[edit] Summary
The alien Fog Mother's oldest three children abduct various people, in order to feed them to the FogMother's newly hatched offspring. When they took Kana, environmentalist reporter Kouji Segawa was killed. However, he was resurrected as Kamen Rider J in order to defend planet Earth against the Fog Mother and her children, who sought to destroy it.
[edit] Characters
[edit] FOG
- Fog Mother: The Fog Mother is a gold cybernetic battle machine alien who sent her three oldest children to gather as many humans they can for their "to-be-born" siblings to feed on. After her children were slain, she found the enlarged Kamen Rider-J, who killed her off with a Rider Kick.
- Garai: The oldest, his true form is CobraMan.
- Zu: Her true form is Bee-Woman a colorful female insect monster with ability to fly with the wings on her head.
- Agito: His true form is Lizardman, an alligator monster with poisonous fangs. He had no relation with Kamen Rider Agito.
[edit] Trivia
- Yuuta Mochizuki conciliates the filming of this movie with his actuation in Sailor Moon Musicals (Seramyu).
- Yuuta Mochizuki is also well known for playing the role of Geki/Tyrannoranger in 1992's Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
- The "J" in his name stands for "Jiku" the power he draws his power from.
- As seen in the finale of the movie, and also in the Kamen Rider World short (in which Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J team up), J is the only Kamen Rider who is able to grow to a giant size, very much like Ultraman.
- A concept drawing of the Fog Mother can be seen in one of the opening scenes of 1995's Mechanical Violator Hakaider as a wanted poster inside a JesusTown checkpoint.

Some footage was used in some episodes of Masked Rider.
