Wang was more than just a sculptor of latex and foam rubber. He got into directing professionally starting with 1991’s The Guyver. He also directed it’s sequel Guyver: Dark Hero and even a buddy cop style action film called Drive in 1997. Prior to these direct to video films, Wang also produced, directed and starred in a passion project called Kung-Fu Rascals. The classic has been released in a beautiful Collector’s Edition blu-ray set by Visual Vengeance and Wild Eye Releasing. Earlier this year I reviewed Budget Biomorphs: The Making of The Guyver Films by Dom O’Brien for PopGeeks. The film really acts as an in-depth exploration of the filmmaking of career of Steve Wang.

I remember seeing Kung-Fu Rascals on VHS back in the day. It was so weird and wonderful. It's awesome to see it get a proper re-release. I'm definitely picking this up. I love those old-school martial arts movies, and this one takes it to a whole new level of crazy.
