    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Unlike the other American actors who acted in Toho's science fiction films, Nick Adams had no contempt for his work and expressed genuine interest in the hard work of the special effects staff and befriended much of the cast.
    • Goofs
      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.
    • Quotes

      Controller of Planet X: [about the victory over King Ghidorah, while Godzilla is outside dancing] A happy moment.

    • Alternate versions
      In the Japanese version, the cure promised by the aliens is specifically for all forms of cancer. However, in the American version the cure is for all diseases not just cancer.
    • Connections
      Edited from Rodan, tuntematon vihollinen (1956)

    Banzai, Nick Adams!
    The other day I found this movie at a nearby video shop by chance. Contrary to my anticipation, I found this movie quite fun. The movie I saw was in Japanese and Nick Adams' voice was dubbed, but his acting was pretty good, though he pulled up his pants a lot.

    This brought me good memories of Mr. Adams. As a kid about ten years old at that time, my father (who was the USA representative for Toho and manager of the Toho La Brea Theatre) and I went to the LA airport to see him off. He was going to Japan to take this movie. He was very friendly and relaxed, he was with his wife and his little boy, he looked very happy and energetic. I remember asking him, Mr. Adams, how are fight scenes taken in movies? He replied with a nice big smile and with a fighting gesture, we really fight and punch! Gasshou! meaning I join my palms together for Mr. Adams and for my late father.
