Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Difference between revisions

* [[Chrome Champion]]: Titanium Ranger

* [[City of Adventure]]: Mariner Bay

** [[Big Bad]]: '''Queen Bansheera'''.

** [[Mad Scientist]]: '''Jinxer'''.

** [[The Brute]]: '''Loki'''.

** [[Dark Chick]]: '''Vypra'''.

** [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]: '''Diabolico''' after he [[Unexplained Recovery|gets better]].

** [[The Hero]]: '''{{color|red|Carter}}'''

** [[The Lancer]]: '''{{color|blue|Chad}}'''

* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]: "Yesterday Again"

* [[Heel Face Door Slam]]: Inverted slightly. After Bansheera took control of him and forced him to fire at the Rangers who were battling Loki, who ended up being hit by the blast and destroyed, Diabolico vowed revenge against the queen. However, before he could act on his plan, Bansheera took control of him and forced him to fight the Rangers, who had no choice but to destroy him. Fortunately, he got another chance in the finale when he came back as a spirit and helped Carter trap her back in the demon world forever.

* [[Homage]]: Besides the source footage's hat-tipping to [[Thunderbirds|the work of Gerry Anderson]], Saban's adaptation (perhaps inadvertently) takes it further. Lightspeed is a technologically advanced government agency with clear similarities to the Navy, much like [[Stingray (TV)|Stingray]]'s WASP.

* [[Hot Scientist]]: Miss Fairweather

* [[Metaphor Is My Middle Name]]: Kelsey: "Crazy is my middle name!"

* [[Mildly Military]]

** Also, General [[Mc Knight]] shares a surname with [[Power Rangers Dino Thunder|Conner McKnight]]. No connection is ever made in PRDT, though.

* [[Noble Demon]]: Diabolico.

* [[Team Dad]]: Captain Mitchell, helped along by the fact that he actually IS a dad.

** And to a member of the team, at that. {{spoiler|Eventually, two members of the team when [[Long Lost Sibling|Ryan]] arrives & takes up the Titanium Ranger powers.}}

* [[This Is Not a Drill]]: Invoked, at one point it looks like the demons have been defeated, everyone's celebrating and then the alarms go off, when Carter asks if its a drill, Captain Mitchell responds with "We don't have drills".

* [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]]: Chad.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Rhett Fisher (Ryan/Titanium Ranger) originally auditioned for the role of Carter. Interesting if you think about how, in the show, Carter originally tried to use the Titanium Ranger powers, but couldn't handle it.

** Toei and PLEX came up with [http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3287/lrunused.jpg entirely original Zords for the Red and Titanium Rangers], but Saban declined to use them due to the expense. The Red one only appears twice, in the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] episode, and used as a kamikaze ship in the season finale. Both of them exist in toy form though.

* [[You Look Familiar]]: A subverted example. [[Power Rangers in Space|Christopher Khayman Lee]] appears as an Aquabase tech, but it's a background character, as he did the role for fun. Not to mention that, [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|after the Lost Galaxy team-up]], he has said to cut his hair, meaning that he wouldn't be seen without his long hair.

* [[Your Size May Vary]]: the Supertrain Megazord. Due to [[People in Rubber Suits|the size of the suits]] and sets, it'll be massive in special effect-ed distant shots, but in normal shots, the same size as whatever [[Monster of the Week]] or mecha is also in frame.
