Feature Shows Extravaganza

Kamen Rider Kuuga, as the first work in the Heisei Rider series, has achieved excellent results, and both Toei and Rider fans are very satisfied.

But there is one thing that is regrettable.

Other knights have theatrical versions, but Kuuga, the leader of Heisei, does not have an exclusive theatrical version...

There are many theories circulating on the Internet about the reason.

Some people say that it is mainly a matter of funding. At the beginning of Heisei, Aunt Higashi launched multiple projects at once. The stalls were too large and the funds could not keep up, causing the Kuuga Theatrical Edition to be aborted.

Some people also say that this is a problem with the starring role. Joe Odagiri, who plays Yusuke Godai, does not want to continue playing Kuuga.

Others said producer Shigeki Takadera was procrastinating too much. Yajida has come out, but the movie version of Kuuga has not yet been determined. As a result, Yajituo's ratings exploded. In that era when TV dramas were more important than the theatrical version, the Kuuga theatrical version was naturally forgotten...

The real reason, no one knows.

Anyway, until the end, Kuuga did not make a theatrical version, which left fans with great regret.

Meng Lang is a good person.

He thinks, whether it is to connect the past and the future, or to make up for regrets. As the leader of Heisei, Kuuga should leave a theatrical version.

After all, this is a legacy.

Anyway, the actors in the suit are ready-made. How much does it cost to make a theatrical version? Even if the box office performance is terrible, it cannot be worse than the theatrical version produced by Tsuburaya!

Maybe the script will be a little trickier...

But this problem is not serious. After all, the core villain Wolf King has been determined for a long time. Just add a few followers and the villain camp will be formed.

Regarding the setting of the Wolf King, he was the previous King of Grunki before Daguaba (No. 0). There were rumors that he was the original boss of Kuuga the Movie.

Some people may be curious...

Since the Wolf King was defeated by Da Cuba, it proves that his strength is not as good as Da Cuba. How can there be a theatrical BOSS that is not as powerful as the TV drama BOSS?

This is wrong!

In most tokusatsu theater versions, the bosses are stronger than the bosses in TV dramas. But this does not mean that all theater bosses are strong.

As long as the story is full, the plot is vivid and the fights are enjoyable, even if the boss is slightly weaker, it can still be called a qualified theatrical version.

For example, Ultraman Tiga The Movie The Resurrection of Ancient Titans.

No matter how you look at it, the BOSS Dark Demon that appears in this theatrical version is not as strong as Gatanje Er in the TV series. But this does not affect the fact that the Dark Demon has become the BOSS in the theatrical version.

When you have a BOSS, you also need soldiers.

After all, the Wolf King was the former King of Gurungi. Even if he was overthrown by Daguaba, it is normal to have a few loyal younger brothers, right?

This forms the villain camp.

On the side of decency, just use the lead actor from the TV drama. The main rider is Yusuke Godai, the second rider plus correspondent Kaoru Ichijo...

If possible, add a third rider!

Three...three knights?

Bai Cang wondered: Koraga doesn't even have a second-in-command, how can he get the third knight?

Listen to me first...

After interrupting Bai Cang's speech, Meng Lang folded his arms and explained: The performance of Unconfirmed Life Form No. 4 has attracted great attention from the police. In order to resist the unknown Gurungi, they created a set of technological armor called G3 , the shape is quite similar to Kuuga.”

Is this the new knight? Bai Cang was full of confusion on the video call.

Wasn't it him who drafted the new knight's plan? Why did the president create a new knight and it still appeared in Kuuga's movie version?

A new knight indeed!

Meng Lang nodded and said, However, this knight will appear on the scene in 2023!

2023, the year after tomorrow?

Hearing this, Bai Cang realized.

The president's intention is probably to make a Kuuga sequel after the next Knight TV series is completed?

It's not a sequel...

Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said, How should I put it? In addition to the same world view, the plot setting of this new work is completely independent.

That's okay... Bai Cang nodded blankly.

Anyway, this is only 2021, and 2023 is still early. Instead of thinking about the future, it is better to think about how the plot of this theatrical version will unfold.

First of all, the theatrical version will take over the TV drama.

After Daguaba's defeat, peace and tranquility returned to the world.

But behind the calm, an undercurrent is surging. Unconfirmed life forms reappeared, many ordinary people were injured, and the police were dispatched after hearing the news.

After arriving at the crime scene, Ichijo Kaoru had a premonition that something big had happened, and that there might be remnants of unidentified life forms left in the world.

The police attach great importance to it.

They wanted to find Yusuke Godai, but he disappeared after beating Daguba. With no choice but to activate the emergency plan, the police began to imitate Kuuga and research the technological armor G3 system.

This ties into the plot...

The G3 system is a combat armor developed for Gurungi. Once successfully developed, it will pose a fatal threat to Gurungi. After receiving the news, the Wolf King sent people to attack and kill the G3 armor researcher.

Many researchers were killed. In order to protect the Armor Research Institute, the police were on standby and sent a large number of police officers to guard the research institute.

The younger brother was injured, and the Wolf King took action.

As the wolf Gurungi, the Wolf King possesses the power of the ultimate beast. Although in terms of settings, he can't defeat the ultimate insect, ordinary firepower can't really hurt him.

The research institute has been penetrated!

Several researchers were killed, and Sakurako quickly stored computer data in an effort to retain a spark of fire. But at this moment, one paw grabbed her, and the other claw reached for the USB flash drive.

Okay, it's time to end!

At this critical moment, Godai Yusuke, who transformed into the almighty Kuuga, appeared and rescued Sakurako, making Ichijo Kaoru relieved.

After that, it’s a decisive battle!

The plot isn't too complicated and doesn't have too many twists and turns. From a structural point of view, it is about the length of 2-3 TV episodes combined.

About 95+ minutes!

Not too long, not too short.

Considering that after Shirakura finished filming Kuuga, he had to continue filming Dragon Knight, he couldn’t spare time to film the theatrical version. After discussing the plot, Meng Lang asked about the person to supervise the film.

In this regard, Bai Cang has a say.

After all, Empty Self is his creation, and no one understands Empty Self better than he does. If Meng Lang appoints one person, the effect is probably not very good.

Therefore, he let Bai Cang choose.

As long as the person he recommends doesn't have any bad habits and has excellent professional qualities, then it's him.

I do have someone!

Bai Cang hesitated: He is Kuuga's assistant producer. He previously worked in the TBS TV production department and was responsible for many TV dramas on criminal investigation...

Bridge bean sack!

Meng Lang popped out a sentence in Japanese and asked, Excuse me, is the surname of the person you are talking about Omori?

Al?

Bai Cang was stunned and said: President, do you know him? No way! He has only joined the company for less than half a year!

I know, of course I know...

Nobu Omori, please save Toei!

As a famous figure in the knight world, how could he not recognize this person? Although this slogan collapsed in the later stages of the build.

But everyone admits that this guy’s ability to survive is no worse than Bai Cang!
