A retrospective on the Showa Era of Gamera, covering the history and making of the 8 Gamera movies made between 1965 and 1980, tracking the rise of what was at first a Godzilla ripoff, how Gamera became his own unique and beloved kaiju, and how Daiei's collapse compromised the visions of its creators, as well as a ranking of every Showa Gamera movie.
Gamera is really neat!
He is filled with turtle meat!
You'll soon be eating Gamera!
