Unearthed Films Just Released an AMAZING 4k | The Guyver 4k UHD Review

[@joshuabonorino9561]

Now they have to release Dark Hero on 4k

[@Montrarious]

Made my heart skip a beat, that would be perfect

[@JM-pm1yb]

I remember coming across this movie while watching TV at my Grandparents house. I was immediately drawn in and eventually found a DVD copy, which I still own today. This new 4K release is also part of my collection now.

[@kyleroger834]

Really glad The Guyver got a 4K release, especially if it means being closer to a 4K release of the sequel, The Guyver 2: Dark Hero, which has much better action, tone, story lore, set pieces, and much less eye-rolling comic relief.

[@deathmetalelitist666]

Love unearthed films, when they did the 3 disc editions of american guinea pig they went all out

[@Carl-R]

I saw this movie on the sci fi channel as a kid and went out to rent it. Then I saw the anime series then Guyver 2. Pretty fun franchise.

[@ricanman85]

This movie is a staple of my childhood lol being a child of the 80’s, I have the arrow video blu ray release and I got this release, cannot believe I got this movie in 4K!

[@panicchords7453]

I went to a Jeffrey Combs film festival last week at my local theater. Jeff was there doing Q and A and signing stuff, it was awesome. They had a table with movies and this was on there, days before its actual release. Like 20 bucks less than it’s going for online too. Picked it up, forget Combs is in it for a brief moment, playing Dr. East, a nod to Herbert West.

[@Ninjastar202]

The second Guyver movie rocks too

[@jenniferthomas999]

Better than the first

[@davidlawrencegraham6722]

@@jenniferthomas999 by a long way mate

[@JM-pm1yb]

I didn’t like it as much as the first. One of those personal preference things. I do enjoy David Hayter, as I grew up playing MGS. I even have a couple signed items. I just enjoy the cheesiness of the first Guyver movie more.

[@TonyThompson1981]

I remember watching this on TV as a kid. I believe right around the time the sequel was coming out, this aired on USA or Syfy or something. I was in my early teens, so I had to have been around the time the sequel came out. The only time I've ever seen it. I instantly loved it.

[@DomOB8585]

Glad you liked the release! I’m really proud of the extras I worked on (particularly the SMG & SW commentary I moderated). Enjoy the booklet if you get a chance to read it. If you want to know more about the making of both films, I’ve also written a 400 page book called “Budget Biomorphs: The Making of The Guyver Films”. 👍🏻

[@PlanetCHH]

Sounds great, I’ll check the book out. Great job!

[@tankeryanker2616]

I’ve never seen this movie. Definitely picking this up. Great review man as always!!

[@Spindash54]

Since you loved this, I’d like to give a recommendation to set of 3 Kamen Rider films done in Japan in the 90’s. There’s a lot similar vibes with the practical effects and monster designs. Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue Kamen Rider ZO Kamen Rider J It’s getting a Blu-ray set from Media Blasters, and can be pre-ordered from their site.

[@PlanetCHH]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@TranceEternality]

People who watch this Guyver or Guyver 2 Dark Hero needed to watch Kamen Rider Shin or Kamen Rider ZO. They were filmed in Japan before The Guyver were put into production in America. I highly recommend you guys to check these two movies out.

[@thegorefathershorrorshow]

The Guyver is really an amazing movie. Picked up a bluray some years ago and loved it instantly. I'm definetly in for a 4k upgrade on this.

[@Ray30]

The Guyver is a good movie and this if I understand is the director's cut. I am looking forward to getting this movie.

[@NathanMarchandAuthor]

That edition is rated R, but it was edited down to PG-13 when it was shown in the theaters. What’s crazy is there are three cuts: theatrical, director’s cut, and the “uncut” version on the new 4K.

[@warnerg80]

I always loved the Asian girls accent in the movie. It’s accent I’ve never heard again. Love The Guyver. I think it even had J.J. from Good Times 🤔

[@richardfullerton5885]

I seen this on U.K video when it was called Mutronics tue movie and loved it. The sequel Guyver dark hero starring solid snake David hayter is a lot gorier and very cool. There was also a great Guyver series on manga video

[@joeontherun]

I remember being a little little kid thinking this was gonna be cheesy and it was really good

[@OhItsRoodie]

Classic movie from the 90’s, I’m surprised you hadn’t seen it before.

[@Fighterz-z1k]

The physical format always thrives

[@jreal5]

The guyver 2 is rated r and stars david hater the voice of solid snake from metal gear solid and writer on first x men movies.

[@splatterhouse138]

Dude. If you just enjoyed this A LITTLE... Dark Hero knocks it out of the park. I think you'd dig it, for sure! But UF put out a hell of a release with this one.

[@bambalam5897]

If you liked this you should check out Zeiram 1 & 2. Lots of fun creature stuff.

[@dramafoxx]

Oh if you don't have any unearthed stuff you need to se DR. LAMB and THE UNTOLD STORY

[@joeyandrews1921]

You need to get Atroz and The Abandoned from Unearthed As Well

[@ericspalacio]

Loved this cut of the movie but still prefer the original theatrical cut. I grew up with in the early 90s as it didn’t have a lot of the funny music effects 7 to 8 minutes in the movie that kinda made it look like a made for TV series. Also the cut I was used to did not have the Description or talking dialogue at the beginning, it just started off chasing the doctor, they caught him, killed him, and the credits rolled, also don’t want to be a buzz killer for a lot of the people that like the second one but visually I get what they mean, story wise I thought it was pretty boring, tried to sit through it more than once Was not as captivating as the first one.

[@jahdorose8659]

I think it's on Tubi TV

[@davidlawrencegraham6722]

mate you need to see guyver 2 its way better trust me you will love it : )

[@grahamtraill6554]

Love this movie and the animie very underrated mark Hamill movie

[@jimjones_koolaid]

Guyver 2 dark hero is way better, a lot less corny and more brutal

[@ScorpinasRevenge]

The Guyver 2 is even better than the original with a bigger budget. 👍😎

[@ricanman85]

I really hope they do the sequel too

[@dhatch591]

I think it had a lower budget

[@naturallawman2965]

Had this & Guyver 2 on VHS when I was a kid. Loved them. But Guyver 2: Dark Hero is FAR better. Hopefully Unearthed will put it out soon...

[@jreal5]

I would describe guyver as a rated r power rangers not ninja turtles. The animes are great

[@PlanetCHH]

Yes that’s a better way to put it for sure

[@MrBooone]

You should review Guyver Dark Hero, I refuse to watch this movie because I've heard nothing but terrible things, ranging from terrible characters and racist stereotypes (fucking alien with massive lips tht feels like that damn spongebob gangster robot in transformers 2). Apparently the director hated it too, and felt it hardly reflected what he wanted it to be when compared to the manga and anime. Apparently Dark Hero is more mature and far better, but I'd love to hear someone's thoughts on it, seems hardly anyone talks about it. It has more gore and more accurate characters

[@tonymata8070]

You can blame New Line Cinema or whoever distributed the film, they didn’t know whether to give it a tone similar to Batman or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hence why it’s a mixed bag.

[@jenniferthomas999]

Yup part 2 is way better.Very little to no humor in the second.

[@greg3118]

It's a bad movie on so many levels but very nice to look at. The monster you're referring to also raps. Guyver: Dark Hero (aka 2) is a noticeable improvement for the story and better nails the tone of the old anime. Hopefully it will see a 4K release soonish.

[@naturallawman2965]

You hate a movie, you've never watched? Wow dude... 🤪

[@slyfauxify]

Guyver Dark Hero has better fighting and a darker tone but the movie lacks any personality and the cast short of the protagonist is largely forgettable. I also remember it being way too long

[@bambalam5897]

I absolutely agree with you. I like Dark Hero well enough but I think the first movie is more fun and memorable.

[@wayne2160]

Part 2 is way better
