History Film / GameraVsGuiron

For the ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode, click [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E12GameraVsGuiron here]].

* ImprovFu: At one point, Gamera swings on a huge horizontal pipe like it's a gymnast's parallel bars.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The Sandy Frank/Pedro dub is considered hands down one of the worst dubs ever made. The script is a word-for-word literal translation of the Japanese dialog, right down to calling planets "stars" and leading to such bizarre scenes as the infamous "Hello!" "Thank You!" exchange. Yes, even the "dancing go-go" line was in the Japanese script. On top of that, it was clear that they hadn't really hired actors so much as handed scripts to a bunch of people on the day of recording and used their first takes.

* ActorAllusion: Kondo's glasses sliding down his nose.

The fifth installment of the Showa-era '''{{Gamera}}''' films, released in 1969. Following in the footsteps of ''Film/GameraVsGyaos'', ''Guiron'' turns the kid-friendly elements UpToEleven; in this film, for instance, the actual protagonists are children. The official American release of the film, from American International Pictures, [[MarketBasedTitle retitles the film]] ''Attack Of The Monsters''; a later dub by US TV Producer SandyFrank re-instated the "Gamera Vs X" title.

* {{Bowdlerized}}: Space Gyaos' RasputinianDeath was edited out of the American International dub.

* CassandraTruth: Poor, poor little Tomoko.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking / WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Akio has an apparent aversion to "wars and traffic accidents".

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Kid-friendly or not, this film features Guiron defeating a Gyaos by [[OffWithHisHead chopping off its head]] then [[RasputinianDeath slicing the body up like a Thanksgiving ham]]. ''And this is shown on-camera.'' Sure, Gyaos' innards look like nothing more than blackberry jam, but still...

Although they seem nice, the alien girls are actually [[ImAHumanitarian cannabalistic, and soon plot to put the boys into comas in order to eat their brains]]. However, probing Akio's mind, they learn about Gamera -- who soon arrives. The aliens release Guiron, who manages to stun Gamera and trap him at the bottom of a lake. Meanwhile, the boys wake up, realize the aliens' evil intentions, and try to flee -- only to accidentally release Guiron in the process. Now completely out of control, Guiron attacks the spaceship as the aliens try to fly away, then begins coming after the children. However, Gamera returns and fights Guiron to a standstill; the boys pitch in, somehow managing to fire a missile into Guiron's head, which Gamera ignites with his flame breath, destroying the monster. Gamera uses his fire breath to repair the spaceship and carries the boys home in it, where their families and friends (and lots of military and scientists) are waiting for them [[hottip:*:Tomoko's character arc for the entire film is [[CassandraTruth trying to convince the adults]] of [[AlienAbduction what happened to the boys]].

* ImAHumanitarian: Terrans love a boy with brains.

* ActorAllusion: Kon-chan's glasses sliding down his nose.
* AdultsAreUseless: When Tomoko tries to tell everyone that the boys have been abducted by a FlyingSaucer, no one believes her -- which is understandable, but then they actually scold her for ''lying''. Only Kon-chan seems to take the girl seriously (and gets scolded himself for it). Even if he's only humoring her to spare her feelings, it still makes Kon-chan the most sympathetic adult character in the entire film.

* PluckyComicRelief: Kon-chan, ostensibly.
