So this was the first proper OOO related thing I watched, so I have definite soft spot for this one. Mostly because I didn’t have reference for the discrepancies with the tv show.

As for why those discrepancies happened, the script was written when the only available material from the show was a half-written first draft of the first episode, with Inoue being told about later developments that were intended to have been implemented by the point the movie came out (two new combos, the Kougami Foundation making its own Rider, Dr. Maki being a creepy amoral scientist and Eiji and Hina hanging out at a foreign themed restaurant). So if anything, it’s amazing the finished product has much resemblance to the finished show.

As for casting trivia, the guy playing Nobunaga doesn’t have any prior roles to this (we’re not on the train for his other Tokusatsu villain role), but he retired in 2016, citing his lack of fame and talent as an actor.

But I can talk about these two cameos.

We have Teruaki Ogawa, of Kakuranger and Gingaman fame playing an office worker at the company Nobunaga finds work at, but we also have the later Yuka Motohashi of Carranger fame in this movie (though as who, I’m not sure)
