Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: GAMERA VS. GUIRON

[@zanizone3617]

Out of curiosity I looked up the American mom, Edith Hanson. She was 30 at the time of the movie and she is still alive. She was a college dropout from Oklahoma, went to Japan to visit her brother, not speaking a word of Japanese. She taught herself the language, had a great career as a television host and journalist and never left. She saw an opportunity and grabbed it. A quite extraordinary woman.

[@jaymartin8273]

Neat :=)

[@raymondhamill6702]

You know you learn something new everyday, and good for her she took a gamble and made it, that's something we all should try to do once in our life.

"Out of curiosity" = because she was hot

[@rexstocephirxiii4263]

Doubly impressive, overcoming the Japanese bias against outsiders is no small feat.

[@Tarbtano]

That is legitimately pretty awesome!

[@johnrau2265]

I think Guiron laughing after slicing Gaus' head off was a way of saying, " Heal THAT, I dare you!".

[@matteomastrodomenico1231]

The american title still makes sense at least. They titled the movie "King Kong vs Godzilla" here in Italy.

[@vitorafmonteiro]

Of course it was. I'm not being sarcastic, almost all monster films in Italy or Germany tended to be title with Godzilla, King Kong or Frankenstein as Brandon commented many times, and some posters even replaced the real monsters with King Kong.

[@ethanmaturin5860]

@@coneheadzigity they did that because they thought that more people would pay to see it since king kong godzilla and frankenstein were very popular heck troll 2 wasn't even a sequel it was actually a italian made movie and that explains why the acting was enjoyably bad since it wasn't the actors native language and for some reason the movie was called troll 2

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

More like Super Robot in general.

[@michaelccozens]

I'm sure that's consciously true, but, if they're at all familiar with kaiju (and how could they not be, in that job?), they may have seen Guiron and not remembered that they had. Happens a lot. Not that there's necessarily theft involved in "What would make a cool creature? A knife for a head". Seems like the kind of thing you'd come-up with pretty quickly. Nature sure did (rhinos/elephants/birds/various beetles/etc.).

[@michaelccozens]

"Star" in Japanese is "Hoshi" and "Planet" in Japanese is "Wakusei", unless I'm missing something somewhere.

[@Tareltonlives]

I believe the confusion is a holdover from older generations.

[@chusganzerla14]

Yep, you're right. The kanji for star is "星" (Hoshi OR Sei)...planet is "惑星" (Wakusei), wich literally means wander star.

[@kimjongoof5000]

Michael Regan Well, in Chinese, planet literally translates to “star ball” (星球). Not sure if it’s the case for Japanese

[@michaelccozens]

@@kimjongoof5000 IIRC, wasn't a lot of Japanese originally cribbed from Chinese/Mandarin? I'm gonna assume that's probably not something the Japanese like to be reminded of, given the international history/current political climate.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

European languages also called planets "stars" while stars where called "fixed stars". This was because stars rotated around the polar star, like they where fixed on a rotating sky dome, while planets moved around more freely. Without a telescope, it was not possible to tell planets where, what we understand as, planets and not a special type of star. So it might have been similar with Japanese.

[@jonathankozenko]

I actually liked this one considerably more than Viras, for while the Kenny’s are just as annoying, they aren’t also smug boy-geniuses like the last two. This one also gets to the point quicker

[@kevinr.3542]

This is probably the most entertaining and watchable of the original Gameras in my opinion. The kid actors at least have SOME acting abilities and it moves along nicely

[@jonathankozenko]

@@kevinr.3542 I'll mostly agree, in that I'd say it's the most entertaining and watchable non-Kenny entry; the second one, which didn't have a Kenny, might get my vote for the best, that being a central facet.

+Jimera0 We never see Akio's dad in this movie; I wonder if he died in a traffic accident. Seriously, it would explain why Akio is so obsessed with them.

Not to sound racist, but traffic accidents usually kill off most characters in Japanese media. Whether or not that's a statistic in real life, I dare you to see how many animes, movies, books, etc., a character dies due to a car accident.

Honestly, whenever the "if they could discover interstellar travel, they have to be peaceful!" argument comes up, I need to fight the urge to insert a clip of KLINGONS. :D

[@VunderGuy]

To be fair though, if you have interstellar travel... why would you even need to invade lesser developed inhabited planets when in terms of raw materials there are literally asteroids with bajillions of tons of raw materials that, while rare and pricey on earth (mostly because of artificial price manipulation, but whatevs) are super abundant elsewhere. The asteroid belt alone, just 4% of the moon's mass about is is 2,390,000,000,000,000,000 metric tons of free floating rock free for the taking. Even considering over 75% of that mass are carbonaceous asteroids... that's still more than enough metal to completely eclipse what we have easily accessible here on earth by several orders of magnitude.

[@jaymartin8273]

Don't forget the Romulans :=)

[@michaelccozens]

Sure, but then there's the point that the Klingons (at least the warrior-culture TNG ones) don't make any fucking sense. This even gets parodied in that one episode where they have the Klingon scientist and they're barely functional from being abused by jock dickheads their whole lives.

[@michaelccozens]

@@VunderGuy True, although there may be difficulties in zero-g mining v. the normal grav sort, but surely not enough to offset the added task of invading a planet. A more likely motivation would be seizing habitable living space roughly matching the evolutionary environment of the creature in question within a self-renewing ecosystem. That stuff's hard to manufacture, and gaining nearly a planet's-worth would be quite the coup. As we already say, they're not making any more real estate (in substantial amounts, anyway). Re artificial price manipulation, I assume you might be referring to DeBeer's famous "diamond engagement ring" scam? Those guys are dicks.

Brandon, nowadays traffic accidents might not be as deadly, but its still quite a big number , 2,118 deaths in Canada alone in 2016. I googled for how trafic was in japan during the 60's: " during the 1960s, the annual number of people killed on the roads in Japan exceeded the annual number killed in First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. For this reason, 1960s Japan referred to its road fatalities problem as the “Traffic War"" (japanallover.com) so yeah, Kenny is just smart. :P

I think Kendra was saying "Kon-chan" in the Sandy Frank dub. And while that was a nice little addition of normal Japanese speak, if she doesn't view Kondo as an authority figure and more as a peer (which isn't hard to picture due to how hard he is to take seriously), then she should say "Kon-nii". Which apparently doesn't strictly pertain to actual older siblings, but rather any male that is older, but not quite an adult....God, I'm such an otaku.

Interesting explanation

[@Captainzerby21]

I think I was at my most confused when Gamera was teabagging Guiron

[@johnfic4751]

I love this movie. It's a fun Japanese monster movie.

I can relate. Ever pull and prepare everything you could want on a sandwich from the fridge only to realize you don't have bread? Then you remember your neighbor has bread because you were partying at his place the night before and saw it. But he's at work, and you're also still tripping from the acid you all did. But, ah ha! His brother stayed the night! He'll be there with the bread. I somehow find the door. Alas, the stairs... the stairs and the blasted stairwell.... It takes half an hour but you beat them and find your neighbor's door. Arnold, get your fat ass up! Tim! You want some shrooms and an omelet? ... Fuck the sandwich.

Brandon: the japanese language has, as English, the respective words for planet and star. 惑星(spell: "wakusei") which means planet and 星 (spell: "hoshi") which is for star. In the case of the movie I guess it was a mistake or malinterpretation by the translator(s).

[@chusganzerla14]

Yep, wakusei literally means "wander star".

The cop sounds like the kinda guy who gets old and yells at people to get out of his yard

Fun fact: This was my first kaiju movie. I regret everything.

This is actually the first and only Gamera movie that I've seen. A friend told me they were showing a Godzilla movie for free at an old theater we frequent and I went along expecting Godzilla to tear some shit up. Instead I got....Kenny's! Oh well got some good laughs out of it at least.
