Guyver (aka Mutronics) (1991)

[Basketcase]

Ok does anyone else wish a uk release of the first guyver movie would show up on dvd. so far they have only released a region 1 of the directors cut but for some reason it has most of the best gore scenes cut .

Is that the one with Mark Hamil? I didn't realise there were more.
I remember my local video shop having a full size cardboard cut out of the film when it came out.

only saw this on vhs many moons ago. yeah would be cool to get a real good release, at least this was better than Guyver: Dark Hero.

I thought they directed it or at least co-directed it.
