Summary: Awesome movie
Review: Gamera escapes from the rocket that was supposed to take him to Mars. Barugon and Gamera both look tight. No child cheering Gamera on through the whole movie. Gamera's scariest look of the Showa series. A great film for all ages. 10 stars out of 5

Summary: Big Turtle vs. Freezer-tongue
Review: Gamera must stop destroying things and save japan from the horrid Barugon, a gigantic lizard with a mile-long tongue that shoots a frosty, fire-extinguisher-like blast. Barugon also emits a killer rainbow (??!) from out of it's back! Gamera isn't in it as much as I'd like, but the battles are cool. The first half of the movie is about the plight of a group of thieves who unwittingly release Barugon from it's "egg". It grows at an alarming rate, wiping out all in it's path! Can Gamera stop this grumpy reptile in time? Watch and be astonished...

Summary: Yes, well anyway....
Review: I have seen this movie and the DVD on it, and they both stink. The picture is grainy and the voice dubbing stinks. This movie most likely was booed in Japan at the theaters, and it still looks awful today.

Summary: Is This Gamera's Movie?
Review: I know Gamera had two fights, but one was short. Barugon may be one of Gamera's most amazing enemies, but out of an hour and a half, Gamera gets 20 minutes of screen time while Barugon gets half the movie! Still I like the battles and Gamera looks destructive. I like the fact that Barugon is a mutated demon. I would of given it 4 but the DVD's terrible.

Summary: WOW!!!!!!! Surprisingly Good
Review: I rented this and was very impressed, as most people know the old Gamera movies are........in one word,horrible, this one isn't though.(NOTE:This is nothing like the chessy and horrible Gamera vs. Zigra, or Gamera vs. Guiron) This is a completly different series. Baraguon is awesome and quite a skilled fighter, this is no were near cheesy or corny to me. For a true Kaiju(giant monster)fan it is a must see.

Summary: Gamera is back and this time he's in color AND the HERO!
Review: In "War of the Monsters: Gamera vs. Barugon" (known as "Daikaijû kessen: Gamera tai Barugon" in the Land of the Rising Sun) everybody's favorite jet-powered super-turtle Gamera battles Barugon, a gigantic horned dinosaur hatched from a huge opal. From his deadly horns, Barugon emits the devastating "rainbow ray" and he also has some wild tongue action that defies description. That means in this second edition of the Gamera series, the giant turtle gets to be the hero, so it sure was a good thing the Japanese Defense Forces decided to let him live at the end of the first film. Gamera was awakened by a nuclear explosion, but Barugon gets hatched when a bunch of stupid gangsters try to cash in on the giant opal, which, of course, is really a giant egg. Unlike the first Gamera film, "War of the Monsters: Gamera vs. Barugon" is in color (which makes the special effects look cheesier) and in Japanese (which means unemployed American actors are sparred being spliced into the action, a ploy that only worked with Raymond Burr in the original "Godzilla" film). The first half of the film is arguably more boring than the original film, mainly because it is a monster movie with no monsters until the second half. But you do have the semblance of a fight between the two creatures in the end. Consider this one step forward and one step backwards with regards to the original Gamera film. The cast is headed by Kojiro Hongo as Keisuke Hirata, Koji Fujiyama as Onodera, and Kyôko Enami as Karen.

Summary: THE REAL WAY TO HEAR GAMERA!!!!!
Review: It should be noted that this is the AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL
version of this film. It features excellent dubbing and should not be confused with the horrible SANDY FRANK version that aired on
MST3K.

Summary: Gamera's first battle!!
Review: Its about time we started to see the AIP-TV versions of these classic films. This one is a pretty good monster movie, but the series would not really get down to business until the next sequel. This one only features Gamera in three quick scenes which also appear in DESTROY ALL PLANETS. The rest of the movie is a story about three jewel thieves who unwittingly bring the egg of a giant lizard creature to Japan, thinking they have found a rare opal. Theres no little kids cheering for Gamera just yet, and the giant turtle isnt quite a hero, destroying a dam for his first appearence in the film. But even though the dvd is not great quality, the movie is pretty cool. The only AIP dubbed Gamera film to still be unavailable is RETURN OF THE GIANT MONSTERS, hopefully coming out soon!

Summary: Gamera vs Barugon
Review: This film is great, it can be emotional at some points, and the fighting scenes are great. Although the picture isn't too good and it is in full screen, this doesn't take away from this film. The characters are great, the monsters are great. This is the only showa Gamera film that doesn't have a child that doesn't have a child star. Gamera looks very good in this film, with an evil look in the face, Barugon looks realistic as well. If your a fan of these films, then this is worth the time and money.
