Revealing mistake: Certain monsters in Zord battles were designed for the first series. This is so Saban could use Japanese footage of ground fights, to save on shooting their own (As the costumes from series 1 carried over into series 2). Sometimes, you can see the Megazord, and Dragonzord, getting attacked (you may need to pause it). It should be the Thunderzord, or Tigerzord.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993)
1 revealing mistake in Season 2 generally - chronological order
Starring: Richard Steven Horvitz, David Yost, David Fielding, Paul Schrier
Genres: Action, Adventure, Family, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Thriller
Continuity mistake: When the Villains send their cronies (for example, Putties, Tengu Warriors, Cogs, Piranhatrons, etc.), their numbers constantly change from when they arrive, to when they leave. This is due to the use of Japanese footage used from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
Rita Repulsa: Ah, after 10,000 years I'm free. Time to conquer Earth. (00:00:04)
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.
Question: Why do Power Rangers series reuse original Sentai fight footages instead of filming new footage?





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.
