- ―Rita cheering on the Rangers[src]
Rita Repulsa is a villain that has time and time again fought against the Power Rangers.
History
Joining Lord Zedd along with their lackeys Goldar and Mordant in tow, they slipped into Earth when Lord Zedd realized that a Hyperlock Chamber had surfaced in Angel Grove. Despite her disgust and reservations, Zedd frees the prisoner, revealing him to be the legendary villain Ivan Ooze, whom she immediately takes a liking to, referring to him as a 'real man'.
However, when Ooze returns and it turns out he hadn't destroyed the Rangers, Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa begin to berate Ooze, which does not sit too well with the evil tyrant. Zedd and Rita are overpowered by Ooze, and he miniaturizes them, trapping them in a snow globe, leaving Ooze with the moon base and lackeys to do as he pleases.
However, when things begin to turn around for the Rangers, Rita Repulsa and Zedd cheer the Rangers on, knowing full well that destruction is to come to Ivan Ooze for crossing the Rangers.
Rita is last scene with Zedd (having been freed due to Ivan’s death) angrily entering the throne room where Mordant is serving Goldar on the throne no doubt ready to punish both of them severely for betraying her and Zedd.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Rita Repulsa is portrayed by Julia Cortez and voiced by Barbara Goodson.
Design
- Rita Repulsa looks very similar to her TV counterpart, despite being played by a different actress. However, there were some redesigns. The dangling rope from her headdress no longer meet and her collar has been simplified to be non-circular and adorned with a simple triangular pattern. Despite always being seen with her golden two bracelets in the series, here, Rita is seen with one bracelet only. Her wand was made thicker and more ornate.
- It is not mentioned if Rita, in this incarnation, is married to Lord Zedd like her TV counterpart. The two constantly bickering with each other may imply the two were simply partners.
Etymology

Notes
- Carla Perez and Julia Cortez were cast at almost the same time, with one going on to portray the TV version and the latter, the movie version as they shot in Sydney, Australia.
