Gamera, the hero, hurts people. Might sound stupid, ok I know it does but Gamera is a character created with a specific purpose of giving children a hero that is on their side, someone dependable that's just there for them. And while Gamera does do heroic actions in Gamera 3, I respect Noriaki Yuasa's vision enough to know that his Gamera wouldnt ever do anything like that. (Yes, I know in the original film Gamera killed tons of people...but that's before they really created the character of Gamera)

It's kind of like having Superman suddenly become a dark, Punisher like hero.

I still like Gamera 3, I've just soured over it the past few years though it is probably the best technically advanced kaiju film ever filmed. That film no longer really screams Gamera to me...for some people that's a good thing that Gamera acts more like Godzilla, for me...I miss the old Gamera when I watch the film now.

At the 50th Anniversary event in San Francisco, , we ran twenty film prints â€”Â no DVDs â€”Â over seven consecutive days at the legendary (which makes the Pickwick look like a shoebox), mostly relegating dubbed prints to the matinee shows and subs to the evening shows (with some minor exceptions, where Japanese versions were not available). Only one film was not in 35mm, and that was a 16mm print of GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS. So, it can be done. The fans have to demand to the Pickwick that they don't want to pay for DVD projections and that's the only way things will change.

I have no interest whatsoever in wasting my money at the Pickwick to watch a DVD. And I agree with kiryugoji 100%. It's insulting to "honor" Kenji Sahara by showing a DVD version of one of his films where you can't even hear his God damned voice and see his natural performance.
