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.
