• Bryan Cranston, who played Zordon, voiced the villains Twinman and Snizzard in the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994).
• The film's premiere was initially scheduled for July 22, 2016, but Lionsgate moved the release date to January, and then to March 24, 2017.
• On the window in Trini, or the Yellow Ranger's, bedroom – played by singer and dancer Becky G – a tiger's head within a circle can be seen. The same image was on the Power Rangers’ gold coins in the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994).
• Previously, the Power Rangers wore suits made of "spandex" (a general name for polyurethane fibers or elastomeric polyurethane threads). Now their suits are made of a crystalline substance of extraterrestrial origin.
• The logo of Angel Grove High School is exactly the same as it was shown in the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994).
• This is the third Power Rangers film intended for theatrical release after the science fiction action films "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (Bryan Spicer, 1995) and "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" (Shuki Levy and David Winning, 1997). The film has no connection to the previous films and is a reboot of the series.
• On street signs in Angel Grove, you can notice the names "Riverside" and "Ocean Bluff Street". These are references to the television series "Power Rangers Dino Thunder" (the 12th season of the franchise, 2004) and "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" (the 16th season, 2008), which take place in cities with those names.
• In one episode, Trini is shown wearing a t-shirt with the numbers 1973. In 1973, the first actress to play the Yellow Ranger, Thuy Trang, was born. The actress died in a car accident near San Francisco on September 3, 2001.
• The film's producers note that they were greatly influenced by Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films (2002, 2004, and 2007) and John Hughes' teen comedy-drama "The Breakfast Club" (1985).
• The morphers in the film are based on coins and stones from the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994) and "Power Rangers Dino Thunder" (the 12th season of the franchise, 2004), respectively.
• The first Power Rangers film to receive a PG-13 rating from the American Film Association (children under 13 are only allowed to see the film with their parents).
• Stephanie Scott and AnnaSophia Robb were considered for the role of the Pink Ranger. Robbie Amell was very eager to play the Red Ranger.
• The first trailer for the film garnered over 150 million views in the first 48 hours.
• Filming took place in British Columbia (one of the provinces of Canada), the same location used for the television series "Once Upon a Time" (2011) and the romantic drama "Charlie St. Cloud" (2010) by Burr Steers.
• This is the first film in which Jason, Zack, and Trini become Power Rangers. Jason appeared in "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" (Shuki Levy and David Winning, 1997), but only as a regular person. The characters Zack and Trini appear on the big screen for the first time.
• Roberto Orci was supposed to produce the film, but his involvement in the adventure film "Star Trek Beyond" (2016) by Justin Lin prevented it.
• The logos of Saban Entertainment and Lionsgate in the credits are colored with the colors of the Power Rangers – red, blue, black, yellow, and pink.
• Jason drives a red Ford Ranger in the film.
• The first film about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, filmed in Canada.
• The helmets of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers lack visors, as seen in deleted scenes from the film *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie* (Bryan Spicer, 1995), as well as in the seasons *Power Rangers Rescue* (the 8th season of the series, 2000) and *Power Rangers Ninja Storm* (the 11th season, 2003).
• Rita Repulsa's costume is colored gold and green, a reference to her subordinate, Scorpina. Her personal Power Ranger is also Green. On Rita's staff is the Green Power Coin, from which the Green Ranger Tommy Oliver draws his power.
• The Green Power Coin on Rita's staff: originally, Rita possessed this coin and used it to create and control the Green Ranger.
• Trini became the first LGBTQ+ superhero in history, and Billy was the first autistic character.
• The high school in Angel Grove, where the film takes place, is the same one used in the TV series "Smallville".
• In the TV series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," each of the five Rangers had their own personal weapon, while in the film, only the Red Ranger does. The creators wanted to include weapons for everyone, but had to abandon the idea due to the film's limited runtime.
• In previous installments of the franchise, Kimberly had a romantic relationship with Tommy, and Jason with Emily. In Dean Israelite's film, a romantic relationship exists between Jason and Kimberly.
• Brian Cranston, who played Zordon, voiced the villains Twinman and Snizzard in the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994).
• A tiger head in a circle can be seen in the window of Trini's, or the Yellow Ranger's, bedroom, played by singer and dancer Becky G. The same image was on the gold coins of the Rangers in the television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" (1993-1994).
