The Masterpiece: Attack of the Monsters
Purchase Link: You Are Welcome.
The Year: 1969
The Director: Noriaki Yuasa
Beasts to Enjoy: Gamera. Guiron. Gyaos.
Marketing Quotes/Taglines: No tagline!
If I ran the Marketing: “Someone just puked on your hands!”
What the Fuck is Going On: While this film is probably best known as Gamera vs. Guiron it really doesn’t matter what title they slap on it. It’s fucked. Also, the version I used here is apparently a trimmed version so if you’re looking for a pristine uncut version… you need a fucking doctor.
Two horrible kids who deserve to be cast in Powder 2 get transported across time and space to a place where two really dumb monsters duke it out. Trapped by bizarre alien women, they yearn for rescue, which ultimately comes in the form of legendary space turtle Gamera. A lot of silliness ensues and we are all left feeling hated by God himself.
Please love this film.

Amazing. Though I was hoping for a screenshot featuring the magical chinese stars that appeared on either side of Knife-heads..er head? Knife?
This is a great one. Too bad the tight wads at Daiei won't let MST3K release their riff on one of their DVD sets.
great choice. they actually used clips of this movie on pee wee's playhouse back in the day. i dont no if anyone remembers that, but i'll never forget the sight of a giant turtle swinging around between two buildings. 10 whole points to anyone who remembers that episode
Man this used to be on the Saturday Monster Matinee on our local TV station in San Antonio when I was a kid in the 80's. I saw this a few times…I loved the throwing star ears on ole knife head too…plus I remember it was bloodier than Godzilla films.
That's kind of wonderful.
Wow, the gymnastic turtle looks awesome. This is good cinema
Joe Blow, that isn't Daiei's fault – they're no longer in business. It's Sandy Frank who was holding out on the MST discs, as the man apparently has no humor. 😉
