* RemakeCameo: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], A pre-''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' and ''Series/BreakingBad'' Creator/BryanCranston voiced two MonstersOfTheWeek in the original series. Here, he's playing Zordon.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Unsurprisingly for a reboot. The director claims that they want to expand the franchise's audience by making a movie that can appeal more toward older viewers.

* RaceLift: The movie mixes up the original team's FiveTokenBand. While Jason remains white, Zack goes from black to Asian, Kimberly becomes half Indian and half white (at least presumably since Naomi Scott is of that MixedAncestry), Billy goes from white to black, and Trini goes from Asian to Latina. This was most likely done to avoid unfortunate implications from having the Black Ranger played by a black actor and the Yellow Ranger played by an Asian.

!''Power Rangers'' provides examples of:

** The Black Ranger's suit was black to begin with, but otherwise the Rangers' suits have the same colors as the originals.
* MythologyGag: Rita's new design has some obvious influence from [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Scorpina]] and [[PowerRangersTurbo Divatox]].

** The Black Ranger's suit was black to begin with, but otherwise the Rangers' suits have the same colors as the originals, albeit in darker shades.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The movie is being filmed in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}

* HotterAndSexier: Rita stands out. In the original show, she was an "old crone"-style WickedWitch; even when given a younger actress as TheOtherDarrin in order to appear in American footage, she was completely covered below the neck. In contrast, Elizabeth Banks' Rita has a figure and isn't afraid to show it off.

** The Rangers' suits (except, obviously, the Black Ranger) are the same colours as the originals (albeit darker shades).

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack:
** Played straight with one of Rita's outfits, which is black. Subverted with her alternate outfit which is bright green.
** Subverted with the Rangers (except, obviously, the Black Ranger), whose suits are the same colors as the originals (albeit darker).

* RaceLift: The movie mixes up the original team's FiveTokenBand. While Jason and Kimberly remain white, Zack goes from black to Asian, Billy goes from white to black, and Trini goes from Asian to Latina.

** Subverted with the Rangers (except the one who is supposed to be black), who's suits are just as, if not ''more'' colorful than the originals.

** Played straight with one of Rita's outfits, which is black. Subvert with her alternate outfit which is bright green.
