Spoilers for Kamen Rider: The First are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Kamen Rider: The Next was the second of Toei's theatrical revamps of the Showa-era portion of the Kamen Rider franchise. It was released in 2007.The events pick up two years after the last film. Takeshi Hongo is now a high-school teacher and Hayato Ichimonji is just counting down the days before his cybernetic implants kill him. Our heroes are thrust into action when a bizarre series of murders occur; the calling card being the single "Platinum Smile" playing in the background. A further investigation by our heroes discovers that not only is its singer, Chiharu Kazami, dead, but the single itself is part of Shocker's latest nefarious scheme. The Double Riders soon find themselves battling a band of evil twins, led by two new Shocker Kaijin and Kamen Rider V3, who is none other than Chiharu's brother Shiro Kazami.

The Worf Effect
 Kamen Rider: The Next / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Arguably Hongo against the Shocker Riders the first time. He still put up a strong fight, despite being heavily outnumbered. The Shocker Riders are all superior to Hongo in terms of overall specs, being based off the stronger Ichimonji and powered up even further thanks to nanomachines. On paper, Hongo should be the weakest Modified Human in the movie. Doesn't stop him from picking apart the Shocker Riders with little effort in the climax, though.

Hidden Heart of Gold: Ichimonji. He acts cold, yet he constantly comes to Hongo's aid in a heartbeat. He's pushing Hongo away because he knows he's going to die soon, and doesn't want Hongo to worry about him. At the end of the film, he acknowledges Hongo as his best friend.

 Kamen Rider: The Next / int_471fdb9e
comment
Defeat Equals Explosion: Both Scissors Jaguar and Chainsaw Lizard, along with single Shocker Rider during the chase scene, are unsurprisingly met their demise this way. However, while Scissors Jaguar and that one Shocker Rider's explosions are more subdued and "smoky", Chainsaw Lizard's explosion is bigger and fiery. The flames resulted from her explosion were also got expanded by mutated Chiharu, eventually engulfing the whole Shocker's facility along with the restaurant used as it's facade.

Badass Teacher
 Kamen Rider: The Next / int_498a6a21
comment
Badass Teacher: Undoubtedly Hongo. When some thugs attempt to kidnap one of his students (right in front of the school, in the middle of the day, no less) and drag her into their car against her will, the principal just tells Hongo to ignore it. Hongo fails to heed his advice, and proceeds to stop the car with one hand. When one of the thugs attempts to run him over with his motorcycle, Hongo completely stops it in its tracks by grabbing the front wheel before it hits him, breaking it off in the process. All this without uttering a single word. This, unsurprisingly, scares his delinquent students so much that they don't dare to humiliate him again.

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: More downplayed example for Chainsaw Lizard. During her previous life as Kazami's secretary, she has nice and elegant personality. After her Unwilling Roboticization via Shocker's aerial nanobots, she become a ruthless Blood Knight with voluptuous quirk. This is best shown when she said fighting gives her "ecstasy" in an erotic manner while rubbing her breasts, before she attacked Hongo for the second time.

Lighter and Softer: Kinda-sorta with V3's backstory. Shiro in the movie was a brilliant business man who became a Shocker cyborg, along with his sister. Shiro in the original show was a man who happened to witness Destron, and thus had his whole family slaughtered right in front of him (and that includes his sister), and only became V3 when he was on a verge of dying.

Hidden Track: An actual single for "Platinum Smile" was released to support the film. The final track on the single is 10 minutes long, but it's about 6 minutes of silence after the actual final song ends. The extended bit ends with a short clip of "Platinum Smile" before some static interference, followed by a voice over from Chiharu saying that she's come to kill you.
