How can you not like Gamera 
? This was pure hilarity again with the flying turtle and children's friend, although the film did sag a bit towards the end. In terms of logic (that interlude scene, for example, with who got to take the fish, wtf :')), this film is put together very poorly by Japanese standards. But on the other hand, enough happens, and the viewer is even treated to a hot Japanese babe in a bikini. 2*

Residents of the planet Zigra come to lecture the population on Earth about the pollution of the water on our planet... and on theirs? Their spaceship transforms into a shark-like monster that becomes twice as large as normal 'due to altered water pressure'. Researchers from Sea World go to investigate (naturally with two small children) and thus become pawns in a dangerous game that could herald the end of our planet. Fortunately, Gamera hears the children's cries and comes to save the world. More rubber suits, weak special effects, and amateur acting in a very cheaply made piece of junk with a rubbish story. But it wouldn't be the last time Gamera would save the world...

A small warning beforehand. The real heroes of the film are the two little Japanese kids who spend the entire movie mostly blasting their entire lung capacity into your ears. Keep the earplugs nearby! We get the most enjoyment out of Gamera, the giant jet-powered turtle. Here, he gets into a fight with an alien deep-sea fish. Our hero Gamera lies upside down in the water for about an hour, but Gamera's revenge will be terrible he uses his opponent as a xylophone. Typical Japanese monster nonsense. A bit below the Godzilla level, but very funny in places. After this film, Gamera wouldn't be heard from again for 9 years.
