Gyaos Movies

Gamera vs. Gyaos

In the third Gamera movie, our favorite giant turtle takes on flying monster that shoots a powerful cutting beam from its mouth and can spray fire retardant gas from its chest. Of course there's a little kid and Gamera saves him. Also, humanity shows much more creativity in trying to dispose of Gyaos than in practically any other giant monster film. This movie was dubbed for U.S. TV by AIP.

Gamera vs. Guillon

More or less a remake of the previous film in the Gamera series, Gamera vs. Viras. Two young children (again, one Japanese and one Caucasian) are kidnapped by a flying saucer and taken to a planet directly opposite the Earth on the other side of the sun. Gamera follows and battles the monster Guillon, who is employed by the two inhabitants of the planet to protect them.

We've seen three different versions of this movie. Neptune Video has released excellent uncut subtitles and dubbed versions on VHS. The AIP TV version has been released on DVD, though it has some violence cut from the bizarre scene where Guiron carves up a Space Gyaos. The movie was also seen on Mystery Science Theater 3000

Gamera Super Monster

Gamera vs. stock footage! Yes, rather than film any new Gamera footage, a bunch of his old fights were edited into a movie about some female superheroes trying to stop a space pirate.

This movie was dubbed for U.S. TV, but rarely seen. The TV version cut perhaps the most interesting bits for viewers today, some brief scenes where Gamera "met" the Space Cruiser Yamato and Galaxy Express 999.

Gamera , Guardian of the Universe

Director Kaneko revamps the old Gamera series into something hugely entertaining. Gamera and Gyaos are the products of a lost civilization, and they've both been awakened in the present day. Great special effects and a good story.

Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

The Gamera trilogy comes to an incredible conclusion as Gamera takes on another monster born of ancient super-science. This one, Iris, is controlled by a young girl who lost her family in one of Gamera's earlier rampages. There's an early scene, in which Gamera fights two Gyaos in a heavily populated city, that must be seen to be believed. The ending may be one of the frustrating ever given to a genre film.
