Wissenswertes
The film is noted for beginning the gradual transition of Godzilla's character away from his villainous roots, an idea from producer Tomoyuki Tanaka. While screenwriter Shin'ichi Sekizawa and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya aided this change by humanizing the monsters and adding more comedy to their antics, director Ishirô Honda opposed it. He was hesitant with the famous monster talk scene but was unable to dispute the studio mandates from Toho. Nevertheless, Honda was troubled by the direction Toho was forcing the series to take, mentioning, "I am concerned that we are drifting toward taking the easy route, believing a silly story line is OK, though it might be mocked by adults simply because the film is made for children. Kids will not tolerate nonsense." Tanaka would come to regret his decision, which he described as a mistake.

Patzer
When the assassins' 1960 Mercedes 220 S is crushed by the landslide, it changes to a 1963 Toyopet Tiara for the shot of Malmess extracting himself from the wreck.

Zitate
[as Mothra converses with Godzilla and Rodan]
Naoko Shindo: Mothra's talking to them. What do you think she's saying?
Detective Shindo: How would I know? I don't speak monster!
[Everyone turns to the fairies]
Professor Miura: What's she saying?
Shobijin, Shobijin: She's trying to persuade them, but they're not convinced. "Let's stop fighting each other. Let's join forces and protect the Earth from King Ghidorah."
Naoko Shindo: Do Godzilla and Rodan agree?
Shobijin, Shobijin: No, they say they don't care. They say it's none of their business.
Professor Miura: Damn them!
Detective Shindo: Those bastards!
Shobijin, Shobijin: Godzilla's saying, "We have no reason to help humans. Humans are always bullying us." Rodan says he agrees.

Alternative Versionen
In the Japanese version, Shindo fires back at Malmess and his thugs in Princess Salno's hotel room. However, the American version deletes Shindo's return of fire.

"People of Earth, I call your attention to the ever-expanding universe..."

One of the best Godzilla sequels. A fun monster rally that introduces the title monster, King Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon from space. There's a lot of silliness in this involving a Martian princess and the two singing fairy twins from the last two Mothra movies. They can communicate with the monsters. They play a big part in the film, convincing Godzilla and Rodan to join forces with Mothra and save Earth from Ghidorah. This would mark Godzilla's official turn to hero for future sequels. The special effects are a lot of fun. If you see the American version you'll get lots of amusing dubbing. As with most of these Godzilla movies, there's a lot of time before any monsters show up. I haven't seen one of the sequels yet that couldn't have benefited from losing 10 or 15 minutes of people standing around talking. At least with the American versions the most boring segments have some cheesy entertainment value from the silly dubbed voices. Anyway, it's all harmless fun with nice visuals and ideas. The selling point, of course, is when Godzilla & co. do their thing. The monster battles are awesome. The rock fight between Godzilla and Rodan is especially goofy. The climactic battle has Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra versus King Ghidorah -- what's not to love about that?
