The evil alien syndicate CRIME led by Iron Claw and his 4 trusty lieutenants having been defeated by JAKQ reform once again to threaten the planet Earth and Japan. This time they plan to bomb 7 cities and watch the devastation from Earth’s orbit before returning to rule. But they can only do that after they’ve defeated the Super Sentai team JAKQ (Jack, Ace, King, Queen – their helmets based on playing cards motif). CRIME are also launching their offensive on different continents but combatting them are other units such as Kikaider and Kamen Rider. When the body of a CRIME prisoner who tried to escape washes ashore on the Japanese mainland, JAKQ is sent to investigate but find a mysterious woman also taking photos of the scene. When she is stopped by the team they find out she is a member of the sentai team Goranger. Both sentai teams decide to join forces to destroy CRIME once and for all. CRIME are planning on dropping their Citybuster bomb on various locations around the globe which includes London and New York.
Released way back in March 1978, this was the first Super Sentai movie to crossover with 2 different teams. Goranger was the first Super Sentai series to air in Japan in 1977 with JAKQ the 2nd appearing a year later in 1978 so it made perfect sense to get them to appear together to appeal to fans of both series. It was nice to see the beginnings of the sentai era. Though the movie doesn’t have wall to wall pyrotechnics that the newest sentai movies have these days, it still contains a healthy dose of action and explosions to satisfy any sentai fan.
No trailer but I’ve put the first part of the movie up
