Trivia

  • It is a common misconception that Gamera vs. Garasharp is a condensed version of a scrapped Gamera film and not an original short. According to the short's supervisor Noriaki Yuasa, "The creator of the film announced that it was the un-produced Gamera movie. But Garasharp is a character which was made specifically for the bonus tr[a]ck of the LD set."[1] Had Daiei not gone bankrupt in 1971, Gamera's next opponent was intended to be a serpent, but it was a two-headed beast codenamed W.
