Carlos on Call - S1-E32

Continuity mistake: Throughout the series, the Rangers' morphing has been instantaneous. Anyone who has ever been in a photobooth will know that they take a good minute or so to get through all 4 photos (which is what Sophie picks up) - it has never taken Carlos, or any Ranger, that long to morph.

Sammo Blammo - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the bank, he has a bomb attached to him and an ex-bad guy handcuffed next to him, the handcuff is roughly a foot long, making the distance short between him and the guy next to him. Sammo fights a gang of thugs in the bank and does a swing round kick and his handcuff is detached or widens by 3-4 ft. The guy on the floor is rolling around to make it look like he is attached to Sammo, but is clearly not.
