Gamera Super Monster

[Skyroniter]

You're not dreaming.. you're watching Cinema Insomnia...

Mr Lobo and co-host Miss Mittens take on "Gamera Super Monster." A film Mr Lobo says is made out of 75% recycled material. Gamera must face his foes in a super showdown to save the planet. Luckily, Mr. Lobo has been called in to act as referee. Earth should be fine!?

Your heart will bleed for a little Japanese boy named Itchi and his love for an atomic super-turtle named GAMERA in the sci-fi epic that temporarily killed the franchise...

The greatest giant monster battles from this GAMERA film s prequels are all here! This disco age greatest hits party is strung together with a loose storyline about superhero women from space protecting the earth from space pirates and hosted with even looser segments featuring your favorite cult kaiju emcee MR. LOBO attempting to raise a pet turtle named Puddles.

Every young boys dream--including, owning a reptile, flying, saving the earth, and being man-handled by women in tight super-hero costumes--comes true in this film made under the influence of American blockbusters like STAR WARS and SUPERMAN and the sweeps week TV jiggle of CHARLIE S ANGELS and WONDER WOMAN.

Also, CINEMA INSOMNIA serves up some raw giant monster trailers from other(better) GAMERA films, vintage TV ads, and other pop culture sushi for late night slumber party fun that will have you singing along with the GAMERA fight song Go Gamera Super Go!

I totally stole the description above because all I can say is its hilarious. I've got a man crush on Mr. Lobo. I want you all to buy a Roku 3 and watch it. Though I think episodes can be found streaming free online.

I had never seen Super Monster until I got the complete original Gamera series Blu-Rays a few months ago (btw, really cheap release and pretty good quality so if you have a passing interest in Gamera get 'em!).

It's a strange, strange assemblage of stock footage punctuated with scenes of female wrestlers and a kid playing what sounds like ice cream truck music on a keyboard.

At least when the Godzilla movies used stock footage the scenes still were somewhat cohesive. Daiei was too lazy to even re-edit the footage. lol Gonna have to see how I can stream this. I looked at the Roku 3 and may end up getting it, but it's hard to invest that much when I have a ps3 and BluRay player that can connect to the internet and stream.

i always felt the ending of gamera super monster would never work. there is just no way a turtle weighing 50,000 metric tons flying really fast can cause a star. destroyer to explode into a million pieces.
maybe it would be like darth faders star destroyer in return of the jedi, and come crashing to earth nose first. but never completely explode.
. gamer would of been flattened like a bug on my radiator.
