This is a hilarious and fun edition of "Gamera Super Monster" as shown on TV's "Cinema Insomnia", hosted by America's finest contemporary horror host, Mr. Lobo, who provides witty commentary and bizarre factoids throughout. An earlier reviewer apparently did not understand this, so be prepared for some amusing hosting segments and video strangeness along with your feature presentation. Lobo does fine and funny work on the "Cinema Insomnia" series, proudly carrying on the horror host tradition of Bob Wilkins, Ghoulardi, the Cool Ghoul, Zacherle, Dr. San Guinary, Elvira and so many others, and his contributions here make the otherwise-dubious film a lot more fun. Highly recommended for late-nite horror fans and the people who love them.

this movie is a good movie to own, but not this version, who want's to be interupted by the host, i'll purchsed the elvira double set.

Greetings,

I really hesitate to give harsh reviews, but this is without one of the worst DVD's I have ever purchased. I only gave it 1 star because Amazons rating system demand that I do, when in actualty it deserves NO STARS. And I'm not talking about the film. I knew going in that Gamera-Super Monster was one of the worst Kaiju (Giant Monster) films ever made as I had seen it several times as a child, however this DVD makes what I thought might be an entertaining movie for my children, unwatchable. Mr. Lobo is a sad attempt to recreate the glory days of Creature Features (Bob Wilkins), but fails miserably at doing so. Instead the movie is hacked up and this guy appears every 5-10 minuets with asinine commentary and factoids about the film. Also the film is loaded with ads for websites were bootleg DVD's of "public domain" horror & sci-fi films are cheaply made and sold. Thankfully this movie is out of stock (as of 09/10/2008), but if Amazon gets more in DO NOT BUY IT! Make my $20 the last money these people get. With DVD's becoming cheaper to produce and more & more material becoming available all the time, I would be willing to wait until the rights to the "Showa" Gamera films (The original 8 films produced from 1965-1980)are picked up by a legitimate video distributor and are relesed perhaps in a nice box set as in Japan. ONce again DO NOT BUY THIS Please!!!

Don't waste your money on this unauthorized, illegal release of this film. Gamera, Super Monster will be coming out soon from Shout! Factory with excellent presentation, fully authorized by Kadokawa Pictures. Don't buy this bootleg junk!
