Errors

 * In Part II, the Tengas caught Kat but then teleported her a few foot away to give her to Garbagemouth instead of simply teleporting away with her.
 * In Part II, the Rangers send Kat back into the hospital to wait with Kimberly as if that was offering her any extra protection.
 * In Part III, when Kat remembers her failed dive she is wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit instead of the pink one she'd worn during what was meant to be the same flashback from Part I. Later, when diving for Tommy and Kimberly, the footage shown is the same from the earlier flashback.
 * In Part III, Kimberly takes out her power coin from her communicator.
 * For some reason Rita and Zedd never follow through on their plan to throw Ninjor into the Sea of Sorrow.
 * In Part II, when the doctor says "It's a good thing you were able to call for help right away."; if you look in the corner of the screen the doctor's mouth can be seen and it's not moving. The line was obviously dubbed in later.

Song

 * Tenga Bye Bye (Song in Part 1-2 & Instrumental in Part 3)
