Overview
Doctors Kazamatsuri and Onizuka are geneticists researching cures on diseases such as AIDS and cancer by performing experiments to strengthen the human body. The test subject is Shin Kazamatsuri, motorcycle racer son of Doctor Kazamatsuri. Unknown to them, their operation is funded by a syndicate group, who plan to use this research to have the bodies of men strengthened for their own gain—they have already been experimenting in the field of cyborg soldiers, to a less-than-successful attempt. However, they did not count on Onizuka’s own secret ambitions; the mad Onizuka wanted to create a new species, by fusing a grasshopper’s DNA with the test subject’s, in order to start a new civilization and be their god. He has tested on himself, but seems to be having greater success with Shin.

Viewing Notes
Watched this again on the rebroadcast since I don’t know when I’ll get another chance. It’s soooooooooo fucking weird and blows my mind that it’s a Kamen Rider flick. The cyborg soldier stuff is normal for this and even all the wacky talk about grasshoppers being the perfect creature to engineer with a human is on point. It’s the unborn baby stuff that is just nuts nevermind that Ai gets pregnant during the apparent nude scene so she’s like 1 day pregnant but they keep showing the weird grasshopper human baby as tho it’s gestated for six months or so. Weird shit.
I also love that the woman leading the outside forces to take down the bad ISS people really enjoys firing her M202 Flash rocket launcher. It’s like, “hey we were able to rent this M202 so lets be sure to use it… IN EVERY SCENE!”
Man, I would love to own this movie, too. I think it would be a fun movie night flick b/c it’s so batshit.
