Comment:
Funded and co-produced by Central Park Media, M.D. Geist: Director's Cut includes over five minutes of footage added to the original 1986 release, including new intoduction and ending sequences that lead the way to M.D. Geist II: Death Force.
M.D. Geist himself was the corporate mascot (a.k.a. "spokesmecha") of U.S. Manga Corps from 1990 to Central Park Media's demise in 2009.
