MST3k 304 - Gamera vs Barugon

When mining for precious jewels, be sure that the ruby you just found isn't really a critter which will eventually grow up to shoot rainbows at Japanese people. You'd be surprised how often it happens, and how preventable it really is.

Joel's voice of Barugon is one of my favourite things in the whole series. "Enjoy me!"

[@bob2732]

Servo kills with "I never knew a cheese cutter could sound that good"!

My friends and I used to chew that cheap, rock hard Bazooka Joe bubble gum in 1991.

Kind of funny hearing them complain that Gamera was barely in the movie and toward the end there was finally a fight. MST3K were the ones who cut out the first fight between Gamera and Barugon (at the scene Gamera showed up near the rainbow and was subsequently frozen by Barugon) in order to fit the movie into the time slot for the show.

The "science" in these Japanese movies is always hilarious. Apparently, Barugon mutated and grew super-fast because it was exposed to infrared radiation in its egg. Ignoring for the moment that infrared radiation doesn't cause mutations, where does all the extra mass come from? Does it convert energy directly into matter? In that case, it would require an insane amount of energy for it to grow to that size. And it gets better. When the trick with the diamond fails, they deduce that Barugon is now somehow sensitive to infrared because of its earlier exposure, and if they irradiate the diamond with infrared, it will follow it. Except that infrared doesn't make things radioactive. All it does is make them hot.

Expected more adorable moppets stealing flying saucers. Got Zack Snyder's Gamera.

Zack Snyder Directing a Gamera movie or a Godzilla movie would GO HARD

Welcome back! I don’t have a single account or email from 2006 still active, so I’m surprised (but glad) you’ve returned when the world needed you most.

I consider Gamera vs Barugon(Also known as War of the Monsters) to be One of the Best Japanese Movies Ever Made.

[@othertalk3313]

1:24:30 Soldier: "Wouldn't it be better to wait until night, so we can see the rainbow?" Doctor: "I agree, we'll wait... our miniatures and special effects will also look much better while mostly obscured by darkness. And why am I in charge of a military operation, anyway? Don't you have dentists to handle this?!?"

[@FishinChickin]

If Gypsy had only been obsessed with Richard Widmark instead of Richard Baseheart, her character would have been so much more interesting.

[@LukeAps]

THERES MORE GAMERA!

better than cartoons. thanks for the extras it really helps

[@josephwinborne3620]

Oh, I'm happy finding this.

[@astrocitizen]

1:30:30 -- doesn't that mean there's a lake full of big ass diamonds at the bottom on her island?

[@bancoran]

And where do they keep the technology that not only polishes but precisely cuts gem facets perfectly? What, is there a bamboo rock tumbler somewhere on the island?

[@supyrow]

Watched the whole thing. Love it

[@alanbear6505]

1:20:40. Apparently Servo’s head doubles as a crystal ball?

[@gorflunk]

Wouldn't be right if it wasn't from a VCR.

[@StoneColdSergio]

Amen

[@Nosregni]

So if Barugon is destroyed by water, how did he survive the ship sinking near the start???

[@mlpfanboy1701]

Maybe it has to be fresh water. Then again that would not explain how he never got off the island.

[@SeanP7195]

1:20:38. Ohhh you have no idea.

55:48 no, that would be Jiger

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

I saw almost every episode of this show and one thing I had always wondered about is who came up with this show that looks like a spin off of Svengoolie.

[@Sys-Edit0r-1995]

When I found out about Svengoolie I thought it was going to be like MST3K!
