Stock Footage Failure / Power Rangers

Taking battle footage and some locations from Super Sentai, all series of Power Rangers have to match locations, clothing, and even actors with their counterparts from a different series to convince us we're still looking at the same people, places, and things from one shot to the next. Often it works... but this show's the only one with a Stock Footage Failure sub-page to itself for a reason.

---

General

• Outfits regularly change during the transformation sequences, since they were usually not wearing the same civilian outfit as they were in the stock footage, with shirt colors suddenly changing, skirts becoming pants, accessories vanishing, hairstyles changing, and in at least one case, a shirt appearing. Later seasons handwaved it by having the stock footage of them be of them in a uniform, and make sure that the character was wearing the uniform in the new footage before morphing.
• In the early seasons, you could tell when it was stock footage because the camera quality was grainier. Later seasons were perfectly clear, to the point of some people being unable to tell when the show is using stock footage, and when it is not, particularly when a ranger morphs and does not go through the usual Transformation Sequence, though there are still a few giveaways, one obvious one is that, whenever the US teams makes their own version of the costumes, for some reason, they almost inevitable use a much brighter shade of pink.
  • As far as newer seasons go, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive is possibly the one exception. In the Sentai footage, the rangers are much bulkier, plus the shoulder pads and chest insignia on their costumes are way smaller. Compare the suits in the stock footage◊ to the suits in the American footage.
• Sometimes outfit tweaks are visible. Nadira's outfit covers less than Lira's, Marah's hair is black while Furabijou's is brown, and in Power Rangers Samurai, it's very distracting to see Octoroo go from having his tentacles completely covering his face to being parted to reveal his mouth.
• Power Rangers actors don't always physically match up with the suit actors in the Sentai footage^note Though there is In-Universe precedent for morphing to alter the user's body type, such as Justin from Turbo, so some of these could be chalked up to something similar happening that just isn't directly addressed by the show.:
  • Aljin Abella was the shortest member of the Power Rangers Jungle Fury cast, yet was cast as the Blue Ranger, who was the tallest in Juken Sentai Gekiranger. Theo grew about a foot every time he morphed.
  • Zack in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers grew back a missing finger when he morphed.
  • In Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Blake appears noticeably smaller in original footage, due to his Sentai counterpart, Isshu Kasumi, being a bit taller and slightly more muscular than he is. This is especially obvious when he is on screen with Hunter, as Hunter has at least a few inches on Blake, while Isshu and Hunter's counterpart, Ikkou, are roughly the same height.
  • Daggeron from Power Rangers Mystic Force seemed to lose about 40 pounds when he morphed.
  • Chrystiane Lopes as the Power Rangers Ninja Steel Pink Ranger. She is significantly shorter than the rest of the cast, including White Ranger Zoe Robins. In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Yuka Yano (the White Ranger actress) was the shortest member while Kasumi Yamaya (who played the Pink Ranger) was a similar height to the others.
• Characters that weren't adapted to Power Rangers had slipped into the used stock footage. Eg. Zonnette was seen piloting the Divazord, Shibolena was clearly seen when Red Ecliptor was destroyed, some reported that Shelinda was briefly seen on Mutiny's ship and Basco was briefly seen in combat in his monster form while the Super Megaforce Rangers were fighting Mavro.^note this was due to the fact that in the corresponding Gokaiger episode, Basco betrayed Damaras
• Sentai had shifted to HD widescreen starting with GoGo Sentai Boukenger but Power Rangers didn't with Operation Overdrive (they would only do so with Samurai four years later). Sometimes they could get away with the Sentai footage being zoomed in, but sometimes it was just plain squashed like a bad YouTube video.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

• Particularly noticeable when the Rangers first use their Power Weapons in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. The Zyurangers each used their respective weapons while unmorphed, which would then transform when they morphed. Thus the American series has the Rangers inexplicably holding random weapons that are then 'powered up'. The weapons transforming is seen in the opening of every episode of season 1!
• Variation in "Day of the Dumpster"; Billy can be seen with his communicators on his wrists during Jason’s karate lesson, despite the fact that he wouldn't invent them until the next episode. This is because it was originally shot for a later episode “Dark Warrior”.
• In "High Five", the shot of Dora Titan disappearing at the end of the previous Zyuranger episode is played backwards to show the giant arriving in the city. However, he's inexplicably holding the space shuttle/time warp device, and Rita's palace can be seen on Earth in the background when it was on the moon in Power Rangers. Also, there are a few quick shots of the rangers holding the space shuttle, which in Power Rangers is a time warp device that was already destroyed.
• In "Teamwork", although Kimberly's call for her Dinozord was unused because in Zyuranger there was a kid of the week in frame that would have confused viewers, said boy can still be seen in a single wide shot.
• "Big Sisters" has Rita hold a little girl captive. Although she wears the same clothes as her Japanese counterpart, she clearly becomes Asian in brief shots. One wonders why they didn't just hire an Asian child to play the part.
• In "I, Eye Guy," footage of Eye Guy's Sentai counterpart capturing a young Japanese girl is treated as a Flashback to the creature's previous attack on an alien world called Redna 2 (why the alien child looks exactly like a human and is obviously wearing modern Earth clothing obviously isn't addressed). However, when Billy is later blasted by Eye Guy, the little girl in question can briefly be seen on the ground behind him, as she was actually the Victim of the Week in the original Zyuranger episode that was adapted here.
• In "For Whom the Bell Trolls" a giant Japanese boy can be briefly be seen behind the Megazord in one shot.
• In the original "Green With Evil" storyline, footage of Burai from Zyuranger was used to represent Tommy being transformed into the Green Ranger by Rita. The audience was apparently supposed to ignore that "Tommy" is clearly Asian (and with short hair instead of his trademark mullet; highly obvious even when in silhouette) for a few seconds when he first appears in Rita's fortress.
• It's been widely noted that the scene where the Green Ranger first sits up is definitely Burai: though Burai's got shoulderpads in civilian form they're nowhere near big enough to be the ones from the Ranger suit, and his hair can clearly be seen moving, so not a helmet. And if we were really supposed to take a silhouetted Burai for a morphed Tommy, then the next shot should not have had an unmorphed Tommy.
• In "The Rockstar", the unmorphed Blue Zyuranger, Dan, is plainly visible for several seconds, in the background of a shot with the Black Ranger in the foreground.
• "Lions and Blizzards" reuses shots of the Command Center from the earlier episode "Switching Places", meaning the Genie's magic lamp that was destroyed in that episode is visible sitting on the main console.
• When they have a closeup of their morphers or weapons during the scenes that used stock footage, you can sometimes see the word "Zyuranger" printed on them.
• The Green Ranger's shield is noticeably bigger and softer in the American footage. Sometimes episodes will have Tommy's suit change shields multiple times from scene to scene or even shot to shot because of this.
• The second season of MMPR brought in a lot of changes to the show, but the production team were still forced to deal with the leftovers of season one. In many of the Megazord battles featuring the Thunder Megazord, one may notice that the Megazord and the monster are never in the same frame as each other, and mostly use projectile attacks and basic stock-footage punches. This is because these monsters originate from "Zyu2" footage and were originally filmed fighting the first season's Megazord. The stock footage drifts into "failure" status when you occasionally see shots of the previous Megazord's Power Sword, the Megazord's fists and sometimes, the Megazord in full. Eventually the show began adapting the Gosei Sentai Dairanger monsters and full Megazord battles returned, but the show was still occasionally forced to use stock footage battles, most notably in the three-part episode "The Wedding".
• During the third season of MMPR, the show began adapting footage from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. This caused a bit of a problem, as the crew now had to work around the fact that there was no Pink Ranger analogue in Kakuranger, since Tsuruhime, the lone girl character, wore white rather than pink. When the Shogunzords began showing up in the Western toy line, Tsuruhime's Zord was recolored pink so that it would match up with Katherine, the American Pink Ranger, even though the footage used in MMPR still had the Zord as white. Normally, an inaccurate toy wouldn't have been much cause for concern, but the color scheme became an issue when it came time to use the Shogun Ultrazord, a special transformation that did not exist in Kakuranger, and thus had to be filmed by using the toys. This created a situation where you could clearly tell which shots were filmed in Japan and which were filmed in America, as the American footage would have the Ultrazord's right arm (Katherine's Zord) inexplicably change from white to pink with zero explanation.
  • Additionally, the Shogun Megazord's chestplate was different, having a symbol in Japanese in the Japanese stock footage, and a stylized lightning bolt in American.

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

• During the Magna Defender's flashback to the death of his son in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, there's a brief moment where instead of Scorpius, Captain Mutiny can be seen for a few seconds. This is because Captain Mutiny's counterpart in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman was the Big Bad, while in Lost Galaxy, he was demoted to a secondary villain and Scorpius was created in his stead, but given the same connection to the Magna Defender.

Power Rangers Time Force

• Particularly bad in Power Rangers Time Force, where Mirai Sentai Timeranger stock footage is used in several scenes important to the plot. It doesn't cause plot holes because of their similarities, except several critical scenes have Wes suddenly turn Japanese.
  • Or the entire staff of Bio-Lab the time the building was invaded. In fact, there are several times when there's suddenly a disproportionate amount of black hair in crowd scenes.
  • Eric looks very much like his Timeranger counterpart Naoto, so much that one dramatic, non-stock-footage morph was kept, during the multi-parter that introduced the Quantum Ranger. Unfortunately... Eric wasn't wearing his hat and Naoto was in that scene, so as we switch angles whilst he and Wes are charging at each other for their second battle, he suddenly goes from hatless to hatted.
  • An earlier episode (Quantum Ranger/Time Fire's debut episodes) had sneaked in shots of Naoto where Eric is supposed to be, which would work had they worn the same outfit during the scene (Eric is still wearing his uniform while Naoto was off-duty at the time). So close to awesome, yet so far...

Power Rangers Ninja Storm

• Some later Power Rangers Ninja Storm episodes have Cam randomly switching in and out of Super Samurai Mode while in the Megazord's cockpit for no real reason at all, even if he never used it in said episode.

Power Rangers SPD

• In nearly every episode of Power Rangers S.P.D., when the Rangers morph, there will be an extreme close-up of a hand holding the morpher, which would be fine except for the fact that the Rangers never hold the morpher properly (if the finger isn't on the button on top, the morpher shouldn't open!) They're holding it correctly in the morph sequence, so that means the focus Ranger's fingers appear to magically move as we switch to stock footage. This occurs constantly and is probably due to Real Life Writes the Plot: The morpher props are the Japanese morpher toys, so if the actor held the morpher properly, it would open for real. Naturally, non-stock-footage morphs always have the button-push, opening the morpher before the Ranger does a sparkly in-scene change.

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

• Power Rangers Operation Overdrive has a pretty obvious case during the roll calls, said case being Ronny. They changed her roll call pose from her GoGo Sentai Boukenger counterpart Natsuki's such that the motion is a little more "serious" and stays upright. This is probably due to Ronny's Tomboy personality, which is almost nothing like Natsuki's Genki Girl traits. However, Ronny still finds a way to appear already arched 45 degrees to her left near the end of the roll calls.
  • Still on the subject of Ronny, there is also her excessive excitement upon piloting her Zord for the first time. The writers attempted to pass this off as a form of Nerdgasm, but the fact of the matter is that the footage still retains Natsuki's childish body language, which is adorable when used by an adorable character, but for a tomboy like Ronny, it comes off as weird and out of character.

Power Rangers RPM

• Like in Time Force, there's an instance in the second episode of Power Rangers RPM where the city of Corinth is under attack, and for some reason the citizens all appear to be Japanese.
• Sometimes when using Go-Onger footage of Hiramechimedes as Venjix's first body, he can be seen wearing glasses, which the character lacks in American footage.

Power Rangers Megaforce

• Power Rangers Megaforce didn't bother translating the Gosei Cards, which say Tensou Sentai Goseiger on them as well as other Sentai terminology. This is probably why so much of the Rangers' arsenal keeps their Goseiger names in the first place (as well as The Mentor being called Gosei and the Robot Buddy being Tensou, just so the words "tensou" and "gosei" mean something here.)
  • You can tell whenever it's switched from American to Japanese footage because of the quality of video. The New Zealand cameras have a richer texture to it. Not only that but a lot of the Sentai footage is shot in the morning which makes it very noticeable if the American footage is in the afternoon.
  • The recurring footage from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger's Legend War includes heroes from Super Sentai that have never been adapted for Power Rangers. Most are way in the background where they're not as noticeable or have been edited to make them less conspicuous, but "Stranger Ranger" clearly shows Ryu Ranger fighting behind the Red Jungle Fury Ranger. Officially subverted in "Earth Fights Back" when the Dairanger suits debuted as "powers never seen before on Earth."
  • In episode 3, after the Rangers defeat the Monster of the Week with the Megaforce Blaster, they disassemble the blaster and then run to a completely different area where they had quarantined the infected civilians. After that, when Vrak summons the zombats to make the monster grow, the Rangers are suddenly right back in front of the monster's corpse, holding the assembled Megaforce Blaster. (In sentai, the scenes were ordered differently, the infected civilians not changing back until the monster was destroyed for good at giant size. Why anyone felt the need to change that, creating such an awkward scene, while nobody seemed to feel the need to change the sentai-only suits in Super Megaforce, no one knows.)
  • The second battle against Dragonflay (played out at the same time as the Red Ranger fights Creepox for the first time) in episode 4 still has plenty of Japanese text on signs and Japanese traffic signage.
  • In "United We Stand," Sentai footage is used when Beezara kicks Gia and Emma across the soccer field. Before this, Troy was knocked to the ground; however, if one looks closely at where Troy was, it's very obvious that it's Alata lying on the ground.
  • Speaking of Alata, his distinctive red-and-white jacket is very noticeable in the first few seconds of the opening sequence, as seen in this screenshot.
  • The loss of Datas leads to a problem with Ultra Gosei Great Megazord. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that there's a brand new Mechazord head that's just there with no explanation as to where it came from; not to mention the Zord mountings on the shoulders and the odd design on the robot's back. The card that summons it is labelled HYPER Gosei Great, due to total failure to edit the footage. The toyline at least explains the backpack away by having it store 3 Zord vehicles that carry the Sky, Land, and Sea brothers, but no such explanation exists in the show.
  • The Robo Morpher has a lot of Japanese Hiraganas left unedited.
  • An audio example occurs in one episode's Theme Music Power-Up: When the Rangers defeat the Monster of the Week, the wrong theme song is used, as "Rangers together, Samurai forever" can be heard in the lyrics.
• Super Megaforce has suffered the most from these failures. Mostly because it was an adaptation of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, which was not only an celebration of Super Sentai as a whole but also has the Gokaigers morphing into certain Sentai teams that were unadapted in PR. Specifically, Dynaman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, Fiveman, and the core Dairangers. Flashman and Fiveman would go on to have minor roles in the comics. While the producers do try to mitigate this, there are still moments where the cracks become the most glaring. ​Gosei Hand Waves this by calling them "new powers never before seen on this Earth", but it can still be very jarring for certain viewers.
  • Since this series adapted two Sentai seasons that have members that contrast each other blended into the same team this is bound to happen, resulting in minor character inconsistencies:
    • Emma is a understated character while her Goseiger counterpart Eri is more hyperactive. There's times when Goseiger footage is used and the Pink Ranger is gesturing animatedly like Eri but with Emma's understated performance, causing this. Should be less apparent when Gokaiger footage is used and Emma is being played by Ahim, also more understated than Eri.
    • Troy has a relaxed-yet-confident stance and overall body language which really doesn't jell well with Alata, who is usually timid and has his arms clenched together like an angry child. It gets better with Marvelous's body language, though not all that well as Troy's a bit more stiff and Marvelous is always ready to battle.
    • Jake's Gokaiger counterpart is Don, the team's Plucky Comic Relief Butt-Monkey; the first episode handles this simply by passing the Green Ranger's uneasy motions as Jake's enthusiasm over his new powers. In later episodes, it becomes even more pronounced with the Green Ranger inexplicably acting like Don at times to the point of being incompetent in direct combat, even though Jake has never been depicted as that goofy of a character.
    • Noah's Gokaiger counterpart is Joe, the team's master swordsman. While Don would fit better for Noah as does Joe to Jake, the reasoning for Noah being a master swordsman is to improve himself and be better at helping the team out. However, this is problematic on another layer due to Noah's Goseiger counterpart, Hyde, being a bow-wielder, resulting in Noah going from one extreme in combat to the other without any explanation. This is a little funny because Joe...well, let's just say that he won't be winning any marksmanship competitions.
    • Gia's body language usually fits her Gokaiger counterpart Luka, but not so much with Moune whose gestures reflects her childishness and over-energetic personality, something Gia is not shown doing out-of-suit, even when around her best friend Emma.
    • Orion - his Gokaiger counterpart, Gai, is a very hyperactive Sentai fanboy who was always energetic, whereas Orion's personality would be more akin to that of Joe Gibken/Gokai Blue^note ironically, of the core team, Joe is the only one who Orion's backstory doesn't have elements of. There's also the fact that Orion is taller than Gai, and due to the inexplicable decision not to film any original footage whenever Orion uses Super Megaforce Gold, whenever Orion uses the aforementioned powerup, he will inexplicably shrink about a foot.
  • The third commercial in this video contained footage that was obviously lifted straight from a TV-Nihon fansub release of Gokaiger. A newer version of this commercial fixed this problem.
  • In the first episode when the Rangers have their debut fight, it switched from an intact town plaza to a wrecked site with cracked concrete and crushed buildings.
    • During the all-red transformation, Noah turns into Wild Force Red, but the symbol seen was the Gaoranger one due to the kanji. There is also a clear change in location to accomodate Jake changing into Overdrive Red rather than Gosei / Megaforce Red.
  • During "Earth Fights Back", it's pretty obvious that the footage of legendary ranger teams that Noah is looking at isn't from the series said teams come from, but rather, the Gokai Changes of said teams - to be specific:
    • The changes into Jungle Fury and SPD do not have a blue ranger^note this did get used in the next episode.
    • The Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger is shown with a skirt, despite the fact that said ranger is male^note this is due to the fact that the key for Geki Chopper, the Sentai counterpart to the Rhino Ranger, was used by Gokai Pink.
    • The Operation Overdrive full-team morph doesn't resemble any one used in it's home series^note among other things, the morph ended with the rangers striking a pose, with the helmet's outline sparking as it solidified; the one seen here looks more akin to the one used for the Red Overdrive Ranger in the all-team Red morph at the start of Super Megaforce. More damning, however, is the presence of the hybrid of the Gold and Silver RPM rangers, which never appeared in RPM^note the hybrid Gold-Silver key was used in Super Megaforce, but Operation Overdrive wasn't used outside of the all-red change early in Super Megaforce.
  • The same episode also has Japan as the place where the rocket was launched when clearly the show takes place in the United States, or New Zealand in terms of where it was shot. This was because of the unedited transition between the local shots and the pool of stock footage that was found in Gokaiger (though this is far from the first time this has happened in the franchise's history). This happens again in "The Perfect Storm", blatantly obvious that the Q-Rex was tossed into space from Japan.
  • In "Silver Lining, Part 1" when Jake (as Galaxy Green) uses his Quasar Saber to disable Gorgax's shield, for a brief moment you can see the tip of the Green Mighty Morphin Ranger's Dragon Dagger hit the shield instead of the Quasar Saber's tip. ^explanation (This is because in the footage from Gokaiger, Gokai Green was Zyuranger's DragonRanger as part of a Sixth Ranger Gokai Change.)
  • An example involving Kousoku Sentai Turboranger occurs in "Love is In the Air", based on the tribute episode to Power Rangers Turbo's counterpart Gekisou Sentai Carranger - you can make out a black Ranger key being used as the Rangers morph into the Turbo Power Rangers, who didn't have a black Ranger. In the Sentai, the Gokaigers mistook the Turborangers for the Carrangers and transformed into the former first for mere seconds only to be corrected by Carranger's Red Ranger.^note technically, Turbo did have a Black Ranger, the Phantom Ranger. However, said ranger is considered more of a Sixth Ranger as opposed to one of the core rangers (his Sentai counterpart, the VRV Master, is actually considered more of an Extra Hero; Signalman, the Sentai counterpart of the Blue Senturion, fills the role of Sixth Ranger in Carranger), and as the Sixth Ranger keys are restricted to Orion, it still stands
  • During Noah and Argus' final battle in All Hail Prince Vekar, you can see a shot of Joe's long black hair after he hits Argus.
  • In episode 13, this came as a double whammy, when before a commercial break, we see four of the suits from Dengeki Sentai Changeman, then after the commercial break, Troy's inexplicably the red ranger from Hikari Sentai Maskman, since they excluded the footage of Marvelous changing to it from the original Gokaiger episode.
  • The "Super Sentai" wheels remain present in close-up shots of the Turbo Falcon Zord.
  • As pointed out by Linkara, an attempted aversion occurs in "Legendary Battle", where some of the past Ranger teams shown are edited to remove any instance of multiple Tommys from the Zeo, Turbo, and Dino Thunder teams... only to neglect doing the same for TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie, who now have mysterious duplicates on both the Turbo and in Space teams. Though Turbo's "The Robot Ranger" episode showed they have built robotic duplicates, there's a possible explanation. Ironically, Super Ninja Steel would show Tommy wielding all of his previous powers at once: if he had this element of story back then, they wouldn't have to bother to edit out all the footage of his other forms.

Power Rangers Dino Charge

• Power Rangers Dino Charge has its moments:
  • Averted when it comes to the Dino Chargers. Unlike in Megaforce (especially the cards in the Goseiger half), stock footage involving the Dino Chargers is edited to show the English dinosaur names instead of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger's names (i.e. "Tyrannosaurus Rex" instead of "Gabutyra"). Though there was one moment in Episode 4 where you can briefly see "Gabutyra" on Tyler's Dino Charger, but it's very quick and easy to miss. Even then that's averted as future airings edited to Tyrannosaurus Rex.
  • Speaking of Tyrannosaurus Rex, a less glaring one happens when his Kyoryuger debut emerging from a tropical island's volcano (lined by palm trees at the base) is used as-is, but in Dino Charge the Rangers clearly see him emerging while they are surrounded by temperate foliage.
  • The fight between the Red Ranger and Wrench in the third episode has a poster with large Japanese writing clearly visible in a few shots.
  • Episode 4 has another example: During the battle with the Rangers, the cage on Slammer's left shoulder is suddenly being damaged for no apparent reason. This is because in Kyoryuger, the Kyoryugers had to destroy said cage to free Debo Royaroya's captives.
  • Speaking of "Rise of a Ranger", this is cleverly averted by the writers, who were able to splice Kyoryuger footage and original footage together due to the restrictions from adapting the sentai. The Graphite Ranger's counterpart, Tessai was a 1400 year old monk who in his debut fought alongside the sentai's Cyan Ranger against a meteor-themed alien. Since the show has not formally introduced the Cyan Ranger, they had to work around that by separating him from the others for his debut fight (original footage) while the rangers face off against Fury (stock footage). The Robot, G-BO meanwhile was introduced before Gray's introduction and was fought off by Cyan, making most of its stock footage useless as well.
  • The Megazord battle in "World Famous In New Zealand" has the Rangers going from fighting Meteor in the city to fighting him in the forest.
  • During the "Deep Down Under" Megazord battle, the Plesio Charge Megazord has the Plesio Charger, even though Kendall never mentioned its existence and the Rangers never used it on screen.
  • One of the more noticeable examples is Fury's furry collar — in Kyoryuger he started out without it but gained it later as part of the plot (for some reason, it's missing while he has Ivan's counterpart trapped within him, returning when he's freed.) while Dino Charge doesn't attach any significance to the collar so he's seen with and without it at various points. Most notably, the opening goes straight from a long shot of Fury without the collar to a close-up of him with the collar.
  • In "Nightmare in Amber Beach", the Vivix fight shows a bunch of Japanese text visible on the scenery, something that Dino Charge has been much better at avoiding thus far than its predecssor was.
  • Double whammy in "Forged Under Fire": The warehouse changes interiors during the Singe and Hunter vs Rangers fight; and arguably a huge one: the Rangers minus Tyler summon the Dino Charge Megazord TriStegoPtera Formation to fight a giant Fury, while Tyler uses T-Rex Super Charge mode to fight off Singe. Except Super Charge Mode requires the T-Rex Zord to work (the Zord shrinks to become T-Rex Supercharge Mode's morpher and weapon) and it's combined with three others at the moment. How can it be in two places at once?
  • In "Catching Some Rays", Loafer and Leisure's design is unchanged from their original incarnation as Debo Vacance from Brave 31 of Kyoryuger; as such, they still have the "DEBOTH GUN TEAM CANDERRILLA" inscription on the surfboards on their backs (plainly visible while Leisure is fighting Chase on the first part of the episode). Plus, when Leisure flies off Earth to draw power from the Sun for her laziness beam attack, the zoom-out from Japan seen in the original is still used - twice (before and after the first commercial break).

Power Rangers Ninja Steel

• Power Rangers Ninja Steel makes a secondary weapon from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger the morpher. Two problems: since the sword was the morpher in the Sentai, the sword is used to activate every star except the morphing ones, and the morphing stars themselves are typically seen on the swords during battle. On top of that, the morphers always vanish during the Transformation Sequence and even morph scenes that go Stock Footage-less... even if the Ranger in the Sentai was using the weapon that became the morpher in Power Rangers (meaning that the Ranger morphs, the morpher explicitly vanishing when the suit appears... but it's still being held in the next shot as the Ranger leaps into action.)

Power Rangers Dino Fury

• Even before the series started, the trailer did. At the bottom of the screen, you could see tidbits of what appear to be out of place special effects. What the reality was, is that the footage didn't just come from the original Sentai, but from TV-Nihon. The bits at the bottom were the special effects they use for the subtitles.
  • There are also a few clips unmistakably of several Ryusoulgers in their civilian forms.

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

• There are multiple instances where you can see the Kyurangers in the cockpits for a few frames.
