Gamera 3 vs Gamera the Brave: special effects comparison

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!!

We're supposed to choose these films for their FX, but I think people choose G3 because they consider it the better FILM.

I think the FX for both films are equally great. It's just the films that are different. Apples & oranges, that's all.

The effects in both films were technically accomplished, but Gamera 3 has the edge from the effects scenes being better directed and more artistically accomplished. That may not be fair though, as GtB was aiming for a more intimate atmosphere than the grandeur of G3. Still, when I think back on both films it's shots from G3 that jump to mind first: the burning Gyaos plummeting to the streets, the fully grown Iris rising through the clouds to a moonlit sky, Gamera's spinning mid-air attack against Iris, and so on. The effects in G3 were so exciting and dramatic, and I think they have yet to be bested in the genre.

One thing I do love about GtB is the Zedus suit. While not a terribly original design, the suit itself was lovingly detailed and the suit actor had a convincing reptilian gait.

Argh, this thread has made me need to watch Gamera 3 again :lol:
