“Gamera vs. Viras” was to be the final film in the series but its success in the box office spurred Daiei Film to ask Noriaki Yuasa to continue the series with the main focus being children. The budget was to be the same as the previous installment, a paltry 20 million yen (more than a few times smaller than that of the original “Gojira”), and the shooting schedule was again a few weeks. The movie premiered in March 1969 and was, again, a huge success, earning more money than Toho’s “All Monsters Attack.”

The second DVD featuring some Gamera rumbles this week from Shout! Factory is a fun duo of films, dealing with a kaiju knife fight and some World’s Fair action. And we get a shoddy return of a villain in such a way that itwill draw a giggle or two. Many people say this was the beginning of the end for the franchise, but I’m a bit of an optimist when it comes to these films.
Gamera Vs. Guiron is an interesting film from 1969. It has one of my favorite baddie movie monsters of all time (Guiron) and has one of my favorite kill scenes as well.
