Weekend Review – Kamen Rider: The First
In terms of Tokusatsu (Japanese Special Effects Films & Series) especially those of the Henshin (transforming) hero sub-genre, there are a 3 main franchises. A holy trinity that has stood the test of time. One of these – the Super Sentai Franchise – isn’t available in the US in its original form, instead being available in the localized form of the Power Ranger series.

The trailer, done entirely in live-action, featured actors Michael Jai White as Jax and Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade, and took a much more realistic take on the franchise. Over the days after the trailer, from various sources we’ve put together where the trailer came from and why. Details and embedded video of the trailer below the cut. Warning – this trailer is NSFW and should be considered equivalent to a “Red Band” trailer. Continue reading →
