Out Of Control:
Type: Animated Lanuage: Japanese (Eng Subtitles)
Duration: 55mins Cert: None
This move ia another tale of the original Guyver story (A boy named Sho Fukamachi activates the Guyver and
fights Chronos) but the difference between this version and most other versions of the story are; there is no Tetsuro, Guyver
Two is female, there is no Agito and the identity of Guyver Three remains unknown. This film is also the most adult version
of the story in my opinion, my reasons being the scene where Valcura becomes Guyver Two and other secens of similar nature
involing Mizuky. The film is undoubtably a classic but compared to the story we know (since more has happened since then),
this first four episodes rolled into a movie no longer has a great impact, though it is still worth a watch. - OOP*

The Guyver aka. Mutronics

Year: 1991 Directed by: Screaming Mad Gearge and Steve Wang

Too Long Cert: 15
Known as Mutronics by its UK release, The Guyver is an American remake of the basic story that has been
retold many times (with a few differences in events and characters), it is an insult to the great comic series by Yoshiki
Takaya, the acting and storyline were both pathetic and the film was completly ruined by way too much attempted comedy. It
was so bad that even the amazing effects and Mark Hamil could not make this movie work (though it would have sucked twenty
times more without them).
In more detail: The acting and 'humour' was similar to the acting from the childrens tv show 'Power Rangers',
and so were the Zoanoids. Nothing was to scale; it took about twenty minutes for the Guyver to defeat (not even kill) one
Zoanoid and only five minutes to defeat (in Zoalord Form) Dr Hamlicar Valkus (or Fulton Balcus as he was called in this film)
who is supposed to be the second most powerful being in existance. On the subject of Valkus I must say, his Zoaform was quite
kool and you don't get to see it in the anime or in the comic series (yet) but its somewhat unooficial, but his character
in the movie was a mockery of the great scientist from the comic series, the movie Valkus has a habbit touching peoples heads
and he looked more like the twelth Zoalord (Riechman Guyot) than the Valkus all Guyver fans know. And instead of Zoanoids
or any other Chronos agents slaughtering anyone who sees them, they well, they act like fucking clowns (theres no other way
of putting it). I could go on but thinking about this piece of shit is giving me a headache.
Overall this film is an insult to the greatest comic hero in the world, if you are a fan of the Guyver stick
to the comics, anime and this film's sequal 'Dark Hero'. I can think of only one reason why this film is rare and rated 15;
all sci-fi fans destroyed their copies before taking their own lives and you dont want weak minded young people seeing
anything like this. What a fucking mockery, it is the most expensive, most rare and by far the most godawful piece of
shit I have ever baught (on video). - OOP*
Guyver: Dark Hero aka. Guyver 2: Dark Hero
tag-line "Sci-Fis most powerful superhero is back"
Year: 1994 Director: Steve Wang Type: Non-Animated
Lanuage: English Duration: UK-100mins AUS- 118mins USA-127mins
Cert: 15
This story takes place a few years after Mutronics where Sean (the Guyver) is having visions in his dreams
which lead him to an archeoliogical site in Utah where ancient relics are burried. This movie is very great, a real improvment
from the first one (well lets pretend this is the first one), it has more original ideas for an adaptation and aslo features
the Guyver Zoanoid (which Yoshiki Takaya designed), definetly worth a watch. - Availible here
