The three original Riders actors, Hiroshi Fujioka, Takeshi Sasaki and Hiroshi Miyauchi, now on their 60's are back for the the first time in 37 years and will return to the upcoming Kamen Rider film, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider as Rider 1, Rider 2 and V3 respectively!
Their last appearance together was in the 1974 movie, Kamen Rider X: Five Riders Vs. King Dark and on the last episode of Kamen Rider Stronger (below) in which they appeared in their human forms at the end of the said series.
The producer, Shichirou Shirakura said, "The children 40 years ago watched Kamen Rider and they are now parents. Their children are watching the modern Kamen Rider. Together, they can watch this movie and enjoy it together."
The three of them will be dubbing their voices during the start of February. Rider 1 and Rider 2 will be greeting each other by shouting "Ichimonji!" and "Hongo," while V3 will do his famous "V3" shout. Old fans will surely shed a tear when seeing this scene.
The upcoming movie, revealed last month, marks a milestone for the franchise as this is its 40th anniversary. All of the Kamen Riders up until now are expected to appear, though the main characters will be Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider NEW Den-O. With the help of Kamen Rider V3 (now a major character), who saves OOO earlier in the said film, they will face off against Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2, who have joined the evil organization, Shocker.
OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider opens on April 1.
