are there no martial arts fans here? no one saw that this movie was in a sense a homage to Enter the Dragon? No one? the Bruce Lee statue should have helped! I'm sorry I just get really excited when it comes to Bruce, he was one of the reasons why I started martial arts, especially with Enter the Dragon.

edit: I seriously hope both of those mechs are made out of carbon fiber.

^wow, it's been so long since I've seen Enter The Dragon that I didn't even really notice.

Did anyone else read what style other people in the tournament were using? One of them was using Yoga. Is yoga really it's own fighting style, because I've only seen it done as stretching?

I think there was Judo, Kenpo, Capoiera, Boxing, Kendo, and some others, I think Lao Fang would go under Wushu.

Great film, great subbing, great work. I really liked the different styles match ups, but would've liked to seen more from the Luchador wrestler.

My guesses:
Firstly for dramatic effect, secondly because they never combined any of their mecha formations in the series (other than SaiDaiGekiRinTouja), and thirdly because the Bat component wasn't compatible with the Rin components to the base GekiTouja costume. Regarding whoever said the toys weren't compatible, I've seen pictures that prove they are.

That's the way the movie exclusives have always been, they only make one or two appearances in the main series. The only exceptions I know of being Hurricanger's TriCondor to make TenraiSenpuujin, which was in the series regularly, and Deka's DekaBuggy, which was not in the series at all.

You forgot that they formed GekiBatToujaWolf in one episode. If you count that one considering it can be it own seperate mecha.

Thanks for answering my question I honestly didn't know if the toys were compatible. I figured they were but wasn't 100%.

Whoops, forgot about that one. The idea about the costumes still holds water, though.

No prob.

...Because the good guys always win in shows made for kids? Or because he didn't absorb Jan's? Or the Ki he absorbed from the fighters by themselves is different then when they fight as a team? Or because the good guys always win in shows made for kids?

I meant to point this out a while ago, but forgot to do it... It looks to me like this was intended to be a parody of Enter The Dragon... It's dead on in a number of places.

Unless Mekung Fu is the same as Uchuu Kung Fu or whatever it was...no.

If you guys were to see both movies, you'd know.

MechKungFu was where that doctor was using machinery/robots for his Jyuken I thought?
UchuuKenpou/Jyuken/KungFu/whatever is an alien/space technique. Thus the "Uchuu".
