Official Gamera 2006 Thread (may contain spoilers)

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!!

As far as I know, both カメ and 亀 are kame, meaning "tortoise", though I think the latter is also used for turtle.

So basically, I guess トト (toto) simply means "crappy 80s band". :lol:

Since they have a word for tortoise, I'm guessing it's derived from the english "turtle".

I wasn't sure myself, so I had to look this up:

Turtle — Spends most of its life in the water. Turtles tend to have webbed feet for swimming.
Tortoise — A land-dweller that eats low-growing shrubs, grasses, and even cactus. Tortoises do not have webbed feet.
Terrapin — Spends its time both on land and in water, but it always lives near water, along rivers, ponds, and lakes. Terrapins are often found in brackish, swampy areas.

Sounds like a scam to me.

I am extremely impressed with the way this film is looking, I was a first at little wary about Zedus's tounge being used as a weapon but it looks they may have pulled it off perfect so it does not look at all bad (he's looking like quite the fighter as well). And effects-wise...looks top notch, the clip of Zedus tail swiping Gamera on the bridge looked incredible, although I can't help feeling bad for the little guy taking all those blows. And it looks out little Toto will be having a fireball and a "before blast charge-up" similar to another beast we all know who. :wink:

Also, notice the little guy has a new roar, juvenile sound of the classic Gamera roar perhaps?

I guess the thread about what Gamera would use, flamethrower or fireballs has been answered. These are probably Gamera's best balls to date. ;D
