[ moans ]

Cut, cut, cut, cut.
Cut, cut, cut, cut.

What now, Biff?!

He blocked my punch.

And your point being?

He can't block my punch.

He's just an alien.

I'm a star.

Well, are you all right?!

I may have sprained a pinky.

What do you want?!

I trained at the royal academy.

I can't work with this!

Out of my way!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

There he is.

Invasion of Blueface.

I can't believe we are extras

in a Biff Star movie.

I hate to break it to you guys

but he doesn't look like
a superhero to me.

Do I detect the slightest
hint of jealousy?

Give me a break.

This acting stuff is easy.

I could do it
with my eyes closed.

Watch out.

I think you need to
keep your eyes open

so you don't get hurt.

[ both laughing ]

Now remember, men

the head of security
is a friend of mine.

So be sure you make
a good impression.

SKULL AND BULK:
You can count on us, sir

to serve and protect.

That's why we're here.

Good. Carry on.

Man, I got to find a way
to be in that movie.

Just think of it.

I could be famous
just like... Biff Star.

Or you could get us
in big trouble

just like Eugene Skullovitch.

Remember your oath.

Hey, is that food free?

What?

Talk about your rank amateurs.

Your first film will be

bigger and better than
they could ever dream.

Really?
I-I mean, of course.

Let me see.

Wow! They have some
really cool monsters.

My movie won't be any good
without good monsters.

Klank, I want those monsters.

Sire, the monsters?

You heard me. Get them.

What about the Power Rangers?

Video vulture will capture them

and they'll be stars of my movie

Invasion of the Ranger Snatchers.

We'll make this the
Power Rangers final performance.

Guys, I'm telling you

I could be a much more
believable action hero

than this Biff Star guy.

But, unfortunately,
you're an extra.

Remember?

Yeah, but if I could
just get close enough

for them to realize
my potential.

Rocky.

BILLY: I put your
biorhythms into my computer

and came up with
this workout program.

Looks like it can work.

Isn't it kind of easy?

Only at the beginning.

Towards the end of the workout

you'll reach your maximum
endurance and strength levels.

I'm game if you are.

Let's give it a shot.

BILLY: I'll monitor your
energy output from over here.

Guys, pace yourselves
and follow the routine.

Pick up the pace.

Okay, now peak and finish it off.

TOMMY: Well, Billy,
how was that?

Mmm.

Man, this Biff guy is brutal.

You better watch out, Rocky.

Hey, you.

Me?

Yeah, you.

Are you talking to me?

How tall are you?

Um... I'm five-ten.

Perfect. Biff's sidekick
just got a job on a soap.

He's out.

Do you think you can handle it?

What? Are you kidding?

Yeah, sure.

Of course.

I'm already falling
behind schedule.

I've got to have my monsters

and you haven't delivered
them to me, Klank.

You'll probably make me
go over budget too.

Temperamental directors.

My gears can't take the stress.

I'm going to have
a mechanical breakdown.

( laughing )

Now a banana for desert.

[ humming ]

[ whistling ]

[ clears throat ]

Hey.

Nice costumes.

Very convincing.

Yeah.

But please, wear your I.D.s

so we know who you are.

A secure set is a safe set.

Come on.

You guys are needed
on the set.

Good afternoon,
Miss Assistant Director.

BULK:
Want a little banana?

Huh?

Trust me, kid.

I know what I'm doing.

Now, you'll be great.

When I say "action," say a line

and then exit
where I showed you, huh?

Great costumes!

Get them ready
for the next shot.

Right.

Sir, I think that there's

something you should know...

Kid, we don't have time to
talk about your motivation.

But you don't understand.

I want to pick it up
right where we left off.

And action.

Go on.

Go on!

I'll handle this, kid.

Wait.

Wait.

Ahh...

I don't think so.

Hey, kid, that was great.

DIRECTOR: Cut!

This is not in the script!

Those are our costumes!

Somebody stop them!

( blowing air )

Security!

Hey, Kat, Tanya!

Come on!

Hey! Huh?

Got to morph.

Let's do it.

Yeah, all right!

Come on!

Boy, talk about
your cast of thousands.

Zordon, something really
strange is going on.

We're going to need help.

Places, everyone.

This location is perfect.

Why, thank you.

Now let's get the camera rolling

and put some great
stuff in the can.

[ beeping ]

We read you, Zordon.

Prince Sprocket has stolen
some movie costumes

and lured the other Rangers
away from town.

I'm going to teleport
to the Power Chamber.

I think there's more to this.

You ready, Adam?

Let's do it.

It's Morphin Time!

Zeo Ranger Four, Green!

Zeo Ranger Five, Red!

I hope they get here soon.

Hey, guys.
What's Sprocket up to?

I don't know, but he sure
brought a lot of help.

Power Rangers... Zeo!

- Yeah.
- That was awesome.

Hey, guys, what's that?

Hey, Power Rangers,
ever monder

what it would be like
to be in the movies?

[ groaning ]

Is everybody okay?

ADAM:
Yeah, I think so.

Good.

ROCKY:
Where are we?

TOMMY:
I have no idea.

ADAM:
What is this place?

Power Rangers,
your attention please.

Your dreams are
about to come true.

You have been given
starring roles

in Prince Sprocket's
latest movie extravaganza.

Not interested.

You don't have a choice.

We'll see about that.

Let's get out of here.

Whoa.

Must be some kind of force field.

[ grunting ]

Let me try.

You've created a disturbance
in the production audio track.

What is this movie, anyway?

Invasion of the Ranger Snatchers.

Catchy title, don't you hink?

Maybe if you hit
the force field again

it will knock it back in sync.

I'll try.

Man, we got to get out of here.

Why don't you hit it

with your Zeo Laser p*stol?

It's worth a try.

Everybody, stand back.

That was a good try, Rangers

but not even your mighty Zords

will be able to help
you this time.

Prince Sprocket
is writing the script

and he demands
complete creative control.

Sit back and relax.

We'll call you to the set
when we're ready.

ALPHA: Have you been able to
get through to the Rangers yet?

No, that force field's
blocking everything.

I'm afraid they're trapped.

Your friends are in great danger

as long as they remain in
Prince Sprocket's back lot.

I know, Zordon.

Unfortunately,
his type of movie

doesn't usually have
a happy ending.

It's time to really mess up
the Rangers' sense of reality.

On my mark!

Roll sound.

This is so much fun!

And... action!

ADAM:
We've got to get out of here.

If only we could use
this phone to call Zordon.

Hello? Hello?

Well, it was worth
a shot at least.

Yeah. I've always thought
phones like this were cool.

Whoa!
Did you see that?

Man, everything's
topsy-turvy here.

Man, this is too weird.

Zeo Rangers Two and Five,
report to the set.

Ready for your debut, Tanya?

Well, I guess so.

Maybe we should go with you.

It's safer to play
by Sprocket's rules.

We'll try go get through

to Billy and Zordon.

Good luck, you guys.

Let's go.

Okay.

With any luck.

We'll all be out of here soon.

Be careful.

Well, you ready?

As I'll ever be.

Let's do it.

Tanya, stay close.

It's the costume from the movie.

It's showtime!

A flower for the lady?

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

Flowers need water.

Much better.

[ whinnying laugh ]

I rerouted our signal

to Sprocket's
closed-circuit frequency.

Hopefully, this will work.

Billy, it seems to have worked.

We're receiving
a transmission now.

I can't believe we're stuck here.

Guys?
Guys, can you hear me?

Billy?

He's on the TV.

Oh, man, this is fantastic.

How'd you do it?

Modern technology, I guess.

Are you all right?

We will be as soon
as we put an end

to Sprocket's
low-budget disaster.

I've been thinking
about something you said.

Yes, Billy?

You said movies like Sprocket's

don't have happy endings.

Well, what if the Rangers
changed that?

By altering the course
of his movie

the Rangers might
recover their powers.

That's what we'll do.

It's time for a rewrite.

Let's find Tommy and Tanya

so we can live happily ever after.

Right, and I'll try
to contact them also.

Thanks, Billy.

Good job.

Come on.

Well, guys, here goes nothing.

Guys, we talked to Billy
and he figured out...

Yeah, I know.

Our opportunity for a happy ending.

We just have to stop that bus.

It's out of control.

Those people will get hurt.

We have to hurry.

[ people screaming ]

How are we...?

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

The chickens must be coming

through a passageway
from the movie world.

We should be able to
go back the same way.

Let's give it a shot, guys.

TOMMY: Let's head
them off at the pass.

ADAM:
I've always wanted to say that.

Hyah!

Ride 'em, cowgirls!

If I can just get close enough.

[ people screaming ]

Hey, buddy, you okay?

Keep your head down!

Stay calm.

We have to get
them off the bus.

You all right?

How about you? You okay?

What happened?

They just disappeared.

We changed the end of the movie.

We're back to reality.

All the ingredients
for a happy ending.

Yes!

I only hope Prince Sprocket

is done with his
less-than-brilliant film career.

A happy ending?

That wasn't my directorial vision.

That bus was supposed
to go off the cliff

with the Power Rangers in it!

Excuse me, sire, I know
how disappointed you must be.

I've taken the liberty

of working up some
new storyboards.

I have a feeling

this ending is more
what you had in mind.

Klank, that's a brilliant solution.

That's what I wanted.

I'm glad I thought of it.

But...

So we meet again.

Looks like you could
use another bath.

BOTH:
Yes! We did it!

That guy's ugly.

Aye, and he's going
to be uglier--

And bigger in just a minute.

Around, around and away!

[ laughing ]
It is I, Rangers!

We need Zeo Zord Power, now!

All right, let's do it!

We're definitely going to need

more firepower this time.

Convert to Zeo Megazord, now!

♪ Zeo! ♪

On course and everything's
looking good.

Time to initiate final lock-down.

ALL:
Zeo Megazord, power up!

Let's finish this guy.

[ train whistle blowing ]

[ yelling ]

♪ Go, go, Power Rangers ♪

♪ Zeo ♪

♪ Power Rangers. ♪

That didn't turn out so well.

Poor, little Sprocket.

The show business world
can be so cruel.

Yes, but there is
a dark side to this.

The movie bug is out of his system.

Break a leg, Rocky.

Thanks, Tanya.

I wish the guys
were here to see this.

I know, but you know
they have to practice.

Rocky, we're sh**ting
the cl*max with the alien first.

Great.
Where do you want me?

No, no,
you don't have to do that.

We have a stand-in
to do it for you.

A stand-in?

Voila.

Action!

Stand back, I tell you!

You don't know
who you're dealing with.

Nice hair.

Cut! Excellent.

Wow, I love show biz.

[ all laughing ]

It's bad luck to wish a good act...

It's going to fall over.

That's a cut.
