Errors[]
- Billy and Zack morph out of order.
- When Mighty Minotaur grows, Kimberly and Trini can be seen with Hiroshi from the Sentai footage.
- Trini can be seen holding her weapons before she is given them.
- When the Rangers go back into battle against the Minotaur, they are holding ordinary grey versions of their Power Weapons before "powering" them up into their standard forms. These are the unmorphed versions of the Zyurangers' individual weapons which did not form a Power Blaster and would show up in "Mighty Morphin' Mutants" as the Mutant Rangers' Power Weapons.
- When Alpha says the Rangers still have their hands full, the edge of the set can be seen at the top of the screen. A studio light is also visible.
- The Rangers destroyed Minotaur's mace and shield using their individual weapons. Minotaur has them again as they form the Power Blaster, but is bare-handed when the Rangers fire it.
- Kimberly is not shown summoning her Zord unlike the other Rangers.
- When the Rangers are summoned away by Zordon to the Command Center from the Megazord Battle, the outlines of the Zyurangers can briefly be seen as each Ranger fades to their respective color.
- When Jason contact Trini, and Kimberly, his helmet is not on properly, and is a slightly darker shade of red.
- Though it could just be the lighting.
- While Trini is communicating with Jason the Triceratops Power Coin is seen.
- Also the suit's zipper is visible on her wrist.
