When civilization is in danger… when an alien menace threatens humanity… when the children of the world need a 1200-tonne hero… cinema’s second-greatest kaiju is on the case. Important Cinema Club Masterpiece Classics is proud to present Gamera – giant flying turtle, friend of all children, guardian of the universe – in his most outrageous adventure ever.

From the tail end of the the golden age of Japanese monster movies, Gamera: Super Monster is a wild and crazy retrospective of the giant reptile’s greatest moments. When outer-space invaders invade earth, three space-alien superwomen and a brave little boy team up to summon Gamera, who fights a who’s who of his most fearsome adversaries. Gaos! Barugon! Viras! Guiron! The boys are back in town for this cinematic sugar-rush, fun for the monster-loving adolescent in everyone.
