The Showa series contains examples of:[]
- Bad Export for You: Until recently with the release of the whole Showa series by Shout Factory, Most Region 1 Gamera DVD releases contain awful, faded, little to no color Fullscreen 16mm TV prints.
- Dueling Movies: The Godzilla series, of course.
- Name's the Same: Barugon / Baragon from Toho's Frankenstein Conquers the World.
- What Could Have Been: An unfilmed movie by the name of Gamera vs. Garasharp. Garasharp was a massive, cobra-like creature, armed with a sonic rattle and poisonous breath. The story ends with Gamera defeating Garasharp (naturally) and two babies emerging from her body. Just as the military closes in to destroy them, Gamera rescues them and flies them off to a deserted island, because he's the friend to all children, not just human ones. The film was scheduled for a 1972 release, but Daiei went bankrupt before they could start on it.
Examples from the rest of the series:
- What Could Have Been: An anime based on the franchise was planned (rumor was that Cartoon Network was going to sponsor it) but was scrapped after Gamera: The Brave tanked at the box
office in Japan.
- Hey,Its that voice!: The english dub of Gamera Guardians of the Universe was made by ADV so...
- The Gaos can't touch Dr. Nagamine, (not when she has her AT field! Neon Genesis Evangelion)
