Theatrical trailer for Shigeo Tanakas 1966 monster movie Gamera vs. Barugon, Daiei’s second film to feature the giant turtle Gamera and the first time he was shown in color.
Plot: As Gamera is being transported to Mars, a meteorite collides with the rocket he’s held in and frees him. Upon returning to Japan, Gamera destroys Kuroba Dam and continues on. Meanwhile, an expedition in New Guinea accidentally sets a giant ice-breathing monster called Barugon free. Barugon freezes everything in his path until he’s challenged by the fire-breathing Gamera. Unfortunately, Barugon gets the better of their first encounter and Gamera is left incapacitated. Now it’s up to one of the expedition members, Keisuke Hirata (Kojiro Hongo), and a native of New Guinea named Karen (Kyoko Enami) to help put a stop to Barugon before Japan is completely frozen over.
