      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.

    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.

    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.":

      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

      @@prehistorichero2755 (do not attempt to retort "why are you responding to a 2 year-old comment?" when you've responded to what at the time of your response was a FIVE year old comment to pick up a fight. I wasn't notified and I noticed this when I decided to rewatch this video today)
      Anyway.
      "If no, that means you're a toxic hater"
      ... First of all, YOU are the toxic one if a harmless joke makes you so vitriolic.
      And by the way, I even made that joke back when I actually still enjoyed the first Jurassic World, then two years later in 2018 Fallen Kingdom shat the bed and I couldn't defend it anymore (and no, I won't watch any Klayton Fioriti videos because he makes very poor arguments to defend those awful films with bad writing and UNIRONICALLY thinks that explanations outside of a movie fixes all flaws)
      So congrats for antagonizing with a five-year old comment made by a guy who was at the time pro-JW when he wrote it, he was just joking while still liking that dumb film that I've stopped liking after noticing the WAY WORSE flaws than Claire running on heels.
      Aside from the JW movies sucking, passive-aggressive people like you are what made talking to the fans feel like a cult. I'd feel sorry for you guys being so lacking in self-awareness if you weren't so annoying, and the saddest part is that since you AUTOMATICALLY label even a non-malicious joke as "toxic hater" shows how nothing will get into your thick head and you'll continue being an easily triggered, tribalistic fanatic.
      My theory is that deep down you guys probably KNOW that the JW films suck, but the part of your brains that recognizes that clashes with the immature fanboy side that just wants to defend it at all costs for some reason, and this clashing comes out with you acting like assholes even towards other fans making a joke. You literally jumped the gun on 2016!Me making an innocent joke, if you told me that back then, I would've told you to chill the fuck out.
      "NOPE! THAT JOKE WASN'T FUNNY, YOU'RE POTENTIALLY TOXIC AND I AM READY TO FIGHT YOU!" ...See, this is what I meant by the JW fandom feeling like a fucking cult.
      If you have to do your worst, do your worst, I just felt like getting out all I had to say about your type as a former fan. Imagine being SO obsessed with a dumb dinosaur movie, you approach to strangers with this s**t attitude.🤦‍♂
      PS: You realize that Brandon very likely has a low opinion on the Jurassic World films too, right? I wonder if you would've lost your s**t like this and called him a "toxic hater" if he made the heels joke in the video.
      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.

    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.

      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.
