Silly
It seems like Japan is visited by more monsters and aliens than any other location on earth; a sort of Bermuda triangle of monsters. I have to believe that someone has generated at least one college paper based on the incredible coincidence of monsters and Japan. This time we have three children looking through a low-power telescope when an alien spacecraft lands nearly in their backyard. The obvious choices for the children would seem to be, a) tell their mother, b) call the police, or c) climb aboard the spacecraft and journey to another planet populated by brain-sucking babes. You can guess which answer wins. <
> <
>On the way to the other planet Gamera shows up and, other than breathing nicely and making growly monster noises in the vacuum of outer space, tries to keep the spacecraft from landing on planet Terra (do not be confused with our planet named Terra - I am sure you can see the immediate distinction between names). <
> <
>Once on the planet, Tom and Akio (Akio's little sister had to stay behind because she was too little) immediately encounter Guiron and Gaos. Unfortunately, this early scene generates a huge laugh when Gaos's foot is lasered off. Seriously, this scene is unintentionally funny. The movie continues a downhill slide from here. <
> <
>The boys soon encounter the only two inhabitants of planet Terra, two females hungry for boy brain. The movie never explains why boy brain is a delicacy on Terra. Through a variety of machinations and Gamera, who clearly was preparing for the summer Olympics (in yet another hilarious scene) the boys and Gamera are able to escape back to the earth and the end of this film, thereby ending their movie career. <
> <
>It is usually at this point where I point out the redeeming values of this movie and explain how much you should watch it. The problem is that this movie is a cheesy monster movie with horrible costumes for the monsters. Gamera is too rubbery in some scenes. You can see one of Guiron's seams in one scene. Another problem is that it seems each version of the movie has been edited differently from the other versions, so there are different scenes in each one. I am guessing that someone was trying to keep this movie as oriented to children as possible, and so the edits were done to reduce different aspects of the violence. Sad to say, as bad as this movie is I will probably watch it again one of these days. <
> <
>For those into trivia, according to imdb this movie has been known by a bunch of other titles: <
> <
>"Attack of the Monsters" <
>"Gamera VS the Giant Evil Beast Guiron" <
>"Gamera Vs. Guillon" <
>"Gamera vs. Guiron" <
>"Gamera vs. the Devil-Beast Giron" <
> <
>I am guessing that similar cheese can come in different titles. <

NOT THE SANDY FRANK DUB!
MST3K fans will remember this film in it's horrible glory from the worst English dubbing company ever, Sandy Frank. This however is a different dub made by people who have a firmer grip on the English language. <
> <
>It's still enjoyable for the background music track stayed the same. So your ears will be treated to the same music, but not the same stunted English. <
> <
>I recommend this for someone who's seriously obsessed with the film and desperately needs it on DVD, for say, taking screen grabs, etc.

One of the best of the original series
This movie is really fun to watch, the story is exciting and the monster Guiron is a really cool monster! Nice touch to add the aliens having a different kind of eyes that is used in the movie Gamera vs. Viras.
