Gamera

[Guest evenflowDDT]

I was rather bothered by the terrible transfer on the new Rodan disc (which I reviewed, peep the Pop Culture section if you haven't read it yet), so I did some research and found that the Region 2 version I was looking so forward to importing didn't have English subtitles. I also found out from this source that Gamera, which has no DVD release (or even any VHS following to my knowledge) at all, is less expensive, and has the English subtitles. It's still a bit too expensive for me, but I found it and some other Gamera movies at an eBay auction. Now, I've never seen any of the Gamera films, so... are they any good? Is it worth checking out? Which is the "best"?

is Gamera the Turtle moster? well if you like campy monster movies check it out, but always rent it 1st. I am sure that all of the mosters in the new Godzilla fighting game have movies of their own out.

Gamera is really neat

He is filled with turtle meat

We are eating Gamera!!!

I have all 3 of the new Gamera films. I haven't watched them in a while, but I believe the second one (Gamera vs Legion) is the best.

 

Most Godzilla movies are better though.

Hmmm... sounds good. I'll give it a few days and if neither of them get bid or stay "within my price range" I'll check out either the original or Gamera vs. Legion (if it has subtitles).
