Toy Robot Video is preparing a Blu-ray edition of The Guyver 2: Dark Hero, the 1994 sequel that follows Sean Barker as he faces the Zoanoids and an alien threat uncovered at an archaeological dig in Utah. The release is based on a new master created from the best surviving film elements.
What’s included
- Two presentations of the film: the Original 1994 cut and an Enhanced version featuring new special effects.
- A new master transferred from the best surviving elements.
- Three new audio commentaries, one of which features director and creature effects artist Steve Wang.
- New interviews with members of the production and cast, including Steve Wang, David Hayter, Kathy Christopherson, screenwriter Nathan Long, and composer Les Claypool III.
- Behind-the-scenes footage shot during the original production and an archival “Making of Guyver: Dark Hero.”
- Trailers and photo galleries that include sketches from the production.
Directed by Steve Wang, who is known for his creature effects work, The Guyver 2 continues the story of the super-powered protagonist as he confronts human mutants called Zoanoids and an otherworldly arsenal that threatens humanity. The new Blu-ray package aims to present both the theatrical experience and an updated version with enhanced effects.
Collectors and fans of practical creature effects will likely find the commentaries, interviews and archival material of particular interest, as the release brings multiple production-era items together on a single disc set.
