Wait, wait... Did they say it would cause a Magnitude 18 Earthquake? That's insane. When this movie was made they would still have been using the Richter Magnitude scale where a Magnitude 10 Earthquake would be a once a millenium super-quake and each increase of 1 magnitude increases the power by a factor of ten. If the earth is shaking 100000000 times more than a super-quake you only see every thousand years, that's not an earthquake anymore, that's an explosion that makes an atomic bomb look tame. Bits of Japan would be in orbit.
Fun fact, an earthquake of magnitude 15 is what the seismometers on Alderon measured when it was shot by the Deathstar. An 18 would be 100 times stronger than the force needed to destroy the earth.
If it's a 10x increase per wouldn't it be something like 1000 times stronger than the 15? . . Could be very wrong there the richter scale has always confused me a bit. Reminds me of having a gravler magnitude every random encounter in an old Pokemon game. Just casually throwing out 5-10 scale earthquakes on random caterpillar monsters.
@@wugglesx IRL the Richter scale doesn't go above 10 since no earthquake ever seen on Earth is that powerful, magnitude 18 would be 8 powers of 10 stronger....
Grey Jedi One of the reasons I like tokusatsu/kaiju flicks is that the monster costumes were quite inventive, actually, and the models of cityscapes looked pretty decent. The cinematography was also done quite well.

7:36 "What's magnitude mean?" "Well, you see, it's a scale from one to ten that measures the destruction caused by earthquakes. So there is no such thing as magnitude eighteen. Even Nigel Tufnel understands that."
Daiei was actually bankrupt DURING the shooting of "Gamera vs. Zigra", the thing is only the higher-ups knew about it. It's a wonder (and testament to director Yuasa) the picture was even completed at all. "Kenny's" name is "Kenichi" in the original Japanese. "Kenny" is more of Sandy Frank's tomfoolery. The environmental thing was a big deal in 1971. Japan had a HUGE problem with pollution at the time. However, they were able to curtail it and pretty much get it under control. But the opening credits of "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster"? Yeah, that's pretty much how bad it was at the time. The "earth science" refers to stuff we shot into space that somehow managed to make it to Planet Zigra and polluted it. The Japanese version is explicitly said to take place in 1971. Sandy Frank changed it to "1985" in his dubbing to make the movie seem more current when he released it here in 1987. Are you really only just noticing Gamera's bloodshot eyes now? He's had them since way back in "Gamera vs. Gaos." Pictured here, "vs. Viras", which used the same costume as "vs. Gaos.": vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/godzilla/images/b/b2/Gamera_wird_gew%C3%BCrgt.png/revision/latest?cb=20140504122412&path-prefix=de
I just realized that one of the actors in this film was in a previous Gamera film. Kōji Fujiyama was the evil thief in Gamera vs Barugon. Apparently, he was in the first one as well. He plays a scientist here. 18:25
Funny thing is, I actually was introduced to this movie, not by MST3K or Monstervision, but by a clip on a Pee-wee's Playhouse episode... ...which, imdb tells me, aired over 25 years ago. Huh. I think I just felt all my joints rust up.
+Kabe Silvermaine "gets worse" is an understatement. I can actually sit through these movies, but watching Super Monster should be considered an act of torture.
+Matthew Keith Torture? Who DOESN'T like really bad greenscreen effects paired with sickeningly obnoxious use of stock footage and Star Wars ripoffs? Oh, yeah. No one. No one I know, at least.
Honestly given how Daiei was going bankrupt at this point, this movie really should have been the end of the Showa Gamera series. Gamera: Super Monster had no reason to exist other than as Daiei last attempt to get out of bankruptcy. So with that said, Gamera vs Zigra feels like a much more satisfying end to the Showa series. Screw Super Monster. This is the true ending of the Showa series.

"Zigra hits Gamera with his dreaded DERR Ray!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!!! & believe it or not b4 cable, dvd, VHS, & MST3K (dark times) all of the original Gamera movies played on regular tv (back n the days when most people only had 6 to 8 channels; I had only 6 channels). I do remember watching this on regular tv in the '70s. "Gamera Super Monster" was the only exception.
Fun fact: The Richter-scale is logarythmic. Everything above 10 is already catastrophic for the entire world. (And was never registered, for obvious reasons.) Magnitude 18 would be enough to make half the solar system explode, I wager. It would be ludicrous overkill worthy of a parody.
Hopefully I got it right, each point is 10 times more powerful than the last but in terms of an energy release (and hopefully is linear and not exponential) is roughly 31.6 times more than the last. If I had done the calculations correctly then the release of a magnitude 18 is approximately 6.25x10^31 which is slightly less than the amount required to destroy Earth which is 2.3x10^32 I really hope I got this correct ;p
Final installment? Well, I hope you're going to mention Gamera's glorious return in the 90's trilogy of films. Hands down some of the best kaiju films ever made.
I figured it out! Gamera is the "Hand of Justice." He kills adults because they are corrupt and sinful, while he loves children due to their innocence and purity!
I know how obnoxious this is gonna come off, but I feel compelled to keep people informed. It's not actually supposed to be fire coming from Gamera's mouth, but plasma. The 4th state of matter. Which if I'm not mistaken, can burn under water.

This movie is the movie that introduced me to Night of the Lepus via the bonus trailer section on the DVD I bought, that is why I only watched Gamera vs. Zigra once, because that trailer scared the shit out of me
I'm pretty sure the fight between Batman and Superman is one of the longest uninterrupted one vs one fights in any movie. If you take out other movies that just cut away constantly to other material and remember that BvS stays with the fight pretty much the entire time....you would see it is one of the longer ones. I mean...compare how much ACTUAL FOOTAGE there is of the "Big 3" fighting Thanos, I think it is like 3 minutes at best... and how long Cap actually fights Thanos with Mjolnir....it's like a minute. I think Batman and Superman fight for like 8 or 9 minutes straight.
1:09 The only Gamera movie to get a theatrical release in NA was the original film. Barugon through Monster X went straight to television courtesy of AIP-TV, while Sandy Frank actually released this film in the early 80's straight to television along with re-releasing 4 of the previous 6 Gamera films.
Here’s A Ridiculous Idea That Could’ve Made This Movie Way More Memorable/Appealing; Have Zigras Beam Turn Humans Into Merfolk Slave Labor, then again Budget Problems would’ve made that look stupid too..
When Zigra stands up, it reminded me of a film I had long forgotten about. It reminds me of the monsters in the Doug McClure movie At The Earth's Core. You should review it.
Got a point. People are always talking about Jaws killing beach attendance. If circumstantial evidence is all you require. I would ask you to look at the number of manned trips to the moon before and after Alien was released.
This might be because I'm old, but I know what they mean by "Earth science." It was a term a few decades back for all forms of science specifically related to this planet.

Urrgh.. I've been watching the Gamera-thon in one sitting so far, and I feel like the next one's gonna be that shot you don't need to take after a nite of hard drinking that you THINK is a good idea.
I will give it this- to me at least its kinda neat to see Japense Sea World in all its modernistic glory in the 70s. Thats one thing this movie has that others don't. This is obviously much lower budget then the other actual gamera movies but the live action stuff doesn't feel as stagey.
At 8:03, she is describing the loss of a hotel. The narrator says it is the Trump tower! That is classic! In 2017, there are more than a few people who would like to see the Trump Tower fall!
Hey her disguise was not fan services but genius!Would you live her on the side of the road?And if she started asking for info I would probably tell her just about everything
ok the scene when the kennies and the zigra chick are runnin around the sea world reminds me of my fish nightmares because my fish nightmares include me wandering into museums, pet shops and aquariums having the aquatic creatures staring me down and scaring the crap outta giving me ichthyophobia which is weird consider i shouldn't ever be scared of fish since i like fish cuz they're animals and i love animals sooooo much that i have an obession which has become my infatuation for them and therefore i have found what i wanna do with myself in life become a world famous zoologist, paleontologist, mythologist, conservationist, environmentalist..... and so how is it weird that i have ichthyophobia and melissophobia ( fear of bees ) as well as entomophobia ( fear of bugs ) ( most of the time ) if i ever wanna become any of those things
21:50 I know I'm about 4 years late, and probably make myself seem very stupid, but what is the name of the song that Gamera "plays" on Zigras barbs? I can guess, that it's supposed to be a classic, but I seriously have no idea, but the little I heard of the song sounded very nice.
The most annoying thing about this film is when the little girl keeps telling everyone that she wants a 'COKE'. I am surprised Brandon did not mention it, since he did mention the 'traffic accidents' in the Guiron episode.
Please, for the love of all that is poorly dubbed, put Godzilla vs. Gigan on your to-do list! How can you pass up a movie where Godzilla actually has dialog?!?
So did anyone notice how when Zigra Lady got the tea shirt and skirt, the skirt's length shrunk?? Cause the women she took it from was taller then her and the skirt went down to her knees. but On Zirgra Lady its halfway up her thigh.

It's embarrassing how people like you feel the need of becoming an a**hole to defend a shitty film from a joke like Will Smith assaulting Chris Rock at the Oscars over a joke about his shitty wife. Bunch of Karens.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 I wasn't even "trolling" back when I wrote that comment. In 2016 I still enjoyed the first JW and I just made a little joke in the same way Brandon cracks jokes even when he reviews the Godzilla films he likes.
You guys are SO toxic and obsessive even a fellow fan making a joke is something that in your heads deserves such an aggressive response. Look at yourselves.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92but it’s fun!
This movie is the movie that introduced me to Night of the Lepus via the bonus trailer section on the DVD I bought, that is why I only watched Gamera vs. Zigra once, because that trailer scared the shit out of me
Absolutely LOVE you're reviews. They're so hilarious! I'm also a major MST3K fan.
Man, I remember first watching your Gamera-A-Thon when it was new, good times.
Wow :O
So the fight from Batman v Superman was the second shortest movie fight in history
At least this is what I'm getting from this
I'm pretty sure the fight between Batman and Superman is one of the longest uninterrupted one vs one fights in any movie.
If you take out other movies that just cut away constantly to other material and remember that BvS stays with the fight pretty much the entire time....you would see it is one of the longer ones.
I mean...compare how much ACTUAL FOOTAGE there is of the "Big 3" fighting Thanos, I think it is like 3 minutes at best... and how long Cap actually fights Thanos with Mjolnir....it's like a minute.
I think Batman and Superman fight for like 8 or 9 minutes straight.
The mouth-watering, sensual Zigra Woman. She worked on the depressing drama Uta(1972, Poem).
Unfortunately she died in 2017. 😢
I’d swear that opening moon VO is right out of an episode of ‘X Minus One’… it’s the same voice actor for sure.
looks like an awesome film to me - highly entertaining when in the proper state of mind for such things I'm sure - 🛸👽💚
1:09 The only Gamera movie to get a theatrical release in NA was the original film. Barugon through Monster X went straight to television courtesy of AIP-TV, while Sandy Frank actually released this film in the early 80's straight to television along with re-releasing 4 of the previous 6 Gamera films.
Zigra tries to save the world's oceans from humans and also tries to kill the Kennies...
Yeah he really is the hero
Interestingly a different gamera movie was going to be made called
Gamera vs Wyvern(The Two headed monster) but it was replaced with this movie.
Great review!
Here’s A Ridiculous Idea That Could’ve Made This Movie Way More Memorable/Appealing; Have Zigras Beam Turn Humans Into Merfolk Slave Labor, then again Budget Problems would’ve made that look stupid too..
When Zigra stands up, it reminded me of a film I had long forgotten about. It reminds me of the monsters in the Doug McClure movie At The Earth's Core. You should review it.
Pretty sure he has
@@Maswartz226 He has! It's one of his earlier episodes!
6:23 Why is that girl's dress is so short? Japan Perhaps??
MrImpossiblyBlack yeah, someone who worked on this movie needs to be investigated...
Yep japan
this had to be my favorite gamera review
Got a point. People are always talking about Jaws killing beach attendance. If circumstantial evidence is all you require. I would ask you to look at the number of manned trips to the moon before and after Alien was released.
Exactly. Correlation ≠ Causation.
This might be because I'm old, but I know what they mean by "Earth science." It was a term a few decades back for all forms of science specifically related to this planet.
Kenny: We need to stop Zigra.
Zigra: The planet, the people, or me?
Kenny: Yes!
*Zigra kills Kenny*
@ agreement
@ You're welcome
Zigra: Friggin Smartass.
When the review is more entertaining the the movie it's reviewing
Kaiju movies on Saturday afternoons in the 70s when I was a kid were the best. Gamera are so over the top and violent I couldn't get enough

Brandon, the alien lady said great science not great logic!!;♊🙌
Urrgh.. I've been watching the Gamera-thon in one sitting so far, and I feel like the next one's gonna be that shot you don't need to take after a nite of hard drinking that you THINK is a good idea.
Hey Brandon, Kadokawa claimed your Gamera Super Monster video just like Toho did. Any chance to recover or reupload that video?
I thought Gamera was already in the public domain
15:45 OMG a baiji, rip
The baiji dolphin is extinct now :(
☹️
21:45 Ytp Gamera becomes a Rock star.
Thanks for the heads-up on the Latitude Zero review, I never knew there was one! (Check out Brandon's dailymotion profile, you guys.)
there were some really good lines in this nice work
I have to say that zigra is my favorite gamera kuaju. He has a cool design. Can fly(I think) can walk. And swim, even tho he’s like a shark or fish.
His rebirth design was a approved version of this
I recommend you do a Steven Universe joke with your next Gamera film, because it involves a young boy being tutored by alien women.
Well Kenny did hang out with three alien women.... Like a certain kid with a jewfro...
I never really watched anything Gamera related as a kid....I only watched Godzilla movies
I will give it this- to me at least its kinda neat to see Japense Sea World in all its modernistic glory in the 70s. Thats one thing this movie has that others don't. This is obviously much lower budget then the other actual gamera movies but the live action stuff doesn't feel as stagey.
Fun fact: On the planet Zigra, everything and everyone is called "Zigra." It's just like Marklar on South Park, only stupider.
This movie has me wanting a Coke. Now I gotta find a vending machine.
Quick question.
Are you doing the 90s gamera movies?
To be honest, Zigra having a suspended animation ray actually makes sense. It's obviously how it keeps its food fresh. =p
16:20 Jeez, the device from Invasion of Astro Monster would work better!
Gamera as a metal guitarist... FRIGGIN SWEET!!!!!
At 8:03, she is describing the loss of a hotel. The narrator says it is the Trump tower! That is classic! In 2017, there are more than a few people who would like to see the Trump Tower fall!
Hey her disguise was not fan services but genius!Would you live her on the side of the road?And if she started asking for info I would probably tell her just about everything
ok the scene when the kennies and the zigra chick are runnin around the sea world reminds me of my fish nightmares because my fish nightmares include me wandering into museums, pet shops and aquariums having the aquatic creatures staring me down and scaring the crap outta giving me ichthyophobia which is weird consider i shouldn't ever be scared of fish since i like fish cuz they're animals and i love animals sooooo much that i have an obession which has become my infatuation for them and therefore i have found what i wanna do with myself in life become a world famous zoologist, paleontologist, mythologist, conservationist, environmentalist..... and so how is it weird that i have ichthyophobia and melissophobia ( fear of bees ) as well as entomophobia ( fear of bugs ) ( most of the time ) if i ever wanna become any of those things
09:43. My lord... gasp... circular logic! Oh and by the way, we kinda eat stuff on land, too. See, we've got something in common, space overlord! :P
21:50 I know I'm about 4 years late, and probably make myself seem very stupid, but what is the name of the song that Gamera "plays" on Zigras barbs? I can guess, that it's supposed to be a classic, but I seriously have no idea, but the little I heard of the song sounded very nice.
Nice thumbnail, "Free Ziggy" does seem appropriate!
+Adiraiju Thanks!
It took me two years to see Gamera's legs in the thumbnail
14:15 So that's why I left my cigar...
*That just raises further questions!*
The most annoying thing about this film is when the little girl keeps telling everyone that she wants a 'COKE'. I am surprised Brandon did not mention it, since he did mention the 'traffic accidents' in the Guiron episode.
I remember seeing this on TNT back in the day. The voice of Zegra will forever haunt me.
It's supposed to be 1985 where's Godzilla 1985, he'd take Gamera and Zigra at the same time!!!
i have most of the gamera movies on a collection japanese monster movies set i found a while back.
02:59. Who would've thought shameless product placement would become a thing? Gamera vs Zigra, apparently.
Please, for the love of all that is poorly dubbed, put Godzilla vs. Gigan on your to-do list!
How can you pass up a movie where Godzilla actually has dialog?!?
He's gotta get through Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster first.
Considering that a magnitude 12 earthquake would break the planet, I doubt they reached a magnitude as high as 16.
Most of us came for this 12:22
10:23
that's not a Terry Gilliam character
that's the dude who announces Monty python's flying circus
It's
Their UFO looks like a giant bowl of Crunch Berries.
I was thinking a flying ball pit
Wow and I thought the late 60s early 70s Godzilla films were bad.....
Only Minya and Godzillas revenge were bad. The rest were classics.
What about Godzilla vs. Gigan or Godzilla vs. Megalon?
+Riley Morris Gigan was mediocre, but Megalon was good.
Blunova W\E I liked it.
ゴジラFan98 I don't know Godzilla vs Megalon was pretty bad...
Gamera is in love with the Coco.
So did anyone notice how when Zigra Lady got the tea shirt and skirt, the skirt's length shrunk?? Cause the women she took it from was taller then her and the skirt went down to her knees. but On Zirgra Lady its halfway up her thigh.
😘 😍
