Gamera vs. Jiger (ガメラ対大魔獣ジャイガー, Gamera tai Daimajū Jaigā, lit.'Gamera vs. Giant Devil Beast Jiger')[a] is a 1970 Japanese kaiju film directed by Noriaki Yuasa, written by Niisan Takahashi, and produced by Daiei Film. It is the sixth entry in the Gamera film series, following Gamera vs. Guiron, which was released one year prior. Gamera vs. Jiger stars Tsutomu Takakuwa, Kelly Burris, Katherine Murphy, and Kon Ohmura, and features the fictional giant flying turtle monster Gamera.
