Editing Gamera (section)

==== Tokuma Shoten ====
After Daiei was purchased by [[Tokuma Shoten]] in 1974, the new management wanted to produce another ''Gamera'' film, resulting in ''[[Gamera: Super Monster]]'' (also known as ''Space Monster Gamera''), released in 1980. The filmmakers were forced to make the movie because of the contract for one more ''Gamera'' film that they owed to Daiei. Approximately one-third of ''Gamera: Super Monster'' is composed of [[stock footage]] from six of the previous seven films.<ref>{{cite web|last=Player|first=Mark|url=http://www.midnighteye.com/features/intergalactic-tokusatsu-charting-the-japanese-space-opera-part-2/|title=Intergalactic Tokusatsu: Charting the Japanese Space Opera, Part 2|date=7 July 2014|website=Midnight Eye|access-date=24 July 2019}}</ref> Yuasa had Takahashi end the film by having Gamera be presumably killed by sacrificing his life to save Earth, while the later-published [[manga]] by [[Hurricane Ryu]] depicted that Gamera was artificially resurrected.<ref name=MangaBoys />

In 1985, the American distribution rights to the ''Gamera'' films were bought by producer [[Sandy Frank]], who distributed five of the eight films with new [[English dubbing]].{{sfn|Morgan|2015|p=10}} In 1988 and 1989, Frank's versions of ''Gamera, the Giant Monster'' (simply re-titled ''Gamera''),<ref name=dvdtalk /> ''Gamera vs. Barugon'', ''Gamera vs. Gyaos'' (re-titled ''Gamera vs. Gaos''), ''Gamera vs. Guiron'', and ''Gamera vs. Zigra'' were each used in episodes of the television program ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', during the show's [[List of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes#KTMA-TV (1988–89)|first season]], which aired on [[KTMA-TV]].<ref name=dvdtalk />{{sfn|Morgan|2015|p=10}}<ref>{{cite web|last=Murray|first=Noel|url=https://www.avclub.com/mst3k-vs-gamera-1798169020|title=MST3K Vs.
