History Film / GameraSuperMonster

''Gamera Super Monster'' is the last of the Showa Gamera movies, and is infamous for relying ''heavily'' on footage from not only the previous films, but other films like Galaxy Express 999 and Star Blazers. The plot concerns war-loving aliens from the distant planet Zanon invading the earth with an army of monsters (Gamera's previous opponents). To wipe out a trio of peaceful alien women living in secret amongst humanity, Zanon sends down their own alien babe to exterminate them. When young Keiichi explains to the three spacewomen about the legendary Gamera, they press him into action as earth's last chance against Xanon and their destructive monsters.

* ShesGotLegs: Giruge. And she KNOWS how to use them.

* RecycledScript: One of the main characters is [[Film/GameraVsGyaos Keiichi]], [[{{Film/GiantMonsterGamera}} a boy obsessed with turtles who is forced to get rid of his pet turtle, and believes it is Gamera.]] [[Film/GameraVsGuiron A evil space woman]] [[Film/GameraVsZigra is sent to kill our heroes]] [[Film/GameraVsViras and brainwashes Gamera.]] And that's not even counting the StockFootage.

* HeroicSacrifice: Gamera rams himself into the "Star Destroyer" at the end.
** Originally Gamera lived in the script, but when director Noriaki Yuasa saw the terrible cost-cutting measures Tokuma Publishing was taking on the film, he realized Gamera would never come back from the film, so he and writer Niisan Takahashi decided to kill him off. This is why everyone is still happy at the end: only rudimentary changes were made to the script's ending.

* StockFootage: Hoo boy. Nearly half of the film is this, and when it's not footage from previous films, it's footage from anime like ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato''.
* TakeThat[=/=]WritingAroundTrademarks: During Gamera's BrainwashedAndCrazy attack on a city, he destroys a billboard advertising "[[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Dogzilla]]".

* AmazonianBeauty: The leader of the three alien heroines was played by former wrestling champion Mach Fumiake.

* {{Expy}}: To put it lightly, the ship the antagonist uses looks a ''lot'' like a [[StarWars Star Destroyer]].

* NegativeContinuity: Stock footage aside, the plot doesn't appear to connect to any of the previous films. Gamera is initially considered fictional in-universe, and it's implied that Keiichi's pet turtle becomes Gamera in this film.
** That's not exactly true; this was Noriaki Yuasa's way of giving a TakeThat to the many many children who actually thought their pet turtles would turn into Gamera back when the original film came out in 1965 (yes, they really thought that). Basically, Keiichi, being a Gamera-obsessed young boy, is a mild CreepyChild and nothing more. When Gamera is under the control of Zanon midway through the film, it is noted that the military is shocked Gamera has FaceHeelTurn ed.

* TakeThat: During Gamera's BrainwashedAndCrazy attack on a city, he destroys a billboard advertising {{Godzilla}}.
** It is a TakeThat, but it isn't Godzilla the poster is advertising. The poster reads "Saraba, Dojira" which COULD be translated as "Farewell, Dogzilla."
* TooCooltoLive: Gamera. And perhaps Giruge.

''Stock Footage: The Movie!'' Ahem, Gamera Super Monster is the last of the Showa Gamera movies, and also the least creative, seeing as how it steals footage and ideas from just about ''everything'', including Star Wars, Galaxy Express 999 (I know what you're thinking, and I still haven't figured out how they avoided getting sued), and the previous Gamera movies. At least the space women were hot.
