Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Giant Monster Gamera, also known as Gammera the Invincible during its North American release, is a 1965 film that marked the beginning of the Gamera franchise. It is directed by Noriaki Yuasa and written by Niisan Takahashi. The film originally started life as a story about giant rats, but when the rats that were going to be used ended up being unusable due to fleas and other reasons, the filmmakers retooled the script and changed the monster(s) into a giant turtle. The film was one of the last giant monster films to be shot in black-and-white.The film stars Eiji Funakoshi as Dr. Hidaka, Michiko Sugata as Nobuyo Sakurai, Harumi Kitaichi as Kyoko Yamamoto and Junichiro Yamashita as Cameraman Aoyagi.There are two different English dubs of the film: the U.S. cut Gammera the Invincible, which included additional footage and also cut many sequences, and the later "Sandy Frank" or international dub, which follows the Japanese storyline closely, with only a few changes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film was released on November 27, 1965. Its story is followed by Gamera vs. Barugon.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode see here.

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: While the Japanese version never had one to begin with, Gammera The Invincible does. You can listen to all of its mid-'60s grooviness here.

Anti-Villain: Gamera isn't so much evil as he is... well, an animal. Like any animal he needs to feed. The problem is he feeds on fossil fuels and nuclear power, which are often in populated areas, especially cities. This is the main source of the problem.
