GAMERA VS. ZIGRA/GAMERA: THE SUPER MONSTER

DOUBLE-FEATURE COLLECTOR’S EDITION DVD

Featuring All-New Anamorphic Widescreen Transfers,

English and Japanese Audio Tracks and More!

AVAILABLE ON DVD MARCH 15, 2011

The wait is over! On March 15, 2011, Shout! Factory will unleash the final two films in the illus­tri­ous Gamera fran­chise: Gamera Vs. Zigra and Gamera: The Super Monster!

Witness twice the excite­ment as Gamera takes on the malev­o­lent under­wa­ter alien crea­ture Zigra and then revis­its each of his dead­liest foes on by one while try­ing to save the word! Both films fea­ture newly remas­tered trans­fers in their orig­i­nal Japanese lan­guage as well as English dubs.

Until the part­ner­ship of Shout! Factory and Kadokawa Pictures in May 2010, the orig­i­nal Gamera films were woe­fully under­rep­re­sented on DVD in the United States, espe­cially in fea­tur­ing the authen­tic orig­i­nal Japanese ver­sions of the films.  But that has changed with the recent releases of Gamera, The Giant Monster, Gamera vs. Barugon and now, the two dou­ble fea­ture col­lec­tions Gamera vs. Gyaos/Gamera vs. Viras and Gamera vs. Guiron/Gamera vs. Jiger.

  • Newly restored anamor­phic widescreen transfers
  • English Dubs
  • Publicity Gallery
