Two for One - S2-E19
Character mistake: After Tommy and Kimberly are attacked by Pursehead, when they morph, Tommy says "Dragonzord" instead of "Tigerzord".
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993)
1 character mistake in season 2
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.
Trivia: Jason David Frank, who played Tommy, left the show in the episode because his powers had been stolen by the Green Candle. However, he had become the most popular member of the Power Team, despite the original plan being just to temporarily have him on the show. Saban received large amounts of letters daily requesting Frank be brought back. The company eventually gave in and brought Frank back in the episode "Return of an Old Friend." He was returned to Green Ranger status in part 2.
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.
