	Gamera
		Gamera returned to Earth shortly afterwards, attacking a hydro-electric dam to feed off the energy; however, this time round he was a saviour of sorts, battling the monster Barugon which was rampaging through Japan (the brightness and heat of Barugon's rainbow beam attracted him).
		Gamera awoke to battle the three new Gyaosu but, due to the damage caused when he first arrived, the JSDF viewed him as a greater threat than the Gyaosu and fired on him.
		Gamera engaged the Legion queen while the JSDF took out the swarm; nothing he did could penetrate Legion's forcefield and after taking heavy damage, he was forced to absorb a great deal of mana and redirect it into a beam, vapourising Legion.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Giant Monster Gamera
		Gamera is a pretty interesting monster, especially once we find out he can fly by pulling in his arms and legs and expelling fire out of the holes in his shell.
		Gamera fans will be happy to hear that the first Gamera film is available in not one but two forms from Neptune Media.
		Gamera is the only serious competitor to Godzilla for dominance of the world of giant monsters because, similar to Godzilla (1954), the original film has stood the test of time in its originality and its entertainment value.

	[KFCC] Gamera : Guardian of the Universe Review
		The question for many is whether Gamera is there to protect or to destroy, and as he becomes connected to a beautiful young girl through a pendant, there's now more than just his life on the line.
		Gamera looks great in this movie, and in comparison to the rest of the trilogy, this is probably his most basic design harkening back to his original look.
		Gamera appears as a mysterious floating atoll is uncovered by a group of military seafarers.

	Classic Sci-Fi Reviews: Gamera
		Gamera is also the turtle-of-the-cosmos and owes something to mythologies that state that the whole world rests upon the back of a huge tortoise.
		Gamera is no run-of-the-mill Tokyo nemesis, but a character with some claim to complexity.
		Gamera is a more hopeful metaphor than destructor-cum-protector Godzilla, and Daiei's challenger to Toho eventually develops a distinct personality.

		But with the combined love and energy of Asagi and her father, Gamera rises from the flames, and destroys Gyaos in a western type shoot out of monstrous proportions.

	Gamerz-Edge Gamera Complete DVD Collection Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera is discovered floating in his shell in the Pacific Ocean, and at the exact same time (Convenient isn’t it?) the Evil Gyaos reptile birds hatch from their eggs and proceed to devour an entire island.
		Gamera: Guardian of the Universe delivers with the explosions and well, in the end Gamera 1, Gyaos 0, and the City of Tokyo is reduced to ashes, including the famous Tokyo tower, Japan 0.
		Gamera in some respects is as good as Godzilla if not better, with new updated effects, a modern cast and a modern story line, Gamera is leading the way for the new Daikaiju films.

	s h o t g u n r e v i e w s (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This new Gamera, however, is not the product of radiation and post-war paranoia, instead, Gamera is, as the title suggests, Guardian of The Universe, an ancient, genetically engineered relic of the lost continent of Atlantis hidden away at the bottom of the sea to defend the world from an unknown evil.
		This new custom-built Gamera is tougher, stronger and more lovable than ever, but like all great foam-latex heroes, this Gamera has to have a vulcanized villain to fight.
		In Gamera, the rubber suits are a little more detailed, the scale miniatures are a bit more realistic, but in the end, you've still basically got guys in rubber suits stomping on toy cars.

	GojiStomp Kaiju Statistics: Gamera (Showa Series)
		Gamera is a giant turtle who had been hibernating in an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean for many years.
		The Japanese Self-Defense force decided to rid of Gamera from the world by the 'Z-Plan.' The 'Z-Plan' consisted of attracting Gamera, with a trail of fire, to load him onto a giant rocket cage and shoot him into space, which proved successful.
		Gamera met up with Barugon, but was frozen by Barugon's freezing tongue ray.

	Gamera daikaijû kuchu kessen (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		American critics who praised this film's "ground-breaking" special effects apparently hadn't been watching too many contemporary Godzilla movies; though there are a few revolutionary shots here, for the most part, the production values are merely equal to (or actually lower than) the 1990s Toho films.
		Sure, Gamera's fireballs are CGI, but he hardly ever uses them; besides, they don't quite compensate for the risible "takeoff" sequences and the silly puppet Gyaos.
		Godzilla, at his best, is a symbol of the atom bomb and the horrors of World War II, whereas Gamera is merely a flying, whirling shell.

	kanegon.com presents: Gamera Catcher Toys
		A number of Gamera films were produced in the 1960's, and three new films have been produced since the mid-1990's, each one better than the last.
		Gamera is a giant turtle, and I believe the earlier movies were produced for a younger audience, but the recent films have been quite violent and great fun.
		There were 3 in the set, including Gamera (identical to the standing Gamera from the first set, but with green skin instead of brown), Gyaos and Legion, the villain from the Gamera 2 film.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
		Gamera stuns everyone by taking flight in a sequence that must be seen to be believed.
		It turns out that the tablet found on Gamera (in his atoll form) tells the story of an ancient civilization that was destroyed by the meat-eating birds, called Gyaos.
		Gamera was created by the same civilization to destroy the threat of Gyaos.

	Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)
		At the time Gamera was "the friend to children" and his films, though entertaining and fun, were largely considered to be inferior to the Toho series of Kaiju Eiga (giant monster films).
		The man given the responsibility of transforming Gamera from a low-budget children's monster into a serious contender fell to director Shusuke Kaneko, whose earlier work consisted of several successful horror films and comedies.
		Gamera's intentions to save modern day Japan from the birds are misinterpreted by the Self Defense Force and they attempt to kill him.

	DVD Verdict Review - Gamera Limited Edition Box Set
		Gamera: Guardian of the Universe has been out for some time (it was released in Japan in 1995, arriving on DVD here in the U.S. last year), and Judge Pinsky did a thorough job summing it up in his original review from last year.
		(Gamera also gets a set of flipper wings, so he no longer has to use his wildly unstable flying saucer method of propulsion.) Presumably the producers were given a bigger budget to work with after the success of the initial Gamera revival film, and spent it well.
		Gamera may not be as good a friend to children as he used to be, but he's a much better friend to fans of the kaiju genre now.

		Gamera 1 is a what-if-giant-monsters-existed story, Gamera 2 focuses on the war aspect of giant monsters, and Gamera 3 concerns itself with the psychological effect such monsters could have on people involved in their
		The 90's Gamera Trilogy is regarded as the final word on kaiju eiga, so fasten your seatbelts because these are not your father's giant, rocket-powered, flying turtle flicks.
		Gamera puts the unhinged, anything-goes, apocalyptic sense of mischief that characterized kaiju eiga in the 60's into a particle accelerator with Hollywood special effects know-how and sets the whole mad machine humming with the a pent-up power that can tear apart the base elements of our universe and suck out the yummy, frissionable bits.

	Digital Monster Island - Gamera (Region 2) DVD Review
		Gamera is less considerate towards the residents of Tokyo, however, when he attacks the city.
		Gamera’s affinity for fire is used to lure him to an island, where the ambitious Z-Plan is being prepared to rid the world of the monster.
		Gamera is a solid monster film that paved the way for a long-running series of enjoyable movies.

	Amazon.com: Gamera: DVD: Gamera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The new Gamera pictures carry on the idea that Gamera is here to protect earth, but the story lines are very mature compared to the original films, and the special effects are, at times, amazing.
		Oldschool Gamera is definitely classic kaiju, it just tends to have some of the worst aspects of kaiju built into its roots: annoying little kids, illogical stories, bad set designs, and plots that seem just a skeleton to justify monster fights.
		Gamera 3 is one of the best if not the best Kaiju movie I've seen and it beats the latest 'G' movies which are also very good but G3 is the best one I watched.

	metamovie.de - Gamera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This would seem to indicate a sound commercial success; yet, in the Western world Gamera never enjoyed the popularity of Godzilla, a situation which has improved just a bit with the well-received releases of new Gamera movies, starting in 1995.
		Indeed, the basic plots for Godzilla and Gamera movies are often interchangeable (with Gamera usually fighting its foe, loosing, retreating to the bottom of the sea and recuperating before winning the final battle).
		However, without discussing the merits of individual movies featuring G or G, we can safely surmise that a giant reptile (dragon) destroying Tokyo or saving the Earth is less bizarre a concept than a giant flying turtle doing the same thing, especially when it's established that the turtle loves children.

	DVD: Gamera: Attack of Legion (ADV Films) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The print used for the transfer, though, is all put devoid of scratches; furthermore, its the Japanese version of the film, not one which ADV tampered with, which means no ugly fl boxs with green English text inside to cover Japanese text found in the film and the original Japanese title sequence is present.
		ADV went the extra step, however, by adding "Outtakes" and a short called 'Lake Texarkana Gamera.' Now first off, before anyone gets their hopes up, these "outtakes" are actually, intentional, "dubbing outtakes" that poke fun at some of the lines and situations in the film.
		To end on a high note, ADV seems to have fixed the problem with Gamera: Guardian of the Universe's measly number of chapters by tripling the number to 24 for Gamera: Attack of Legion.

	Digital Monster Island - Gamera 3: Revenge Of Iris DVD Review
		Except for the “Outtakes,” “commentary by Gamera,” and some of the ADV trailers, the extras are presented in Japanese with optional English subtitles.
		The main topics covered are the depiction of human death in the Gamera films, the extensive “destruction of Shibuya” sequence, and integrating the human story with the monster plot.
		There is an appearance by Gamera himself (via a promotional suit), and the cast and crew sign autographs for the fans after the show.

		In 1995, he made his triumphant return with Gamera Daikaiju Kuchu Kessen (Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe) which featured slick new special effects, a smart script by Kazunori Ito, and sharp direction by Shusuke Kaneko.

		This is kind of strange, because Gamera is obviously out to kill the Gaos and he saves Nagamine and Sailor Guy from one of the creatures (getting wounded by Gaos Laser-breath) in front of a bunch of people.
		Gaos tries to kill Gamera but Asagi uses her link to tell Gamera to fly away before he's destroyed.
		Gamera fresh from licking his wounds returns for the final battle which smashes what's left of Tokyo.

	Daikaijû Gamera (1965) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This is especially true since Toho not only released the Godzilla series, but also had the one of the greatest directors of all time in Akira Kurosawa in their stable.
		The only way that this film differs from Godzilla is the fact that Daei didn't kill Gamera in the end and intentionally left it open that their would be a sequel (or sequels) made in the future.
		The main flaw with this film as well as the entire series is the fact that the special effects were done even more cheaply than the films in the Godzilla series and Gamera was never seen as anything more than a Godzilla rip-off.
