The Guyver is a 1991 flick loosely based on a Japanese Manga, which was initially put out (in a heavily truncated version) by New Line Cinema on home video. It did well enough to get a sequel, Guyver: Dark Hero, but it’s a movie that hasn’t been super easy to see over the years – until now that is.

Unearthed Films, the same that rescued Martin Campbell’s awesome No Escape, is putting out The Guyver in fresh 4K edition packed with extras. Here’s the details:

...

The 4K UHD + Blu-ray + CD Soundtrack Limited Collector’s Edition includes new commentary with co-directors Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, a new interview with producer Brian Yuzna and co-director Screaming Mad George, outtakes with commentary by co-directors Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, a new gag reel, a new production and artwork gallery, an alternate title sequence, trailers, and The Guyver soundtrack, composed by Matthew Morse.

The Guyver hits 4K disc on June 25th.

You're welcome, everyone. I just recently bought the Blu-ray releases, so this was bound to happen.

Hugely influential manga, anime and film.

Even down to the latest iteration of Blue Beetle.

The anime always cracked me up because of the tranformation male and female. Males got to be the same right, just not showing it. I mean yeah, I know, but superpowers!

It's far from the only Anime to have transgender transformations. Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Ranma...

That kind of thing has been a staple of Japanese storytelling for a very long time.

its the tentacle thing in the tranformation im talking about. Also not unusual but again the scene for girls leaves one to assume its the same for the guys using the biotech suits.

loved this series as a teen. it was so brutal both in terms of violence and how it would kill off major characters
