Juken Sentai Gekiranger: Nei-Nei! Hou-Hou! Hong Kong Decisive Battle
By Gerald Conde

Summary
While in the middle of fighting, the Gekirangers and Mele are being spied on. They are soon transported to Hong Kong, along with Rio. Just as Rio and Jan were about to fight, they meet the mysterious Lao Fan before seeing various other martial artists around the world have been brought to the island as well. They meet Miranda. She is the secretary to a media mogul named Yang, who brought them all together for the Kenkonitteki Martial Arts tournament to prove who's the strongest of them all. They combat the martial artists and make it to a big meal at a banquet hall. Yang Lo enters but Lao Fan leaves and Jan follows her. Ran, Retsu, Rio, and Mele meet Yang Lo, he belittles them. Jan learns Lao Fan actually is a member of the Hong Kong police. Yang founded Mechung Fu and used his tournament to gather strongest fighters as part of his plan to rule the world. He has found the ideal Ki he needs: the Ki of the JyuKen user. GekiBlue, GekiYellow, Rio, and Mele attempt to fight off Miranda as Yang goes to his base of operations. Jan and Lao eventually find Yang Lo and they fight and arrest him. Jan comes up with Nei Nei! Ho Ho!, working together, which makes Yang laugh. Miranda is killed by Rio, but the Ki she collected transfers to Yang's computer and it transforms Yang into a cyborg Beastman.

Lao Fan becomes injuried by Yang, makign Jan angry. He transforms and fights Yang but is no use. Yang transforms night to day and starts stealing everyone's Ki. The Gekirangers battle Yang Lo, refusing to give up in spite of him being stronger than them. He is seemingly destroyed, bringing back the night, but Yan activates his giant robot Mechannon out of a statue to terrorize the city. When GekiTohja proves no match for Mechannon, Yang Lo tries to encourage Rio and Mele to fight. But it was Yang's offensive comments of the JyuKen, that they are forced to help the Gekirangers by summoning RinLion and RinChameleon to combine with GekiTohja to form GekiRinTohja to destroy Mechannon, killing Yang in the process. Once the fight is over, in spite of the Gekirangers amazement at the power of the united JyuKen, Rio takes his leave with Mele telling them that nothing changed between them. The next day at the airport, Lao thanks the Gekirangers as they were about to leave for Japan when Miki, Natsume, and Sha-Fu arrive for a vacation in Hong Kong, and haul them around.

My Opinion
This concept was fierce, pun and annoying Project Runway catch-phrase intended. At a slim half-hour, it should have been an hour long, as Japanese children's movies are that long. The movie is very glossy and extravagant, it would have been suited for a hour or even ninety minutes. Surprisingly, it does not feel rushed, but it does feel short. There are parts that feel like there was more footage but they had to cut it. The main team traveling to another place is not rare in movies, but most of them go to another dimension like Gaoranger or Gekiranger's processor Go-Onger. Going to Hong Kong is rarest of all, and a welcomed treat, as China is one of the inspirations to Gekiranger. This movie is really rare as not all the warriors from the series are in the movie, that being that the movie came out before GekiViolet and GekiChopper were introduced. Being as that many of the recent movies since Gaoranger include a movie-exclusive robo combination, it is obvious they want to show off GekiRinTohja.

Conclusion
Great, should have been longer. Worth a look, doesn't take that long to see it anyway, but to completely comprehend it, you gotta see the show.
