K05- GAMERA

First shown: 12/11/88.
Opening: It's Christmas time on the Satellite of Love. Crow volunteers to be cryogenically frozen and turned into a Christmas tree.
Host segment 1: Joel ponders using Servo as a snowman lawn-ornament next Christmas. A caller demands to know who does Joel's hair, and Joel invites the caller to watch the end credits.
Host segment 2: A caller asks Joel why he doesn't hire Godzilla to appear on the show. Gypsy agrees to impersonate Godzilla, after some coaxing from Joel. Viewers are invited to participate in a Ted Turner phone survey.
Host segment 3: Joel and Servo listen to more fan messages. One caller expresses his fondness for "giant turtles who breathe fire and sh*t".J&TB debate whether the film's fight scenes look fake or not.
End: Joel thanks everyone for calling in, and re-runs the footage of Crow getting frozen. Gypsy thinks Crow "isn't really beautiful", but sings a holiday song with Joel anyway.
Special Notes: Joel watches the film by himself; as such, this episode contains what may be the poorest riffing in MST3K's rich history. It's not uncommon for poor Joel to go more than two minutes without making a single joke. Although Servo appears in the host segments, he does not join Joel in the theater. This is never explained. Trace was reportedly out of town during the shooting of this episode, which is why the "Christmas tree gag" was invented.

Trivia: GAMMERA THE INVINCIBLE was the USA-released version which included extra scenes with an American cast (Albert Dekker, etc.) filmed in America. The scenes added nothing...just more people talking about Plan Z.

Contrary to some sources, the original working title for Dai Kaiju Gamera (Giant Monster Gamera) was not Dai Gunju Nezura (The Great Rat Swarm). The filming of Dai Gunju Nezura was never completed, supposedly because fleas from the live rats infested the film studio. All the miniature sets were then used in the first Gamera film instead.

All the MSTed Gamera movies were imported on video to the USA by SANDY FRANK. Frank also brought these other MSTed movies to America: 306-TIME OF THE APES; 310-FUGITIVE ALIEN; 314-MIGHTY JACK; 318-STAR FORCE; K21-LEGEND OF THE DINOSAUR; and K11-HUMANOID WOMAN, which was the only non-Japanese import.

If you're looking for somebody to blame for the entire Gamera oeuvre, look no further than NORIAKI YUASA who directed this and three other MSTed Gamera outings: 308-GAMERA VS. GAOS; 312-GAMERA VS. GUIRON; and 316-GAMERA VS. ZIGRA. Plus he supervised the special effects for 304-GAMERA VS. BARUGON. Yuasa also directed Gamera Vs. Viras; and Gamera Vs. Monster X.

In Japan, fans can play along with Gamera in the recently released video game Gamera 2000.

For the lyrics and their translation to the GAMERA THEME SONGS, see 312-GAMERA VS. GUIRON.
