Wissenswertes
This was the first giant monster film produced after the death of Toho's special effects director, Eiji Tsuburaya, who passed away in January 1970. The effects were directed by Sadamasa Arikawa who, having been promoted to Director of Special Technique, had already handled most of the special effects since Frankenstein und die Ungeheuer aus dem Meer (1966) with Teriyoshi Nakano as his chief assistant. Both Arikawa and director Ishirô Honda wanted to include a dedication to Tsuburaya in the film but Toho refused. Arikawa was so disgusted by this that he vowed to never work for Toho again. Director Honda likewise decided to retire from filmmaking due to his disappointment with the direction Toho took their special effects films and the dissatisfaction of working for them.

Patzer
The lighted eyes on the monster Gezora went dead halfway through filming of the fx. There was no money left in the FX budget to repair them, and they remain unlighted in certain scenes.

Zitate
Taro Kudo: I'd say that giant octopus is our monster. Maybe what the natives call Gezora isn't a myth. Tell me Doctor, now what are we going to do? Why do you think he let us go?
Dr. Kyoichi Mida: I don't know, I don't know anything at all. All my knowledge of biology and none of it's any use to me at all.

Alternative Versionen
American International's television release version replaces the original score during the end credits with another section of Akira Ifukube's score that was used during the shipboard sequence.

Actually, quite interesting...

When I rented this movie I thought this would be a low budget, rubber monster type, bad acting movie you would see on a late late late show. All of that is true, but the movie plot and situation was kind of interesting.

Yog changes into three different giant size monsters, but Yog is more of a blue mist that takes control of the host. The side story with the space mission is very interesting as well and merges well with the rest of the story. This story also has the cutest oriental woman I have ever seen which kept my attention. But without her, I would still be watching the movie finding out how it turns out.

This movie was a surprise to see and I did enjoy the film very much.
