Gamera vs. Barugon | comment |
The second movie in the original Gamera series, and easily the most adult, Gamera vs. Barugon was created as an A-list picture by Daei studios after the success of Giant Monster Gamera. It was released in 1966. It stars Kojiro Hongo in his first Gamera film, and it has a music score by Chuji Kinoshita. Originally envisioned as a movie where a race of aliens with freezing technology take over the Earth before Gamera escapes the rocket and returns, the freezing powers were eventually given to the monster Barugon after some rewrites. This film is the most comparable to the Godzilla series, as it is the only film in the Showa era which lacks a child among the cast. It (arguably) also has two of the most realistic human brawls ever seen in a kaiju movie. Also unlike the other films in the series, Gamera vs. Barugon was directed by Shigeo Tanaka, with Noriaki Yuasa helming only the special effects.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode see here. Not to be confused with War of the Monsters. | |

Darker and Edgier: Compared to the previous film and the other Showa films that came after it, Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the Showa-era Gamera films. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Gamera vs. Barugon / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The scene where Karen licks the blood off Keisuke's arm after a fist fight with Onodera. From the camera angling, some see it as her pleasuring him orally. And possibly another scene later where she's upset, and sitting, and turns to Keisuke, who is standing up. Cue her head being in another suggestive spot. | |

It Only Works Once: Why the plan to reflect Barugon’s Rainbow Death Ray back at him ultimately failed. Though the reflector inflicted an incredible amount of damage, Barugon then knew that the humans had a way to kill him, and chose not to use his Rainbow Death Ray again. | |

Villainous Rescue | |
Gamera vs. Barugon / int_446c5792 | comment |
Villainous Rescue: In a manner of speaking. At this point in the series, Gamera was still considered a dangerous monster, so when he shows up at the end to kill Barugon and save the humans, it's only out of revenge. Even in the next film, Gamera vs. Gyaos, Gamera is still regarded as dangerous in the first part of the film. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Gamera vs. Barugon / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: In what certainly constitutes one of the oddest examples of name changes in the entire genre, the German dub decided to rename Gamera to Barugon, while Barugon became Godzilla (pronounced as "Got-schilla"). Certain home video releases would at least reinstate Gamera's name into the title, though the three monster names would be juggled around rather carelessly between the releases — among other alternate German titles, the film would be marketed as "Gamera vs. Barugon", "Godzilla, the Dragon from the Jungle" and even "Gamera vs. Godzilla". | |
