Professor Ki Padosan (1994)

Synopsis:
Professor Vidyadhar teaches Hindi in a college and resides in a flat with his wife, Shobha, and school-going son, Pappu. He leads a fairly routine and mundane life, until a new resident in the flat upstairs moves in - an attractive young actress by the name of Menaka Khanna, the daughter of a wealthy man, Dinanath. Shobha does not approve of her at all and tells her so in quite a candid manner. An enraged Menaka swears she will make Shobha regret her criticism. So she decides to seduce Vidyadhar and does succeed to a considerable extent, and even plays his bride in a commercial for "Vicks Vaporub". When Shobha finds out, she decides to put an end to this affair, and a terrified Vidyadhar consumes a portion that makes him invisible, thus temporarily saving him from his wife's wrath. This does leave his free to pursue Menaka, only to find out that Menaka has two other much younger suitors, namely Ranjit Das and Vinod, and both are not likely to give Menaka that easy - at least not ...

Pearl Harbor: The View From Japan (1994)

Synopsis:
On December 7, 1941, explosions rocked Pearl Harbor and altered the course of history. Now, meet the man who executed the attack. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was a military genius who brought modern warfare into the aerial age. Although opposed to attacking the United States and "awakening the sleeping giant," Admiral Yamamoto dedicated his life to the battle that devastated U.S. morale and forced America into World War II.

In an interesting historical departure, this fascinating documentary analyzes the attack on Pearl Harbor from the Japanese point of view and focuses on Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese military mastermind who (though bitterly opposed) planned the attack on the U.S. fleet anchored in Hawaii. If history is written by the victors, this view of the events of December 7, 1941, fills an important gap in the historical narrative of World War II.

It is somewhat mis-titled, for it actually briefly covers the entire ill-fated Pacific campaign. It has a strong focus on Admiral Yamamoto himself--his foresight and vision as a military leader, and his reluctance to enter into a fight with the U.S. It is interesting to hear a few words from the Japanese perspective, yet it seems that is all you get--a few words. There is little groundwork laid which might explain more fully Japan's reasons for attacking us.

Guyver: Dark Hero (1994)

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
