The Great MM · #1 December 10th, 2003, 08:59 PM

Oh boy, I'm losing my mind for watching this! AHHH, what do you guys and gals think of it, personally, I'm only watching it because of my anual Xmas-New Years Monster Movie Thon.

I personally like it, I like all the Gamera and Godzilla movies, they all have something to like about it.

I liked Attack of the Monsters. It was a pretty good film.

C-R-V · #4 December 30th, 2003, 05:59 PM

<font color='#000F22'>I also really enjoy it, It was a heak of alot better than Destroy All Planets IMO.

This, Gamera vs. Viras, and Gamera vs. Jiger are my favorite Gamera films.

I remember when I 1st saw this film, & I was actually a little disturbed by the absolutely surreal scene of Guiron hacking Space Gyaos to pieces!  

 I thought these were children's movies!

But it was funny!

I love this movie, Gurion is a very cool monster...

Alien-G · #9 January 18th, 2004, 02:53 PM

it doesn't show Gyaos being hacked to peices in my Retromedia copy, the DVD that contains Attack of the Monsters and Destroy All Planets

Halomek · #10 January 18th, 2004, 09:25 PM

The scene of the Space Gyaos being hacked to pieces was taken out in some releases because it was deemed too violent for the kid-friendly Gamera movies. It's a shame because it's probably the best part of the movie, IMHO.

Alien-G · #11 January 19th, 2004, 10:12 PM

anyone have the full clip of the Gyaos slaughter scence, or know where I can find one?

The Great MM · #12 January 19th, 2004, 11:34 PM

yea, on my VHS version, is nothing big, just shows Guiron slice his head off and stuff.

Halomek · #13 January 19th, 2004, 11:52 PM

If you have cable, the copy that AMC plays includes the Gyaos slaughter. I don't know when AMC plans to air it again, but there you go.

ShogunWarrior1015 · #14 January 22nd, 2004, 03:11 PM

Guiron is a pretty cool beast...wish there had been more of him in it, but this is still one of the better Showa Gamera movies...

This was the only Gamera Showa filim I ever fully finished. Though its mental, its better than Zigra and Barugon. (Though those movies made me fall asleep and I never finished them)

Mattzilla555666 · #17 February 3rd, 2004, 04:07 PM

I have a question. Is it just me or the new DVD realease of Gamerea vs Guiron not have when Guiron slices the Space Gyaos. Because when a taped it of a AMC back in 2001 it had the part. Is this true.

baragon123 · #18 February 3rd, 2004, 04:56 PM

When A.I.P realesed Gamera Vs Guiron they released it as Attack of the Monsters.That version had it cut out because they thought it was 2 violent at the time.

Mattzilla555666 · #19 February 4th, 2004, 07:34 AM

Does that mean the dub was different to

monsterslayers · #20 February 4th, 2004, 01:13 PM

No, they're the same dub. However, the scene was intact in the Sandy Frank VHS of the early 1980's. Currently avaliable on LaserDisc.

Yes it does. AIP's ATTACK OF THE MONSTERS and Sandy Frank's GAMERA VS GUIRON have completely different dubbing. The Sandy Frank dub is absolutely terrible.

A few years back Neptune Media released a gorgeous, uncut widescreen version of the AIP version on VHS under the new title GAMERA VS GUILLON.

Roehm · #22 February 9th, 2004, 06:15 PM

I thought the movie was really funny. Like when Gamera did that flip, it look so bad but it was funny as hell. Also when Guiron shot the little star things from the side of his head, and it hit Gamera and he did is little dance. That was funny.

kent · #23 February 21st, 2004, 02:09 AM

I personally think the Showa Gamera series is very laughable. Although like one member said above, each movie has something to like about it. The kid scenes do get annoying after a while and so does the singing.
Gamera Vs. Guiron wasn't too bad. I felt it was one of the better ones of the Showa series.

Rodan, Messenger of the Skies · #24 April 19th, 2004, 11:29 PM

I just got the Alpha Video copy and I'm wondering if it was worth $5.99 plus tax.

The only saving grace was the kaiju fights.

Kappa the water imp · #25 April 20th, 2004, 01:40 PM

It looks kinda rubbish, Gamera vs Gaos now thats a film I wish to see.
