021 – Talk Like an Egyptas (Kamen Rider Eps. 36-37)

“Are you my mummy?” That’s the question Nathan is asked by Travis to start this week’s episode of Henshin Men. In today’s Kamen Rider coverage, as is the unwritten law of all popular entertainment, there must be an ancient Egypt episode featuring a mummy monster. In this case, it’s the proto-King Sphinx who can somehow understand Japanese but only speaks in gibberish that may or may not be ancient Egyptian. It’s even more confusing than it sounds. The next episode features another flower kaijin, but this one, Wolfsbane, is freakishly cool. It’s just too bad his poisonous gas is inconsistently deadly. But he ticks off KR2 so bad, he gets not one, but two finishing moves! Now, as for the unceremonious resurrection and second deaths of some defeated kaijin, that’s less impressive.Kamen Rider (1971) is available to stream on Shout!FactoryTV and Tubi.
