Here for your viewing pleasure are 3 Kamen Rider specials. Kamen Rider ZO, Kamen Rider J, and the 8 minute team up, Kamen Rider World. I’ve already released World and J before so let’s talk about ZO. ZO is not only a great Rider movie but it’s a great Toku movie as well. It’s got everything! Suitmation, stop motion, CGI, pyrotechnics, motorcycle action, awesome 90′s music, annoying child, and more! ZO and J were both directed by the legendary Keita Amemiya. He also designed the monsters for both movies. ZO’s monster are pure nightmare fuel and Amemiya really did a great job designing them. I’ve praised Amemiya a lot in the past but if you haven’t seen his other Toku movies, you really owe it to yourself to do so. I highly recommend the Zeiram Duology, it’s awesome. But back to ZO. Like I said it’s a great movie with some amazing effects that look great even today. A lot of people recommend ZO to newcomers and I totally agree. By the way, hardcore Toku fans should be on the look out for Kenji Ohba (Battle Kenya, DenjiBlue, Space Sheriff Gavan, That one guy in episode 3 of JAKQ that exploded, One of Shurikenger’s disguises) and Morinaga Naomi (Annie in Space Sheriff Shaider) while watching ZO. While watching J look out for Mochizuki Yuta aka TyrannoRanger Geki (He’s not hard to miss, trust me). While World features Shiro Izumi aka DragonRanger Burai!
Does this mean you might possibly do Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue?
As much as I actually love Shin I have no plans to do that movie.
