Gamera vs. Barugon (1966)

Gamera’s second outing takes place six months after his first.  Plan Z went tits-up, so the giant turtle is back, this time in colour, but functions like a guest in his own movie. Barugon eats up most of the monster screen time with his icy tongue. The remainder of the story involves an unscrupulous treasure-seeker who can’t see past his own greed.
There’s despair when danger might have been more effective and the pace slows to a (quadrupedal) crawl in the last third but there’s more than enough quality moments to recommend a viewing to fans.
Daiei’s scale models aren't as good as Toho’s, but in G vs B the creatures are less like men in suits, which will please some folks and disgust others.
