Synopsis:
Steve Wang's GUYVER: DARK HERO. Also known as THE GUYVER 2.
As
many of you already know, the first Guyver film adaption wasn't too
successful with fans and non-fans alike. Mainly because of the direction
the producers chose to take the film into. Due to the success of
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the year before, producer Brian Yuzna &
co-director Screaming Mad George thought they would the film would gain
success if they tried to sell it to TMNT fans with a cheesy campy tone.
Unfortunately for them, that didn't play out too well and the film
received mainly negative reviews and reception from critics and fans.
A
few years later however, Steve Wang who co-directed the first film, was
given complete control to direct a sequel and thus made Guyver Dark
Hero! A much more faithful and mature incarnation of The Guyver manga
than it's predecessor. However, Guyver 2 didn't receive the theatrical
release the first got. It was released straight to video in 1994 but
since then has gained a cult status amongst fans, marking Guyver: Dark
Hero a cult classic from the 90's.
According to David Hayter, he
submitted an outline for Guyver 3 to Steve Wang after the conclusion of
Guyver 2. But the rights to The Guyver reverted back to its rightful
owners and Guyver 3 and the outline never saw the light of day.
Starring:
David Hayter, the voice of Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series
