The Guyver

Mutronics-Invasion der Supermutanten (1991)

& The Guyver:Dark Hero (1994)

"The Guyver" (in Europa und Südamerika unter dem Namen "Mutronics" veröffentlicht) ist ein Science-Fiction-Tokusatsu-Superheldenfilm aus dem Jahr 1991, der von Screaming Mad George und Steve Wang inszeniert und von Brian Yuzna produziert wurde. Locker basierend auf der gleichnamigen japanischen Manga-Serie von Yoshiki Takaya, wurde der Film in Zusammenarbeit mit Shochiku Films produziert. Die Hauptrollen spielen Mark Hamill, Vivian Wu, Jack Armstrong, Jimmie Walker und David Gale.

Bandai und Hero Communications baten Screaming Mad George aufgrund seiner Arbeit an "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", die Effekte für den Film zu erstellen. George stimmte unter der Bedingung zu, dass er Regie führen könne, und brachte Produzent Brian Yuzna sowie seinen Kollegen für Spezialeffekte und Co Regisseur, Steve Wang, mit.

Trotz der gemischten Kritiken weckte der Film ausreichend Interesse für eine Fortsetzung, "Guyver: Dark Hero". In dieser Fortsetzung wurde Jack Armstrong durch David Hayter in der Rolle von Sean ersetzt, und der Film erhielt insgesamt bessere Kritiken als sein Vorgänger.

Die Regie übernahm Steve Wang.

Die Regisseure-

Joji Tani , bekannt als Screaming Mad George, ist ein japanischer Spezialeffektkünstler, Filmregisseur und ehemaliger Musiker. Er wurde in Osaka, Japan, geboren und emigrierte in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo er für seine surrealen und blutrünstigen Spezialeffekte bekannt wurde.

George begann seine Karriere als Punk-Rock-Musiker und war Mitglied der Band The Mad in den späten 1970er Jahren. Seine blutrünstigen Musikvideos führten ihn in die Filmbranche, wo er an Spezialeffekten arbeitete. Zu seinen frühen Arbeiten gehören Effekte in Filmen wie "Big Trouble in Little China" (1986), "Predator" (1987), "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (1987), die berühmte Kakerlakenszene in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" (1988) und "Arena" (1989).

1991 gab er sein Regiedebüt mit "The Guyver"

Es blieb seine einzige Regiearbeit. Er widmete sich wieder den Spezialeffekten und der Musik.

Steve Wang

Geboren in Taiwan, zog Steve mit seinen Eltern im Alter von neun Jahren in die Vereinigten Staaten. Seine größten Inspirationsquellen waren die Tokusatsu-Superhelden-TV-Shows Ultraman und Kamen Rider sowie Hongkong-Kung-Fu-Filme wie "Master of the Flying Guillotine".

Als erfahrener Maskenbildner und Kreaturen-Designer hat Steve mit anderen Branchenveteranen zusammengearbeitet, darunter Stan Winston, Rick Baker und Dick Smith.

"Guyver: Dark Hero"

verfolgt im Gegensatz zum vorherigen Film einen ernsteren und düstereren Ton, der dem Quellmaterial viel näher kommt (die Rückblende zur Erschaffung der Guyvers ist zum Beispiel fast wortwörtlich aus dem Original-Manga übernommen). Aufgrund des niedrigen Budgets wurde der Film in den Vereinigten Staaten direkt auf Video veröffentlicht, erhielt jedoch in anderen Ländern eine begrenzte Kinoveröffentlichung. Anders als der PG-13-Rating des ersten Films erhielt dieser Film eine R-Wertung aufgrund einiger Szenen, die Gewalt und Brutalität zeigen. Obwohl er keine Kinoveröffentlichung erhielt, entwickelte der Film eine Kult-Fangemeinde und wurde mit positiveren Kritiken als sein Vorgänger aufgenommen.

Den Meinungen der Kritiker kann ich mich insofern anschließen als das mir der zweite Teil viel besser gefallen hat.

Guyver- Dark Hero war tatsächlich auch der erste der beiden Filme den ich gesehen hatte und ich war begeistert. Der erste Teil war in Folge also bei mir schon eine herbe Enttäuschung da er meinen, durch den zweiten Teil, vorgefertigten Erwartungen nicht standhalten konnte.

Die Ähnlichkeit zu den Powerrangers kommt auch nicht von ungefähr denn Steve Wang arbeitete an der 1999 erschienenen Serie Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Beide Filme sind sehenswert der erste überzeugt alleine mit Mark Hamill und den Effekten der zweite mit den Kampfszenen und den Effekten

Die Power Rangers in Brutal... macht Spaß und errinnert an Jugendzeiten als man Nachts zufällig auf verbotene Filme traf und sie heimlich schaute....

4K UHD Review: The Guyver

Following in the wildly successful footsteps of Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Guyver takes a (relatively) grounded approach to its outlandish source material — in this case, a Japanese manga series — without divorcing itself from its comic book roots. Produced by Brian Yuzna (Re-Animator, Society), the 1991 film is directed by special effects wizards Screaming Mad George (Society, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and Steve Wang (Predator, The Monster Squad).

As the Star Wars-esque expository opening crawl explains, mankind was created by aliens as an organic weapon. The evil Chronos corporation is further developing a technology that allows humans to change into "super monster soldiers" known as Zoanoids for world domination. The only viable defense against them is The Unit, a piece of bio-booster alien armor that increases a human's natural powers a hundredfold, turning them into The Guyver.

Mark Hamill's top billing may lead you to believe that he's the titular hero, but he instead plays a supporting role as a CIA agent investigating Chronos. The real lead is Jack Armstrong (Student Bodies) as Sean Barker, an amateur martial artist who's the only person that can activate The Unit. When his girlfriend (Vivian Wu, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III) is endangered, Sean utilizes his newfound powers to take down Chronos and the Zoanoids.

Armstrong is a bland lead, but it's not entirely his fault. In addition to a mustachioed Hamill channeling Colombo, he has to compete with several scene-stealing character actors. Re-Animator's David Gale chews the scenery as the malevolent head of Chronos, briefly reuniting with Jeffrey Combs as the company's scientist, Dr. East (get it?). Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) plays Gale's right-hand Zoanoid with Jimmie Walker (Good Times) as his rapping goon. Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead) cameos as a scream queen.

But the real stars of the show are the creatures, the designs of which showcase boundless creativity. The Guyver looks like Ultraman by way of Clive Barker, and each Zoanoid adopts a different animal's traits. While a number of other artists were employed to pull off the myriad of monsters, George and Wang's fingerprints are all over the effects, imbuing the alien superhero movie with some disturbing body-horror.

Jon Purdy's script deviates significantly from source material not only in terms of story but also tone. While some of the manga's dark atmosphere and violence remain intact, it's undercut by goofy humor in an attempt to appeal to a younger demographic. Fans of Yoshiki Takaya's original creation were no doubt disappointed (Wang attempted a bit of a course correction with his 1994 sequel, Guyver: Dark Hero), but the tonal confusion is actually charming.

Originally cut down to a PG-13 rating in the US, The Guyver has been newly restored in 4K from the original, R-rated 35mm camera negative with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0 options for Unearthed Films' 4K UHD + Blu-ray release. Far removed from the days of Jaws and Alien in which the monster was largely hidden in shadows, George and Wang put their creations on full display — and even with a crystal-clear restoration, the in-camera effects shine.

Two new audio commentaries are included. The first is a lively one with George and Wang, moderated by Budget Biomorphs: The Making of The Guyver Films author Dom O’Brien. It's not the most informative track — the filmmakers admit to not having seen the film in over two decades — but they're enjoying themselves so much that it hardly matters. The second commentary features creature crew members "Evil" Ted Smith and Wyatt Weed, who delve into the nitty-gritty of the effects.

Yuzna and George each sit down for thorough new interviews. Yuzna reveals that he's been approached about a remake, but the rights are complicated, while George's infectious energy lasts the entire 56 (!) minutes. Creature suit camera test footage is included with commentary options from George and Wang or Smith and Weed, while outtakes and a gag reel feature George and Wang commentary.

Other extras include: alternate title sequences in English, German and Spanish; English, German, Spanish, and French trailers (all carrying the alternate title Mutronics); and extensive promotional and production galleries. The collector's edition also comes with the soundtrack CD composed by Matthew Morse (Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker) and a booklet featuring liner notes by O’Brien and Morse.

The Guyver is available now on 4K UHD via Unearthed Films.

Doctor East: He really needs a nap 💓

[alienbeeusa]

Epic mail call and check out this awesome artwork! I’m so freaking happy to add The Guyver to my collection and I’m not done yet. Remember my little 4K rant I went on a few months ago? There are a some exceptions to my rule and this will be one of them. I want the 4K and soundtrack and even the DVD! Massive thanks to Grindhouse Video for the fast shipping and great job Unearthed Films. Here’s hoping yall get ahold of Guyver 2: Dark Hero and give it a nice upgrade too!

This 1991 sci-fi action adventure (with a touch of horror) follows a young man who comes in contact with a top secret suit of armor called “the Guyver”. Chronic, the evil corporation that owns the suit wants its property back so the CEO sends out an army of mutant alien monsters to retrieve it.
