History Funny / PowerRangers2017

* The reason for the ProductPlacement being so blatant: the director and writer thought it would be funny for something so powerful to have ended up underneath something so mundane and their first pitch of this idea was that the crystal was under a [=McDonalds=].

-->'''Kimberly:'' [[CallItKarma That's what you get!]]

** Of course, [[HarsherInHindsight this becomes less funny on a second watch]] after the campfire scene and Trini all but admitting she's gay, or at the very least, some kind of LGBT. Her mother slammed that drug test cup on the table ''immediately'' and having a parent that neurotic and controlling while being in the closet can't have been pleasant for her.

-->'''Billy:''' Yeah, are we more like Franchise/IronMan or Franchise/SpiderMan?

** Rita exits the movie [[ATwinkleInTheSky Team Rocket style after being backhand slapped by Megazord through the ''goddamn Exosphere''!]] Weird, right?

** On the other side, Kimberly sits down, says one thing to him, and then gets back up without waiting for a response like some twin-tailed ojou in an anime. That she can't be bothered to associate with what she obviously considers to be people beneath her notice is funny in itself.

* The mid-credits scene: a teacher calls out Tommy Oliver's name and he's not at his desk. The camera starts going down the hall... and a locker ''explodes''. You can hear Billy then apologize [[BrickJoke "That might have been my fault. [[CallBack That might have been my fault.]] I'm so sorry!"]]

* Kimberly asking for some of Trini's water [[spoiler: so she can yank her into the pit that the others have just jumped into.]] And she [[ApologeticAttacker apologizes before doing so.]]

* The fact that ''everyone'' seems to call Trini "Deedee", including Zack, Billy's Mom, and even [[spoiler: ''Rita''.]]

** Of course, [[HarsherInHindsight this becomes less funny on a second watch]] after the campfire scene and [[spoiler: Trini all but admitting she's gay, or at the very least, some kind of LGBT.]] Her mother slammed that drug test cup on the table ''immediately'' and having a parent that neurotic and controlling while [[spoiler: being in the closet]] can't have been pleasant for her.

* Billy asking the others [[spoiler: if he died]]. Trini says "yes", while Kim says "no" at the same time. The girls glare at each other for their answers while Zack chimes in with "a little bit".

'''Rita:''' It must be. The [[spoiler: source of life is buried there.]]
** When Billy reveals the location of [[spoiler: The Zeo Crystal]], you can see Zack look up with a bewildered look in the background and mouth the words "Krispy Kreme?", as if he's asking "Seriously?"

* Jason bitch-slapping the bully. Later, [[spoiler:he does the same to Rita]].
** [[spoiler:Rita exits the movie [[ATwinkleInTheSky Team Rocket style]] after being backhand slapped by Megazord through the ''goddamn Exosphere''!]] Weird, right?

* [[spoiler:Creator/AmyJoJohnson's and Creator/JasonDavidFrank's cameo]] right after Rita is defeated. They stare along with other bystanders [[spoiler: ([[ActorAllusion wearing their signature Mighty Morphin' colors no less]])]] for a few seconds before they all simultaneously take out their phones to start taking pictures.

* The mid-credits scene: [[spoiler:a teacher calls out Tommy Oliver's name and he's not at his desk. The camera starts going down the hall... and a locker ''explodes''. You can hear Billy then apologize [[BrickJoke "That might have been my fault.]] [[CallBack That might have been my fault.]] I'm so sorry!"]]

** [[spoiler:Rita exits the movie [[ATwinkleInTheSky Team Rocket style]] after being backhand slapped by Megazord through the ''goddamn Exosphere''!]] Weird, isn't it?

* The Rangers, having just formed the Megazord, charge at Goldar... and fall flat on their face, as the Megazord uses a different control scheme, reminiscent of Shinji's first run in Eva 01 in Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion. They also take a moment to shout at each other which part they're controlling, which seems to be a nod to a similar gag in ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender''.

*** She also tweets other Creator/{{Lionsgate}} movie Twitters, saying [[Film/TheHungerGames President Snow]] was [[https://twitter.com/ThePowerRangers/status/803339850678091776 onto something and volunteers the Rangers as Tributes]] [[Creator/ElizabethBanks (quite the unexpected]] ActorAllusion) and wanting to [[https://twitter.com/ThePowerRangers/status/803365279409598464 sink her teeth]] into [[{{Twilight}} Edward]].

** Of course, [[HarsherInHindsight this becomes less funny on a second watch]] after the campfire scene and [[spoiler: Trini all but admitting she's gay.]] Her mother slammed that drug test cup on the table ''immediately'' and having a parent that neurotic and controlling while [[spoiler: being in the closet]] can't have been pleasant for her.

* After Rita's defeat, people around Angel Grove are celebrating, including Trini's little brothers who are arguing about which Ranger they get to play as. Trini suggests the yellow ranger, [[MythologyGag and the brothers]] [[ShesAManInJapan say he's pretty cool.]] [[SamusIsAGirl Trini asks how they know it's a guy.]]

* One scene has Trini tear off Kimberly's graffiti-covered locker door. As they leave together, Trini tosses it aside; Kimberly's astonished face is priceless. Then, as it clangs to the floor offscreen (loudly), they look self-conscious, smile nervously, look at each other, and break into a run.

* The HilariousOuttakes are amusing enough, but Alpha 5 spending about 30 seconds asking the Rangers increasingly bizarre questions is a highlight.

** [[spoiler:Rita exits the movie [[ATwinkleInTheSky Team Rocket style]] after being pimp slapped by Megazord!]] Weird, isn't it?

-->'''Billy:''' Yeah, are we more like [[Franchise/IronMan Iron Man]] or {{Franchise/SpiderMan}}?

** Even Better? Some people theorized that Trini's mother was going to be possessed by Rita because she sounded like Elizabeth Banks and how the cup has a GREEN lid.

*** The Blu-Ray contains a deleted scene showing an expanded version of this as the two spot a couple at a table staring at them...played by Jason David Frank and Amy Jo Johnson.

* [[spoiler:Amy Jo Johnson's and Jason David Frank's cameo]] right after Rita is defeated. They stare along with other bystanders [[spoiler: ([[ActorAllusion wearing their signature Mighty Morphin' colors no less]])]] for a few seconds before they all simultaneously take out their phones to start taking pictures.

* The first time any of the Ranger actors met Elizabeth Banks was the day they filmed the nightmare vision sequence, Elizabeth was nice and friendly then had to pretend to drain the life out of them.

** When Billy reveals the location of [[spoiler: The Zeo Crystal]], you can see Zack mouth the words "Krispy Kreme?" in the background, as if he's asking "Seriously?"
