Kind of wonder if the next one might get a half star or nothing. At least were near the trilogy now.
One more piece of shit left.
I want a Coke!
I was supposed to make a big turtle joke for the last video so uh here goes
big turtle vs orbeez spaceship and a big shark that can stand up and breathe on land
I didn'y know this movie existed until it was Riffed on MST3k. So bad. 😀
The Kenny’s were annoying as Fuck!!! That is what Duct Tape is made for!!
Ah yes, Gamera goes to sea world, my favorite.
Zigra has a great design and it's a drag it appears in a crappy movie.
My least favourite Gamera film.
Gamera modern cinematic universe when
Godzilla crossover when
低予算で試行錯誤した末期症状の昭和ガメラ最後の１本…これは酷かったな⤵️
ソーセージパン食べながら子供心にそう思った。
ジグラ弱すぎて情けなくなったけど背鰭叩きながらはしゃぐガメラには幻滅したな。
Ww でも良い想いで！時代の息吹きをありがとう。:-)
This guy doesn't explain or narrate. He drones.
The outerspace lady is kind of hot!
Zigra is a really cool monster. But you can feel it's not trying
Zigra is easily the best thing about this movie, a fish monster is definitely something you don't see a lot in tokusatsu (the only other real fish-like kaiju is Aqua Mothra Leo, and that was over twenty years later.) Design is great, but unfortunately he couldn't carry the movie to greatness by himself.
This movie is so good! Honestly the best alien Gamera film
Horrible horrible movie…"Vexatious as Hell" was the review I read that sums up the two kids best.
And yes, 5-year-olds love this movie. I have seen that first hand.
I have also seen adults nauseated by watching it..
Almost every one of the Showa-era reviews start with "Despite the financial success of the previous Gamera-film, Daiei where in financial trouble". It makes me think that either someone at the studios financial-department where terrible at their job, or someone was using way too much money on hookers and blow.
Dude, your problem is that this film is for kids, and not for adults, including you. You didn't figure that out???
for the third time now….he says "financial hurtles" but my brain in gamera review mode: "financial turtles"
Zigra's roar at 1:33 sounds like La Carcagne from the Giant Claw
This movie is just a bad one
So, I (22) decided to watch your playlist of Gamera reviews, and my mom (A lifelong Gamera fangirl of 40+ years) caught me watching this review.
She freaked out so much that the one sound that managed to cut through my headphones while listening to this was her gleefully childlike cry of "GAMERAA!!"
Leaving a like & a comment to hype up kaiju homie for his eventual return!! Hope you are doing well, Brandon!
I will never watch this movie even if I had a gun pointed at my head
If Gamera vs. Zigra were to be remade today, Zigra's powers would be expanded, and something could be salvaged from the uneven 1971 original (I always liked the Showa-era Gamera flicks.) Plus a lot of dark humour would surround the plot itself. 😸😸🐢🐢🐢🇬🇧🇺🇸

Personal Rating: **
This movie is definitely one of the worst films ever made just like super monster gamera but at least this film(gamera vs zigra) doesn’t have a lot of stockfootage and the kaiju(zigra) is definitely decent.
1 – Great review!
2 – Much better than I expected.
3 – These kids were seriously loud and annoying.
4 – Zigra was somewhat goofy, especially his deep, slow speaking voice.
5 – The "Gamera Girl" alien babe was just absolutely fine. I might be watching too many Japanese Kaiju films in quick succession!
6 – I hate that Gamera resorted to "Playing" his fins like a xylophone.
7 – Did I say the Astronaut/Alien girl was fine?
funny story the whole time we thought zigra was a dolphin.
