Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMultiple original cast members were unable to return due to a number of circumstances that have occurred since the end of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers:
- Thuy Trang who portrayed Trini Kwan, had passed away in September 2001. As such, this special is specifically dedicated in her honor with the story revolving around Trini's daughter, Minh Kwan.
- Austin St. John, who portrays Jason Scott, had been arrested for legal issues in May 2022 and put on probation, which prohibits him from traveling other than for convention appearances.
- Jason David Frank, who portrayed Tommy Oliver, declined to return for the special as he was dealing with a series of personal issues at the time. The actor sadly had passed away in November 2022. Furthermore, Frank had previously expressed his intent to distance himself from Power Rangers to focus on his lead film Legend of the White Dragon, which was posthumously released on what would have been his 50th birthday. Like with Trang, Once & Always is also dedicated to Frank as well.
- Amy Jo Johnson, who portrays Kimberly Ann Hart, was asked to return and reprise her role in the special, but she ultimately declined due to unspecified reasons. Despite so, Johnson did however announce her collaboration with Boom! Studios to write an original comic series for the franchise's anniversary.

Featured review
Only for fans
Power Rangers entering the circle of nostalgia. Netflix did what a reboot couldn't do last decade: round up a couple of familiar faces and crank up the nostalgia machine.
As a child I was part of the child audience that never missed an episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and this 1-hour special brought back a lot of good memories, but that doesn't necessarily mean this is good quality stuff. While almost all of the dynamics were reproduced in the likeness of the original series, there are details that went way back, such as the giant robot battles. The move from mockups to CGI didn't do the show any favors, as the practical effects were part of the episodes' appeal. The script is also too basic and the acting is lousy. Now, we must consider that a product like Power Rangers was never something that required a high demand for the actors, so the bad level is quite to be expected.
Recommended only for lovers of the original series, since if you don't know anything about the Power Rangers, you will waste your time with a rather questionable medium-length film.
