Trivia:

Final Showa era Gamera movie, and final Showa era giant monster film. The Showa era refers to the giant monster films made between Gojira (1954) and this film. The Heisei era of giant monster films would begin with Gojira (1984) but the Gamera series would not be revived for the Heisei era until Gamera daikaijû kuchu kessen (1995) which ignored the previous films. more

So what if it's cheap....., 25 March 2001
10/10

Just because it's cheap, cheap, cheap doesn't mean it's not fun, fun, fun. And to be honest, Supermonster Gamera is a blast from start to finish. It's great to see all of Gamera's foes in one movie, even if it is all stock footage. The best thing about the film without a doubt is the awesome musical score, especially some of the battle themes. I have a weird fondness for this movie I cant explain. I like it better than some of Gamera's more legit films. If you can find a copy of either the Japanese or American versions, I seriously urge you to watch it with an open mind. Gamera rules!!
