Trivia
This film is considered the last entry in the Golden Age of Toho's kaiju films, and meant to be the last film of the Godzilla series. However, it was successful enough that it was decided to continue the series, albeit as part of a film campaign called the Toho Champion Festival, a seasonal matinee that specifically targeted children. This meant that subsequent films would have to reduced their budgets and staff since the Godzilla films were just too expensive to continue making in their original manner. For example, this film and the ones prior had two or more large groups of crew members that divided the work on the character drama and special effects sequences. Case in point: cinematographer Taiichi Kankura shot the live action character drama directed by Ishirô Honda, while different cinematographers, Yôichi Manoda and Sokei Tomioka, shot the monster sequences directed by Sadamasa Arikawa. Subsequent films reduced this to a singular crew that had to manage all of those aspects at once.

Errores
When the news reporter in the film announces that Baragon is destroying Paris, France, it is actually Gorosaurus. The Baragon suit was loaned out to Tsubaraya Productions for use on one of their TV series and was not returned in time for filming.

Citas
News Reader: The major cities of the world are being destroyed, one-by-one by the monsters: Moscow by Rodan, Peking by Mothra, London by Manda, Paris by Baragon. And, here's a special news bulletin. Godzilla is now in New York City. The city is being invaded by Godzilla!

Créditos curiosos
In Toho's international version of the film, its English-language credits list special effects director Sadamasa Arikawa as "Sanemasa Arikawa."

Versiones alternativas
A Toho Video documentary released in the 1980s contained several unused and deleted scenes from this film. The majority of this footage consists of alternate takes of finished scenes, such as the raids on Moscow and Paris by Rodan and Gorosaurus, respectively. Toho also filmed much more footage of the United Nations' defense of Tokyo from the monsters, including a number of scenes of missile launchers being deployed from the roofs of skyscrapers. The most notable unused scene in this feature has Godzilla thrashing Manda against several Tokyo buildings. According to Haruo Nakajima, this was an impromptu act at the end of a take. This was likely removed from the finished film as both monsters were under the Kilaaks' control and should not have been fighting each other.

Monster free-for-all: fun stuff

Toho decided to throw a block party for monsters in Tokyo, and invited every creature they could get to sign on to do the flick. Their three biggest mega stars are featured: the lovable giant fire-breathing lizard Godzilla, the supersonic bird who stirs up hurricane winds, Rodan; and the evil three-headed serpent King Ghidora. Throw in the talents of several other monsters and you have a Battle Royale that's a feast for the eyes.

Aliens want to conquer the Earth. So they use hypnosis chips on both key humans as well as the giant beasts, forcing them to assist in a sinister scheme. The human actors, although intentionally upstaged by their larger co-stars, make for an interesting invasion from within story. The actors really do a good job showing urgency in this battle for Earth, (in spite of the sometimes questionable dubbing job). The action moves fast and furious, leading to the inevitable climactic monster showdown.

The film incorporates the monster back stories as much as possible; considering how many creatures get in the act, that's quite an accomplishment. It's fun to see them all together; and they put on several good destruction and battle scenes. The TV reporter doing a sports play-by-play in the decisive battle is a great touch, giving us great lines such as, "Listen to the monsters, with their cries of horror and sudden death!"

Fun stuff for Japanese monster movie fans or anyone who likes a good, campy, action filled flick.
