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 introduction and ending sequences that lead the way to "M.D. Geist II: Death Force".
The character M.D. Geist himself was the corporate mascot (a.k.a. "spokesmecha") of U.S. Manga Corps from day one and up until the company's demise in 2009.
M.D. Geist was inspired by Mad Max and Armored Trooper Votoms.
