@horacemajeur in my youth watching All Monsters Attack, I was confounded by the name of the kaiju who attacks Minilla in Ichiro's dreams: Gabara. It seemed to me to be pronounced as Gamera. I thought that was odd and when I mentioned to multiple friends that there were two Gameras they branded me as crazy. Nobody remembered the electrified "Gamera", only the turtle! Then the Internet came along...
@hallmarc Strangely, despite being aware of kaiju from a tender age, I never saw any Gamera until mst3k. I would've liked those even more than Godzilla, I expect.
