Best of the Best of the Best (instrumental)

Errors[]

On more than one occasion Mrs. Hammond's voice doesn't match her lip movements.
In some shots of the stolen police car the license plate was backwards and there was Japanese writing on the side.

Notes[]

Ashley's surname "Hammond" is stated here on-screen with her grandmother being known as "Mrs. Hammond" meaning she is from Ashley's fathers side of the family.
The battle against Mamamite is slightly different from its Sentai counterpart. As the Silver Ranger was not introduced yet, unlike his Sentai counterpart, Ashley was included in the battle unlike her counterpart who was not. The scenes of the Quadroblaster and Spiral Saber Booster Mode were also added in for this battle in the PR adaption as well.
Because of the use of a long Sentai sequence involving the Yellow Ranger on the side of the police car, they had to use the car from Japan. This causes issues since Japan drives on the other side of the road from the United States. They had to mirror-flip the footage so Ashley's Grandmother would be driving on the correct seat and side of the road (this is noticeable right after she runs down Termitus, when the camera zooms in on the license plate). It is also clear to see the Japanese Police markings on the car, as well as the color scheme that is famous with the white and black paint scheme.
This is the first time in PRIS that a monster is beaten without exploding. Termitus is frozen with a new blast from Astro Delta Megazord, and then hit with a Flying Power Punch to explode into ice shards.
First appearance of Ashley's Battle Blade.
The plot of this episode is similar to Lightspeed Rescue's episode "The Fifth Crystal" where the Yellow Ranger must find a way to appease her grandmother.
