God Speed Love

Seven years after the meteor hit Earth, ZECT pretends to use a passing comet to refill the Earth's oceans, while in fact they are pulling another meteor to crash on Earth, one large enough to wipeout all of humanity. The film was produced by Ishimori Productions and Toei, the producers of all the previous television series and films in the ''Kamen Rider'' franchise. Following the tradition of all Heisei Kamen Rider movies, it is a double bill with 2006's ''Super Sentai'' movie, '' GoGo Sentai Boukenger The Movie: "The Greatest Precious"''. Upon its rel ...
