Over the years, "THE BIG PICTURE" has covered the Tokusatsu genre's quixotic presence in world media extensively; from the influence of the Japanese SPIDER-MAN adaptation to the long-running POWER RANGERS franchise to oddities like SUPERHUMAN SAMURAI SYBER-SQUAD and even the forgotten MYSTIC KNIGHTS OF TIR-NA-NOG. Now, that coverage is collected here in one set; including brief looks at LADY BATTLE COP, DINOSAUR WAR IZENBORG and GO GO ROBOTTIE.

This episode of "THE BIGGER PICTURE" collects a selection of full and segmented pieces covering Japanese live-action television, both in the original format and in forms re-edited for Western viewers or into features. While the best effort has been made to get the best footage/audio available, copyright and source issues do not always allow that to be the case.
