Viewing Notes
The least entertaining and most family-oriented of the Gamera films so far.
There are three versions on the disc: theatrical, directors and international. I chose to watch the director’s version. The main difference apparently is in the flashback scene. The theatrical version uses a montage set to music; the director’s version uses footage from all thee prior films; and the international extends that with some additional fight footage from GAMERA VS. GYAOS.
Honestly, the theatrical version is probably the best.
