In short, with no new footage or anything to suggest otherwise, these movies can take the place of the episodes they're derived from.

Digital Releases (and lack thereof)[]

• All of the episode-edit movies can be found on the first 3 DVD volumes of Kamen Rider: The Movie. ^[1]
• None of these episode-edit got a Blu-ray release. Viewing the film on the Amazon movie (courtesy of a fan sub) gives a plausible reason why; the episode-edit film had less contrast, was less sharp, and was cropped into a 16:9 screen ratio (rectangle) compared to the original episode's 4:3 ratio (square), at times making the picture oddly framed.
  • The reason for this is likely how film was copied at the time these films were made; in short, each copy of a film is a degradation from the original. In a likely desire to protect the original episodes, these films were made by making a copy of the episode's film negative, cutting and cropping THAT to make the film version. In addition, Toei likely did not put a lot of emphasis on preserving these films to the same standards as the movies originally made for theaters as the original episodes still existed and were higher quality.
