Film watched: Gamera VS Gyaos aka Gamera vs. Gaos

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 Mystery Science Theater 3000 version provides examples of:

• Call Back: A character riding a motorcycle evokes mention of Rex Dart Eskimo Spy from Godzilla vs. Megalon.
• Irony: During the invention exchange Joel blows his nose using tissue that has the cure to the common cold printed on it.
• Subverted Kids Show: The bots literally subvert Joel’s’ attempts to show kids how to make an arts and crafts Gyaos head by dispensing mischievous advice to the audience. Their suggestions include eating paste, drawing on their bedroom wall with a permanent marker and cutting pictures out of public library books. Finally, when Joel takes Servo away for a time out an unattended Crow announces that the word of the day is ‘’booger’’.
