10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Power Rangers

Power Rangers fans, rejoice - the cinematic reboot of the campy, cheesy show about those colour-coordinated cadets is finally here. While it's receiving mixed reviews from critics, longterm followers of the franchise will find much to love in this slightly more grown-up take from Project Almanac director Dean Israelite.

9) Trini’s Action Figure Collection

A scene heavily featured in the movie’s promotion is the tense moment when Rita attacks Trini in her bedroom. If you have eagle eyes, you can glimpse some intriguing action figures on display during this sequence. Namely, a Putty Patroller from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as Rita’s henchmen Finster and Squatt.

Another fun callback to the original show occurs at the end of the movie, when Trini’s brothers believe the Yellow Ranger is a “he.” In Mighty Morphin, the fight sequences were taken from Japanese show Super Sentai in which the Yellow Ranger was played by a man. Trini also wears a shirt with “1973” written on it during the movie. It might be a coincidence, but that’s the year that original Trini actress Thuy Trang was born.

Finally, in what’s more of an easily-overlooked detail than an easter egg, Trini’s brief mention of having “girlfriend troubles” means that she’s the first LGBTQ superhero in any movie ever. Nice one, Power Rangers.
