Production
Every kaiju fought by Gamera in the Showa series appears in this film, by way of stock footage. Subtitles are used to identify each creature (Gyaos, Zigra, Viras, Jiger, Guiron and Barugon) as he fights them. The stock footage takes up about one-third of the film, and only about two minutes' worth of new Gamera footage is included. As Gamera originally fought Guiron on an alien planet (Terra), a plot device was created that allowed Gamera to travel to his enemies' locations.
The movie makes use of pop-culture references, such as an alien spaceship that is reminiscent of an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars and the destruction of a billboard advertising a Godzilla film.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
