I've heard of a rumor in which Toho produced a version of King Kong, possibly in '37. This might make it the first REAL tokusatsu production EVER, but given the timing and world events, it was supposedly lost with a few people from the era claiming that it did exist and they did work on it.
Is this true or just rumor? Quote:
I think you mean King Kong Appears in Edo and yes, it was a real movie. It was done by Zensho Cinema, not Toho. Fuminori Ohashi even considers it to be the first Toku ever. Godzilla 1954 was not the first Toku, but it was the first major one that helps create Toku that we know today.

It's TRUE. The very 1st Tokusatsu movies was NOT Godzilla 54,but a King Kong REMAKE for Japanese audiences. There are NO images that I know of,unless Ed Godzewski or Sean Linkenback (both Godzilla authors and historians) know of it,all prints were destroyed in WW2,but I believe the release date WAS 1937,early 1938...lemme see if I can ask Sean ,since he is also a Poster guy as well. But it DID happen!!

I just learned of this one recently from some friends. Don't know how that conversation started, but this tidbit was dropped and it breaks the mold on convention. A shame that no print survived the War! Would be nice if an older print was found somewhere in the near future, but highly unlikely... |

Why is there also a SEPARATE tokusatsu which also used "Kyoryu Sentai" in the title outside of Zyuranger?
I believe the name is "Kyoryu Sentai Koseidon" or something to that effect. I probably misspelling Koseidon, but it's as close as I remember. The only explanation I can come to is that the earlier show, which has NO relation to Super Sentai, did their thing and Toei was able to adapt the name either because they complained about the use of "Sentai" or the license for the earlier show's use of "Sentai" expired. This theory is formulated with the understanding that Toei did not produce/own Koseidon. Of note, these two aren't the only times that "Kyoryu Sentai" was used to define someone or a group of someones in a Japanese franchise. The Dinoforce from Transformers Victory is also referred to as "Kyoryu Sentai"! https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dinoforce |

This was my thought. But I can't think of where it became annoying. XD
