Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When we see the long shot of Rita blowing up the ground by the rangers, the clothes of the people in the long shot don't match what the rangers are wearing. Their positions are also different. (00:12:20)

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Other mistake: After the teens leave the command center, Rita sees this and orders the creation of her Putties. Her henchman slaps down a few things of clay into a mold loosely, that then show the perfect figurines of the putties coming out of them. However with the shape of the mold, there is no way that the clay would come out in shapes like that or with that detail. (00:11:35)

Suggested correction: Given that these are literal monsters and a witch living on the moon after being imprisoned for 10,000 years, I don't think we can say for certain what their machinery will do.

This is speculating too much. Practically making the same argument that it's OK because magic. The general physics of what is being displayed on the screen doesn't match up with how the clay fits into the mold even in the slightest.

Quantom X

What Quantom is saying is that they are using a press die to create the mold for the putties and no matter how you look at it, the volume of clay going into the mold is not enough to create the detail seen on the putties.

It's not just that, but the shapes don't match up at all. He does the equivalent of putting clay into a round hole and getting a square out of it.

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the kids leave the command center after being teleported there, in one scene they are all wearing different clothes and Trini's actress has changed as well - she has short hair. (00:11:22)

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Character mistake: Zordon begins to explain to the Rangers about their powers and then their Zords. At one point, he says "You need only to turn to the power of your Dino Zords." However, the subtitles get it wrong and spell it as if he's saying "Dinosaurs" instead of Dino Zords which is what he says. (00:10:38)

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Bulk and Skull interrupt the Karate lesson and push Billy aside. A shot of Jason standing next to the wall has a painting of an umbrella right behind Jason's shoulder. Then when Bulk and Skull walk up to him, suddenly there is a good couple feet distance between him and the umbrella. (00:05:17)

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Rita is freed and blows up her dumpster prison, she taunts the astronauts and says she's going to destroy the nearest planet. She's making a hand gesture as she does and then suddenly between cuts she's in a different position. The goons beside her also are in different stances. (00:01:58)

Day of the Dumpster - S1-E1

Character mistake: As one of Rita's goons is helping her out of her prison, she complains that he made her step in a puddle right outside of her canister. However, they are on the moon, so there is no way there is a puddle she could have stepped in. (00:01:44)

More quotes from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

Trivia: Portions of every episode are from a Japanese version of the show. Almost every episode in series 1 was two thirds Japanese footage, just voiced over. Saban used this Japanese footage to save on filming its own.

Answer: Probably to save on costs of filming the same scene. In the reused shots they have always morphed so you can't see the actors. They just have to pay them to do voice-overs rather than the entire scene.
