Gamera vs. Barugon: Difference between revisions

Gamera, eager for revenge, goes off to search for Barugon, and when he arrvies at Lake Biwa, the two monsters engage in a short but vicious duel to the death. The battle ends when Gamera grabs Barugon's throat by his mouth and tusks and drags him under the lake, drowning the mutant lizard. Barugon sends out one last rainbow beam as Gamera rises from the lake and flies away. Keisuke asks why men are so greedy, stating that he is now alone because of that greed and the part he played in it. Karen then informs him that he still has her, and the movie ends.

 

----

=== This film contains examples of the following: ===

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Compared to the previous film and the other showa films that came after it, Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the showa Gamera films.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Gamera only appears in three scenes throughout the film, and does little to advance the plot until he kills Barugon at the end.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The scene where Karen licks the blood off Keisuke's arm after a fist fight with Onodera. From the camera angling some see it as her pleasuring him orally. And possibly another scene later where she's upset, and sitting, and turns to Keisuke, who is standing up. Cue her head being in another suggestive spot.

* [[Fake Nationality]]: The New Guinean villagers are basically Japanese extras... but [[Blackface|painted]] [[Unfortunate Implications|to look like]] New Guineans.

* [[Giant Equals Invincible]]: Played with. Barugon and Gamera are both immune to the military's weapons, but the former is vulnerable to water and his own defense mechanism, while the latter is susceptible to cold.

* [[Karmic Death]]: Onodera. Unfortunately, he also takes the heroes' best means of killing Barugon with him.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Onodera.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Barugon, according to Karen. Of course, Gamera stabbing his neck with his tusks and holding him under may have played a part as well.
