Trivia

Picture of the 1970 World's Fair
  • Most of the non-kaiju scenes in Gamera vs. Jiger were filmed at the 1970 World's Fair, also called Expo 70, held in Osaka, Japan. In real life the event was held from March 15 to September 13, 1970. A "Godzilla vs. Gamera" stage show was also held during this event in March.
  • Gamera vs. Jiger was released theatrically in Japan on a double bill with the 1970 film Transparent Swordsman (透明剣士,   Tōmeikenshi).
  • This film introduced Jiger, the first female kaiju in the Gamera series. (Gyaos was later portrayed as being able to switch between being male and female in the Heisei trilogy, but was referred to as male in the Showa series).
