Rating: Summary: Big problem with this DVD Review: The scene where Guiron chops off Gaos's wings and head is completely missing! The best fight scene in the movie and it's not in there. Buy the VHS instead, at least that doesn't have a missing scene.
Rating: Summary: As good as "Godzilla vs. Megalon"! Review: This has got to be one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen in my entire life! I am a huge fan of old japanese monster movies and this one is one of my favorites! Some of the best of the Gamera series, stars Guiron, who stands on 4 legs who also sprouts a huge knife on his head who he uses to slice apart other monsters, 2 alien women who are trying to eat two little kids and of course Gamera, who shows one of his skinniest and funniest costumes ever. Zigra also appears just briefly as he gets limbs sliced off by Guiron, obviously Zigra dies, but as he lies on the ground dying, Guiron slowly cuts him into smaller pieces (really graphic for a kids movie)! Gamera and Guiron battle on land, sea, and air on the alien planet with the world hanging in the balance! Many funny bits in the film such as... Gamera acting as a gymnest as he spins on parellel bars that connect 2 buildings, as Zigra tries to fly away from Guiron, he jumps up like 100 ft. in the air to cut Zigra in half, and more! This is where Dieti Co. was running out of money and the series was reduced to this gem right here. If you like films like "Godzilla vs. Megalon" or "Godzilla vs. Gigan".... this will be a real tresure for your video collection.
Rating: Summary: Attack of the Monsters Review: This is the one where Gamera fights a monster with a knife for a head and throwing stars shooting from its temple. There is a classic Gamera gymnastic scene thats worth the DVD alone. The story is about two boys who take a UFO trip to a world on the opposite side of the sun. Funny looking space women try to eat the brians of the boys to absorb their knowledge of earth. Gamera comes to the rescue. Kills Guiron. Takes kids back to earth. The End. Other Gamera treasures to hunt for are "Gamera Vs Zigra" and "Gamera Vs Gaos". Remember, these are Kaiju films(Japanese giant monsters). throw believe-ability out the door and enjoy the childish monster fighting-otherwise, don't buy this movie.
