History Film / GameraVsBarugon

* CompleteMonster: Onodera. While his exposing Barugon's egg to infrared rays was actually an accident, he still earns the title in many other ways. Let's count those ways, shall we?
** He fires a revolver at the New Guinea villagers, for no real reason.
** After Kawakiri and Keisuke risk their lives to save him from quicksand, he backstabs them by letting a scorpion sting Kawajiri and then blows up the cave while Keisuke is still in it.
** He beats up a crippled man (Ichiro Hirata, Keisuke's brother) and his wife, and not onyl steals their money, but also sets their house on fire, while they're trapped and unable to move.
** He then tries to steal a diamond that is necessary for the military to defeat Barugon.
** [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking He probably ends up giving Barugon indegestion]].

* CompleteMonster: Arguably Onodera. While his exposing Barugon's egg to infrared rays was actually an accident, he still earns the title in many other ways. Let's count those ways, shall we?

Unfortunately, when they arrive, it is too late. While arriving in Kobe, Onodera accidentally left the egg exposed to the ultraviolet rays of a heat lamp that he was using to treat his athelete's foot. The egg hatches and Barugon, having been exposed to the heat lamp, grows abnormally fast and large, destroying the ship. After swimming to shore with the rest of the ship's crew, Onodera meets up with Ichiro Hirata and informs him that Kawajiri and Keisuke both died when they fell off a cliff, and that the opal sank with the ship. Soon, Barugon, now fully grown, has left the water and besieges the Kobe docks. Onodera and Ichiro flee to Osaka while Barugon destroys the city of Kobe.

The main plot of the film, however, is that of a hunt for an opal in New Guinea. Four men, two of whom are brothers, are planning to find an opal that the odler brother left hidden in a cave on NewGuinea during the war. If they find the opal and bring it back, then they will all be rich. The older brother, Ichiro Hirata, however, has become handi-capped since the war, and he has his brother Keisuke Hirata (played by Kojiro Hongo) go in his stead. the other two men are Onodera, a scheming club owner, and Kawajiri, a family man who wants to retire early. After arriving in New Guinea, the three men arrive at a village where they meet a Japanese doctor, named Matsushita, who tells them not to go into the Valley of Rainbows, where the cave housing the opal is located. The three men ignore his warnings, and continue on their trek. On the way, Onodera falls victim to quicksand but is saved by Kawajiri and Keisuke. Upon arriving at the cave, the three men search for the opal, and soon find it hidden in a dilapidated bag. However, while celebrating their newfound wealth, Kawajiri is stung by a scorpion and dies. Onodera then takes the opal and betrays Keisuke, blowing up the cave with dynamite.

* BigBudgetBeefUp: This film was produced as an A-List picture, and it was given the budget of one to boot.

Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the original Gamera films, and this tne can be seen in many things, especiall the mean-looking Gamera suit that was constructed for this film.

At Ichiro's home in Osaka, while trying to convince Ichiro to hire divers to look to look for the opal, Onodera accidentally lets it slip that he killed Keisuke and Kawajiri (he saw the scorpion on Kawajiri's leg, but he kept his mouth shut). Enraged, Ichiro triese to kill Onodera, who beats both him and his wife before stealing Ichiro's money and then setting their house on fire while he leaves the city before Barugon arrives. At this time, Keisuke and Karen arrive in Japan. Keisuke finally realizes that Karen and the doctor were right as he sees news coverage of Barugons rampage.

The beam destroys the tanks, but when it hits the mirror, the beam is reflecte back at Barugon. The plan seems to work until Barugon stops using his rainbow beam. Before anyone can try to coerce the monster into using the weapon again, Karen reveals that Barugon has learned from his mistake, and he will not use his rainbow beam again.

Karen informs the JSDF that Barugon can be weakened by water, and that he cannot survive for very long when submerged in it. With this knowledge, the JSDF begin to bombard Barugon with artificial rain for several days to keep him in a quasi-contained state. Fortunately, Barugon is very close to lake Biwa, and Karen hatches a plan to use a diamond from her tribe in New Guinea to lure Barugon to the lake and drown him. Attaching the diamond to a helicopter, the works initially, but Barugon soon loses interest. It is soon discovered that because Barugon was exposed to infrared rays, a regular diamond, no matter how large, may not be enough to entice him. The miltiary once again dowses the best in artificial rain until a device can be built to

After this, Keisuke learns that his brother and his brother's wife both died when their house was set on fire, and that Onodera was last seen coming out of the house. Keisuke and Karen find and confront Onodera at a bar, where a short brawl ensues before Karen knocks the bastard out with a glass bottle to the head. Keisuke and Karen try to convince Onodera that the opal was really Barugon's egg, but he refuses to believe them.
