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
Green With Evil (1): Out of Control - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: Up until Green No More in Series 2 (where the Green Ranger powers are destroyed), the Green Ranger's overshield constantly changes between solid-looking metal to flimsy-looking cotton. This is the most obvious difference between the Japanese and US footage.
Rita Repulsa: Ah, after 10,000 years I'm free. Time to conquer Earth. (00:00:04)
Trivia: Tommy has been more colours than any other Ranger. He has been the Green, White, Red, and Black Ranger.
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.
