The Mixed "Gamera" Part 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Daiei

"Gamera" is made by Daiei Pictures, Inc. The first "Gamera" was made in 1965, more than 10 years after the original "Godzilla" movie. Gamera is Godzilla's competition, Gamera is as huge as Godzilla in Japan, but is not as well known in America.

Answer: He is a prehistoric beast frozen in a glacier

An atomic bomber crashes in the Artic waking up the sleeping giant. Originally Gamera is bad but in later movies turns good and becomes the "friend of children".

Answer: No

Like in the "Godzilla" Showa and Heisei series, the "Gamera" Heisei and Showa series are different. In the Heisei series, Gamera was made by the ancient people of Atlantis to be their protector and the protector of Earth. The Showa series was more child oriented, where as the Heisei is more of an adult trilogy.

This is not the "friend of children" you are used to, Gamera protects the Earth but at the cost of human lives if necessary. This amazing trilogy of the 1990's used incredible special effects and is considered better than most Heisei "Godzilla" movies.

Answer: Gyaos

The Gyaos are bat/fox like monsters that actually eat people. Gyaos is considered by fans to be Gamera's number one foe. The Gyaos appear on the Heisei Series in two of the three movies. They appear on "Gamera the Guardian of the Universe" and "Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris".
