I watched through the films that Shout Factory put out on their recent Classic Tokusatsu Collection!
Prince of Space
: Weird and absurd, love the villain absolutely hamming things up.
Invasion of the Neptune Men
: There's something about the energy of this one. The silly, unexplained superpowers of the hero, the Neptune Men costumes.
Watari the Ninja Boy
: I spent a lot of the runtime of this movie wondering why the heck it was formatted like a battle shounen, only to realize afterwards that it was in fact based on a shounen manga called "Watari", a manga so obscure that there is basically no information available on it in English. From what I could gather the original manga actually looks super neat, with a story about class liberation during the Tensho era. The movie adapts the first of the manga's three story arcs into a very condensed film, something which I think might make for a cool novelty for fans of the original story but doesn't stand that well on its own. Lots of neat action set pieces though! Honestly now I just wish someone had translated the original manga into English, I really want to read it now...
Golden Ninja
: I want a guy who dresses sharply. A man who likes to laugh! Who likes animals and has a strong sense of justice! The ideal man is Golden Bat. In all seriousness though, I thought this one was a lot of fun. Ancient Atlantis skull men coming back to life in order to fight aliens in their drill squid space ship who are trying to smash planets together. Delightful.
Dragon Showdown
: This is an unusual genre mashup. Part kaiju movie, part ninja film, part romance. I thought it was pretty good! I was really surprised at how a lot of the cast actually got their own little character arcs. The heroine learns to be happy without her terrible father, the protagonist leaves the region without a ruler in the end after seeing the troubles caused by the system. Surprisingly character driven for a movie that has a climax with a giant toad, dragon, and spider beating each other up!
Ninja Scope
: Another manga adaptation. To my understanding, the manga was a fairly standard ninja comic, but the tv tokusatsu adaptation became famous for its absurd content such as random sci-fi stuff happening. Ninja Scope is a movie adaptation of the tv tokusatsu (with some reused footage and some new) in much the same vein, with a guy flying around with giant razor geta on his arms and aerial kite battles. Truly ridiculous fun.
Terror Beneath the Sea
: I actually didn't watch this one since it was the English cut of the film. It was an international co-production between Japan and the US, so I think you could make the argument that both languages count as the "original" version, but it looks like the Japanese cut is a bit longer so I'd prefer to try that one, but alas, no fansubs were in sight. If anyone knows where I could watch the Japanese cut I'd love to know.
