[[The Movie]] adaptation of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (TV)|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', released between the show's second and third seasons and given a [[Big -Budget Beef -Up]] treatment. It doesn't fit into the [[Continuity]] of [[Non -Serial Movie|the series]] (which make sense considering the series used footage from the Japanese sentai. For this, they were going on their own, fights and all); the events of the film are repeated/replaced in the third season. The Rangers, villains and Command Center are all radically different, accounting for where the movie's budget went to. In particular, the Rangers have a [[Powered Armor]] appearance and the special effects were a far cry from the series.
 
The plot: Rita and Zedd release another [[Sealed Evil in A Can]], a [[Shapeshifting]] glob known as Ivan Ooze, with the hope he would become a new minion. Unfortunately, he proves that there was a very good reason he was sealed away. Trapping Zedd and Rita in a snowglobe, crippling the Rangers' Command Center and destroying their powers, he sets out to rebuild monstrous creatures that he began years ago. The Rangers depart for the planet Phaedos to find "The Great Power" to re-energize themselves and return to stop Ooze.
Line 21:
* [[The Artifact]]: Much like the series, the suits remain the same even after switching to a completely different set of powers. Although at least in the movie the chest pieces displaying their animal does switch from dinosaurs/mythological creatures to the ninja animals.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Zordon, near the end of the movie.}}
* [[Big -Budget Beef -Up]]: The CGI hasn't aged well, but for the time period it was fairly high quality.
* [[Big Good]]: Almost no where else in the franchise has Zordon been as revered as the epitome of all that is good. Ooze visibly raged after hearing his name and Dulcea only helped the Rangers when she learned that Zordon was in trouble. The only season that came as close was ''[[Power Rangers in Space (TV)|Power Rangers in Space]]''.
* [[Big Red Button]]: The Ninja Megazord has one that Aisha needs to break a glass panel to use.
Line 63:
** Almost struck Rocky.
* [["Hey You!" Haymaker]]: Averted. Fred found his dad at the construction site and tries to get his attention, when Goldar appears shouting "Hey you!". He thought he's been spotted, until... "Get back to work!" to another hypnotized parent.
* [[High -Class Glass]]: Mordant for some reason wears a monocle.
* [[Hollywood Skydiving]]: The film opens with a skydiving scene that lasts for several minutes. Kimberly [[Action Girl|backflips out of the plane]], Tommy [[Rule of Cool|skysurfs]] all the way down, and the whole thing is set to [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Higher]] [[Red Hot Chili Peppers (Music)|Ground]]. It's totally awesome.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Rangers' Ninja Zords and Ivan's Ecto-Morphicon Titans - Scorpitron and Hornetor.
Line 73:
* [[May Contain Evil]]
* [[Monster Clown]]: Ivan Ooze when selling his slime to kids.
* [[My New Gift Is Lame]]/[[Blessed With Suck]]: Adam: "...[[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|I'm a frog.]]"
** His power is... [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|kissing]].
*** [[The Pornomancer|Kissing is an]] [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|Awesome Power!]]
**** Adam even smiled.
Line 90:
** The Ranger morphed forms also have wildly different weapons and modes they can switch into, the Red Rangers' scanning visor, the Yellow Rangers' headlights, Pink Rangers' "thunderwhip" and the Blue Rangers' zip line.
* [[No Immortal Inertia]]: Zordon begins aging "at an accelerated rate" when Ivan breaks open the time-warp capsule. Later on, Dulcea tells the Rangers that she too will age rapidly if she leaves her domain on the planet Phaedos.
* [[Non -Serial Movie]]: Despite being based off the popular ''[[Power Rangers (Franchise)|Power Rangers]]'' franchise, and sharing the same cast, the movie isn't part of the show's continuity - Season 3 started off with a similar story arc to the plot of the movie.
* [[Nubile Savage]]: Dulcea. There was actually a little bit of outrage over the outfit, while it shows a lot of skin it wasn't too provocative (a skirt made of wide strips of fabric and a top that didn't show much cleavage), but a publicity photo showing her pining Tommy to the ground had a [[Male Gaze]]-ish angle and made it look worse than it was.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Ooze, as he's about to be hit by a comet.
Line 99:
** And the Tengus were used in the third season as the ''Tengas''.
** Much later, one of the stone gargoyle-guardians the Ninjetti Rangers fight appeared in the background of an episode of ''[[Power Rangers SPD (TV)|Power Rangers SPD]]''.
* [[Psychic -Assisted Suicide]]: Attempted on Angel Grove's adults.
* [[Remember the New Guy]]: Mordant, kind of.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Mordant is terrified of the Ecto-Morphicons once they're activated and doesn't join Ivan and Goldar in watching them attack the city. Once Ivan combines with Hornetor, Goldar flies back to the moon. Neither of them are seen again until the post-credits sequence.
