Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hurricane Polymar is Tatsunoko's 1974 answer to Kamen Rider, and this 2017 film was part of Japan's live-action anime reboot wave alongside Gatchaman and Kikaider.
Director Koichi Sakamoto cut his teeth on Power Rangers stunts in America before becoming tokusatsu's most kinetic action director—notice the American-style camera placement in the warehouse fight.
