Fun fact, an earthquake of magnitude 15 is what the seismometers on Alderon measured when it was shot by the Deathstar. An 18 would be 100 times stronger than the force needed to destroy the earth.

[@wugglesx]

If it's a 10x increase per wouldn't it be something like 1000 times stronger than the 15? . . Could be very wrong there the richter scale has always confused me a bit. Reminds me of having a gravler magnitude every random encounter in an old Pokemon game. Just casually throwing out 5-10 scale earthquakes on random caterpillar monsters.

[@marhawkman303]

@@wugglesx IRL the Richter scale doesn't go above 10 since no earthquake ever seen on Earth is that powerful, magnitude 18 would be 8 powers of 10 stronger....

"He hits Gamera with his dreaded Durr Ray". I think I watched that bit a dozen times.

[@FatherofSerpents]

Wait, wait... Did they say it would cause a Magnitude 18 Earthquake? That's insane. When this movie was made they would still have been using the Richter Magnitude scale where a Magnitude 10 Earthquake would be a once a millenium super-quake and each increase of 1 magnitude increases the power by a factor of ten. If the earth is shaking 100000000 times more than a super-quake you only see every thousand years, that's not an earthquake anymore, that's an explosion that makes an atomic bomb look tame. Bits of Japan would be in orbit.

[@ConstantineFurman]

Daiei was actually bankrupt DURING the shooting of "Gamera vs. Zigra", the thing is only the higher-ups knew about it. It's a wonder (and testament to director Yuasa) the picture was even completed at all. "Kenny's" name is "Kenichi" in the original Japanese. "Kenny" is more of Sandy Frank's tomfoolery. The environmental thing was a big deal in 1971. Japan had a HUGE problem with pollution at the time. However, they were able to curtail it and pretty much get it under control. But the opening credits of "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster"? Yeah, that's pretty much how bad it was at the time. The "earth science" refers to stuff we shot into space that somehow managed to make it to Planet Zigra and polluted it. The Japanese version is explicitly said to take place in 1971. Sandy Frank changed it to "1985" in his dubbing to make the movie seem more current when he released it here in 1987. Are you really only just noticing Gamera's bloodshot eyes now? He's had them since way back in "Gamera vs. Gaos." Pictured here, "vs. Viras", which used the same costume as "vs. Gaos.": vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/godzilla/images/b/b2/Gamera_wird_gew%C3%BCrgt.png/revision/latest?cb=20140504122412&path-prefix=de

Fun fact: The Richter-scale is logarythmic. Everything above 10 is already catastrophic for the entire world. (And was never registered, for obvious reasons.) Magnitude 18 would be enough to make half the solar system explode, I wager. It would be ludicrous overkill worthy of a parody.

[@RacinZilla003]

Hopefully I got it right, each point is 10 times more powerful than the last but in terms of an energy release (and hopefully is linear and not exponential) is roughly 31.6 times more than the last. If I had done the calculations correctly then the release of a magnitude 18 is approximately 6.25x10^31 which is slightly less than the amount required to destroy Earth which is 2.3x10^32 I really hope I got this correct ;p

First of all, YOU are the toxic one if a harmless joke makes you so vitriolic.

My theory is that deep down you guys probably KNOW that the JW films suck, but the part of your brains that recognizes that clashes with the immature fanboy side that just wants to defend it at all costs for some reason, and this clashing comes out with you acting like assholes even towards other fans making a joke.

Imagine being SO obsessed with a dumb dinosaur movie, you approach to strangers with this s**t attitude.🤦‍♂ PS: You realize that Brandon very likely has a low opinion on the Jurassic World films too, right?

ok the scene when the kennies and the zigra chick are runnin around the sea world reminds me of my fish nightmares because my fish nightmares include me wandering into museums, pet shops and aquariums having the aquatic creatures staring me down and scaring the crap outta giving me ichthyophobia which is weird consider i shouldn't ever be scared of fish since i like fish cuz they're animals and i love animals sooooo much that i have an obession which has become my infatuation for them and therefore i have found what i wanna do with myself in life become a world famous zoologist, paleontologist, mythologist, conservationist, environmentalist..... and so how is it weird that i have ichthyophobia and melissophobia ( fear of bees ) as well as entomophobia ( fear of bugs ) ( most of the time ) if i ever wanna become any of those things

Considering that a magnitude 12 earthquake would break the planet, I doubt they reached a magnitude as high as 16.

[@MrAlumni72]

Please, for the love of all that is poorly dubbed, put Godzilla vs. Gigan on your to-do list! How can you pass up a movie where Godzilla actually has dialog?!?

[@Scorpionspear77]

He's gotta get through Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster first.

[@turtleguy7101]

Gamera: How the fuck are you standing? Zigra: How about you.

[@nine_tails137]

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean by "Black Sheep"? I've heard this term many times, and still can't find a straight answer?

[@scotthillman9134]

I will give it this- to me at least its kinda neat to see Japense Sea World in all its modernistic glory in the 70s. Thats one thing this movie has that others don't. This is obviously much lower budget then the other actual gamera movies but the live action stuff doesn't feel as stagey.

[@waltertomaszewski1083]

Is this movie on DVD? If so, does it come with the original Japanese dialogue and captions, or a better English dub?

[@ashleyevans9810]

i have most of the gamera movies on a collection japanese monster movies set i found a while back.

[@Hulkzilla0]

Gamera as a metal guitarist... FRIGGIN SWEET!!!!!

[@bradpotts1747]

10:23 that's not a Terry Gilliam character that's the dude who announces Monty python's flying circus

[@grampytinman3481]

It's

[@mailstorminurbox]

Gamera should be renamed “the giant turtle that breaths fire and kenny’s”

[@megalon73]

I could't stop laughing at this clip right here. (14:15) Thanks, Bender!

[@liamroberts812]

awesome vid!!!

[@randybarnett2308]

It's supposed to be 1985 where's Godzilla 1985, he'd take Gamera and Zigra at the same time!!!

[@benjaminwalters2188]

Human asks hey is the word zigra your name, your species, planet,or ship? Zigra answers we are all zigra

[@deadaccount7520]

Got a point. People are always talking about Jaws killing beach attendance. If circumstantial evidence is all you require. I would ask you to look at the number of manned trips to the moon before and after Alien was released.

[@BrowneSound]

Exactly. Correlation ≠ Causation.

[@brettsharbono3022]

I remember seeing this on TNT back in the day. The voice of Zegra will forever haunt me.

[@rnbnatl]

Wait a minute. If Zigra lady was under the mind control of the Zigra shark monster from the plaent Zigra, how did SHE have powers to hypnotize all those other people? And why didn't she just knock out the Kenny / Kendra kids ( no, not that KKK ) and be done with them?

[@Tohofan122]

Wow and I thought the late 60s early 70s Godzilla films were bad.....

[@kaijucifer3544]

Only Minya and Godzillas revenge were bad. The rest were classics.

[@commonwriternext]

What about Godzilla vs. Gigan or Godzilla vs. Megalon?

[@maxcarroll9487]

+Riley Morris Gigan was mediocre, but Megalon was good.

[@maxcarroll9487]

Blunova W\E I liked it.

[@Tohofan122]

ゴジラFan98 I don't know Godzilla vs Megalon was pretty bad...

[@gideonhansen5485]

Their UFO looks like a giant bowl of Crunch Berries.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

I was thinking a flying ball pit
