Trivia / Gamera vs. Barugon

• Edited for Syndication: About ten minutes of footage, mostly scenes of expository dialogue between Keisuke, Karen and the defense force were chopped out of the American International TV version, War of the Monsters.
• Fake Nationality: The New Guinean villagers are basically Japanese extras... but painted to look like New Guineans.
  • Hirata's Chinese business partner was played by Kenichi Tani, a Japanese.
• What Could Have Been: Originally the film had a different story and characters than it does now. The film was going to be titled "Gamera vs. Leoman" (a.k.a. Gamera vs. The Icemen) and the villains would have been a group of aliens with ice-based powers who would've invaded Earth by setting off multiple volcanic eruptions across the globe, in hopes of creating another Ice Age. Once Gamera returns to Earth, the aliens are forced to release their monster, the "Ice Giant." Ultimately, the story didn't go far and a few of its elements of ice-based powers were passed down to Barugon, while the ice giant concept was heavily retooled into become what is known today as Daimajin.
