Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue (1992)
Doctors Kazamatsuri and Onizuka are geneticists researching cures on diseases such as AIDS and cancer by performing experiments to strengthen the human body. The test subject is Shin Kazamatsuri, motorcycle racer son of Doctor Kazamatsuri. Unknown to them, their operation is funded by a syndicate group, who plan to use this research to have the bodies of men strengthened for their own gain—they have already been experimenting in the field of cyborg soldiers, to a less-than-successful attempt. However, they did not count on Onizuka's own secret ambitions; the mad Onizuka wanted to create a new species, by fusing a grasshopper's DNA with the test subject's, in order to start a new civilization and be their god. He has tested on himself, but seems to be having greater success with Shin.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Kamen Rider series is one of Japan most beloved and oldest superheroes series usually focus on one guy wearing a body suit much like a grasshopper fighting force of evil on a kick-ass motorbike.Although it not blow up in Western like the Super Sentai series but there are many fan all over the world and to celebrate 20th birthday of the series Shin Kamen Rider came out as a stand alone movie with a much more realistic and darker tone.Being called the worst Kamen Rider ever by many fan i find myself very intriguing with the movie despite some big changes like the gruesome transformation scene and the gory action.The plot is hard to follow sometime while the characters is good looking their acting is so wooden but if you love Kamen Rider in general definitely give this movie a try
