Narikiri Movie

The Narikiri Movie (なきりムービー) was a Bandai project which allowed young boys, accompanied by their families, to assume the role of superheroes. A new Narikiri Movie was launched for Super Sentai each year from 2007 to 2010, during which participants played the part of a temporary replacement for the incumbent Red Ranger.

The raw material for a Narikiri Movie consisted of archive footage depicting a battle between the incumbent Sentai Team and a monster, first on ground then within a Giant Robo; this episode was typically taken more or less from the very beginning of the show. In addition, specially filmed footage featured the Sentai Ranger actors being introduced to the "New Hero".

To complete the Narikiri Movie, the participant would visit the Kids Photo Bandai Studio with their families. Once there, they would be prepared for filming much like a TV production, donning a child-sized version of Red hero's distinctive outfit as well as a helmetless Red Ranger costume. Once prepared, the participant be made to stand in front of a blue wall, where they would be directed by Bandai staff members, as well as pre-recorded footage filmed by the Red hero actor, in playing the part; leading their team in fighting the monster of the day before operating the mecha to destroy the enemy once and for all. Once filming was completed, this footage would be taken to an editing room, as is used on TV and film, and merged with the pre-existing footage. The participant would receive a DVD of the completed Narikiri Movie within three weeks.
