Viras Inspiration

Spinning flame-jetted turtles, space birds being chopped up like bologna, kids in shorts screaming for help...the original Gamera series was a strange mix of wacky fun!! The 90's Gamera films set a standard that other kaiju films are measured against! Discuss Gamera films here!!

Viras Inspiration

Anyone else think it's possible that Viras could have been inspired by the Martians in H.G. Wells' book, The War of the Worlds? The Martians in the book are huge, lumbering squid-like creatures with beaks like birds, just like Viras. Of course, it could just be coincidence.
