The Mutiny is the fifty-eighth episode of the Power Rangers Mighty Morphin.

Synopsis[]

Rita Repulsa creates the Pirantishead monster who freezes four of the Dinozords and took control of the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and Dragonzord.

Plot[]

The Power Rangers have entered themselves in a four-wheeler race to raise money for charity. As always, Bulk and Skull brag that they will defeat the heroes, even though Kimberly reminds them that it's a charity event. Mr. Caplan drops the green flag and the race is on. Up in the Moon Palace, Rita Repulsa is getting ready to launch her newest scheme to destroy the Power Rangers so she asks Finster to create a piranha monster named Pirantishead.

Back on Earth, Bulk and Skull have crashed their four-wheelers and are attempting to steal the Rangers' own when Putties arrives and send them into a panic. Zordon summons the Power Rangers to the Command Center with distressing news of Pirantishead's arrival. The Rangers morph and arrive to save them. Pirantishead appears in Angel Grove to taunt the Rangers and shows his power by blasting buildings to pieces. The Rangers respond by summoning the Dinozords however Pirantishead responds by freezing the Mastodon, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, and Sabertooth Tiger Dinozords in place.

Although the other Zords are frozen, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord is still active and the Rangers summon it to take on Pirantishead. The monster takes control of Tyrannosaurus, which then attacks the Rangers instead. After receiving a power boost from Zordon, a recharged Tommy arrives and the others apprise him of the situation. Tommy summons the Dragonzord to protect them from Tyrannosaurus. The two Zords are evenly matched, but Dragonzord is successfully in keeping Tyrannosaurus at bay. However this doesn't last long as Pirantishead seizes the opportunity to take control of Dragonzord too.

The Rangers are desperately trying to avoid the Tyrannosaurus and Dragonzord's attacks. Tommy attempts to distract the Zords by playing the Dragon Dagger, and the Rangers leap to the top of a nearby building in an effort to reach the Zords' controls. That doesn't work, and the Rangers decide to retreat and consult with Zordon.

Back at the Command Center, Zordon and Alpha tell the Rangers that the Dinozords must be quickly unfrozen before much more serious damage approaches. Billy suggests he may be able to make a device that would block the signal controlling the Zords. Trini and Billy head off to work on the device in his lab, but Pirantishead is spotted at the rally and the other Rangers are forced to fight more Putties in order to keep the racers from getting hurt.

At the rally, Bulk and Skull have stolen two four-wheelers from the Rangers and are trying to figure out the way to the finish line. Pirantishead appears and uses his powers to send the four-wheelers driving backwards. The monster then confronts the Rangers again and summons the Tyrannosaurus and Dragonzord to destroy the Rangers.

Billy and Trini arrive with the device to stop Pirantishead's signal and activate it to no effect. With the Zords closing in on them, the Rangers form the Power Blaster and initially aim them at their Zords, but turn and blast Pirantishead at the last second. With the monster distracted, Billy fixes the device (he had put a battery in backwards) and activates it. At once, the attacking Zords are halted and the rest are unfrozen.

Furious, Rita uses her magic to make Pirantishead grow. As they approach each other, Megazord blocks a high kick from Pirantishead. They lock up, switch positions, then Megazord breaks the lock before sparkily punching Pirantishead. Megazord poses as Pirantishead again rushes forward, only to be side-stepped by Megazord which then blocks a fish-chuck punch and sparkily backhands Pirantishead. Pan up from his back-staggering feet, as Pirantishead is dazed and smoking, then thrusts fish-chuck forth, then to mouth, playing it like a flute.

The Dragonzord arrives as it roars and motions arms however he gets controlled again by the piranha monster. He then ties the Megazord with his chains and lets the Dragonzord attack him with its tail. Tommy arrives and regains control of his zord, leading him to betray Pirantishead, who later electrocutes the Megazord, and help the Rangers. The Megazord finishes off then Pirantishead meanwhile, Rita rages in her palace and berates all of her minions.

Back at the Command Center, Tommy is informed that the Dragonzord's power is now as limited as his own and must be used sparingly, but the Rangers are confident that they will get their friend back to his full power. Everybody enjoys a good laugh at Bulk and Skull, who are still stuck on their out-of-control four-wheelers.

The Rangers teleports to them and use Billy's device to get the vehicles back to normal, sending Bulk and Skull onto the ground in a heap. As Kimberly and Tommy help them recover, the bullies boast that they're going to expose the Power Rangers for who they really are. The Rangers simply laugh at the notion, but agree to give Bulk and Skull a lift to the finish line, where the group brings up the rear of the pack.

Errors[]

  • When the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord lands from jumping into the city, it is clearly in the countryside and not the city.
  • When Jason said “we’re not beat yet Rangers” at the start, the buildings surrounding the Rangers suddenly vanish.
  • When Jason says that the Rangers' only hope is Tommy and his Zord, no debris surrounds them but much of it is piled around them when Tommy arrives.
  • When they began the city rampage, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and Dragonzord land despite having no reason to jump.
    • Mountains can be seen in the background behind the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord despite them being in the city.
  • When searching for the Zords and Pirantishead, Zack and Tommy's stunt actor can be seen through their visors.
  • After Tommy catches a Putty mid-jump kick which was aimed at Jason, they throw him sideways but the next shot has them throwing him forwards.
  • Despite Pirantishead playing his flute to use his energy blasts, freeze mist, and Zord control smoke, the mist itself is coming from the center of his mouth. This is most evident when he takes control of Bulk and Skull's vehicles.
  • When the man with the binoculars says “Check this out” after seeing Bulk and Skull reversing infinitely, his lips do not move.
  • When the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord and Dragonzord nearly step on the Rangers before being released from Pirantishead's spell, the shadows on the ground show two people holding the feet in order to create the forced perspective of the shot.
  • When Trini coughs to get Bulk and Skull's attention to inform them that they had to double up on their quadbikes, her mouth does not move.

Notes[]

  • It mark the last appearance of the original intro and the last time Jason David Frank is credited as "Jason Frank". Future credits would credit his full name.
  • Zack mentions Pudgy Pig from Food Fight when they worried about the next monster would send their ways.
  • This marks the first time the Rangers go directly to using Zords against a monster without trying to fight it hand-to-hand.
  • It features the first time morphed Rangers do not wear their helmets.
  • The book "Lord Zedd Strikes Back" was based on this episode.
