Engine Sentai Go-onger: Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!! (炎神戦隊ゴーオンジャー BUNBUN!BANBAN!劇場BANG!! Enjin Sentai Gōonjā Bunbun! Banban! Gekijōban!!) is the theatrical film adaptation of the Japanese 2008 Super Sentai series Engine Sentai Go-onger. As with all of the Super Sentai films, Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!! is a double bill with the film for the 2008 Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Kiva, Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World. Both films premiered in Japanese theaters on August 9, 2008. The film features guest star J-pop singer Sonim, portraying the antagonist Empress Maki.
Plot
The film begins as Gaiark Pollution Ministers attempt to break the dimensional barriers that separate the Braneworlds, recycling 13 Barbaric Machine Beasts to help them out. The Go-Ongers intercept the Recycle Barbaric Machine Beast Army in their Engines, managing to scrap the 13. However, trio of mysterious warriors appear and their actions result with the Go-Ongers losing the primary Engine Casts while being sucked into the Braneworld known as Samurai World (サムライワールド Samurai Wārudo), a dimension similar to Edo Japan where power is essential. Attempting to find the missing Engine Casts of Speedor, Bus-on and Bearrv while Jumbowhale and Carrigator work hard to keep the portal between the two worlds open, the Go-Ongers pursue the Honōshū.
After escaping a group of Samurai, the primary Go-Ongers run for their lives before being saved by Tsuki-no-Wa, who brings them to the others. But Raiken and Gokumaru arrive with Hant and Gunpei after taking Birc and Gunpherd's Engine Souls, forcing the Honōshū to reveal themselves as Engine Souls. However, they are unable to bond with the primary Engine Casts with the Yōma taking them. After learning the Honōshū's story, the Go-Ongers offer their aid in storming Maki's castle the day, finding the Sutō siblings who pretend to work for Maki in order to return the Engine Casts to them.
As the others destroy Maki's Yōma servants with Hyper Cannonball to get back Shishi-no-Shin & Tsuki-no-Wa's Engine Casts, Go-On Red is overwhelmed by Maki until the Honōshū arrive. Sōsuke and the 3 Shoguns fight Maki and defeat her once. Saki gave Tsuki-No-Wa's cast back to Tsuki-No-Wa and Renn gave Shishi-No-Shin's cast back to Shishi-No-Shin. Sosuke asked where is Retsu-Taka's Cast. Maki took it and she enlarged herself. However, with Engine-Oh and the other Engines fighting Maki in her monstrous form before being broken down. But Sōsuke manages to grab on to one of Maki's heads, fighting his way to Retsu-Taka's Engine Cast. Once getting the Engine Cast, Maki assumes her true form as the Honōshū risk themselves to form Engine Daishougun with Sōsuke piloting them to destroy Maki and burn her castle to the ground. With the battle over, as Samurai World's denizens return to normal, Engine Daishogun turns to stone much to Sōsuke's dismay. The Go-Ongers soon return to their world.

Continuity and Placement
Even though this movie debut between GP24. First Smile and GP25. Goodbye Mother, this movie most probably takes place after GP30. Punch of Friendship and before GP32. Search for Treasure.
- Engine-O G9 is present, hence this movie has to take place after GP22. Last Wish.
- However, Hiramechimedes is not present in the movie, hence this movie has to take place after GP24. First Smile.
- But, Yogostein is mourning over Hiramechimedes' death after GP24. First Smile, and only get back together with Kitaneidas and Kegalesia at the end of GP29. Stop Hiroto. In addition, GP 30: Punch of Friendship is a continuation of GP29. Stop Hiroto due to the GoRoader GT. Therefore, the earliest this movie can take place is after GP30. Punch of Friendship.
- Furthermore, Engine-O G12 is not present in this movie, so this movie cannot take place after GP32. Search for Treasure. Engine Dai-Shogun reappears in GP39. Nostalgic Children.
However, the Go-On Wings are hostile towards the Go-Ongers in the Net Movies Webisode 1: Dimensions Mingling? Bom-Bom, and but they are friendly towards the Go-Onger by this time in the show.
