Trivialidades:

During the big 4 monster attack on Tokyo (by Godzilla, Rodan, Manda and Mothra) there was a few minutes of footage shot of Godzilla and Manda fighting. It was later decided that it was out of character for the monsters to start fighting, as they were under Kilaak control. The scene was immediately scrapped. It has been rumored that the scene was shot on the "spur of the moment," that the fx people were having a bit of fun (having Manda attack Godzilla), and Tsubarya just let the cameras roll during this. Planned or not, footage of this still exists and had been shown many times at fan conventions.

Errores:

Boquete en la Historia: The Kilaaks exist in a temperature of at least 7,000 degrees. But several humans captured by the Kilaaks from Monsterland are in both Kilaak bases on Earth and the Moon. They should have been incinerated.

Citas:

Major Tada: I didn't think Tokyo would escape this terror, but Rodan, Godzilla and Manda are all here at the same time.
Enraged Soldier: That's correct. New York, London, Moscow - they were all very unlucky.
Announcer: Emergency! Emergency! Mothra is now in District Number 5.

Superb, grandly entertaining entry.

If you're looking for a real rock 'em sock 'em monster bash, look no further. this one's got them all: Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Ghidora, Gorosaurus, and the rest. The only one that seemed to be missing was King Kong. It's really just an excuse for monsters to stomp around and destroy stuff, but you'll have a great time watching them do it. I like the plot about the aliens in this one, none of the other films did it quite as well, except "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero" did fairly well. I remember watching this one when the sci-fi channel held Godzilla film marathons, and it remains one of my most fondly remembered entries. I love the scene where Akira Kubo (the guy from "Attack of the Mushroom People"!) rips the transmitter earrings out of that lady's ears, and when she looks at her hands, they're covered with blood! The special effects were well done, and I didn't think that the dubbing was all that bad. All in all, no complaints.
