Gamera: Super Monster


Gamera Super Monster , Uch Kaij Gamera? , Space Monster Gamera , a 1980 kaiju film, was the final entry in the Shwa Gamera series, and the last Gamera film written by Nisan Takahashi and directed by Noriaki Yuasa. It relied heavily on stock footage from previous Gamera films. This movie was made when Daiei Film was brought out of bankruptcy by the Tokuma Shoten publishing company. It was intended as a oneshot movie for children. There wasnt another Gamera film for anotheryears, until his revival in 1995.

Every kaiju fought by Gamera in the Showa series appears in this film, by way of stock footage. Subtitles are used to identify each creature Gyaos, Zigra, Viras, Jiger, Guiron and Barugon as he fights them. The stock footage takes up about onethird of the film, and only about two minutes worth of new Gamera footage is included. As Gamera originally fought Guiron on an alien planet Terra, a plot device was created that allowed Gamera to travel to his enemies locations.The movie makes use of popculture references, such as an alien spaceship that is reminiscent of an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars and the destruction of a billboard advertising a Godzilla film. ........
