Nightmare Fuel / Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

• A featurette detailing the making of this movie was included on the VHS of The Pagemaster. Everything goes just fine until the ending, where there's a sudden close-up of the villainous Ivan Ooze laughing at you. It then cuts to an eerie shot of the Power Rangers in profile, barely lit and with tense orchestral music playing (taken from the teaser trailer), before a lightning bolt suddenly strikes.
• Ivan Ooze is equally as scary, despite being more camp than Lord Zedd was at the time: in one scene where the kids of Angel Grove are partying down with Ivan's Ooze while their parents are mindlessly wandering to the quarry to "leap to their doom". Said Ooze was advertised and sold by Ivan while wearing an outfit reminiscent of that worn by Merlin in Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders.
  • When he does the above advertising by saying his full name, and having a relatively rubbish disguise, no-one besides the heroes suspect a thing.
    • To be fair to all concerned, at the point Ooze sold his Ooze only the Rangers and Zedd's forces knew he even existed; the Rangers were offworld, Alpha was trying to keep Zordon alive, and Zedd wasn't in a position to do anything even if he'd wanted to.
• Ivan's pure rage at the mere mention of Zordon. He happily ascents to Lord Zedd's request to destroy him, and sets off to do so almost immediately.
  Lord Zedd:I want you to destroy Zordon so that my evil may once again remain supreme!
  Ivan Ooze: I will not only destroy him. I will obliterate his entire legacy. It will be as Zordon of Eltar never existed!!! (thunder clap)
• The assault and destruction of the Command Center. At first, a Faux Affably Evil Ivan enters the chamber, commenting on how fancy he finds the place, and then as he talks with Zordon, he transitions gradually from mildly argumentative and somewhat funny to full-blown villainous rage. And then, arming himself, he takes his revenge and starts blowing up everything around him to kingdom come.
  • The aftermath shown when the Rangers return is not pretty either, with their headquarters destroyed.
  • Most specifically, Zordon is shown outside of his tube, the bold mentor transformed into a frail, helpless old man whose days are almost literally numbered.
    • On top of the above, thanks to the inflated budget, Zordon gets a makeover for the movie, and the giant head he usually manifests as in the tube looks a lot more ghostly and vaguely unnerving.
• The "leap to our doom" thing deserves special mention. Once he'd gotten the brainwashed citizens to complete his Humongous Mecha, he ever so casually tells them to go kill themselves and dismisses them without a thought; they go to do so with no hesitation, hell bent on carrying out the command with nothing anyone can do to stop them. Their own children chase them down and try to push them back—but they're not strong enough and would've gone over the cliff's edge with their parents had Fred, Bulk, and Skull not made use of a nearby high-pressure water cannon.
• Here, we learn that the stuff above Zedd's crown/tiara thing isn't more exposed muscle, but an exposed, pulsating brain.
• As he's advancing on the Ninja Megazord, Morphicon-Ivan breaks part of the suspended monorail track that the kids were using to reach the construction site. Tommy gets there in time to bridge the gap with his Falconzord, but if he'd been even a second too late...
