The War between Gamera and Barugon

In which X7 looks at the only Gamera movie that does not feature a small child, War of the Monsters, AKA Gamera vs. Barugon (大怪獣決闘 ガメラ対バルゴン, Daikaijū kettō: Gamera tai Barugon, lit. 'Great Monster Duel: Gamera vs. Barugon'). The AIP-TV version is mercifully twelve minutes shorter, but that is damning it with faint praise. The creatures are cool and all, but the movie moves at a glacial pace. Fortunately, the next movies start to improve quite a bit!
