* In a ShoutOut / TakeThat, Jason steps on a yellow and black Camaro with his Zord and proceeds to throw it at some Putties.

Added DiffLines:

* Rita's shrivelled body is originally pulled out of the ocean by a fishing boat, coincidentally captained by Jason's dad. When a cop comes to examine it after they call, he complains about the smell of the place it's stashed in. Mr. Scott snarkily points out that he's complaining that a compartment used to hold tons of dead fish smells like, well, fish.

* Zack catches up to them by taking a different -- and higher -- route, and jumps down onto the van from above. After Jason pulls him in, and angrily asks if he's crazy. Zack just tells him [[BluntYes "Yes!"]] with a proudly deranged look on his face.

Added DiffLines:

* Once in the Zords, Billy gets this immortal line.
--> [[Film/DieHard "Yippie-ki-yay, motherf]]...[[CurseCutShort 'mother's' good.]]"


Added DiffLines:

* Rita summons yet more putties once she sees the Rangers have activated their Zords, and Billy says "how many does she ''need''?" as if he's more critical of Rita's extravagance with her minions.


Added DiffLines:

* Kimberly swoops in to rescue the Triceratops zord, picking it up and then just dropping it in Rita's general direction. Billy impulsively hits a button, letting out an unexpected shockwave that sends Rita flying across the road. Elizabeth Banks gives a hilarious OhCrap squeal before the impact. Doubles as LaserGuidedKarma, since she did kill him only a few hours previously.


Added DiffLines:

** It's also quite fitting that it's Trini operating the hand that slaps her into space. Also doubles as a fun nod to the 1995 movie, where the Yellow Ranger dispatched Ivan Ooze with a GroinAttack.

Added DiffLines:

** Zack refers to it as "doing crazy ''Karate Kid'' moves".
* Billy's reaction to nearly blowing himself up?
--> [[WasntThatFun "Well that really run my bell.]]"


Added DiffLines:

** Zack's power jump is quite well timed, and he manages to crash right into Trini. He then happily says "I got her" while weakly holding onto her ''ankle'', as if he thinks that will stop her from running away again. She understandably stamps on his hand and frees herself immediately.


Added DiffLines:

* Kimberly attempting a FriendshipMoment by explaining to the others that Trini transferred to Angel Grove a month ago and they have English together. Trini deadpans the following without even taking a breath.
--> "I've been at Angel Grove for over a year now and we have Biology together. Good talk."


Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues when Zordon tries to get teenagers to take things seriously.
--> '''Zordon:''' To assume your Ranger identities, you need to morph. Have any of you morphed before?
--> '''Zack:''' Yes, [[ADateWithRosiePalms but only in the shower]].
** Note that Jason had been trying to get the others to take it seriously, and even he finds that ActuallyPrettyFunny. There's also a shot of Billy trying to work out what Zack means, but in the next shot [[DelayedReaction he's giggling too]].
* Billy gets positively giddy when Zordon tells them they'll get armour, and whispers "Jason, we get armour" as if Jason somehow missed that detail.
** And when Alpha 5 says they're about to go to the pit, he turns to Jason and says "I don't want to find out what the pit is", as though Jason is their father who's about to take them on a boring family trip.


Added DiffLines:

** After his repeated attempts to flirt with her, Trini is very pleased when she sees Zack take that hit.

* The Angel Grove High tie-in website has a [[http://angelgrovehighschool.com/post/151519929698/new-student-spotlight story]] about new student Trini, telling other students to make her feel welcome. Trini [[http://angelgrovehighschool.com/post/152561050638/letter-to-the-editor-trini-talks writes in]] to say that she's been attending school there for the ''[[FailedASpotCheck past year]]''.

* One of the first injuries on set came courtesy of Naomi Scott accidentally hitting a stunt guy in the face. [[HilariousInHindsight Wonder if they put his tooth back.]]
* Rita's {{Hostile Show Takeover}}s of the movie's Twitter are hilarious because she's able to pull off DeadpanSnarker in just text along with her annoyance and confusion at what the modern world is like.
** Cyber Monday:
*** Her must have list includes [[MythologyGag Advil]], Rogaine (for Zordon), Canned Unicorn Meat (which she claims to not had in centuries), [[{{Squick}} Coyote Urine spray]], and an [[ChildHater "I hate kids"]] t-shirt.
*** 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 [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward]].
*** Equally funny is the numerous fans openly admitting to rooting for Rita in the film.
** A later takeover has Rita attempting to recruit monsters to her cause, even tweeting Music/LadyGaga to ask who put her in charge of the monsters on Earth. [[note]]Lady Gaga calls her fans [[AffectionateNickname Little Monsters]][[/note]]
** Valentine's Day
*** Her hatred of this day, or the love part of it, by itself is hilarious.
*** [[https://twitter.com/ThePowerRangers/status/831586617466855424 Another message to President Snow]] and [[https://twitter.com/ThePowerRangers/status/831686319323574272 one to Effie]].
*** Trying to [[https://twitter.com/ThePowerRangers/status/831643909251936256 recruit]] {{Music/Cee Lo Green}}'s latest persona for her army.
*** Even her actress even gets in on the [[https://twitter.com/ElizabethBanks/status/831586212376834048 fun]]!
* [[https://youtu.be/KxqpwSiKcQQ?t=36m30s This event]] is amusing as it is, but the cast occasionally gets distracted by making their avatars get into each other's faces, jump around, or the avatars contorting in weird ways causing them to crack up.
* Creator/BryanCranston went on ''Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert'' to promote the movie and did the entire interview in a Red Ranger costume. He was even introduced as being one of the most distinguished and dignified actors, and the interview was mostly bringing out all [[PayingTheirDues his past roles]].
* The first time any of the Ranger actors met Creator/ElizabethBanks 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.
* As revealed in an interview, to help him with his role as Zack, Ludi Lin visited his old high school to observe. Due to looking a lot younger than his real age, he managed to convince some kids to give him a tour by telling them he was a transfer student. The kicker? He blended in successfully until one of his ''old teachers'' walked up to him and said, "Ludi? You're still here?"
* The HilariousOuttakes are amusing enough, but Alpha 5 spending about 30 seconds asking the Rangers increasingly bizarre questions is a highlight.
* 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=].
* In one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPB5vlKi4Cw interview]] between Naomi Scott, Ludi Lin and Dacre Montgomery, they're asked what their go-to karaoke song is. Naomi first belts out "[[Music/WhitneyHouston AAAAAANNNDDD IIIIIIII...]]" and then amends to Drake's "Best I Ever Had". Ludi cheekily says that's the song her husband fell in love with her to...and Naomi collapses into incoherent giggles, only able to nod to clarify that he's not kidding. Dacre too is bent over, letting out a high-pitched squeal of laughter. They're still laughing incoherently as they try to say goodbye to the interviewer.
