However, they are saved by the sudden arrival of Kamen Rider ZO on his ZO Bringer motorcycle, who draws the monsters into a nearby abandoned warehouse. ZO is suddenly assisted by Kamen Rider J, who arrives into the warehouse on his J Crosser bike. The five mutants are defeated by the combined forces of the new Double Riders.

## Errors

* In 05:34 to 05:49, a clip of Shadow Moon had a right vertical glitch.
* As J's transformation into Jumbo Formation is reused, the sunset tones are present in the stock clip before it switched back into daytime when faced with Shadow Moon. This was amended in the Blu-Ray release.

## Notes

* This movie ran for 8 minutes and was showed along *Super Sentai WorldFile:Icon-crosswiki.png*, a similar short movie from the Super Sentai series.
* Some monster fight footage from *Kamen Rider BLACK RX: Running Around the World* was shown as Shadow Moon speaks to the 5 revived monsters.
* This is the last *Kamen Rider* production shot on film. Starting with *Kamen Rider Kuuga* for television series and *Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4* for the feature films, future productions would be shot on digital video.
* The title *Kamen Rider World* was later reused as a name for a stage show event in 2018.
