I didn't know it as kid, but the original TV series was created by dubbing over a Japanese show for the action scenes, and then filming new footage of the American actors for scenes when they're not in costume.
The white ranger was from yet another Japanese show, which is why he came later and didn't fight with the others.
So yeah, don't be surprised that this patchwork creation wasn't full of artistic integrity.

Toys were so in demand that they were nearly impossible to find. Anytime Walmart, Kmart, or Toy's R Us got a shipment, they'd be gone immediately.
