Trivia

In the original script, the final battle was supposed to take place entirely in Tôkyô (which would be devastated by the end of the film), but Tôhô deemed this too expensive, so the entire battle was placed in the more cost-effective countryside near the city. See more »

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: At about 45 minutes into the film, Titanosaurus is being bombarded by the air force. The electrical wiring and the pyrotechnic explosives and clearly visible along both sides of his neck. See more »
