Well, I just bought the ADV Gamera 3 DVD, and while reading the list of DVD extras saw that there was a "commentary by Gamera" feature. After watching the basic version, I quickly went to the commentary expecting to see some stupid, cheesy deal, but what I saw had to be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Well, not really... but close. The whole thing was a fake commentary by the supposed "actors" who played Gamera, Iris, and some extra named #6. Apparently Gamera is played by an actor named Cameron Beechum III who has distinguished, european accent and just happens to actually be a 200 ft tall, jet-powered, fire breathing turtle! The Iris actor was less entertaining, but still funny. But the most hilarious part of the whole thing was this #6 guy. He's supposedly a pointless extra who has worked on every single Gamera film and does all these completely unnecessary things like playing background characters you can hardly see and being on the other end of the line when other characters are talking on the phone! I seriously still have not stopped laughing at this thing all day. I apologise if this is all old news for many of you, but I didn't see any previous threads about it... Regardless, if you have the DVD and have not yet watched this feature, go do it now, it's almost worth the price of the DVD alone.
