Gamera: the Brave (2006-Film)

## Gamera the brave (2006)

***Gamera the Brave*** (小さき勇者たちガメラ, *Chiisaki Yūsha-tachi Gamera*, lit. 'Little Braves: Gamera'), is a 2006 Japanese *kaiju* film directed by Ryuta Tasaki, written by Yukari Tatsui, and produced by Kadokawa Daiei Studio. It is the 12th and final entry in the *Gamera* film series, and serves as the second reboot of the franchise, with the first being *Gamera: Guardian of the Universe* in 1995. It is also the first entry in the series to be produced by Kadokawa Daiei Studio after the company purchased a percentage of the remaining assets of Daiei Film, the original studio that was responsible for making the *Gamera* films.

*Gamera the Brave* stars Ryo Tomioka, Kanji Tsuda, Kaho, and Susumu Terajima, and features Toshinori Sasaki as Toto, the son of the fictional giant turtle monster Gamera. The film was released theatrically in Japan on April 29, 2006, and was distributed by Shochiku.

## Plot.

After Gamera self-destructs to destroy three Gyaos in 1973; the tale picks up 33 years later in 2006, when the son of one of the survivors of that incident finds an unusual egg, from which a baby turtle hatches. The boy, Toru, raises the turtle, quickly realizing it as being remarkable in that it hovers and breathes fire. The turtle quickly outgrows the house, is relocated by Toru and his friends to maintain secrecy and then disappears.

Concurrently, many shipping disasters occur in the area, the cause of which is the kaiju Zedus (ジーダス), a monstrous amphibian which soon thereafter rampages through the city. It corners Toru and his friends, but the boy's former pet, now significantly larger, intercedes. The young Gamera is wounded in the fight and captured by government officials, who hook the creature up to a machine which infuses it with liquid derived from mysterious red stones found in the vicinity of the egg and which scientists theorize give the Gameras their power.

Zedus attacks again and the new Gamera, now larger, goes out to battle him. The human characters determine that the still-immature Gamera must consume the red stone which Toru had found with the egg in order to gain its full power. The egg is located and, with some difficulty, delivered to Toru, who throws it into Gamera's mouth during the battle. Gamera's power of jet-propelled flight manifests itself and it defeats Zedus by breathing a fireball at it. The kaiju escapes further government investigation with Toru's assistance and flies off as the boy wishes him farewell.

However one of Hyoue's men, Magonojyō Gō (Eizaburo Matsumoto), does not partake in the search, because he was the one who had Chinami kidnapped. Magonojyō's father Senbei has a trained pet ape named "King Kong" (Ryūnosuke Kabayama) and Magonojyō used this creature to perform the kidnapping. Magonojyō has a score to settle with Hyoue because he had forced Senbei to counterfeit coins. When Senbei refused to do so, he was imprisoned by Hyoue and eventually killed. This is why Magonojyō disguised his identity and went to work for Hyoue, to get close to him in order to get revenge. Magonojyō eventually corners Hyoue and threatens him with the ape. He offers to give him the whereabouts of Chinami in exchange for the reward money. The ape then takes Hyoue to Magonojyō's secret cellar as a prisoner.

Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (1966-Film)

## Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (1966)

During its development, *Ebirah, Horror of the Deep* was intended to feature King Kong, but the character was replaced by Godzilla. The film was released to theaters in Japan on December 17, 1966, and was released directly to television in the United States in 1968 under the title *Godzilla versus the Sea Monster*.

## Plot

After Yata is lost at sea, his brother Ryota steals a yacht with his two friends and a bank robber. However, the crew runs afoul of Ebirah, a giant lobster-like creature, and washes ashore on Letchi Island. There the Red Bamboo, a terrorist organization, manufactures heavy water for selling weapons of mass destruction; as well as a yellow liquid that keeps Ebirah at bay, presumably controlling it. The Red Bamboo has enslaved natives from nearby Infant Island to create the yellow liquid, the natives hoping that Mothra will awaken in her winged, adult form and rescue them.

In their efforts to avoid capture, Ryota and his friends, aided by Daiyo, a native girl, come across Godzilla who previously fought Ghidorah, is now sleeping within a cliffside cavern. The group devises a plan to defeat the Red Bamboo and escape the island. In the process, they awaken Godzilla using a makeshift lightning rod. Godzilla fights Ebirah, but the huge crustacean escapes. Godzilla is then attacked by a giant condor and a squadron of Red Bamboo fighter jets. Using his atomic ray, Godzilla destroys the jets and kills the giant bird.

The humans retrieve the missing Yata and free the enslaved natives as Godzilla begins to destroy the Red Bamboo's base of operations, smashing a tower that causes a countdown that will destroy the island in a nuclear explosion. Godzilla fights Ebirah and defeats it, ripping its claws off, forcing it to retreat back into the sea. The natives await for Mothra to carry them off in a large net. However, Godzilla challenges Mothra, (since the monsters previously battled in 1964) when she gets to the island. Mothra manages to repel Godzilla and save her people and the human heroes. Godzilla also escapes just before the bomb detonates and destroys the island.
Zigra

## Zigra (kaiju profile)

**Zigra** (ジグラ *Jigura*?) is an alien fish kaiju created by Daiei that first appeared in the 1971 Gamera film, *Gamera vs. Zigra*.

## History

### Showa era

#### *Gamera vs. Zigra*

Zigra invaded the Earth with the intention of enslaving the human race and raising them like cattle. Like Viras attempted three films earlier, Zigra held a pair of human children hostage in order to force the human race to conform to his plan, but Gamera engaged him in battle. Gamera eventually threw him on land, using a rock to play his theme song on Zigra's dorsal fins like a xylophone before setting the alien shark ablaze with his fire breath.

#### *Gamera: Super Monster*

In *Gamera: Super Monster*, Zigra fought with Gamera again in one of the many stock footage scenes. When Gamera hits his back with the rock, his theme song is not played, and is instead replaced by a new, simple tune. Zigra's fate is left unknown, as Gamera is never shown defeating him.

## Abilities

Zigra's attacks are almost all based around his blades on his back, head and, fins. His great speed and agility allows him to easily dodge Gamera's attacks and out-maneuver him. But Zigra's weakness is that because of his aquatic adaptations, he becomes far slower outside of the water. Zigra can also shoot three types of beams from the gem between his nose (orange beam to paralyzes and make the opponent asphyxia by stopping cell functions, green beam to truck and teleport objects at will, and red destructive bream/heat ray which also cause gigantic earthquakes of more than magnitude 12) . When out of water, Zigra can convert his underside into legs and stand, gaining the ability to slap opponents with his fins or jab them with spikes. In this form, Zigra can fall flat on his stomach and use his fins as wings to fly back into the nearest available water.

## Comics

### *Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe*

Zigra appeared in Dark Horse's *Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe* comic series, set after *Gamera: Guardian of the Universe*. In the story, Zigra was an escaped alien creature from outer space, who managed to find his way onto Earth. He eventually encountered Gamera, who made relatively short work of him. In this series, Zigra was pretty much unchanged from his film appearance, except for the fact he was more of a wild animal, and was more aquatic-based.

### *Gamera vs. Barugon*

Zigra makes a brief one-panel appearance alongside Jiger and Iris in Kadokawa's *Gamera vs. Barugon* manga, which is set between the events of *Gamera 2: Attack of Legion* and *Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris*.

King Kong Lives (1986-Film)

## **King Kong Lives! (1986)**

***King Kong Lives*** (released as ***King Kong 2*** in some countries) is a 1986 American monster adventure film directed by John Guillermin. Produced by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group and featuring special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, the film stars Linda Hamilton and Brian Kerwin. The film is a sequel to the 1976 remake of *King Kong*.

## **Plot.**

After being shot down from the World Trade Center, Kong is however revealed to be still alive and is kept in a coma for about 10 years at the Atlantic Institute, under the care of surgeon Dr. Amy Franklin. In order to save Kong's life, Dr. Franklin must perform a heart transplant and give Kong a computer-monitored artificial heart. However, he has lost so much blood that a transfusion is badly needed, and to complicate matters, Franklin says there is no species of ape or other animal whose blood type matches Kong's.

Enter Hank "Mitch" Mitchell, adventurer and Franklin's eventual love interest, who travels to Borneo (as he theorizes that Borneo and the island from the first film were once part of the same landmass) and captures a giant female ape who is dubbed "Lady Kong". Mitchell brings her to the institute to use her blood for King Kong's operation. The transfusion and the heart transplant are a success, but Kong escapes along with Lady Kong.

Archie Nevitt, an insane army lieutenant colonel, is called in with his men to hunt down and kill the two apes. Lady Kong is captured alive by Nevitt's troops and imprisoned; Kong falls from a cliff and is presumed dead. However, as Franklin and Mitchell soon discover, Kong's artificial heart is beginning to give out, forcing them to attempt a jailbreak. They discover that Lady Kong is pregnant with Kong's offspring. The jailbreak is successful thanks to Kong, who has survived the fall and breaks his mate out. After being followed, attacked, and shot by the military, Kong kills Lt. Col Nevitt and dies slowly near a military base on a farm where Lady Kong gives birth to an infant son. Kong reaches out to touch his son just before dying. Having returned to Borneo, Lady Kong lives peacefully with her son in the jungle.
Gappa: The Triphibian Monster A.K.A Gappa: monster from a prehistoric planet (1967-Film)

***Gappa the Triphibian Monster*** (大巨獣ガッパ, *Daikyojū Gappa*) is a 1967 Japanese *kaiju* film directed by Haruyasu Noguchi. The film is about a group of Japanese reporters who discover an infant monster called a Gappa on Obelisk Island. The reporters cage the creature and take it to Japan where it becomes a media attraction. This angers the natives of the island and Gappa's full-grown parents, who head toward Japan to find their child. Its plot virtually duplicates that of the 1961 British film *Gorgo*.

The film was released theatrically in Japan in 1967, but only received release on television in the United States as *Monster from a Prehistoric Planet*. It received positive reviews from *Variety* and Phil Hardy.

Certain shots of the Gappas attacking Japan were used in the 1991 *Red Dwarf* episode "Meltdown".

## Plot.

An expedition from Tokyo heads to Obelisk Island, which the greedy Mr. Funazu, president of *Playmate Magazine*, wants to turn into a resort. The natives of Obelisk welcome the expedition, but two members, Hiroshi and Itoko, venture into a forbidden area, despite the pleas of a native boy named Saki. They enter a cavern blocked by a fallen statue and find a giant egg, out of which hatches a baby monster, a "bird-lizard", referred to as "Gappa". The natives plead with the skeptical scientists not to take the baby away, lest it anger the baby's parents. Sure enough, they take the baby away, and soon, inside the caverns, its two parents rise from the underground waters beneath the volcano, destroying everything in their path. Saki, the only survivor, is rescued by an American Navy fleet and brought back to Japan.

Meanwhile, back in Japan, the baby "bird-lizard" is making world headlines, not to mention being experimented on by scientists. To the shock of the expedition members, there is news of two giant flying creatures appearing over Sagami Bay. The Gappas ravage cities looking for their offspring and are impervious to military weapons. Hiroshi, Itoko and Professor Tonooka (a scientist from the expedition) realize that the "Gappas" are not a legend after all. They, and Saki, try to convince the headstrong Mr. Funazu to let the baby go and return it to its parents.

Garasharp

## Plot (heisei)

### "The Last Hope"

Eons ago, the serpentine Garasharp attacked a highly advanced human civilization. Their four generals convened to plan the creatures' demise, with the general of the south suggesting the use of Mana to create their own race of monsters. With the others' approval, he supervised the crafting of the bat-like Gyaos, which quickly dispatched the Garasharp. Unfortunately, with their food source gone, the Gyaos turned on humanity. The northern general proposed countering the Gyaos with guardians who would each be psychically linked to a human via magatama beads: Gamera. All but one fell in battle, but successfully repelled the Gyaos. Years later, the Gyaos returned, raiding the civilization's city. Worse, a massive Garasharp joined their assault. The last Gamera, bonded to the northern general, chose to destroy both the city and the monsters attacking it, realizing that humanity would never know peace if his creators kept consuming mana. Survivors of the battle memorialized it in a tablet atop the dormant Gamera, with the southern general tending to a mysterious egg.

## Plot (Showa)

### *Gamera vs. Garasharp*

According to the storyboards of the scrapped film, Garasharp was a monster that was to attack Shinjuku in Japan, prompting Gamera to arrive and battle her. During the battle, Garasharp sticks her tongue down Gamera's throat, absorbing most of Gamera's energy which paralyzes Gamera, turning him white and ballooning Garasharp to enourmous proportions. With her newly acquired strength, Garasharp proceeds to destroy Shunjuku.

Time passes and Gamera recovers to confront Garasharp again, this time in the suburbs of Tokyo. During their second fight, Garasharp swallows a few explosives. Gamera uses his fire on Garasharp, but again the cobra absorbs it into her mouth. The fire however agitates the explosives inside Garasharp's throat and as a result, Garasharp is brutally decapitated by the explosion. When two of Garasharp's offspring emerge from her body, the JSDF moves in to exterminate the small monsters. However Gamera intervenes, landing near the baby monsters, Gamera allows them to slither onto his back.

Flying away so that the military cannot harm the tiny Garasharp serpents, Gamera takes them to a deserted tropical island, and proceeds to break off their horns and fangs, leaving the monsters on their new home where they won't do any harm to humanity.

Zone Fighter

Strike! Garoga's Underground Base

Instead of experimenting with machinery like they did Destro-King, for their third beast the Garogas decided to experiment with DNA. Dorola was the result of combining the DNA of a reptile and crab with a rose. Soon after deployment of Dorola, Zone Fighter appeared to save the day. Zone's attempt was short-lived however, after Dorola's toxic smog temporarily drained the hero of his powers. While Zone recovered, Zone Angel and Zone Junior stepped in before his power was regained. Zone grew once more to battle, but this time he would not be defeated. He quickly proved himself to the monster, slicing Dorola's arms clean off. Fearing death, the helpless monster began spraying his mist, fogging up the city. Zone used his Plasma Capsule to clear the blinding smog, leaving Dorola wide open. Zone finished off the monster with his Meteor Missile Might attack.

Salt (1985-Film)

the 209th page wow!

kaiju film? well it was on the list?! wow!

***Salt*** (Korean: 소금, Korean pronunciation: [sʰo̞ɡɯm]) is a 1985 North Korean tragedy film directed by Shin Sang-ok. It is the third of his North Korean films after he and his wife Choi Eun-hee were abducted and brought to the country against their will. Choi stars in *Salt* as an unnamed mother who disapproves of her son after he runs away with guerrillas, but eventually comes to see them as fighting for a just cause. The film is set in 1930s Kando (Jiandao) where ethnic Koreans are persecuted by the Chinese and Japanese.

The film employed a new virtue in North Korean cinema of short and condensed stories instead of multi-part epics. Unusual for a North Korean film, it was favorably reviewed by foreign critics. Choi's performance in particular is praised for realism. She was awarded the Best Actress prize at the 14th Moscow Film Festival in 1985 for her role.

## Plot.

The film opens with a quote from the Bible (for the first time in the history of North Korean cinema where only quotations from Kim Il-sung were typical): "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?" (Matthew 5:13).

The setting of the film is Kando (Jiandao) in the 1930s, torn apart by ethnic conflict in which the Koreans are "literally caught in the crossfire" of Japanese occupiers, Chinese bandits, and communist guerrillas. The local policing force is supposed to protect the peasants, but in truth only works when the interests of the Japanese occupiers are at stake.

The protagonist is an anonymous mother whose husband is killed by bandits. Her son Pong Shik runs off with a band of guerrillas, and her other children fall ill and are denied care by a doctor. The youngest of her sons was born after she was raped by a Chinese landlord, in a scene described as the darkest in the film. After a failed abortion attempt, the mother tries to suffocate the unwanted child before finally deciding to hang herself. However, her neighbor comes to her rescue, cutting the noose just as she is about to commit suicide. The neighbor, although poor, gives the mother's family some salt and suggests it as an opportunity to help leviate her plight.

At the end of the film, the mother carries an expensive sack of salt on a mountain trail with other smugglers. They are attacked by bandits, who in turn are chased away by the communist guerrillas. The guerrillas vow to protect the common people and the mother realizes that her son did not run away from his family with bad intent, but was in fact a hero. She is now determined to find her son and follow the guerrillas.

Tetsuo is an inventor developing a personal alarm to protect people from assailants. Many people do not believe in him until his alarm was bought for 100,000 dollars. When Tetsuo informs his girlfriend of the sale, she questions if it is worth that much, and wonders why a toy company bought Tetsuo's invention. Tetsuo is more concerned with his new-found fortune finally convincing Haruno's brother Astronaut Fuji that he is worthy of dating his sister. When Fuji returns from space, He and his friend Astronaut Glenn invite Tetsuo and Haruno to lunch and Tetsuo tells them of the sale, but counter to Tetsuo's belief Fuji still thinks little of him. Tetsuo then takes Haruno's suspicions seriously and follows the man who bought his invention to a house near lake Myojin, but when Tetsuo tried to get in, the door mat came out from under him and he fell down a long chute into a cell. he remains there for some time before Astronaut Glenn is brought in as well. Tetsuo had already checked the cell by that time, and had determined that the cell was inescapable. Shortly after explaining this to Glenn, Tetsuo finds a note that had fallen from the astronaut's pocket that detailed how their Xilien captors were weakened by certain sounds. This prompts Tetsuo to try using his alarm system against them. This method proves successful and the two escape and give the device to the military to play on mass-broadcast to eliminate the Xilien threat.

Jirass

## **Jirass (Kaiju Profile)**

**Jirass** (ジラース *Jirāsu*), also spelled **Jirahs**, was a mutated lizard kaiju created by a mad scientist who aspired to create a legend-worthy beast. It was killed in a duel with Ultraman.

## **History**

Ultraman (original TV show)

A monster created by Professor Nikaido, Jirass was being raised in Lake Kitayama. When reports of an abundance of fish suddenly disappearing in the lake came in, the SSSP was called in to investigate. When they didn't find any clues, the captain let them go on a vacation nearby at a nice hotel until they could be picked up. When Ide went fishing with a female reporter who had interviewed the scientist, they saw the scientist out on the lake about to feed Jirass. They then went to his house to investigate, but were beaten there by the scientist himself. When he found them in there, he took them hostage since they saw him earlier.

When the rest of the SSSP went looking Ide and the reporter. Jirass was released by the scientist to attack them. With the Scientist holding off the SSSP and revealing that Jirass was his creation, the scientist pulled off his mask to reveal his true self as an acquaintance of Captain Mura. During the scuffle between Jirass and the SSSP, the Scientist got trampled by Jirass, causing the monster to go out of control. Ide fixed his radio and told the rest of the SSSP that he was being held hostage in the scientist's house. Then right as the SSSP was about to get them out, Jirass came and attempted to destroy the house with them inside it.

Hayata pulled out the Beta Capsule and transformed into Ultraman. The battle was slow paced with Ultraman in control of the match, shoving Jirass back to test his superior strength to the monster. Once the monster was provoked, Ultraman tore off Jirass' frill and taunted it even more by imitating a matador bullfight with it. After wrestling with the angry monster, Ultraman punched Jirass as hard as he could with an Ultra Sword Haze in an attempt to knock the monster out. Jirass began bleeding profusely from the mouth and collapsed, dead. Instead of detonating the dead monster with his Specium Ray, Ultraman paused for a moment to replace the kaiju's torn-off frill, and stood for a while to pay his respects to his opponent before flying away to recover his energy.

Gigan (Zone Fighter)

## **Gigan (zone Fighter) (Kaiju Profile)**

Gigan (ガイガン,Gaigan) Appeared in the episode Zone Fighter and Godzilla vs. The Terror Beast's

## **History**

#### *Zone Fighter*

After his battles with Godzilla and Jet Jaguar, Gigan found himself under the control of the Garoga Baron aliens, who outfitted his claws with explosive charges. Following a scheme of the Garogas' to trap Zone Fighter inside of a junked car, Godzilla appeared to drive off the aliens, but was met by a Terror-Beast Missile containing Gigan. The rival monsters again locked in combat, Gigan was quickly dispatched, and Godzilla turned to save Zone Fighter who was still in peril. Gigan was, however, merely feigning death, and returned to his feet to attempt a sneak attack on Godzilla. Noticing this, Zone Great summoned Bolt Thunder to halt the cyborg, again flooring him and allowing Godzilla to cut the power to the junkyard's compactor. Godzilla then thoroughly beat Gigan, leaving him motionless after repeatedly slamming him into the ground with his tail, and left the scene believing himself triumphant. Though, this would not be the end of the space monster, who miraculously revived himself. Free from his automotive imprisonment, Zone Fighter grew to giant size to engage the persistent monster in a final duel. After a brief scuffle, Gigan managed to restrain Zone and utilized his upgraded claws to detonate one of the charges against the hero's head. Zone was not fazed for long, however, as he quickly rolled away and destroyed Gigan's remaining explosive with his Proton Beam. No longer possessing the edge, Gigan was bested in combat and, this time unable to retreat, was struck by a finishing blow. Zone standing victorious, Gigan's visor dimmed and his mouth flooded with foam before finally exploding, thus concluding the cyborg monster’s reign of terror once and for all.

## **Abilities**

Gigan is capable of flying at speeds of up to Mach 3 while in Earth's atmosphere and Mach 400 while in the realm of space. The latter is achieved by encasing himself in a diamond, and is the fastest any kaiju in the Showa *Godzilla* series is capable of traveling, tied with the original King Ghidorah. Gigan's flight normally assists in interstellar travel and is utilized less frequently during battle situations. While using his flight during a battle, Gigan will often engage in aerial slams to continuously topple his opponents without giving them a chance to counter, or even get up. In *Zone Fighter*, Gigan was fitted with a set of deployable drogue parachutes to slow his speed down upon approaching a battle after being released from the Terror-Beast Missile he was deployed in.

## **Roar**

Gigan's roar was reused for the choju Barabas from *Ultraman Ace*. .

MaxGoji (マックスゴジ Makkusugoji) First appeard in the 40 min film Godzilla: 3-D To The Max 2007 short film releasted once only:12 September 2007

## History

### *Godzilla 3-D To The Max (2007-Film)*

Towards the end of the Millennium series, Yoshimitsu Banno approached Toho with an idea for a Godzilla film in IMAX 3-D. Though *Godzilla 2000: Millennium* had not performed especially well in the United States, he believed that the character would prosper in a specialty format which emphasized size and sound. Since the company did not have any concrete plans to continue the Godzilla series after *Godzilla: Final Wars* was released in 2004, they agreed to a contract similar to the one TriStar Pictures had signed to make its 1998 American Godzilla film. Toho would provide Banno with the rights to Godzilla but not any financial backing, and they would have to sign off on the story and monster designs.

Banno completed a story proposal, called *Godzilla vs. Deathla to the MAX*, in December 2003, with the character of Deathla intended as a new version of Hedorah. The film had an intended run time of 36 minutes.

Banno's first revision, finished in 2005, was retitled *Godzilla 3-D to the MAX*, with a proposed budget of $9 million and a run time of 40 minutes. Principal photography would have started in December 2005, with post-production running from March to May 2006. Advanced Audiovisual Productions formed "The Godzilla 3D To The Max Production Committee" with the American company White Cat Productions and launched a website to entice investors in June 2005.

The project was first reported as *Godzilla 3-D* in a December 2005 *Yomiuri Shimbum* article, with a budget of $25 million and a production start date of March 2006. Instead, March saw the *Godzilla 3-D* site go offline. Further news did not emerge until May 2007, when Kerner Productions announced its involvement with the project. Godzilla would be brought to life with a combination of practical and digital effects, including motion capture, and production was to start in February 2008.

It is unknown when Legendary Pictures first expressed interest in the project, but the company's desire to make a feature-length film turned out to be *Godzilla 3-D'*s undoing. Advanced Audiovisual's contract with Toho was for a film 60 minutes or less. Producers Banno, Kenji Okuhira, and Brian Rogers attempted to renegotiate the deal, but decided to simply return the rights to Godzilla and Hedorah to Toho and let Legendary sign a new contract, which was publicly announced in March 2010. Banno and Okuhira would be credited as executive producers on Legendary's Godzilla film, released in 2014, with Rogers as a producer.

Banno and Advanced Audiovisual would later attempt to rework the story of *Godzilla 3-D* into an IMAX Gamera film, titled *Gamera 3-D*. Even after the release of Legendary's *Godzilla*, Banno was still discussing a new Hedorah project, called *Hedorah vs. Midora*.
Space Amoeba a.k.a Yog The Monster From Space (1970-Film)

## space amoeba aka yog the monster from space (1970)

***Space Amoeba*** (ゲゾラ・ガニメ・カメーバ 決戦! 南海の大怪獣, *Gezora, Ganime, Kamēba: Kessen! Nankai no Daikaijū*, lit. "Gezora, Ganimes, and Kamoebas: Decisive Battle! Giant Monsters of the South Seas"), is a 1970 Japanese *kaiju* film directed by Ishirō Honda, written by Ei Ogawa, and produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka and Fumio Tanaka, with special effects by Sadamasa Arikawa. Produced and distributed by Toho Studios, the film stars Akira Kubo, Atsuko Takahashi, Yukiko Kobayashi, Kenji Sahara, Yoshio Tsuchiya, and Yu Fujiki, with Haruo Nakajima portraying both Gezora and Ganimes.

*Space Amoeba* tells the story of amoeba-like extraterrestrials that hijack a space probe and, after crash landing on an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, create gigantic monsters from native lifeforms (a kisslip cuttlefish, stone crab and mata mata) for the purpose of conquering the Earth. The film was released theatrically in Japan on 1 August 1970, and received a theatrical release in the United States in 1971 by American International Pictures, under the title *Yog-Monster From Space*.

## Plot.

The *Helios 7* space probe is sent on a mission to study the planet Jupiter. While on its outward journey to the gas giant, the probe is overtaken by the Space Amoeba, an amorphous parasitic extraterrestrial. The probe returns to Earth and crashes into the South Pacific, where the Amoeba leaves the device and inhabits the body of a cuttlefish, causing it to mutate into what is called "Gezora". The tentacled kaiju begins attacking ships and islands in the area.

A photographer named Kudo and his entourage land on Selgio Island for a photoshoot, but their camp is attacked by Gezora. Because of its mutation, the creature can create extremely cold temperatures with its body. When the survivors discover that Gezora is vulnerable to high temperatures, Kudo and his friends use a leftover Japanese World War II munitions bunker to set fire to the monster. Severely burned, the creature retreats to the water, where it dies.

Later, the Space Amoeba possesses a stone crab, mutating it into "Ganimes" and attacks the surrounding islands. Luckily the humans manage to lure Ganimes into a pit and destroy it with explosives. The Amoeba survives a second time and flees into the surrounding jungles, plotting its revenge.

The Space Amoeba decides to control two Earth creatures this time: another Ganimes and a mata mata named "Kamoebas". The two monsters raid the human camp. Luckily Kudo realizes the two monsters' weakness: supersonic waves. By releasing a storm of bats, the Amoeba loses control of its creations. Ganimes and Kamoebas, no longer under control, go berserk and begin to battle between them. The humans, using more explosives, cause the volcano to erupt, engulfing the Space Amoeba and the two monsters.
