Me ka hoʻokuʻu nui ʻia ʻana o Godzilla e hoʻi hou nei i mau pule wale nō, ke ʻike nei mākou i ke ala hou ʻana o ka hoihoi i kaiju (ʻo Iapana kēlā no ka monster) nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻAʻole wale ka nui o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Godzilla i hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia, akā ke kiʻi ʻia nei nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Gamera. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke kaʻina e ka Daiei Motion Picture Company ma hope o ka kūleʻa o Godzilla. Hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ʻo Gamera ma ke ʻano he Pōʻalima ka 13th iā Godzilla's Halloween; he derivative ia, akā ʻaʻole ia e lawe i kāna waiwai leʻaleʻa nui.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Mill Creek Entertainment i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻewalu ma ka franchise Gamera mua (i ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia e nā mea pā e like me ka Showa series) ma Blu-ray no ka manawa mua. Hōʻike ʻia kēlā me kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma kāna ʻoki Iapana mua me nā huaʻōlelo Pelekane. Ua hoʻokuʻu mua ʻia kēia mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma DVD e Shout Factory, a me he mea lā ua like kēia mau hoʻoili ʻana, akā i kēia manawa ke ʻike nei mākou i ka honu lele lele ma ka wehewehe kiʻekiʻe. ʻO Gamera: Ultimate Collection Volume 1 e hōʻiliʻili i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻehā mua: Gamera, Gamera vs. Barugon, Gamera vs. Gyaos, a me Gamera vs. Viras.

Gamera (1965)
AKA Gammera ka Lanakila

Hoʻāla kahi pahū pōpō atomika i kahi monster prehistoric i kapa ʻia ʻo Gamera. Loaʻa ka mana i ka pilikua nunui e like me ka honu e hanu i ke ahi a lele. (He paʻakikī ʻaʻole e chuckle i ka absurdity o nā hiʻohiʻona lele i loko o ke kaʻina.) Ua luku ʻia kekahi mau kūlanakauhale Kepani ma mua o ka hele ʻana i Tokyo, akā hoʻāʻo ka ʻepekema e ʻokiʻoki i ka rampage ma o ka hoʻohālua ʻana i ka monster i kahi pōhaku ma Mars.

ʻO Gamera kahi wīwī ākea o Godzilla, e ʻimi ʻaneʻane i kēlā me kēia ʻano mai ke aliʻi kaiju, akā hoʻohui wale ia i kāna mea hoʻonani. Hōʻike ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i nā hana liʻiliʻi like ʻole a me nā hopena "rubber suit monster". ʻOiai ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kala i mea maʻa mau i kēlā manawa, ua kiʻi ʻia ʻo Gamera i ka ʻeleʻele a me ke keʻokeʻo e mālama i ke kālā. ʻO ka nele o ke kala e kōkua i ka uhi ʻana i kekahi o nā missteps budgetary, akā hana ia i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lā. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻopaʻapaʻa he ʻoi aku ia ma mua o Godzilla, aia kekahi kumu i hoʻopuka ai ʻo Gamera i kahi franchise maikaʻi e kamaʻilio nei mākou ma kahi o 50 mau makahiki ma hope.

Gamera vs. Barugon (1966)
Kaua AKA o nā Monsters

Ke kuʻi ka meteor me ka pōhaku e lawe ana iā Gamera, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka monster a ʻoi aku ka ikaika ma mua o ka wā. I kēia manawa, kiʻi hou kekahi hui huakaʻi i ka mea a lākou i manaʻoʻiʻo ai he opal nona ka waiwai o $4 miliona i hūnā ʻia i loko o ke ana ma kahi mokupuni o ka Pākīpika Hema. Ua lilo ia i hua kahiko, i ka wā e ʻike ʻia ai i ka radiation, e paʻa iā Barugon. Loaʻa i ka monster ka mana e hoʻokuʻu i nā mea me kona alelo a hoʻopuka i ke anuenue mai kona iwi kuamoʻo e luku ai i kekahi mea ma kēlā ʻaoʻao. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, hoʻoholo ʻo Gamera lāua ʻo Barugon e hoʻoholo ʻo wai ka mea kiʻekiʻe.

ʻAʻole pololei ʻo Gamera i kaiju maikaʻi loa ma waho, akā mālama ʻo Barugon i cheesier. Ua like ka moʻo moʻo me ka alligator / tyrannosaurus rex hybrid, maikaʻi loa ma ka pepa, akā haʻalele ka lole i nā mea he nui e makemake ʻia. ʻO Gamera vs. Barugon ke komo mua o ka moʻo i ke kala, a he mea hanohano ia. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā hopena kūikawā aʻoi aku ka nui o nā pahū. ʻO ka moʻolelo ka mea wale nō i loko o ke kaʻina e hōʻikeʻike ʻole i ke keiki ma ke ʻano he mea nui, akā paʻa ia, inā wānana ʻia. No ka waiwai leʻaleʻa, Gamera vs. Barugon kahi mea lanakila.

Gamera vs. Gyaos (1967)
Hoʻihoʻi AKA o nā Monsters nunui

Hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi lua pele pele i lalo i kahi pilikua, mea ʻēheu i kapa ʻia ʻo Gyaos. I kēia manawa, hoʻi ʻole ʻo Gamera (koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻāʻo e wehewehe iā ia). E like me Godzilla i mua ona, ua lilo ʻo Gamera i punahele punahele, me nā keiki. ʻO ka hopena, hoʻomaka kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kā Gamera huli ʻana i kahi kāne maikaʻi, e hoʻopakele ana iā Iapana mai kāna moʻo hou (ʻo ia, ma kēia kiko, kahi hanana makahiki).

ʻO Gyaos kekahi mea e like me ka ʻōpeʻapeʻa nunui, me ka hiki ke hoʻouna i nā kukuna hōʻino, supersonic mai kona waha. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke nānā aku me ka noʻonoʻo ʻole i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o kahi keiki e kaha kiʻi iā Toothless mai Pehea e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i kāu Dragon. ʻO Gyaos ko Gamera hoʻokūkū pinepine, e ʻike ʻia hoʻi i loko o ʻelua mau komo i hope. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ʻole ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ke hāʻawi nei i kahi hopena kūikawā kūikawā i ka hoʻohuihui ʻana i ka poʻe i ka mua me nā moʻo nui ma hope.

Gamera vs. Viras (1968)
Hoʻopau ʻo AKA i nā Honua āpau

Hoʻokomo kahi lāhui ʻē i ka Honua me nā hoʻolālā e hoʻopaʻa iā ia e like me kā lākou. Manaʻo lākou iā Gamera - i kēia manawa i kapa ʻia he "hoaaloha i nā keiki āpau" - kahi hoʻoweliweli a hoʻomaka e hoʻopau iā ia. I mea e hana ai pēlā, ʻike ka poʻe malihini i kona nāwaliwali a kāʻili i kahi mau Scout Boy. A laila koi lākou iā Gamera e hōʻino iā Tokyo ma o ke telepathy. (ʻ Japaneselelo ka poʻe malihini i ka ʻōlelo Kepanī a maopopo paha iā Gamera, ʻaʻohe nīnau i nīnau ʻia.)

Me he mea lā ʻo Gamera vs. Viras ka māka i ke kime ʻana i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hou i kēlā me kēia makahiki i hoʻomaka e hopu me nā mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. He kiʻi ʻoniʻoni pōkole kēia, e uaki nei ma 81 mau minuke, a ʻo 10 o ia mau pahu paʻi wikiō i hoʻoili ʻia mai nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mua. Pākuʻi ʻia nā kiʻi i ka lewa a ma lalo o ka wai i ka waiwai o kitsch, akā ʻo Viras kahi pilikua ʻoʻopa - he kime malihini nui ia - ʻaʻole ia e hakakā. No ka poʻe hoihoi i kahi hoʻomoana a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 ipukukui, he wahi maikaʻi kēia e nānā ai.

ʻO Gamera: Ultimate Collection Volume 1 kahi hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi loa no nā mea pā kaiju e hoʻomākaukau ana no ka hoʻi ʻana o Godzilla. ʻOiai he mea maikaʻi paha ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mana ʻAmelika pū kekahi, ʻike maikaʻi nā mana Iapana (ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole) ma Blu-ray. Aia kekahi mau hewa o ka grammatical i nā huaʻōlelo i pono ke hopu ʻia, akā inā ʻaʻole, paʻakikī ke hoʻopiʻi e pili ana i ka set. He paʻakikī, kūʻai aku, a maikaʻi ka maikaʻi.

E heluhelu pono i kā mākou loiloi o Gamera: ʻAoʻao Ultimate Collection Volume 2.
