So you pretty much second guessed me by giving me an intro to my feature. Which is one that covers all three bases.

Ultra-lert!

So as pointed out, one of the new cop characters is Mitsutoshi Shundo, who would later play one of the soldier guys in Amazons and Kekera in Geats. But at this point, his most notable role was as Mizorogi/Dark Faust, the villain for the middle arc of Ultraman Nexus.

And our antagonist, is played by the late Minoru Tanaka (who gets the movie dedicated to him, which indicates when he died), who was previously Captain Sakomizu in Ultraman Mebius. Who character wise, is pretty much the opposite of Sagami.

Sentai-lert!
In addition to the return of Nao Nagasawa, we have another Hurricaneger veteran in the form of Kouhei Yamamoto playing one of the pickpockets. Not having seen this film in a while, I can?t tell you exactly which one.

General Alert

So as pointed out, we have Yukari Taki as our female lead, in her first major role in a Toku production (she?d auditioned for, and landed, the Pink in the previous year?s Sentai, but lost the role when she was unavailable to make the filming dates). After this, she was the girlfriend in the Gavan movie, the secondary female lead in Ultraman Ginga S and of course, Sawa in Kamen Rider Build. She also had guest spots in Ghost as a reporter playing Robin Hood and in Ryusoulger as a gym coach obsessed with following school rules.

And her father is Taro Suwa, who?s played several guest parts in Rider, Sentai and Ultra (and through the magic of stock footage reuse, Power Rangers, which gave the actor the fan nickname of ?Mr. O?Shaugnessy?)

And to conclude this (beyond Hasegawa pulling a Hitchcock as a drunk), the yakuza head?s bodyguard is Ayumi Shimozono, who at the time was one of the minor stunt actors for Rider, but later went on to be Sentai?s main female suit performer 2016-2023, and is currently suit acting Kamen Rider Majade in Kamen Rider Gotchard.

As for the film itself. I remember liking it quite a bit, especially the detail of giving Accel his own title sequence, as if we were watching his spin-off series.
