Tokusatsu productions have features that make them different tan other types of contents, but they are not well known in occidental culture. Since 90´s decade, Tokusatsu arrives to America with the adaptation of the Super Sentai franchise. With the name Power Rangers, this type of productions got comercial success in occident. That allowed a large amount of productions to be made with this feature with the comercial success objective. Until today, lots of peole is not aware about the origin of this type of content. This research wants to contribute to Tokusatsu´s difusión through the analysis of the way that Tokusatsu features are adapted in the audiovisual approach of two movies: Pacific Rim (2013) and Power Rangers (2014). Thanks to cualitative study through interviews to Lissette Ponce, Tokusatsu diffusor in Perú, and Aldo Salvini, film director, we can reaffirm the features of Tokusatsu productions. Also, the use of the Likert´s Scale allow us to analyze how the Tokusatsu features are adapted in those movies through similarities and differences with a Tokusatsu production as Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (2014). We concluded that exists a cultural hybridazation process of the japanese Tokusatsu in the analyzed movies. Pacific Rim presents a intercultural adaptation process of those features. For the other side, Power Rangers presents a transcultural adaptation process. Also, is proposed the existence of adaptation models in base of the cultural hybridazation phenomenon seeing in those movies.
