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'.

A Gamera Film With a Twist

This film is pretty much a formula Gamera film that follows the same plot as every other film. A giant monster threatens to destroy a Japanese city and just when things look bleak, in comes Gamera to save the day. However, Gamera usually loses at least one or two battles with his adversary before he finally defeats him. However, the one thing that makes this film different is the fact that usually in a Gamera film, Gamera is the one who saves any children that are in trouble, but in this film it is up to two young boys (one Japanese and one Caucasian) to save him from a parasite that was injected into his body. Even with this plot twist, this is still the typical Gamera film. But as I have said in my other commentaries about films in the Gamera series, these films are pretty much a way to introduce children to the world of kaiju eiga.
