Trivia / Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds

• Creator Backlash: When the president of Toei saw the movie for the first time, he remarked that it was "an embarrassment."
• Follow the Leader: Produced in direct response to a screening of Jaws that was arranged at Toei Studios, it has obvious plot similarities and a few copied scenes and shots.
• What Could Have Been: Originally Toei was planning to collaborate with the British studio Amicus Productions on a monster movie called Kongorilla, perhaps in response to rival studio Toho attempting to do the same with Hammer on the also ultimately unmade Nessie.
