Starring Koji Fujiyama, Reiko Kasahara, Keiichi Noda. Directed by Noriaki Yuasa. Gamera's original adventures ended with this stinker about Gamera and some kids foiling an invasion of Earth by an alien shark. Lots of filler shot in a Japanese version of Sea World. This movie was dubbed for U.S. TV. It has been released on video in both Japanese and English by Neptune video. The movie was also seen on Mystery Science Theater 3000. |

a.k.a. Space Monster Gamera, Super Monster
Japan, 1980 |

Starring Yoko Komatsu, Keiko Kudo, Koichi Maeda. Directed by Noriaki Yuasa. 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. |
