History Film / GameraVsBarugon

* FatalFamilyPhoto: A variant. Keisuke and Onodera find a photo of Kawajiri's wife and son ''after'' the man died from a scorpion stinging him in the leg, though he did [[TemptingFate gush]] about the opal being able to financially help his family right before the scorpion cut his happiness (and life) short.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the previous film and the other Showa films that came after it, Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the Showa-era Gamera films.

* QuicksandSucks: One of the threats Keisuke, Kawajiri and Onodera face along the way to the Valley of Rainbows, with Onodera nearly drowning after he falls in, but the others rescue him. Considering [[FarmerAndTheViper how he repays them once they get to the cave]], it almost seems like the environment itself was trying to do him in.

* AssholeVictim: Onodera, who among other things lets Kawajiri die and attempts to leave Keisuke to die as well.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the previous film and the other showa films that came after it, Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the Showa Gamera films.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The scene where Karen licks the blood off Keisuke's arm after a fist fight with Onodera. From the camera angling some see it as her pleasuring him orally. And possibly another scene later where she's upset, and sitting, and turns to Keisuke, who is standing up. Cue her head being in another suggestive spot.

* GoldFever: Onodera has this so bad, he gets murderous if he has to wait ''a second'' to obtain anything valuable, and is oblivious about Barugon up until he gets eaten by it.

* ImplausibleDeniability: Onodera tells ridiculous lies about not having anything to do with the deaths of those he murders to people. He gets caught almost instantly every time.

* MyCarHatesMe: While attempting to lure Barugon into the lake, the engine of the car that's being used as bait randomly stalls. The protagonists have to turn off the infrared emitter to avoid being crushed by Barugon before they get the lake.

* OddballInTheSeries: It’s the only Gamera film from the Showa era to not have a child protagonist and delves into darker themes.

* TooDumbToLive: What's a better plan, Onodera - wait until the diamond is used to drown Barugon and steal it later through bribing certain people, or ''take a boat up near Barugon and take the diamond and hope the monster won't go after you?''

* LaserGuidedKarma: After letting Kawajiri die from a scorpion sting, trying to trap Keisuke in the Valley of Rainbows ''and'' letting Hirata and his wife be killed during Barugon's battle with Gamera in Osaka, Onodera finally meets his end when he tries to steal the diamond being used to lure Barugon into Lake Biwa; Barugon promptly eats both him and the diamond in one motion.

The second movie in the original Film/{{Gamera}} series, and easily the most adult, ''Gamera vs. Barugon'' was created as an A-list picture by Daei studios after the success of ''Film/GiantMonsterGamera''. It was released in 1966. It stars Kojiro Hongo in his first Gamera film, and it has a music score by Chuji Kinoshita. Originally envisioned as a movie where a race of aliens with freezing technology take over the Earth before Gamera escapes the rocket and returns, the freezing powers were eventually given to the monster Barugon after some rewrites. This film is the most comparable to the Godzilla series, as it is the only film in the Showa era which lacks a child among the cast. It (arguably) also has two of the most realistic human brawls ever seen in a movie. Also unlike the other films in the series, ''Gamera vs. Barugon'' was directed by Shigeo Tanaka, with Noriaki Yuasa helming only the special effects.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the previous film and the other showa films that came after it, Gamera vs. Barugon is easily the most mature of the showa Gamera films.
* DemotedToExtra: Gamera only appears in three scenes throughout the film, and does little to advance the plot until he kills Barugon at the end.

* ImplausibleDeniability: Onoera tells ridiculous lies about not having anything to do with the deaths of those he murders to people. He gets caught almost instantly every time.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Why the plan to reflect Barugon’s rainbow beam back at him ultimately failed. While it did injure him greatly, it didn’t kill him and it made him too wary to use the rainbow beam again.
* KarmicDeath: Onodera. Unfortunately, he also takes the heroes' best means of killing Barugon with him.

* NeutralFemale: Karen. She helps a little, but that's about it.
** Hirata's wife cries and acts upset while Onodera and her husband have a fistfight but doesn't get involved.
