Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany times David hayter has been asked at muti sci-fi conventions if a third film was ever planned, himself and Steve wang have stated the rights are in limbo but would never rule out the making of a reboot guyver film.
- GoofsWhen Sean jumps off the cliff and transforms into the Guyver. He lands on the ground leaving two scorch marks. If you look behind them, you can see the real foot prints of where he was actually standing.
- Quotes
Sean Barker: The Guyver Unit. It's been a year since the alien armor invaded my body and became a part of me. A year since I first became the Guyver and destroyed the Chronos Corporation and their shape changing killers, the Zoanoids. Now Chronos is gone. But the Guyver stays in me. Calling me to fight. To kill.
- Alternate versions27 minutes has been cut from the UK region 2 DVD. This includes some moments of violence, a nightmare sequence, a scene which Sean breaks up with Mizky and scenes that further develop the relationship between Sean and Cori. However the 15 secs of cuts made to the earlier video release (a bloody shooting scene and a throat stabbing) have been restored.

As he struggles to find the purpose of the thing living inside him he is drawn to the caves of Utah where he will dicier the Guyver's true purpose.
It had been three years since the world had been exposed to the Americanization of a manga classic, some loved it,other despised it. The movie was inappropriately funny or unfunny,badly written and directed. The only redeeming feature where the really cool creature effects helmed by Co-Director Steve Wang.
Then came Guyver 2 this time helmed by Wang and it has to be one of the best sequels ever made. It stays more true to the comic,featuring some very cool monsters and some brilliant fight scenes choreographed by Drive action director Koichi Sakamoto which Steve Wang also directed.
It seems Wang wanted to be as faithful as possible to the original comic and he does it very well. One thing worth mentioning is a good acting turn by the voice of Solid Snake David Hayter who plays the role of Sean Barker, a role horribly done by Jack Armstrong(who?) in the original.
The story is better written in which Sean struggles with his curse that is the Guyver.
Although the acting is very hammy at times(What do you expect for a sci-fi b-movie) I recommend that people wanting to find out about The Guyver best watch the original anime show then view this live action version before viewing the first movie.
I also recommend you pick up the Region 1 uncut DVD as it presents the film in all its gory glory.
