Did You Know?
| Trivia | Interestingly, during Expo 70 there was a stage show featuring Gamera alongside his box office rival Godzilla. This turned out to be the closest the two ever got to having the long awaited encounter between each other. No footage, except for a few seconds of Godzilla walking with Gyaos, even exist.

| Goofs | While sailing down Gamera's throat, the know-it-all kid mistakenly refers to the 'uvula' as 'tonsils'. See more » |
