When Rocky, Tania and Kat take a job as extras in a movie shoot, Prince Sprocket gets bitten by the film making bug and turns the monster costumes into a set of opponents for the Rangers to face in his debut.
Tropes:
- Amateur Film-Making Plot: From Sprocket's point of view. His parents are notably pleased with the failure of his plan due to wanting the film bug out of his systems.
- The Artifact: As seen in Stock Footage, Sprocket's movie production company is named "Buldont Studios", Buldont being the name of his counterpart from Ohranger.
- Ascended Extra: In-Universe; Rocky was cast as an extra alongside Katherine and Tanya, but difficulties with the initial star and his sidekick cause them to bail and for Rocky to replace them.
- Body Double: Skull is used as Rocky's stunt-double in the episode's final scene.
- Continuity Nod: Adam staying out of the movie shoot initially makes sense if you remember MMPR Season Two's "Lights, Camera, Action!" where he admitted to being camera shy.
- Demoted to Extra: Mondo and Machina are only seen at the end of the episode, happy that Sprocket has finally retired from show business.
- Downer Ending: Invoked by Sprocket's "Invasion of the Ranger Snatchers", who intends to have an ending with the Power Rangers being destroyed by the monsters he created.
- Flat Character: None of the monsters besides Leaky Facet and Video Vulture have any lines and don't have official names.
- Innocuously Important Episode: It may seem like a throwaway episode, and in a sense it is, but the footage it uses comes from the Ohranger theatrical movie. Such a movie wouldn't be used for Power Rangers again until Power Rangers Samurai in 2011.
- Prima Donna Director: The director in charge of the movie is obnoxious and smarmy. Not that the main actor is any better, stopping a scene where the monster was supposed to punch him just because he's the star.
- Spy Cam: Video Vulture.
