Did You Know?
Trivia | This is the first time that Mothra fought on Godzilla's side since Destroy All Monsters (1968), though only because they both faced the same enemies rather than being allied with each other. Despite the American-made Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) re-imagining the two monsters as supportive allies, Mothra and Godzilla have traditionally been bitter enemies who would only work together by force.

Goofs | The New York cop's mouth and speech are badly mismatched. This is because actor Mick Preston used the F-word repeatedly during filming and was later required to dub over his original dialog with less-offensive language. Viewers can still see him mouthing the F-word in certain shots. See more » |

Crazy Credits | After Godzilla and his son wade off into the sea with a final roar, the title monster's name appears on screen one last time. The ending credits themselves play over various scenes from the movie, including some that were deleted or removed from the finished cut. These include Mothra flying back to her home island, Hedorah the smog monster with some brief city destruction, more lead up to Ozaki making his way too Douglas Gordan, a fight between Kazama and Kumasaka in the news room, a new shot of King Caesar running, and several different shots of Godzilla. The credits fade to black with the sound of the original Godzilla roar signaling the end. See more » |
