Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S03/E12 Gamera vs. Guiron

Film watched: Gamera vs. Guiron

This is one of the nine Sandy Frank Japanese films originally used for a KTMA episode that was riffed again a few years later on Comedy Central.

The MST3K version provides examples of:
"[Guiron chops one of Gyos' arm-wings off.]
 * Celebrity Resemblance: They make a running gag of Tom's resemblance to a young Richard Burton. Gamera's resemblance to Karl Malden (especially his nose) is a Running Gag throughout all the Gamera episodes.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: A full-on Hurricane of Puns in Gamera vs. Guiron.

Crow: All he's got is a wing and a prayer. He's really going out on a limb! He's winging it!"

"[Closeup of Guiron's face]
 * In the Style Of: Michael Feinstein (played by Michael J. Nelson) treats us to a Cole Porter-esque piano version of Gamera's theme music at the end.
 * Mondegreen: Joel and the 'bots insist on calling Kon-chan "Cornjob".
 * Oh Crap: When Gamera jams a missile into Guiron's head and sets it on fire.

Crow: Oh, damn.

[EXPLOSION]"


 * With Lyrics: "We're gonna ride our bicycles / We're gonna go and have some fun..."
