GAMERA VS. BARUGON (SHOUT FACTORY)

This is the second in a long line of Gamera films and this time it is in color and scope. It seems that the rocket that had Gamera in it and was headed towards Mars hit a meteor and freed the giant turtle to come back to earth. In the meantime you have explorers who find a rare Opal which grows into Barugon, a rather bizarre monster with a freezing tongue and a destructive rainbow it shoots out of it's back. The two monsters fight for domination with some pretty cool effects.
This movie runs 101 minutes which is long for a film of this kind, but I recommend it no matter what. It looks better than it ever has and we owe a lot to Shout factory for finally giving this film the treatment it deserves.
