I'd say the popularity of the Gamera movies among Japanese kids wasn't so much as giant monsters whaling on each other, but seeing kids just like them knowing everything and bossing all the adults around. Because in these movies, if a giant monster shows up, the closest 12 year old boy apparently declares martial law and takes over Japan.
Jiger didn’t get Gamera Pregnant Gamera is a boy, Jiger is a Girl she was Pregnant and she layed her egg in Gamera like the tarantula Hawk wasp lay there eggs in Tarantulas
If what you're saying is true, that means the Gamera movies were really, and I mean REALLY, pandering to Japanese kids! Sort of like how the dub team for the first Pokemon movie, left the Alakazam error in to make kids feel smarter.
So we've got a Triceratops who can shoot needles, fly with teeny tiny rocket boosters, move objects by telekinesis and create a scorching hot rainbow. Definitely the most crazy array of powers I've ever seen.
The reason for all the Expo '70 propaganda is because they co-financed the movie. Daei was in serious financial troubles in the 1970's. So the reason it's such a crisis that Jiger is trying to destroy Expo is because if she does then they won't have the funds to finish making the movie. Just get ready for the next one where Sea World is co-financing the movie.
If I ever get to direct a monster movie, I'll have an event for it at the local convention place but a scene in the movie (which debuts at said place) where it's damaged by the monster and have something happen in the screening room like a giant monster hand busting a wall or whatever as a gag, like how the superman vs goku rematch had the convention room it was debuted in glitch up at the part where Superman shoves goku through the convention building. P.s. Thanks to anyone who reads this entire thing and sorry at the same time
I find it amusing that Gamera in the later films is helpless on his back...when the very first film shows him pretty much shrugging that off. Reminds me of Godzilla just walking through power lines in the first film, then in at least 4 other films being vulnerable to electricity.
I saw this movie on its first run in Japan as a kid. Some of the scenes including the egg injection and brain stabbing pretty much traumatized me for years.
3:36 "Heres a random african guy spouting gibberish" And heres what youtube Closed caption made of it. " Totally Evil! Yeah... I got to go boom! Honking wow I'm! " BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I think official captions exist so it might not be giberish? at least I watched the japanese version with subs on and it said "(in african language) no you cant take the statue" or something, so is Brandon rasist? (joking)
This one deserves more love. I think it's the best Showa Gamera film directed by the usual director. Barugon is my favorite but this one has less annoying kids and certainly a bigger budget compared to the last two movies. Jiger is a neat monster.
17:31 so that's where they got the idea for ep 5 of Ultraman Blazar from, though in Dorgo's case the statue only stimulates its nerves enough to put it to sleep
Gamera: Xpo tours!!! Founder: hello everyone including kaiju!!!! *the crowd looks up* Founder: welcome to xpo!! The largest tourists attraction in the world!!! Note we do not care for *lasers being fired and huge stomping and sirens sounding* the city that gets attack by aliens enemy kaiju and so on. *BOOM!!!!!* Founder: now watch this welcoming clip of what you need to know of Xpo. *clicks on romote* 2:58
I was probably 5 or 6 when i first saw this and i was terrified of the monsters.. especially the little one crawling around inside Gamera, tearing holes in his heart... and that xray beam too from the big one...
I think throughout this whole movie, you could do a drinking game for every moment you hear about "Expo 70". And dammit Kenny's! Stop interrupting the final fights!!
+Anthony Asencio so we're just going to forget Guiron cutting Gyaos' head off then continue cutting Gyaos' body like cold-cuts or when Viras makes his crew members shed the human skin and merges with them? (yeah creepy stuff)
One thing I've never understood in older Kaiju films is an intense announcement of what they are officially deciding to call the monster.. They even did it in Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster
thanks Brandon Tenold you know when I have a tough day your reviews make me laugh and your reviews make you much different from all critics you're alright I like you
Wait... He has unusual but limited moves can only do each so many times a movie changes appearances and powers sometimes AND gets bossed around by young people.. is gamera the first Pokemon?
The Expo 70 footage is literally the only thing I enjoy about this movie. I grew up in Japan (military brat) and my childhood home was within walking distance of Expo Park. You could actually see the Tower of the Sun from my bedroom window.
Can the coolest reviewer ever make a review of my favorite movie that I have ever watched?It is Godzilla:Final Wars.Oh yeah and you forgot to put the part where you see the worms in the elephants trunk.
1:39 Well every Monster movie in italy IS called King Kong with the opponent Monsters names in the titles of the Godzilla movies being replaced by King kong
You know i think gamera is a robot he hates carrots and likes oil and i think the blood gamera has is oil and his blood isnt the same color as the other monsters
3:54 Hold on a minute, the African guy is upset that they’re stealing the statue, and because they stole it, a monster is unleashed called “JIGER”. 😥YIKES!

The concept of a meta Kaiju movie is breaking my brain. Will it be co-produced by Charlie Kaufman and Dan Harmon?
Who financed Gamera: Super Monster, Casio? Or some other keyboard company
Yeah
I think I'm starting to understand why Gamera isn't that popular like how Godzilla is.

So are you saying Monster X has Jiger's ability to impregnate they're opponent with a mini skull man?

Scientists labor to find out what the hell is the deal with Japan
Oh wtf... That's awful
Wait, since jiger is allergic to phones, and IPhones keep getting bigger, then couldn't u kill jiger with an iPhone 15 or something like that?
Brilliant, Gavin! We can pierce Jiger’s heart by throwing our iPhones at it!
Or just blind it with its 100010188679330 cameras
I think the 15 will be big enough that Gamera can just beat Jiger to death with it. That's assuming Gamera can lift the thing.
I'm shocked you skipped the surgery stock footage with the elephant parasites
Maybe because it was too disgusting.
Love these Gamera reviews.. You should make them a little longer.
Please, all kaiju want a night with Mothra. Gamera's just pissy she one night stand'd him.
Lol!
***** Creepy...
***** Take a wild guess.

Nah, not until he turned into Gidrah, anyway. This Monster X actually looks pretty cool, like a cross between a Coelocanth and a Triceratops.

2:19 (in squidward voice): well it's true (laughs to self)
I saw this one as a kid and my kid brain actually liked it.
"I'm not going to argue with science" said immediately after arguing with science. LMBO!
The song of the intro was amazing!!!
I kno make sure too listen to all the intros. Each one has there own art ending.

12:06 oh no this is worst then the stand up I had with mothra
I lost it
I like to play the Lemmiwinks song when the Kennys play Raquel Welch in Gamera.
Jiger used to scare me as a kid, I used to hid in my blankets when I see her lol
The flying scenes in Reptilicus were more convincing.

14:50 would have made more sense to say the sound waves made through the transmitter disrupt the electrical signals in the JB's brain
If hearing the Gamera theme song playing over and over has taught me one thing, it's that I truly, truly hate the sound of children singing.

No matter how stupid this movie gets... it’s still my favorite. Mainly for bringing back my childhood.
My favorite of the Gamera series 👊
As a child I LOVED Gamera movies.
As an adult Gamera VS Monster X is the only one I find watchable.
here's a joke when they shoot at gamera, he had enough of their bull carp and decides to let them take care of the threat they awaken
Ironically, what Jiger does to Gamera is basically what the MUTOs were said to do to Godzilla’s species in the 2014 film.
You know i think gamera is a robot he hates carrots and likes oil and i think the blood gamera has is oil and his blood isnt the same color as the other monsters
3:54 Hold on a minute, the African guy is upset that they’re stealing the statue, and because they stole it, a monster is unleashed called “JIGER”.
😥YIKES!
Greatest opening in UA-cam history.
i love this channel so much
You just knew that as soon as you saw the sub, the 2 Kenny's were gonna end up in it!!!
I'm pretty sure Jiger's parasitic reproduction (as well as actual parasitic wasps) could be the inspiration for the MUTOs in the MonsterVerse.
Love the MST3K references, I love watching it, along with Rifftrax
Great video!
Those kennys in the last Gamera movies have given me 3 types of pains in my ears because of the dumb things they say.
1:43 that intro music fits perfectly... Said no human being ever.
So are you gonna go over the 90's trilogy and the 2006 one or just give your general opinions on them?
He did Gamera the brave so hopefully he does the trilogy.
