Kamen rider interesting facts collection: In this episode, I will use some rare scattered pictures collected and compile them into a special topic!

For the earlier special photo album, Amazon stopped updating it on the 6th. I thought that Strong Man No. 7 would like to stay in October and write to cooperate with the launch of the Strong Bone Sculpture, because I want to buy a Suzuki GT380 model before October and use it to modify it into a strong motorcycle. However, there were too many setbacks in the process. The person who sent the sample has not yet sent it, and the person who promised to draw the 3D module has not yet started. So it should be impossible to make this motorcycle ready before October…perhaps stillbirth is more likely to be achievable.

But because the boss hopes to write more special photography articles, I will use some rare scattered photos collected in this series and compile them into a special feature! Because these scattered pictures are not enough to start a special topic, I can only post pictures in the special photo area on FB. Hope you all will like it!

Hongo fiercely piloted the Tornado to transform:

In this photo, it can be seen that Fujioka Hiroshi is riding the “first edition” Tornado, which was used for filming the transformation. Because the initial transformation relies on “wind power”, you have to drive the Tornado and let the windmill on your belt attract the wind power. This scene is basically used for a long time in the transformation scene of the old No. 1, as well as the process of the motorcycle transforming into the Tornado. If you pay careful attention, this Tornado is different from the one officially used in the show. The most obvious thing is that there is a gap under the front of the car.

Before the Tornado was transformed, it was the transformation of the Tornado

The Tornado is just traveling on flat ground in the show, but it has to film sharp turns and jumps! Just use something lighter. This motorcycle is usually an ordinary ride for Hong Kong Meng, but in fact it is anything but ordinary! Not to mention that it can be transformed into a cyclone in the show. Even if it is an ordinary motorcycle, it is incredible to have six exhaust pipes. Later, a windshield was added to this car and it became the modified Tornado in the future, and it continued to perform some speeding scenes for the Tornado. Until the Tornado was decommissioned, the Sakurajima 1 era was completely used to modify the Tornado!

Sakurajima No. 1 has already appeared?

Fans all know that Sakurajima One appeared in the 40th and 41st episodes of the series, but in fact, in the era of the old One with light pink eyes, a version of the old One with red eyes had already appeared. The red eyes were usually used when the old One had a lot of power, or for some reshoots.

Newly made old No. 1 and Tornado

Showa’s motorcycles have actually been in disrepair for a long time. We saw at ALL RIDER that the No. 1, 2, and 3 motorcycles were all refurbished. The motorcycles inside were no longer SUZUKI, but HONDA! The V3’s body and body should be redone.

In the 2021 “Kamen Rider Blade + Mecha Sentai: Super Hero Senki”, Toei re-manufactured the leather case of the old No. 1, and Hiroshi Fujioka reprises the role of Takeru Hongo, reprising the scene of the old No. 1 piloting the Tornado on the screen.

Hiroshi Fujioka is the only protagonist who has personally driven all No. 1 mounts.

Whether it is the first version of the Tornado, the Tornado, the pre-transformation model, or the modified Tornado, Hiroshi Fujioka has ridden them all! According to the fact that there is a stuntman, he no longer needs to ride the new Tornado after the transformation. However, in fact, many times the guest collaborators at the public performances, Hiroshi Fujioka, rode the new Tornado! In the early Showa VS Heisei drama version, you can also see him galloping on the New Tornado at the end of the film. In addition to the Suzuki GT380 before the transformation of the New Tornado, and the 2016 new style NEO Tornado of Kamen Rider One, Hiroshi Fujioka should be the rider with the most motorcycle styles in the entire series! And the most rare thing is that he has ridden it himself.

Has Sasaki ever worn a leather case in person?

We all know that Hiroshi Fujioka initially wore a leather suit to play the role of the old number one. Later, due to an accidental injury, Tsuyoshi Sasaki took over the role of number two. But for fear of another accident involving actors filming dangerous action scenes, Kamen Rider is always handled by actor Tetsu Nakayashiki. But according to Japanese fans, Tsuyoshi Sasaki actually wore the leather case of Kamen Rider No. 2 in a specific episode.

He personally served as the holster actor for Kamen Rider No. 2 in the first few chapters of “Kamen Rider” Chapter 2 – between Chapters 14 and 17. The main reason was that the action actors (Tetsuya Nakaya Shiki and others) were not in place due to schedule or shooting arrangements, or additional shots were needed, so Sasaki went to shoot some close shots and action scenes by himself. The specific scenes speculated by fans include some short movements that do not require difficult martial arts, close interactions with extras, and a small amount of posing for the camera. The evidence is the “Judo One Line” stance that Sasaki once performed. The exact same stance can be found in Hayato Ichimonji and Kamen Rider 2.

No. 2’s transformation pose is not original to Sasaki Tsuyoshi?

There is a saying that Sasaki Tsuyoshi was unable to recreate Hongo’s motorcycle riding transformation because he did not know how to ride a motorcycle in the early stages and did not have a motorcycle driver’s license. That’s why we created the practice of in-situ transformation, which also led to the birth of the transformation posture. But someone carefully observed that Ichimonji’s transformation action combination had actually been in this posture as early as the old No. 1. When the old No. 1 was surrounded by enemies, he would assume a combat-ready posture, and then shout: “RIDER FIGHT!”.

Go Sasaki rides the new Tornado

Because after the transformation, there is an actor in the leather suit, and there is also a dedicated stunt person for the motorcycle ride. Generally speaking, unless the plot requires it, it is rare to see the protagonist riding an exclusive motorcycle, so in the past few decades, there have been few photos of Tsuyoshi Sasaki riding any generation of Tornado. On the contrary, in recent times, there have been photos leaked of elderly people riding the new Tornado.

Hiroshi Miyauchi who personally wears the V3 leather case

Miyauchi Hiroshi loves the role of V3 and keeps coming back to make guest appearances. So has he personally worn the leather case? He once said in a program interview that some of the people in V3 were actually created by him himself in some of the promotional pictures used in magazine shoots.

STROGER with extra-large peephole

Compared with the previous six knights, the strong man’s head and compound eyes are also particularly large! The compound eyes do not use reflective car lights, but have countless small holes in the green compound eyes. The field of view should be much wider than that of other riders. However, when it comes to riding a motorcycle, a strong helmet needs a version with a larger opening, because riding a motorcycle requires a wider field of view.

Is SKY TURBO a tribute to the new Tornado?

Although everyone currently calls him Sky Knight, it was actually called “Kamen Rider (New)” when it was aired. It was originally planned to be a new work! The Sky Knight is a new knight. The color of the Sky Knight is darker in the early stage. Its dark green helmet feels like a tribute to the old one, and its mount SKY TURBO also looks very similar to the “New Tornado”. The difference is that the mainstream design of the New Tornado is “streamlined”, while the SKY TURBO is “angular”! Note that its color scheme also looks very similar to “New Tornado”.

V3 rides Sky Turbo

This is not a plot in the play, but a promotional article in the magazine, and the content is to introduce V3 When I tried riding the Sky Turbo, I found that the V3 was not very adaptable to a car without pedals. Because Sky Turbo is controlled by the rider’s center of gravity.

The prototype of the Sky Turbo is the Suzuki SP370 off-road motorcycle. The production team produced about three of them. One of them was used as a “Fake Skyturbo”, with some more yellow stripes and enemy logos on the appearance. Shotaro Ishimori also rode one.

Shotaro Ishimori’s last Japanese knight comparison during his lifetime

Although Shotaro Ishimori passed away on January 28, 1998, his last Kamen Rider work during his lifetime was “Kamen Rider J”. J was released on April 16, 1994. Although the year was Heisei, Toei regarded J as the last Showa Rider.
