31 years ago, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans were introduced to a three-part story known as The Wedding, which took place across episodes 41, 42, and 43. The episode would bring Rita Repulsa back into the fold after her exile at the hands of Lord Zedd. Rita uses a love potion on Zedd during his Centennial Recharge, and by the end of the arc, Rita and Zedd end up getting married. This whole arc has been viewed as one of the series’ more divisive moments, but the story was created directly because of the filming of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie, which threw a wrench into the filming of the series.
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie Directly Caused The Off The Wall Storyline
One of the bigger moments of the Mighty Morphin era was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie, which would debut in theaters in 1995. That also led to some substantial changes in the flow of the show’s production during the second season, as the team had to balance producing the movie right alongside the already demanding television show, but there was another major element the show had to work around during this time as well.
The movie was obviously a major priority for the studio and the franchise, but the show also had contractual obligations to the network that weren’t changing, and the same group of actors was at the center of both. During a previous interview, lead writer and producer Tony Oliver revealed that due to the actors being busy working on the film, they had to find ways to shoot around their schedule, and that also meant that anyone who wasn’t working on the film was busy shooting footage for the show.
