* [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Screw World Domination, I Have Money!]]: What Nova Shocker's true goal is; conquer the world via the global economy.

** Not be written by Shoji Yonemura since ''Series/KamenRiderDenO Episodes Red and Blue'' in 2010. And with LetsYouAndHimFight being one of his signature tropes for spring movies, suffice to say you won't find that in this movie either.

** Not feature a prior Heisei Rider.

** Not be written by Shoji Yonemura since ''Series/KamenRiderDenO Episodes Red and Blue'' in 2010.

** Feature a crossover between only two ''Kamen Rider'' series, have a RoleReprisal count that can be counted on only one hand[[note]]Fujioka and Ren Osugi as Ambassador Hell, the latter reprising from ''Series/KamenRiderDecade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker'')[[note]] and not be written by Shoji Yonemura since ''Den-O Episode Yellow'' (which crossed over with ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' by featuring only Kaito from that series) in 2010.

** [[spoiler:Actively involve the incumbent Rider's enemies in the plot, period, though the Ganma responsible for kickstarting the movie's plot is merely a GreaterScopeVillain seen in a flashback within the context of the movie alone, only making himself known to the ''Ghost'' cast in a [=YouTube=] short set after the movie. The closest this has happened in a prior spring movie was Chaser making a plot-insignificant cameo in ''Film/SuperHeroTaisenGPKamenRider3''.]]

''Kamen Rider 1'' is the 2016 ''Franchise/KamenRider'' CrossOver movie. It features the return of Creator/HiroshiFujioka as [[Series/KamenRider Takeshi Hongo]], this time in a main character capacity unlike his last appearance in ''Film/HeiseiRiderVsShowaRiderKamenRiderWarsFeaturingSuperSentai''.

* EvilVsEvil: Shocker vs Nova Shocker, both evil terrorist groups who want to TakeOverTheWorld, but loath each other.

* TookALevelInBadass: To keep up with the new forces, Hongo upgrades his body to a bulkier, almost Heisei-level look.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Hongo himself. A funeral is even held in his honor. He is revived after Mayu [[SayMyName calls out for him.]]]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:When the Alexander the Great Eyecon proves to be too dangerous for Wolga to control, Ambassador Hell forms an uneasy alliance with the Kamen Riders to stop him. After Wolga's defeat, he destroys the Alexander Eyecon himself, stating that [[EvenEvilHasStandards there is no point in using its power if he loses his sense of self in the process]].]]

* OldSuperhero: Hongo's cyborg body is starting to fail on him. The main theme is him fighting in spite of [[DentedIron his body slowly breaking down]].

* WalkTheEarth: What Hongo was doing all this time, fighting Shocker.

After many years fighting Shocker around the world, Hongo returns to Japan to recruit [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Takeru Tenkuji and Makoto Fukami]], Kamen Riders Ghost and Specter, after Shocker's newest incarnation goes after Mayu Tachibana, Tobei Tachibana's daughter, who seems to be connected to their plans to resurrect Ambassador Hell. However, the years have not been kind to Hongo, whose [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cyborg body is starting to become weaker]]. There is also the other group known as Nova Shocker, an organization splintered from Shocker and causing an internal power struggle with the Kamen Riders caught in the crossfire.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Hongo has suffered from his weakening cyborg conditions due to his old age. [[spoiler:[[CameBackStrong However, he gets better after he comes back to life]]]].

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Hongo himself. A funeral is even held in his honor.]]
** [[spoiler:[[DisneyDeath He is revived]] after Mayu [[SayMyName calls out for him.]]]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:When the Alexander the Great Eyecon proves to be too dangerous for Wolga to control, Ambassador Hell forms an uneasy alliance with the Kamen Riders to stop him.]]

* LadyOfWar: Eagla. She fights in her human form for a good majority of the film.

* ParentalAbandonment: Mayu isn't all too happy to see Takeshi when he returns, although [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou he had a good reason why]]: the nature of his work, plus the promise he made to her grandfather.

* MysteriousWaif: Mayu Tachibana.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:Hongo has been suffered from his weakening cyborg conditions due to his old age. [[CameBackStrong However, he gets better after he comes back to life]]]].

* BigBlackout: Caused by Nova Shocker. All of Japan loses power in an attempt to strong-arm the Japanese government into funding the organization.

* IWillFightNoMoreForever: Hongo, after finally meeting Mayu, promises to stop fighting, especially in his weakened state. He wanted to have his final days living a more peaceful life.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: What Nova Shocker's true goal is; conquer the world via the global economy.

%%* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Nova Shocker.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler:Hongo himself. A funeral is even held in his honor.]]

* AbsenteeActor: There is no sign of Hayato Ichimonji or Kazuya Taki.

Interestingly, while this will be released at the same time the usual ''Franchise/SuperHeroTaisen'' films were released (two weeks after the newest installment of ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars''), this film marks the first time that there are no signs of any of the other Kamen Riders from either era, nor is there an appearance from the current ''SuperSentai'', Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger.
