MMPR 329.

Yellow Ranger stands in a gold & black rippling circle, spreading arms out, lightning strikes her, and in a flash, her suit turn to the glittery Metallic Armor modes, causing her to cross her arms down.

MMPR 229.

CGI model of planet Earth spins on its axis in space.

Same model used for "Rangers Back in Time", but different space background and effects added over it. So it's not really recycled footage, per se.

30 second sequence of Rita, Zedd, Rito, and Goldar growing giant and then walking about, with new dialogue.

Altered to fit in end credits.
