- The scene of Baran (aka Varan) flying is deleted from the American version of the film.
- Varan the Unbelieveable (1962) U.S., English dubbed, highly edited with footage replaced with scenes shot in the U.S. and the original score completely removed.
- There is a second version of this movie in Japan. It is an abridged, 2-part version done for TV, around 60 minutes long. It is incomplete, however (there are plenty of spots in the film with a Japanese "Sound Only" title card placed over audio with missing picture). Akira Ifukube's music is mostly different from the original film. This version is available as an extra feature on the DVD in both Japan (Toho Video) and the US (Media Blasters' "Tokyo Shock" label).
- After the original release, there were some scenes cut out of the film in later prints, including scenes with negative references to the Burakumin (the "untouchable" people of Japan), as well as a slight editing mistake (a clapboard zipping off camera when a shot begins). The original print with said cut scenes has been restored for the DVD release in 2005.
