The Guyver (1991)
The Guyver (1991) is a cult sci-fi action film based on the popular Japanese manga and anime series Bio Booster Armor Guyver by Yoshiki Takaya. Directed by Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, the film blends elements of superhero lore, martial arts, and creature feature aesthetics, resulting in a unique, albeit campy, cinematic experience.
The film follows Sean Barker (played by Jack Armstrong), an ordinary young man who inadvertently stumbles upon a mysterious alien device known as the “Guyver Unit.” This device transforms him into a powerful, bio-mechanical superhero known as the Guyver, capable of incredible strength, speed, and resilience.
Unbeknownst to Sean, the Guyver Unit is highly sought after by the nefarious Chronos Corporation, an organization with a dark secret: they are run by shape-shifting aliens known as Zoanoids, who can transform into monstrous creatures. 
Led by the evil Fulton Balcus (played by David Gale), Chronos will stop at nothing to retrieve the Guyver Unit and use its power for their sinister plans.
