PLOT:
A young man discovers a mechanical device that merges with his own body, turning him into a cyborg superhero.
In this thrill-a-minute action adventure, Sean Barker (Jack Armstrong) is a college student who discovers the “Guyver”, an alien mechanical device that merges with his own body, turning him into a super-powerful cyborg fighting machine. The device belongs to Chronos, an evil corporation run by human mutants that metamorphize into monstrous soldiers called “Zoanoids”. Chronos badly wants the Guyver back and sends a gang of Zoanoids to kidnap Sean’s girlfriend, Mizuki (Vivian Wu). Sean rescues Mizuki with the help of Max Reed (Mark Hamill), a CIA agent determined to keep the device from falling into the hands of Chronos. However, the rescue attempt is not completely successful, thereby triggering a series of epic battles between the forces of good and evil.
“THE GUYVER (released in Europe and South America as Mutronics) is a 1991 science fiction tokusatsu superhero film directed by Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, and produced by Brian Yuzna (Society, Bride of Re-Animator). The film is loosely based on the Japanese manga series of the same name by Yoshiki Takaya and was produced in conjunction with Shochiku Films.” -Chris Mayo, Severed Cinema
“Steve Wang and Screaming Mad George directing, Brian Yuzna producing, Mark Hamill mutating into a giant cockroach, monsters doing Kung-Fu, and the evil dude from Re-Animator turning into a giant monster… this is easily one of our coolest releases. With brand new commentaries, never-before-seen gag reels, FX tests, rubber monster suit tests, and the sound track, I set out to make the ultimate collector’s version of THE GUYVER.” -Stephen Biro, CEO Unearthed Films
