Gamera: Super Monster (1980) - (Koichi Maeda) Polish one-sheet
This is a 26.5" x 38" Polish poster designed by Marek Ploza-Dolinski for the 1980 Noriaki Yuasa film Gamera: Super Monster written by Nisan Takahashi and starring Koichi Maeda as Keiichi, the boy who talks to turtles. Originally intended as a children's movie, this film makes heavy use of stock footage from previous Gamera films. Plot summary: The planet Earth is in despair because the evil alien Zanon has come to enslave it. The planet has three resident superheroes known as the Spacewomen, but they are powerless to stop Zanon. However they enlist the help of Keiichi because of his special inside channel to Gamera, a giant space turtle. After Japan's Air Force is sent to attack the source of mysterious rays emanating from Mount Fuji and is unable to prevail, Gamera turns the tide by winning all the fights in a succession of attacks from Zanon's monster minions including Gyaos (a huge flying petrosaur), Zigra (a monster shark), Viras (a space squid), Jiger (a giant dinosaur), Guiron (a knife-headed beast) and Barugon (a giant lizard); at the end after all Zanon's monsters lose their fights, Gamera self-destructs in a confrontation with the Space Ship Zanon, which destroys Zanon himself forever. Zanon's accomplice on Earth, Giruge [Keiko Kudo], finally changes her evil ways because she is moved by the fact that Keiichi has taken a liking to her.
