Trivia
The ending was inspired by Eugène Lourié's daughter who cried at the end of the The Giant Behemoth when the monster was killed. When this happened, he decided to let both monsters live. See more »Goofs

Radio Reporter: We prayed for a miracle. Maybe our prayers have been answered. A great city, overwhelmed, exhausted, lies helpless under the immeasurable power and ferocity of this towering apparition from before the dawn of history. Yet, as disdaining the pygmies under her feet, she turns back! Turns with her young, leaving the prostrate city, leaving the haunts of man, and leaving man himself to ponder the proud boast that he alone is lord of all creation.See more »
