If you think this is a run of the mill take on good and evil, go elsewhere.If not, read on.Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue is a Darker and Edgier Direct to Video incarnation of the Kamen Rider franchise released in 1992.It is the story of Shin Kazamatsuri, a simple young man who's experimented on by his father, Dr. Kazamatsuri, and his father's partner, Dr. Onizuka, at the Institute of Super Science Technology. Rather than contributing to a possible cure for diseases as he and his father believe, Shin is instead unknowingly gene-spliced with Grasshopper DNA. This results in him getting the power to become a Grasshopper-monster himself, which the CIA dubs the "Kamen Rider"note rendered in the film as "Masked Rider". This secret puts him and his loved ones in danger from the Syndicate funding the experiment, the CIA, and Onizuka, who can also transform into a Grasshopper-monster.While often shunned by Kamen Rider fans due to its apparent Deconstruction nature, Shin Kamen Rider arguably draws heavy influences from Shotaro Ishinomori's original manga interpretation of Kamen Rider, more specifically the Kamen Rider BLACK manga. Sadly, due to lack of interest and the unfortunate death of Ishinomori, it never got past the prologue, leaving the film as a curious example of when early-90's visceral science fiction met a classic Tokusatsu franchise. In recent years, Shin has made several reappearances in the franchise.Toei Company has now released the film on their official YouTube channel. You can see it here.Not directly related to the similarly-named Shin Kamen Rider, a film directed by Hideaki Anno based on the original series — though, both being Bloodier and Gorier re-imaginings of the same concept, there are many similarities.

 Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Much darker than the previous installments of Kamen Rider at the time, with the only things that come the closest to it in tone being Ishinomori's own manga works. Rather than a traditional cyborg or super-suited human like most Riders, Shin is genetically altered and undergoes a horrifying transformation. The fight scenes are visceral and bloody, and almost everybody in the film dies.

Bloodier and Gorier: Shin's "Finishing Move" is to use his Spine-Cutters on his forearm to cut into his opponent's neck, then rip off their head complete with part of the spine and dripping neon green blood (Eat your heart out, Sub-Zero!) Yes, there actually is a Rider with a more violent attack style than Kamen Rider Amazon. He's also armed with regenerating spikes on his arms, and claws capable of ripping extremely ragged cuts into the bodies of his enemies.

 Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue / int_5ff9310b
comment
Painful Transformation: And HOW! Instead of taking a pose and transforming in a flash akin to his prior Showa counterparts, Shin instead slowly mutates in a horrific, grueling manner as his entire body reshapes itself. It's not very pretty, to say the least. During his second transformation, however, he gets a brief scene where he transforms with his arms outstretched, before becoming Shin. This slower transformation mirrors the way Kotaro would transform in the manga version of Kamen Rider BLACK.

Magic Pants: As mentioned above, Shin loses his clothes when he transforms. However, in the final scene, his pants are back.

Security Cling / Cooldown Hug: After Shin transforms for the first time, he encounters Ai on the road and she exits her car to run to Shin and give him a comforting hug. Shin gently hugs Ai as well with tears in his eyes.

Action Girl: Sarah Fukumachi, the CIA operative. Over the course of the film she orders a raid on Onizuka's lab (and is the only survivor), saves Shin from a sniping attempt, bursts in on the Nebulous Evil Organization's transport of the transformed Onizuka with a rocket launcher, and most likely would have killed Shin in the climax had an organization helicopter not gotten in the way. Even after being peppered with bullets by the gunners on the helicopter and dodging missiles, Sarah's still has enough strength to to blow the helicopter to kingdom come with the same rocket launcher, only finally passing out once the chopper is downed.

comment
Absurdly Sharp Claws: Shin has sharp claws on his hands and they are sharp enough to leave gashes on the Big Bad's face and severely damage the enemy cyborg. Even attempting to give him a handshake for friendship can be a very painful experience.

Clothing Damage
 Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue / int_e61d9a3c
comment
Clothing Damage: Befitting the fact that Shin's transformation is entirely biological, rather than simply obtaining the gear of his rider form, his clothing is destroyed during each transformation sequence as his body reshapes itself, though anything not torn in the first half of the sequence disappears in time for the sequence to conclude.

comment
Cut Short: Despite the fact that the title calls it a prologue, Shin never went any further than the one movie. Kamen Rider Decade's comedy net spinoff has Shin asking the Decade cast to help his petition for a sequel, and subsequently finding success and fame only for the whole thing to be All Just a Dream. Poor Shin.
