1* CreatorKiller: Creator/{{Daiei}} was facing serious financial troubles at the time, and ''Gamera vs. Zigra'' was the last film they released before the company declared bankruptcy and dissolved three months later, and its assets were acquired by Tokuma Shoten.
2* FranchiseKiller: Declining ticket sales led to Daiei declaring bankruptcy only a few months after this film released, causing a sequel (WorkingTitle ''Gamera vs. the Two-Headed Monster W'') to be scrapped before production started. It would take nine years for the franchise to see the light of day again with ''Film/GameraSuperMonster'', and even then only as a NoBudget ClipShow that put the series on ice for another fifteen years.
3* DuelingMovies: With ''Film/GodzillaVsHedorah'' as the two films came out just one week apart, and both have very similar themes of being anti-pollution and the effects it has on ocean life (in both cases being RippedFromTheHeadlines, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_Japan#Environment_deterioration_in_the_1960s as there were numerous large-scale environmental disasters in Japan around the time]] due to its rapid post-war industrialization).
