Michael Callari's video: FAN-MADE Gamera Strikes Back - Film Ventures opening credits

Okay, this is going to get complicated. In 1989, a company called Film Ventures International began using a legal loophole while releasing movies on VHS. By creating their own opening and closing credits (often using altered footage from a completely different movie), they were able to claim the movie sandwiched in between as a “clip,” allowing them to buy the rights at much lower prices. Nine of the movies to receive this treatment ended up on Mystery Science Theater 3000, including Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (with its opening credits from Son of Godzilla). Film Ventures also got their hands on Gamera vs. Barugon (though their version was not the one riffed on MST3k). It was promptly retitled Gamera Strikes Back… with the new credits made from footage of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster! No footage of these sequences exists online, nor is there much in the way of description, so I took it upon myself to create a rendition of what the opening credits might look like. The aesthetic was heavily influenced by the Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster credits, with a bit of Cave Dwellers thrown in for good measure. Credits were based off of the Sandy Frank/Crown International version (for that was the company Film Ventures licensed the movie from). All misspellings were intentional on my part.
