Suppose your first ever exposure to the ''{{Batman}}'' franchise was the [[Series/{{Batman}} campy 60s television show]]. Then someone mentions to you, "Hey, did you know that they made a film version of this?" and hands you a DVD of ''TheDarkKnight''.

* ShoutOut: [[TheEighties Lots and lots.]] Of note, we have:
** Col. Truman's aides are named [[{{Aliens}} Hicks and Vasquez]].
*** And the Marmite Twins' plan in "Prisoners" is basically to "[[KillItWithFire vaporise (the Venjix factory) from sub-orbit]]", a line paraphrased from Ripley's playbook.
** From the first episode, one Grinder apparently survives Dillon's rampage, hobbling for a few steps before collapsing to reveal that half of it is gone. [[RoboCop Apparently its designers also gave us the ED-209.]]
** Ziggy's last lines during the 'interrogation' in episode 2 include "[[{{Titanic}} she lives on now, only in my memories.]]"
** Summer was almost forced to marry a man named [[{{MASH}} Chaz Winchester IV]].
** Dr. K is a [[DeathNote socially awkward genius who, for the first several episodes, is seen and heard only through a computer screen where she's represented by a single letter and uses voice-altering technology. Not to mention her diabetic sweet tooth.]]
*** The computer screen thing sounds like a shout out to GoGoSentaiBoukenger's Mr Voice, who also turned out to be a genius teenage girl.
*** And of course the two guys chained-together and yanking each other around happens as well.
** Between graduation and Corinth, Flynn joins some aborigine people as part of a Peace Corps-like group, and ends up with some [[{{Braveheart}} familiar-looking facepaint]].
** Flashback montages of Flynn from that same period were firing by [[ShaunOfTheDead awfully]] [[HotFuzz fast]].
** The leader's name is [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Scott, and he's the more heroic type]], whereas [[{{Wolverine}} the guy with the metal implanted all over his body (Dillon) is the brooding bad boy who steals the spotlight like whoa.]] Bonus points for having them butt heads over their vehicles.
*** Don't forget Dillon searching for hints to his missing memories by heading out to find a location in the middle of nowhere, its location plucked from his subconscious...
*** And "In And Out" actually had Dr K uttering "Scott, Summer..."
** It's a bit of a stretch, but the MOTW from "Blitz", being a MadScientist who speaks in CreepyMonotone and gives Dillon the codename [[LawOfAliennames D44]] reminded this troper a lot of [[KeroroGunsou Kururu]].
** Summer [[KamenRider jumps off her motorcycle and does a slow-motion flying kick attack, hitting the enemy in the process]].
*** Probably unintentional, but Ziggy is shown doing Old Gen-esque henshin poses in "Not So Simple".
** During Flynn and Gemma's [[HardWorkMontage assembly of the Road Attack Zord]], the background music [[TheJimmyHartVersion sounds awfully like]] {{A-ha}}'s "Take On Me".
*** Between that scene and her lugging a tub of popcorn around in "Heroes Among Us," you sure we aren't talking about RealGenius?
** From 'Ancient History', Dr K evades capture using the [[LostInACrowd strategy employed]] at the climax of ''[[Film/ThreeAmigos Three Amigos]]'', with a bit from the Agents of TheMatrix thrown in.
** In 'Run Ziggy Run', an episode centering around the local mafia and the debt Ziggy owes them, the important B-plot revolves around Tenaya working with the Scorpion Cartel to steal a briefcase, [[PulpFiction the contents of which are unknown, but which cast a golden glow whenever someone opens it]].
** Fresno Bob is named after a character mentioned exactly once in ''EscapeFromNewYork''.
*** Tenaya 7 also uses dirty diplomacy to decide who should lead after Venjix was thought dead. "No one attacks till this hits the ground." [[EscapeFromLA Then she proceeds to attack Shifter and Crunch before it does.]]
** Tenaya 7 is fast becoming the queen of this trope. As if picking the alias [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} 'Tenaya Sevinson']] in her debut wasn't enough of an indication.
*** After her debut, she gains the ability to [[TheAddamsFamily de-attach her hand]] and have it do recon/run missions.
*** Her "calling card" is the same tune used by a one [[TheWire Omar Little]], it's even used in the same chilling way.
*** In "Ranger Yellow pt 1" we hear her going [[WackyRaces 'oh, drat' and then 'double drat']] towards the end of the scene.
*** In "Three's A Crowd": [[LooneyTunes "Looks like it's Megazord season." * blam* ]]
*** Tenaya executes [[StreetFighter the Frankensteiner]] in "Key To The Past", [[spoiler:which is appropriate as this is the week where she's revealed to be a brainwashed Dragon much like Cammy was. Which might also explain her braids.]]
** During the search for the new Green Ranger, the judging panel consisted of [[AmericanIdol an african-american, a female, and someone from the British Isles]]
** In one episode, when soldiers are blasting away at Sawbot V2, he tells them to stop, going word for word, "[[StarWars That armor's too strong for blasters!]]"
** In "End Game", the music playing [[spoiler:when all the hybrids in Corinth are activated]] sounds like the "Terminator on the rampage" theme from TheSarahConnorChronicles.
*** Also Episode 17, Prisoners, had the following conversation:
-->'''Summer:''' It's moving too fast.
-->'''Dillon:''' Not for me.
-->'''Summer:''' How are you reading that?
-->'''Dillon:''' [[{{Terminator}} I am a machine.]]
** And then, in Ranger Red, after the briefing Marcus Truman gives to his team, there is this:
-->'''Marcus:''' Questions?
-->'''Scott:''' But sir, what's our exit plan? How do we get our birds home once the city shields are raised?
-->(explosion and rocks falling from the ceiling)
-->'''Marcus:''' What's the matter, little brother? [[StarshipTroopers You want to live forever?]]
** Black-suited handlers in a secret institute dedicated to churning out Tykebombs... [[{{Firefly}} all that's missing are the blue gloves.]]
** Ziggy is greeted in the prison cafeteria with the following:
-->'''Ronin:''' Ziggy! You've got a lot of nerve showing your face in the city, [[TheEmpireStrikesBack after what you pulled]].
** Venjix's plan in "In Or Out" seems oddly similar to [[{{Spaceballs}} one used in a Mel Brooks parody]].
** Flux overthruster? [[BackToTheFuture Flux capacitor]]?
** Watching Dr. K's [[DayInTheLimelight spotlight episode]] and its flashback scenes to her time in Alphabet Soup, one can't help but think that [[{{Portal}} the cake is a lie]].

* ChildrensTelevisionIsChildish: Holy Tommy Oliver, this might be the best subversion in recent years. Aside from the dark tone, complex story, and strong characters, the three biggest points that have been sticking in the collective craw of older ''Rangers'' fans for years were all mentioned, used, or otherwise knocked down:
** [[BloodlessCarnage Blood]]: Became a plot point. In one scene, Dillon injured Tenaya 7 enough to draw blood, showing her she was human-with-robot-parts instead of robot-with-human-parts.
** [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms Guns]]: Averted when the two agents at Alphabet Soup point very real-looking guns at Dr. K.
** [[NeverSayDie Death]]: The apocalyptic wasteland implying the death of 99% of the world is a given, but there was also the ''on-screen death'' of Summer's butler, Andrews.

*** Corinth seems to be located in Cancun, Mexico. In "Rain", Dillon turns on the radio and the woman gives the exact coordinates of Cancun as Corinth's location. Reinforced because the shape of the coastline around Cancun is identical to the wire map location of Corinth in the show's intro.

As for the series itself, the final arc begins with a WhamEpisode even by the standards of a Wham Season like this: [[spoiler: you know how Dillon's a hybrid with all this evil Venjix tech in him that may take over him someday?
