Gamera vs. Garasharp Alternate titles Gamera vs. Giant Evil Beast Garasharp Planned 1972 Concept history Gamera vs. Two-Headed Monster W → Gamera vs. Garasharp → Gamera: Super Monster

Gamera vs. Garasharp (ガメラ対大邪獣ガラシャープ,   Gamera tai Daiyokoshimajū Garashāpu, lit. Gamera vs. Giant Evil Beast Garasharp) is an unmade 1972 Daiei film.

History

Gamera vs. Garasharp was reworked from Gamera vs. Two-Headed Monster W, with Garasharp replacing the Wyvern. Props, suits and sets for the film were already constructed by the time Daiei went bankrupt in 1971, causing the film to shut down production. A fire at the studio then destroyed all of the kaiju suits and sets, ending all hopes for a new Gamera film, at least until Daiei was purchased by Tokuma Shoten in 1974.

The scrapped monster Marukobukarappa would have also made an appearance in this film. The role and purpose of the monster was never revealed.

Plot

A giant serpent-like monster, called Garasharp, appeared and started destroying Tokyo. Gamera soon appears and kills Garasharp. Then, two baby Garasharps crawl out of their mother's carcass. The military tries to kill them, but Gamera lets them crawl onto his back and he flies them to a remote tropical island.
