* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Plans on rebooting Gamera had been around since at least the start of the [=1990s=]. Earlier drafts had many of the elements seen in the final film, such as Gamera being from an ancient civilization and bonding to a human, but other facets did change over the revisions and new crews over the years. Some of these early plot ideas would be reworked into ''Film/GameraTheBrave''.
** Originally both Gamera and Gyaos started out small and grew over the course of the film. Gyaos escapes into a research station whilst flightless and growing, killing all of the staff. Gamera's egg meanwhile is found within the mummified remains of an ancient Gamera.
** Their was also a Cold War metaphor as Gyaos was originally a weapon made by a rival civilization as a living weapon of mass destruction.
** The protagonist was originally a young boy and his friends, in a clear homage to the Showa era. There was to be a scene of them constructing a model city out of boxes and having the infant, tortoise sized Gamera stomp around in it whilst shooting a movie as a nod to the original film.
** The mental bond between Gamera and the child lead was originally entirely telepathic and shown in dreams, rather than the magatama necklace and link.

Corrected the title. Removed "What could have been" as it was always going to be Gamera and Gyaos. Barugon was never in consideration for this film in any of its script incarnations (even when it was going to be an hour-long short)


* ChannelHop: While the previous films were distributed by Daiei themselves, Creator/{{Toho}} (who produced the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise) took over the distribution rights for ''Guardians of the Universe'' as well as the later Heisei series films.

* DuelingDubs: Britain got a very different dub of the film, with a bitchin' techno soundtrack to boot. You can hear a snippet of it [[http://youtu.be/kr0Zy8Z2vT8?t=1m45s here.]]

* HeyItsThatGuy: The captain of the plutonium tanker is played by [[Film/SonOfGodzilla Akira Kubo]], and the captain of the other ship is played by [[Film/GameraVsBarugon Kojiro Hongo]]. Not only that, but Shinobu Nakayama, who plays Nagamine, had a small role two years earlier in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, although it was more of an appear-in-one-or-two-scenes-and-be-forgotten-about role.
* HeyItsThatVoice: In the ADV English Dub, Nagamine has the same voice as [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka]], and one of her colleagues has the same voice as [[Creator/SpikeSpencer Shinji]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[Film/GameraVsBarugon Barugon]] was considered by the film makers to be Gamera's opponent in this film before Gyaos was ultimately chosen.
