Orends:range: We have reported last year about a Taiwanese Kamen Rider rip-off called "Space Hero Fly", recently a trailer for the said Kamen Rider rip-off surfaced online. Entitled, "Machi Action", it is about the life of a former superhero actor after his show was revamped.

This comedy-action film centers on an actor who played the role of Space Hero Fly, a popular superhero. But because of executive meddling, his show was revamp and introduced a new hero that replaced him in the show.

The movie is about him finding a new acting job after he was fired from his show while at the same time, he goes on a soul searching on what it means to be a hero.

here the Trailer

Knockoff or not, DAMN, that looks great.

[Brainchild]

Yeah, that looks really well-produced, and more like a parody of the whole toku thing than being a ripoff.

Looking surprisingly good considering the hero is a shameless amalgamation of other Kamen Rider suits. Hope someone subs it.

I don't think it's so shameless though, it's intentional. Since the film itself is an examination of how toku shows are cancelled and revamped and what happens to the actors after, I get that now. When we first saw pics of this thing, everyone assumed it was a rider knockoff series. But it's actually a pretty insightful examination of the genre itself. Very cool.

Yeah, this isn't a rip off, this is a tribute to toku superheroes. It's like Galaxy Quest. It's very clear that it's about a stunt actor who only knows how to play a Showa style Rider. That's kind of awesome. I'd like to see it.

[Roanstalker]

It actually looks pretty fun.

Looks cool, hopefully someone will pick it up down the line or it'll get an international release.

The new guy looks like an awesome cross between Iron Man and Accel

I take back what I may have said about this movie now I can see what this is really about. Not only does it look great but it's a pretty well thought-out parody/tribute too. I really hope this gets some decent subs.
