Power Rangers was a weird idea to begin with. The entire process of taking not just the concept but the actual footage from a Japanese show, dubbing in new dialogue, and splicing it together with new scenes of American actors was bound to get a little strange, and that's before you throw in the fact that they were starting with the 17th season of their Japanese counterpart and editing it so that it was less about a moon witch who wanted to murder the descendants of the dinosaurs and more about a quintet of "teenagers with attitudes" who mostly wanted to help underprivileged kids and clean up pollution around their school. So yeah, the baseline level of insanity that you're going to get from Power Rangers is already pretty high.

Every now and then, though, they crank it all the way up to the stratosphere. Things sort of settled down after a while when they started doing closer adaptations of the source material (which at least had some kind of logic, strange as it might be), but those first 10 years were the Wild West, man. So, since I've spent the last year watching every single episode, let's take a trip into the archives for the craziest episodes of Power Rangers.
