Guys! I found a site with soooooo much information for every series of Power Rangers! It includes stuff like Lord Zedd is Jewish, Leo was supposed to be killed off in Forever Red! WOAH! Just read!
MMPR:
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" 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 "Ky?ry? sentai Juurenj?" (1992), upon which Power Rangers was based.
This series is an Americanized version of a Japanese Super Sentai series called "Ky?ry? sentai Juurenj?" (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."
The suits of several monsters were modified in some fashion in order to create new monsters for American footage. Such monsters were: Pudgy Pig was disassembled, and parts were used for Turkey Jerk in Season 2's "Storybook Rangers." Mr. Ticklesneezer was repainted and clad in a Santa Claus-like suit, becoming Grumble the Elf in Season 2's "Storybook Rangers." Snizard was repainted and modified with a cobra hood to become the Cobra Monster in "Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue" (2000)'s "The Cobra Strikes." Chunky Chicken was also disassembled for use in Turkey Jerk. Grumble Bee was repainted and given buck teeth to become Waspicable in "Power Rangers In Space" (1998)'s "The Wasp With A Heart." Primator was repainted and given extra fur, and became the Snow Monster in Season 2's "Storybook Rangers." Salaguana was disassembled into the reptillian parts of Triter from "Power Rangers Zeo" (1996)'s "King For A Day." Silver Horns was repainted and a tongue was added, becoming Repellator in Season 3's "A Friend In Need." Merrick the Barbaric's head was removed, and his body was used for Incisorator in the Season 3 episode, "Changing Of The Zords" (ironically, Incisorator's episode aired before Merrick's).
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 Kakurenj?" (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.
Zeo:
"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 Dino Thunder Douglas Sloan provided the voice of Prince Gasket.
Turbo:
Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa were originally planned to be the main villains for "Power Rangers Turbo," with Divatox later returning to join them.
In Space:
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.
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.
Lost Galaxy:
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).
Lightspeed Rescue:
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. Although the Titanium Ranger was US exculsive, all the footage was shot by the filmers of Sentai and there was indeed, like the other Rangers, a Japanese stuntman in the suit.
In the final episode, one of the monsters seen in the Demon Underworld is Eyeguy from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Time Force:
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
Wild Force:
In the original script for the episode "Team Carnival," the Wild Force Rangers were going to receive the Jungle Blaster in the mail, having been sent from Tommy (Jason David Frank).
In the Red Ranger reunion episode, "Forever Red," there were several things planned that didn't make it.
1. Katherine (Catherine Sutherland) was going to make an appearance, as Tommy's wife.
2. Eric and Wes were going to contact Trip (Kevin Kleinberg) in the year 3000 to see if their fight against the Machine Empire changes anything in the timeline.
3. A scene between Tommy and Alpha 7 on the Megaship was cut.
4. Leo, the Red Galaxy Ranger, was originally going to be killed off.
5. Instead of simply having Cole use the Wild Rider to destroy Serpentera, each Red Ranger was going to summon one of their Zords for the battle.
First Power Rangers series under the newly-renamed BVS Entertainment after News Corporation (parent of 20th Century Fox and Fox Broadcasting) and Haim Saban (founder of Saban Entertainment and executive producer of the series) sold Fox Family Worldwide to the series' new owner Disney, which re-launched FFW under the new name of ABC Family.
Though Fox aired it for season one, "Wild Force" was the only Power Rangers series to air on ABC for season two. Later, ABC aired "Power Rangers Ninja Storm", which became the very first Power Rangers series to air on that network rather than Fox.
Ninja Storm:
This is the first Power Rangers series to be filmed on location outside of the United States.
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.
The first in the Power Rangers series not to guest star characters from the previous series.
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
Dino Thunder:
In the episode "Diva In Distress", the song "Space Girl" plays during Kylee Styles' mall appearance. This was the same song that Kapri and Marah lip-synched to during their talent show audition in Part 2 of "Shimazu Returns" during "Power Rangers Ninja Storm."
The commemorating 500th Power Rangers episode is titled "Legacy of Power" when the DinoThunder Rangers find Tommy's video diary of his Power Ranger past as the(Green Ranger, White Ranger, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger) and revealing other Power Ranger teams.
In the finale of Power Rangers Ninja Storm, James Robertson appeared briefly as a new student, who arrived late and seemed a bit inept. In the Dino Thunder episode "Legacy Of Power", Red Ranger refers to the appearance claiming that his twin brother went to a secret ninja school, and washed out.
How do ya like THAT then? :D XD Beats MagiRanger news any day in my books :P
