I just finished episodes 3 and 4 of Kamen Rider X. The fights in this show can get pretty brutal when he starts smacking people around with that Ridol Stick. It just looks painful. The enemies are pretty vicious, too. Killing, trying to kill, shoving a lady and her kid into a car compactor... It's not ridiculous like the public casualties in Kuuga, it fits.

Also, as cheesy as they are, I really like the monster outfits in this series. They're crude in their execution compared to what has been turned out in recent years, and there is a fundamental difference in the design aesthetics in these older shows and the monsters of today. It really makes for an interesting change, visually.

They use miniatures quite cleverly, too. The music is also entertaining and, I'm guessing, representative of its time in Japanese television production: lots of horns and dramatic male voices.

Though, I do have to admit, in reference to these specific episodes, Medusa went out like a chump.
