Viewing Notes

Bueno is back with another perverse take on tokusatsu. The humor doesn’t work but the action and suit design is decent. Kinda wild that he uses the actual Shocker costumes from Kamen Rider. Seems like Toei wouldn’t allow that especially in a film like this. Then again what do I know.
