRLG.

* Digit was Circuit's name originally, and in fact, was his name until the week before the first episode aired. ADR dubbing has corrected this from being too apparent on the show, at least. How far into the series they called him Digit is unknown.

* Jen makes a PR first, by using the word 'death', in this line, "I WON'T let his DEATH be in vain!"

* In the episode Uniquely TripTraci, the woman Trip failed to impress, was played by the same lady who portrayed shuttle pilot Nancy Cooper in PRLR.

* In Clash For Control, The Tyrannosaurus Rex attacking Eric & Wes in this episode was apparently a mix of animatronics and stop-motion. Other dinosaurs were animatronics (such as the Stegosaurus & Triceratops), while a few were CGI (the Pteradactyle).

* In The Legend Of The Clock Tower, the notion of an English Colony in Revolution-era California is nothing new to Power Rangers. Colonial Angel Grove was featured in Season 2's "Return Of The Green Ranger". This episode seems to reference that weird bit of alternate history.

* In Trust And Triumph, A line by Circuit, announcing a "Mutant at the Trade Center!" was changed to "Mutant at the Industrial Center!" after the September 11th attacks.

* An Interesting note is that Dragontron's Original name in the Timeranger version is the G-Zord which is the first time a Power Ranger term was used on a Sentai Program

* In Time For Lightspeed, First team-up (in either PR or Sentai) to feature two full 6-Ranger teams, making up a 12 Ranger encounter.

* The episode Circuit Unsure, was dedicated to the memory of Thuy Trang, the original Yellow Ranger, who died September 3rd

* With this series, Judd Lynn left the Power Rangers production team, having been with the show in one role or another since it began, and having been Story Editor since PRT, writing more episodes than anyone else.

* The Visual Scanners that the Rangers wear are Oakley sunglasses.

# First Power Rangers series under the newly-renamed BVS Entertainment, formerly known as Saban Entertainment, after News Corporation (parent company of 20th Century Fox and the Fox Broadcasting Company) and Haim Saban (founder of Saban Entertainment and executive producer of the series) sold Fox Family Worldwide to the Walt Disney Company the franchise's new owner that renamed FFW as ABC Family.

# Though the Fox network aired it for the first half of the series, "Wild Force" was the only Power Rangers series to air on ABC for the remainder of the series. Later, ABC aired "Power Rangers Ninja Storm", which became the very first Power Rangers series to air on that network rather than Fox.

* This is the first Power Rangers series to be filmed on location outside of the United States.

* The second season to feature two siblings as fellow Power Rangers.

* This is the second season to feature a villain that is related to at least one of the main characters.

* The first Power Rangers season since Turbo to not feature rangers returning from the previous season (Adam and Justin from Power Rangers Turbo returned during in Space, and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy started the team-up tradition).

* This was the very first Power Rangers series to air on ABC instead of Fox, after Disney's acquisition of Fox Family (now ABC Family) - which included Saban Entertainment (now BVS) and the Power Rangers franchise - from News Corporation and Haim Saban. Though, ABC aired season two of "Power Rangers Wild Force" after its previous season on Fox.

* Because the show is directed at the U.S. market and most of the cast are either Australians or New Zealanders, the actors adopt American accents to cover their native ones.

* New Zealand, the country where this series is being filmed, hasn't aired any Power Rangers series on television since the original in 1994, due to "violence" concerns.

* First incarnation of PR to only have one female ranger.

* The Dino gems give the Rangers a superpower (other than morphing):
o Red-super speed
o Yellow-a sonic "ptera scream"
o Blue-invulnerable "Dino skin"
o Black-invisibility
o White-camouflage


* This marks the third season that features a villain that is related to one of the main characters.

* Dr. Oliver is always seen wearing long sleeve shirts because the actor who portrays him, Jason David Frank, has tattoos on his arms.

* Cassidy's middle name is Agnes.

* Dreamgirl23 is Cassidy's screen name.

* This marks the first time that a villain from a previous season returned as a different character.

* According to Ethan, Dr. Oliver's street address is 1992 Valencia Road.

 

I loved this show.
