Movie Summary  Movie: Gamera:  This is the third Gamera movie I've had to watch for this book project and I am empty. It's the sixth Japanese dubbed film I've had to review and I'm all out of love. Please refer to the other Gamera summaries and figure it out for yourself. Jeez, I'm sorry—I don't know what's come over me. I've just really been under a lot of stress lately. Work is going okay, I guess, but I just ended a relationship and it was pretty painful and I don't know how much longer my car is going to hold out so it's been kinda hard and stuff and then to have to watch this movie. . . anyway. .. Gamera—the name is synonymous with Gamera movies. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Joel is in leg warmers as the cast do their vocal warmups.  Invention:  Joel has the endless salad bar—there's a whole bunch of salad in every bite. In Deep 13, the Mads are in the middle of their spring cleaning, and Frank has a vacuum cleaner that sucks up a birdcage.  Segment 2:  Servo sings a loving tribute titled "Tibby, Oh Tibby" to Tibby the Turtle.  Segment 3:  Crow do that voodoo that he do so well on Joel's Jim Varney doll.  Segment 4:  Servo and Crow visit Gypsy's beauty parlor.

Forrester instructs Frank to give Joel a shock to the shammies.  Stinger:  "Okay, bye," says our puffy little pal. Reflections Check it out: There's a guy in the movie who looks exactly like a Japanese Colonel Sanders! — Mary Jo Pehl In Japan, there is a class of children who are, well, special. They're better than the average citizen. They dwell in a world of wealth, privilege, and influence few adults ever dream of attaining. These are the monster children. The merest, most remote chance encounter with a monster sweeps the child into the inner circle of Japanese military and government security and strategic planning. The child in this movie, Kenny, is immediately listened to and his advice is heeded, his orders carried out to the letter. Whisked along on helicopters, rushed to disaster scenes in motorcades, guarded with the very lives of the elite security forces, the monster child is a treasure to the Japanese matched only by the emperor and his family. Scolded only with his best interests in mind, the monster boy feels free to capriciously break the rules and put others in mortal danger, because he knows that his protectors would rather be crushed to death than let a single hair on the monster boy's head be put out of place. Be it Guiron, Barugon, Megalon, Zigra, Mothra, Gaos, Maus, Gamera, Blacula, Hardrock, Coco, or Joe, one stupid encounter with a rubber creature over ten feet tall ensures the lucky Japanese boy of a life of leisure, glamour, adventure, fame, and great fortune. And they laugh at us. Huh. — Kevin Murphy
