Trivia:
After the enormous success of the U.S. release of _San daikaiju: Chikyu saidai no kessen (1964)_, some publications ran articles and photographs of this sequel as an upcomeing release under the title "Invasion of Astro-Monster". However, this film was not released in the U.S. until the summer of 1970 under the title "Monster Zero". more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In several shots, the track on which the military vehicles move, along with support beams holding them in place can clearly be seen. In some cases these supports hold the vehicles up so high that their tires don't touch the ground. more
Quotes:
Tetsuo: [both Glenn and Tetsuo pop up out of the water] Well, what are we going to do now?
Glenn: Well, we sure ain't gonna wait for the next ferry. Swim!

A Blast From My Childhood, 16 December 2002
Author: Brian Washington (Sargebri@att.net) from Los Angeles, California

This film was the first Godzilla film that I really remember seeing from beginning to end. I was so taken by it that I forgot to go to the bathroom (I was only five at the time). This film helped to cultivate my love for the kaiju eiga genre. Even though many people have put this film down as being one of the weakest in the Godzilla series, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
