10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Power Rangers

4) Goldar

The big closing battle of the movie sees the Rangers tussle with an enormous golden creation of Rita’s called Goldar. At first, the creature is winning, until the Rangers form a “Megazord” from their separate five Zords and manage to defeat it. This exactly mirrors the plot of the previously mentioned pilot episode “Day of the Dumpster.” The presentation of Goldar differs, however, as he’s a blue furry lion-bear-cat-thing in gold armour in the original series instead of a faceless mute golden golem.

Another homage to the series happens when Goldar grows to skyscraper size and Rita decrees: “make my monster grow!” This line was used every time that Rita threw her staff to Earth to increase the size of the monster-of-the-week.

Likewise, Rita has an army of foot soldiers made from rock and earth that do her bidding. Zordon mentions at one point that these are called Putties. In the original show, Rita’s Putties or Putty Patrol were made from a special clay and transformed into an army by Finster.
