Trini's funeral scene may be a nod to Thuy Trang who died in September 2001. Co-Stars David Yost and Amy-Jo Johnson attended her funeral.
Carla Perez reprises her role as Rita Repulsa from the television series and Turbo movie.
In this unofficial entry in the series Billy/Blue is portrayed as gay and a prominent figure in the LGBT community. This may be a tribute to David Yost, the actor who played the role in the original series, who quit the show due to being mocked on set for being gay.
Jason David Frank, the original Tommy/Green Ranger from the show, was approached for a role but turned it down due to the adult nature of the film, citing specifically the drugs and foul language. He made these comments public via Twitter upon release of the film.
Divatox and Scorpina (played by adult film stars Bree Olsen and Amia Miley) are the two women Zack is with in his bed. In the original release they were topless but it was later edited to show them in bras.
