Go Go Kamen Rider (ゴーゴー仮面ライダー, Gō Gō Kamen Raidā) is a "blown-up" version of episode 13 of the original Kamen Rider series, Tokageron and the Large Monster Army, released in Toei Manga Matsuri theaters in Summer 1971 as a movie. It's the first ever movie in the Kamen Rider Series, as well as the first derivative work.
Synopsis[]
The Shocker Organization sends two of its Inhumanoids to destroy an atomic plant, but their plan is foiled by an invisible barrier that surrounds the complex. Because of this, they abduct a top soccer player and convert him into Tokageron, a lizard Inhumanoid capable of kicking a 5 kg bomb to destroy the plant's barrier. Kamen Rider must once again combat the Shocker and prevent them from destroying the atomic plant.
Plot[]
Late at night, two security guards who were patrolling the Toyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory were attacked by the Shock Kaijin Bat Man and Scorpion Man.
When the Shocker Kaijin attempted to infiltrate the Toyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory, they were repealed by an electromagnetic force field.
The Great Leader was enraged over the superiority of the barrier that protects the Laboratory to the revived Kaijin, which further delayed their plan.
Since Japan's Shocker branch lagged behind its other branches, that attack on the laboratory was an absolute necessity, the great leader ordered the deployment of the Barrer destruction ball.
When the Shocker Scientists stated that they currently don’t have a Kaijin able to use the destruction ball, the Great Leader ordered one created.
They chose the professional Soccer player Nomoto Ken, who was renowned for his lethal shot. Nomoto was abducted after the game by Shinigami Chameleon and Man Spider.
When Kazuya visits Snack Amigo he asks about Takeshi Hongo, he learned that Takeshi went to investigate the murder of the two security guards at the Toyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory.
Ken Nomoto was remodeled at a Shocker base into Shocker Kaijin Tokageron. Shocker sent out a team to examine the forcefield and find its weak point.
Kazuya kept a close watch on the Toyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory. On watch Kazuya noticed a suspicious-looking car circling the laboratory.
The suspicious car is also spotted by Ruriko, she recognizes that it's Shocker and starts to pursue the car. Kazuya was shocked to discover that Ruriko had disappeared.
Following the car to a house, where she encounters Kazuya, he then goes in to investigate the residence. He discovered a room filled with statues of defeated Kaijin.
After Kazuya left, It was revealed that the statues were actually the Revived Monster Corps. When some members of offered to pursue Kazuta they were reprimanded by Tokageron.

Notes[]
- As it was unusual at the time, the movie is marketed as a coloured production.
- As an episode-edit movie, its only differences with the episode it blows out, are the Toei movie intro being added, different credits, the TV eyecatch being cut, and the next episode preview being cut too.
- Also, unlike the few next movies (that are not edited episodes), it wasn't released between episodes it is supposed fit between, as episode 16 had already aired so far on the first screenings day of this movie.
- This movie edits the very last episode before Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2 went to appear, replacing Takeshi Hongo and giving the radical changes to what Kamen Rider was.
