Gamera vs. Gyaos (1967)

Mankind does what it does best: it exploits the poor and builds roads.
Gyaos wakes after millennia and does what comes natural: it eats things.
Gamera intervenes and does what needs to be done: kaijū bad-assery!
The deductive 'science' is so much bullshit and the ultimate plan is badly thought out (poison the lure, you pricks!), but it's hard to dislike the third film, because while it begins to move closer to the kid-friendly scripts it also throws in more blood and violence. Good job, Japan. We like that.
It's much better than what the other Big G shat out that year.
