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.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre. THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO BOB WILKINS, GEORGE ROMERO, ALAN FREED, ROGER CORMAN, HELGA LINE, CAROLINE MUNRO, JOHN FREDRIKSEN, JOHN ZACHERLE, CLEO MOORE , ROSALBA NERI, ERIKA BLANC, FEMI BENUSSI, SHIRLEY CORRIGAN, ROSANNA YANNI, MIRTA MILLER, KARIN DOR, BARBARA BOUCHET, MAMIE VAN DOREN, BARBARA STEELE and, of course, CASEY KASEM.
