Wikipedia article
is a short 3-D superhero film based on the 'Super Sentai' franchise that was shown in 1994 in amusement parks and special events nationwide in Japan. It was shown as a triple feature alongside 'Kamen Rider World' and 'Toei Hero Daishug' (a crossover of 'Tokusou Robo Janperson' and 'Blue Swat', which also used footage from this short).
Summary
The film involves the team-up of five different Super Sentai teams ('Ninja Sentai Kakuranger', 'Gosei Sentai Dairanger', 'Kyry Sentai Zyuranger', 'Chjin Sentai Jetman', and 'Chiky Sentai Fiveman'), who must defend the planet Earth from the evil demon Emperor Daidas. In addition to the five 'Sentai' teams, the film also features Shiro Izumi, who played Yma zora in 'Dengeki Sentai Changeman' and Burai in 'Zyuranger', as Masato, a young man who is taken captive Emperor Daidas' forces alongside his sister Ayumi. Masato and Ayumi also appear in 'Kamen Rider World', linking the two movies. The narration was provided by Hironori Miyata, the narrator from 'Dairanger'.
The film was featured in the DVD release 'Super Sentai: The Movie' Vol. 4. It did not retain the 3D effects from the original theatrical release. It was also included on a bonus disc in the 'Super Sentai: The Movie' Blu-ray box set with 'Toei Hero Daishug', this time retaining the 3D effects.
Characters
Heroes
The film features 15 heroes from the aforementioned ' Sentai' teams. None of them appear out of costumes and only some of them are voiced by their original actors (namely all five members of 'Kakuranger', RyuuRanger and TenmaRanger from 'Dairanger', and TyrannoRanger from 'Zyuranger'). Only the initial members of each team appear in the film (thus DragonRanger from 'Zyuranger' and KibaRanger from 'Dairanger' are absent as a result).The main giant robots of each team also appear in this film: Five Robo from 'Fiveman', Jet Icarus from 'Jetman', Daizyuzin from 'Zyuranger', Dairen-oh from 'Dairanger', and Muteki Shogun from 'Kakuranger'.
