The Guyver: Dark Hero : Deusdaecon Reviews

[@kiernanchristian580]

Don't apologise for even one of those jokes, you beautiful bastard

The "claws you ain't showing" line is hilarious considering Hayter helped write X-Men and X2.

Well tell your uncle from me, I really appreciated his amazing work in this film, and thank you for watching

[@Blademrk]

And so there should be, it's an absolutely brilliant film. It's been one of my favourites ever since I first bought the DVD from the long defunct MVC shop in Cardiff. I would love for there to be another sequel to this.

I like the part, among others, where Guyver Unit 0 makes a cameo, despite being brief. Also, Cori is smokin' hot.

i dug the shit outta this film as a kid, my mum taped it for me thinking this looks like power rangers..dont think she realized it had violence and blood but hey good times.

[@evaunit2005]

Your review of Guyver Dark Hero was easily the best out of many that I've watched. I definitely will check out more of your content. The only thing that I noticed that many people do not mention is that the stunt choreographer is Koichi Sakamoto. He was the main stunt choreographer for MMPR Season 2 all the way to RPM. That is why the fights and stunts in this film look so familiar. He has gone on to do many Ultraman projects, Space Sheriff Next Generation, Kamen Rider and Sentai in japan. I would love to see you do reviews on any of those films or series at some point.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

funny you say that, I recently acquired quite a bit of Kamen rider media, so a video in some form may materialise at some point, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

The quarry thing was, I believe, due to the Sentai footage. They did it mostly for pyrotechnics. I think Doctor Who was the same way

18:06 is the best Solid Snake joke on this episode. And yes, I am aware that the main actor of this movie would eventually go on to become Solid Snake of Metal Gear Solid.

[@DakoGuyver]

There's a fun fact that David Hayter used his characters name as his alias for most of his voice over roles for a while. It seems like he grew quite attached to the character.

[@thegreatstoneddragon9432]

I am but a simple man. I see a new Deusdaecon review, I click.

[@brandonteppelin6353]

Guyver is one of the BEST manga heroes, period. They even went and copied his schtick to make the Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle. Too bad Takaya-sensei works at the pace of glacial movement, but with his art style, it's to be expected, even welcomed. Also I hear the man is kind of sick, like physically. I'm of the mind if I could I'd give him my remaining years and (admittedly somewhat better but also crap) health just so he could make more Guyver manga.

I also enjoyed this sequel over the original. We use to rent Dark Hero from the video store all the time. Great review! And I have to comment how the first movie's VHS cover always pissed us off because it made us think Mark Hamill was going to be The Guyver the first time we watched it lol

[@tombean-king3486]

Deusdaecon! My GOAT movie critic!!!

[@TheAnimalShocker]

I'd argue that he doesn't use the chest cannon more often not only in that it does use a huge amount of energy but is also akin to a Gatling Gun. In that you probably could just shoot off one bullet here and there. But if you're gonna use it, you want to make sure the target is dead dead. Also unless you know damn well you can shoot off just one bullet with precise control, you're gonna end up excavating everything with it.

[@stacierblankenship2812]

Yes! #Deusdeacon is back for more!! On the guyver series!! Its giving me alot of nostalgic attention on my end but I just cant recall on how or where I remembered where I've seen this movie?...it reminds me of another tv series of teenagers turning into superheroes with a little guyver effect change hmmmm... I'm going to have to homework so Keep on keeping on!! #Deusdeacon

[@natp8387]

Nice review of a fun movie. If you're confused about the mega smasher not being used much, just think of this one: his head laser can literally be used like a machine gun, but he barely EVER uses it. And it sure as heck isn't as dangerous to use as the mega smasher. So, probably down to 'I just don't think to use it much', at a guess.

[@aaronvandoorn6347]

They need to make another one but the need to have Jason David Frank play the Guiver

[@deusdeaconReviews]

If you can buy me a bigger house then I’ll be more then willing to change the background, unfortunately I have to make do for now

[@eoftar3192]

Also, I'm quite surprised that you haven't said a word about the soundtrack, which is also quite badass. It is that it also hasn't received much appreciation from its own creator, Les Claypool III. That's probably why one can't find it on the internet, aside from the end credits theme(which, in my opinion, are actually two music tracks fused together, one after another).

19:10 well, I know it's an old video and what I'm about to say someone have probably mentioned already... but I can't stop myself :) I always thought that Marcus was turned into a Zoanoid years after his daughter was born. I know that Zoanoid genes can be passed on, but Marcus making a deal with the devil at some point in his life always seemed more plausible for me.

I figured that Marcus turned into a Zoanoid after he got support for the dig from Chronos as a condition of that funding and thus Cory didn't inherit any kind of Zoanoid gene because it was activated after she was born...

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well i can't say i encountered that in my research, I'm not sure if thats true considering the rights to guyver went back to the japan distributer fairly soon after the film was completed, and david hayter has never spoke about it, do you have a source for this info?

[@stembuk]

Have to admit, it was many, many years ago when I read about it in a review.

[@PowerCookie1]

Yeah I've been waiting for another live action guyver movie.

[@TheJohnnyCalifornia]

In the opening scene, why were the crooks breaking in to steal the dolls? If they were the dealers then surely they or their dummy corporation is recipient on record. Just go pick them up. The whole point of doing this is to avoid any overt criminal activity that would raise suspicion. And why do you need a dozen guys for one security guard? Also, did the Guyver leave an explanation for all this? Imagine being the detectives showing up to investigate. Would they even think to ask for a chemical analysis of the dolls?

[@DynomitePunch]

well the choreography for the final fight doesn't look goofy because who ever directed it knew how to use elbow strikes from martial arts, as you said, this film has a more martial arts choreographic background and therefore it makes sense that their able to get the strikes correct, even the move guyver unit one uses against the gangster in the first part of the film, is a legit move in martial arts, when striking soft parts of the body with your elbow you get in close and you hammer it in using primarily the upper half of your fore arm, cuz trying to punch straight with an elbow, while possible, is difficult an theirs less a chance of pressing in on the soft flesh and hitting a vital organ beneath with blunt trauma, i've taken martial arts in the past, and while i'm sorely out of practice, you don't tend to forget this stuff that easily, good review though, glad to see someone doing a nice review of the second film i really love the guyver series

In terms of the manga I believe humans are the bases for Zoanoids. Humans can't become one until they've gone through a zoafication process. So she wouldn't be able to transform without going through it too. And 1 problem I had with the movie, was that the insides weren't highly acidic and opened immediately for Unit 01. I understand they had to cut it short because movie, but I'd have like to see that done to some regard. Like the door opens and a Chronos operative walks in and gets sprayed with a highly lethal acid. And honestly, even though we only see the 2 units, it's actually Unit 03. Unit 02 has 2 blades per arm. In the series, 03's the one that's damaged. And while I loved the review, I'm a bigger fan of the campy first one. But I hope you'll go through the anime's too. Maybe a collab with an ani-tuber. Or maybe the Devilman movie.

[@DatGuyGlitch]

I have a feeling the love interest part was taken out in the UK version possibly due to some runtime requirements. I notice this movie is 120mins, but the UK version is 95 which is closer to a lot of movie runtimes back then. So was probably easier just to cut the whole love interest part. Not entirely sure. Just speculating. Personally, I always hate the love interest parts. So I didn't feel like I missed anything first time watching. I usually find it detracts from the main story line and I'd rather see a character more fleshed out where you understand their moral beliefs. When I see a movie that is heavy with a love interest and the protagonist risk their life for the them because of "love", even though they've only known them for a few days, my instant reaction is "oh f**k off!".
