The '90s tokusatsu fever dream that spawned a million childhood nightmares and one iconic grasshopper hero.
A recap special of Kamen Rider Black, the first of its kind preceding a similar special dedicated to Choujin Sentai Jetman.
Practical Effects
Gross-out monster suits that put CGI to shame. That birthing scene? Iconic.
Acting
Tetsuo Kurata commits to every anguished scream like his life depends on it.
Production
Toei's grimy urban sets reeking of diesel and dystopia.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Black marked Toei's deliberate pivot toward darker, more adult storytelling after the franchise's toy-commercial decline in the '80s.
This recap special was rushed out to capitalize on Black's unexpected cult success before RX premiered, stitching together footage with new narration.
