Description: Saban’s Masked Rider was an American adaptation of Japan’s long-running Kamen Rider franchise, produced by Saban Entertainment and aired in 1995. It’s best remembered as a curious, short-lived attempt to replicate the success Saban had just achieved with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The show was based primarily on Kamen Rider Black RX (1988), using extensive footage from the Japanese series mixed with newly shot American scenes. In Japan, Black RX was darker and more serious, but Saban reworked it into a lighter, kid-friendly superhero sitcom format.
