Films

 * 1) Kamen Rider Part 1
 * 2) *Plot: Terry Henderson is an up-and-coming motocross racer and highly intelligent MIT student, but his love of racing has caused him to fail almost every test he took (receiving C-'s at best). Terry's racing mentor, former motocross champion Travis Trickstar, is impressed with Terry's racing capabilities, but tired of his "lack [of] taking things seriously" and threatens to disown him unless he gets his grades up. One day, on his way to MIT, Terry gets involved in an accident. When he wakes up, he finds a dead body next to him and discovers himself wearing a giant belt around his waist that, when the fan in the center starts spinning, outfits him with a strange motorcycle outfit and grasshopper-like helmet. Terry manages to find Travis, who informs that he has been dead for five years. To make matters worse, Terry is wanted by the governments for a series of assassination around the world, as well as hunted by a group of soldiers belonging to a mysterious organization named Shocker, who accuse Terry of betraying them. After a series of encounters with the latter, Terry regains his memory. Flashbacks reveal that Shocker is a cybernetically-enhanced terrorist organization founded in 1945 by surviving Nazi soldiers from World War II bent on taking over the world. To achieve the goal, they have kidnapped many citizens from around the world and converted them into cyborgs to continue their conquest. Terry was chosen to join Shocker because of his intelligence and racing capabilities, so they instigated the accident that killed him five years ago. After his funeral, Terry's body was stolen from its resting place by Shocker and converted into a cyborg, rechristening him as the "Grasshopper". For five years, the Grasshopper assassinated over eighty targets around the world and stole their bodies to be converted into cyborgs. One night, however, after killing his most recent target, the Grasshopper removed his outfit and mask on his way back to Shocker, when an FBI agent managed to track him down and shoot him in the head, restoring Terry's memories. Once the flashback ends, Terry discovers the body of his racing mentor Terry, ending Part 1.

 * 7) *Plot: As Part 2 begins, Terry Henderson, now going by the name "Kamen Rider" (which he got from a Japanese video reporting his assassinations in Part 1) has been on the run from the government and Shocker, battling the latter and killing many of their soldiers while suited in his outfit. Seeing Kamen Rider as a threat, Shocker decides to make another Grasshopper, using the body of the first Grasshopper's final victim, Hiram Ingle, to fill the mantle. Terry and Hiram fight on several occasions, but during one battle, Hiram indirectly lets Terry escape while rescuing a child from getting run over. Although Hiram insists that complete eventually, Shocker attempts to punish him for his failure and choosing life over loyalty. Horrified and disgusted with Shocker's actions, Hiram defects and joins Terry in crushing the evil organization and their leader. Once Shocker is annihilated, Terry and Hiram dedicate themselves to fighting more villains like Shocker as Kamen Riders 1 and 2, respectfully; Terry would take the blame for various Shocker-like victims to continue his "villainous" acts, while Hiram would act as his arch-nemesis. With that the two-part movie ends.

The next day, a young woman named Jerri happens across a secret base. The soldiers attack her, but she is rescued by Santos. Santos takes her home, only to discover his parents and younger sister being murdered by the cyborg he encountered. The cyborg attempts to kill Santos and Jerri as well, but the latter two are saved by the Kamen Riders (Rider 1 revealed to be MIT Professor Terry Henderson, Santos' motorcycle mentor). Santos demands the Riders turn him into a Kamen Rider so he can join them and avenge his family, but the Riders refuse, acknowledging that vowed never to let anyone share their burden of being a cyborg. With the woman's help, the Riders infiltrate the secret base, which revealed to be Gel-Shocker, Shocker's successor. Their leader attempts to kill the riders, but Santos saves by and is critically injured, forcing the Riders to convert him into Kamen Rider V3 to save his life. Jerri falls in love with Santos, but he keeps turning her away for her safety. After some battles, Terry and Hiram are apparently killed, leaving V3 to fight Gel-Shocker alone. V3 infiltrates Gel-Shocker's primary base, where their leader reveals that has the bodies of his deceased family and offers to bring them back to life in exchange for his services of world domination. V3 is tempted at first, but after remembering what Riders 1 and 2 told him about the burden of being a cyborg, he refuses and destroys the leader and Gel-Shocker. Santos suspects that Terry and Hiram may still be alive and vows to find them someday.
