Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995) Review

Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995) synopsis: “The popular villain/antihero from the classic "Kikaider" TV series stars in his own movie, as a dark defender in a post-apocalyptic future.”Starring: Yûji Kishimoto, Mai Hôshô, Jiro Okamoto, and Yasuaki HondaDirector: Keita AmemiyaThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Mechanical Violator Hakaider! A violent, post-apocalyptic version of The Power Rangers! Hakaider isn’t the first Japanese Tokusatsu film covered on the show, Godzilla and Guyver 2 are both technically in that category, but this feels more authentic to the genre. And at 77 minutes it gets right to the good stuff!A huge THANK YOU to Robert Ortiz for picking Mechanical Violator Hakaider for us to review through the highest Patreon tier!
