When I was young, this one scared me because of the cutting beam and the blood.
big turtle vs big bat
Gyaos is the Ghidorah of the Gamera franchise.
EDIT: just dawned on me that they all have G’s including the King himself.
I wonder if theres some etymological reason why that happened to be the case, like some part of Japense Mythology that features a monster or demon with a G name or something like that
I always compared him to Rodan, myself.
They did try to make a closer Ghidorah rip-off for Gamera to fight called Wyvern. It was planned after Zigra, but the project was scrapped.
@@DarrellSMoore he's Rodan's little cousin
This is my favorite film of the Showa series. It moves at a nice pace, it has plenty of monster action, and it's well structured. It also has a nice music score, and the Kenny in it is actually tolerable.
Whenever you get a notification from up from the depths you just KNOW it going to be great
It's always nice when these kaiju films manage to give us some likeable human characters along with the monsters :)
Just re-watched the Gamera Trilogy and man, it's pretty damn good.
@NIP Even as a G-fan I have to admit that the Gamera Trilogy is better than most of Godzilla's movies.
This is one of my favorite kaiju films. You can’t go wrong with Showa Gamera if you want something whimsical and fun.
this was the first Gamera film i saw as a kid thought it was amazing
Despite the premise, this film (and some that follow) is surprisingly brutal, even if it's not red blood. I'm not a fan of child centered monster movies, but the monster fights themselves were alright and Gyaos is quite an interesting Kaiju, though he looks kinda funny. Who would've thought that he would eventually become Gamera's arch-nemesis? I give the movie 3,5 out of 5 stars.
Even as a kid, I looked at the Gamera movies as Godzilla knockoffs, but found this one unintentionally hilarious... especially when the helicopter gets cut in two and the scientists inside just nonchalantly jump to their doom.
0:01 when you're going to take a drink and accidently stub your goddamn _TOE_
there was obviously a lego back there.
I remember seeing this movie quite some time ago and I still recall some of it. I also found myself comparing Gyaos to the flying Mutos from the recent zilla films, I believe there is some influences here.
Gyaos didn't show up in any of Zilla's movies though.
I love the first three Gamera movies.
The rest of the Showa era movies, I can only sit through if I'm watching mst3k or elvira or Brandon Tenold. Someone has to be riffing on it, or I just can't.
What about Gamera Vs. Jiger, that was Pretty good?
@@jeremypurtell7268 I'll need to rewatch it. I barely remember it. I've got the Arrow Video box set. I'll rewatch it soon.
After reconsideration/reevaluation, I have new thoughts.
I have overall very mixed feelings about the first three movies.
The first is great on it's own merits but very flawed.
The second, I appreciate the dark somber tone, but the characters and story itself are bland.
The monster is cool.
But a Kaiju with ice powers, weak against water? What?
The third has some good action and violence. And Gyaos is cool and stood the test of time.
But I don't really love 2 and 3 like I originally said.
Which leads me to my thoughts on GAMERA VS JIGER.
I appreciate the slightly more mature tone and style.
I love the visual design for Jiger.
But I don't like the seemingly "throw in everything and see what sticks" approach to the powers.
And the idea of the boys going inside Gamera with a submarine, Fantastic Voyage style, is cool in concept but executed poorly.
Of the Gamera 4-8 movies, it's easily the best.
But it's on par with the first 3.
Thanks for recommending it.
I enjoyed revisiting it.
After you finish the Gamera series, how about a review of ultraman films?
Most of them are TV show tie-ins, not something you can just pick up. I'd say King Kong films or miscellaneous Toho films would be a better idea.
This movie is easily one of the best gamera films during the Showa era.
Is it me or does Gyaos look like the Mutos? Cuz The Gyaos are like the mutos of Gamera.
Yeah Gareth Edwards took some inspiration from gyaos mainly the head
They got similar heads
The Monsterverse sorta takes inspiration from the heisei Gamera trilogy if you think about it.
@@SaurianStudios1207 yeah godzilla is defending the earth not humans just like Gamera from the 90s
It's funny, I haven't seen this one since I was a kid, and I remember them trying the spinning fake-blood trap twice.
I aslo remember the Gyaos costume being way better. LOL.
I'll have to check the Gamera movies out at some point.
The blu ray steelbook for mothra released recently and my copy just reached my house. Im excited to watch it.
mothra was freakin legit. I bet they're kicking themselves for not taking the time to make a ton of standalones first...
The first 3 gamera films are classics in the genre.
Great review. Thanks a lot for doing it.
Aye I’m in the top ten that made it early!
Great vid dude love the content! Keep it up!
Love this film. Great review!!
A classic ❤ loving these Gamera reviews.
Gamera: The Invincible was the next film after Gamera vs. Barugon.
I love this channel with a passion
Fabuloso!!!
Un Fuerte Abrazo 🤗

Gyaos! Prepare to be eaten! Or cut in half. Or blown up. Or crushed. Or whatever diabolical thing Gyaos decides to do too you. By far the most popular Gamera enemy. I can't wait until your review of Gyaos in the Heisei Gamera trilogy. Good job.
Yeah Itchy is better than Kenny from the first Gamera, understandably rooting for Gamera but god damn something about his face and smile annoy me to no end.
AH GAMERA!
I'd say best kids were the ones in Jiger easily.
Definitely. They weren't whiny, they weren't suicidally stupid, and they actually got shit done. And none of them were as annoying as the ones from Gamera vs. Zigra. Actually... none of the children up to that point were as murder-inducingly annoying as the ones from Zigra, but still...
Excellent video man I've been wanting to get into the gamera series but it's kinda hard to in America.
So like you I saw the Gamera trilogy first and then the original series. After seeing this one I can totally see why Gyaos is Gamera's nemesis, though the creature is a bit awkward it still puts up a fantastic fight and despite having some major drawbacks, the sun and it's neck, it is still incredibly lethal and not a pushover.
Best of the original run. Kaiju designs wouldn't completely crap out afterwards (I'll always be fond of Guiron's simple yet effective hunting-knife-with-legs-and-a-face look) but definitely take a turn for the worse (Viras and Jiger have particularly unpleasant designs) and the Kennies--along with Odious Comic Relief adults such as the infamous "Cornjob"--become exponentially excruciating with each entry.
I actually ended up liking this beat out of the Showa era Gamera movies. It’s just a lot of fun, and never feels like it wastes time.
Well to balance out the annoying Kenny of the movie give me a cool monster and gyaos deliver's
"Listen to the wisdom of a child" no...
That's a kenny
Godzilla and Gamera have the most formidable opponents (I give Gamera the edge since his opponents are capable of freezing, poisoning or slicing Gamera's limbs/head).
Its the best Gamera movie of the Showa era IMO.
My favorite gamera movie so far
This is an excellent channel
Great review! Now its all downhill from here where showa Gamera movies are concerned lol
Loved this movie!
I only seen one or maybe two Gamera movies.
I need to watch this series.
Same, actually. I'd only seen a couple of Showa era Gamera films until now. I do have the Mill Creek DVD release from back in 2013 that has all the Showa and Heisei films, so with Up From the Depths reviewing them all, it gave me just the push to watch through them as he did.
@@scaper8 How are you liking them?
Huh this does look like a pretty fun movie! I’m weary of that Kenny though but I’m curious as to why of all monsters the gyaos became gamera nemesis
Simple. Gyaos devoured humans. Attempted to eat a child. In the later films, Gyaos wiped out a civilization.
This was one of my favorite movie's when it comes to 🔥🐢
For kids yes, BUT, watching this as a child, Gyaos actually scared me silly, especially the scene, where he eats up that poor reporter!
That reporter was an ass! Just desserts for Gyaos.
In terms of the battles this was the best of the first three films.
Good point
I've re-watched the Heisei trilogy and felt like watching some Showa Gamera. I got this on right now. I strangely like the scene where a farmer goes crazy and another has others take the man away while snatching his gun. This saner one gets visibly angry and even a little crazy at the two stooges from the construction place being all 'hey it wasn't OUR fault!' 'No you brought bad luck.' Just like how the on taking control from the even crazier farmer with a shotgun seems to be losing it as well.
This Movie Was WAY More Easier to Watch Than The Previous Entry (Gamera vs Barugon).
0:15 “Original Gamer director”
Best gamera movie ever!!!!
my fav showa gamera movie
When are you going to review gamera 2016... oh wait yeah i forgot. Crying inside
:(
we can still dream about what it could have been.
I would love to see you review Gappa the triphibian monster, and the original Yongary monster of the deep
Also the magic serpent movie
This is both one of my favorite and most annoyed Gamera film
Gamera vs. Guiron was my first Gamera movie, and still my personal favorite over Zilla and Kong.
amera! Gamera! Gamera is really neat! Gamera is filled with meat!
Gamera rises
I'm loving these Gamera reviews so far! I have a quick request for when you get to Gamera vs. Jiger. Please, PLEASE don't show the parasite footage the scientists show in their presentation in that movie. I really super don't want to see it. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Well now I'm intrigued.
I used to think Gyaos was Rodan's cousin.
This channel is very different from my own channel but it's nice.
Hopefully we get Gamera vs Godzilla in the monsterverse in the next few years.
Gameraaaaaa!!!!!!!
They don't make them like this anymore and it's kind of a shame.
The kenny here and the ones in Jiger are the least annoying children in the whole series.
Timekeeper cookie vs funny bat cookie
Diiiiiiiddddddd Gamera just give that thing a purple hickie??????!!!!!!!

Personal Rating: ****1/2
Even as small kid watching it, I wanted that kid so badly eaten.
...and I still do.
Oof I love Gamera vs. Barugon even if the fights are a bit lackluster but this was a step down. Annoying kid whose only good scene was when he was trying get rid of the angry villagers by throwing his toys at them. The sets and costums don't look nearly as good as the Barugon parts, lacks the sense of scale as the previous film. The monster fights have more energy to them but I dunno this one always kinda bores me. I do wince when Gamera's arm almost gets cut off and I do like how it sort of sets up a few red herrings in how to stop Gyaos. I figured maybe Gamera would break his neck since he can't turn his head, no maybe he'll die from sunlight...no wait he gets tossed into a volcano.
I like Gamera vs. Jiger a lot more for being better and I like Gurion more for being just crazy.
GAMERA!!!!!!❤😂❤😂❤❤❤❤
Ooh boy it's down hill from here till the trilogy.
Have you found the japanese version?
now which power is weirder: rocket jets inside your retractable legs or gas nipples?
I watch mst3k of this movie I weird not hearing Joel and bots
You know guys it just dawned on me
i still prefer gamera vs barugon
They should have let Causs munch on the annoying chunky kid - he wouldn't have been back for seconds
:-)
I've never been first I'm sorry I had to
Godzilla vs gamera make it now or I will
first lol
RRRRAAQWWWWRRRR
