* CommonKnowledge: It is often asserted that Gigan is the first monster to make Godzilla bleed, and while this would certainly seem to be the case given how much blood he makes Godzilla shed, that honour actually goes to Hedorah in ''Film/GodzillaVsHedorah'', as Godzilla begins bleeding from the top of his head after headbutting Hedorah away during their final battle.

* NarmCharm: Like many Showa-era Godzilla movies, this one is most definitely not a cinematic masterpiece but it has its ''moments''. Fans really seemed to like Gigan himself, and the climatic battle (when its not using StockFootage) has some memorable moments such as Gigan being the first villain to make Godzilla bleed and Anguirus's FriendshipMoment.

** The Godzilla suit, [=SoshingekiGoji=] (which had been made in 1968 for ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' and used in subsequent films up to this one), was in such bad shape that it was visibly falling apart.
** King Ghidorah's suit, being the only one made during the Showa era and having already been in three previous films, was in pretty bad shape as well. In all of its non-stock footage scenes it's very still most of the time with only some slow head movement to prevent it from falling apart during filming.

apart - pieces can even be seen flying off in some scenes!

* ContestedSequel: Not as divisive as other Showa Era films as it’s often agreed to be one of the lesser entries, but depending on the fan this film is either a bland espionage film with an overuse of StockFootage and really, ''really'' bad effects, or a good throwback to the 60’s Showa Godzilla films with a well rounded human cast and great monster fights and cinematography that’s not stock footage. This film is also seen as the point where the Showa era began to regain some steam, as its quality began gradually improving through the next few entries in the franchise.

As discussed under EnsembleDarkhorse below, one thing everyone seems to agree on is that Gigan is a pretty awesome addition to the monster cast.

* CompleteMonster: The titular monster, Ghidorah's [[TheDragon Dragon]] Gigan, was nearly as vicious as his compatriot, burning most of Tokyo to the ground, laughing all the while. What truly made Gigan stand out, however, was his sadistic love of hurting others. During his and Ghidorah's battle with Godzilla and Anguirus, Gigan repeatedly opted to go for torture rather than finishing an opponent off, dragging the other monsters in close and using his buzzsaw to carve pieces off of them, and showing a distinct preference for targeting those who could not fight back, attacking a severely wounded Godzilla while he lay bleeding on the ground, and later, in ''Film/GodzillaVsMegalon'', teaming with Megalon to deliver a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Jet Jaguar. Prone to [[DirtyCoward abandoning his allies]] as soon as the going gets tough, and hating a fair fight, Gigan was Toho's reigning king of KickThemWhileTheyAreDown.

* WhatAnIdiot: The Nebulans are particularly guilty of this several times throughout.
** They choose to mimic humans who have been dead for a year (and thus the memory of them is still fresh) which of course makes the heroes suspicious of them.
** Instead of asking Gengo for his home address, they decide to give him cigarettes with tracking devices in them instead.
** Their all-important monster control devices are a couple of easy to steal reel tapes.
** Shooting an obvious cartoon drawing of the heroes, not bothering to check if there was anything explosive behind said drawing. In this case however, they have the excuse of having poor eyesight due to being alien cockroaches.
