Anecdotes
When the protagonists arrive on Infant Island, the skeleton of a turtle is seen in the background where it appears move slightly. This is often misunderstood to be an error but it's actually an intentional choice, inspired by the Italian documentary Cette chienne de vie (1962), which showcased the decomposed remains of a turtle that swayed in the wind. Many fans however took it further, pointing out that it appeared to blink suggesting it was indeed a living, albeit disfigured, creature. The creature eventually was nicknamed "Skeleturtle" and developed a cult following. It would make a cameo in a Godzilla comic and Toho themselves would sell merchandise of the creature, cementing its status as an actual kaiju with it's official name being translated to "Mystery Bones of Infant Island".

Gaffes
When the Mothra larva grabs onto Godzilla's tail and Godzilla flings it around, the skin of the Mothra larva cracks. This is because it is being damaged by Godzilla.

Professor Miura: Including us?
Shobijin (Twin Fairy), Shobijin (Twin Fairy): We're very sorry.
Ichiro Sakai: What do we do now?
Professor Miura: It's clear we're not welcome here.
Junko Nakanishi: Please listen to me. I understand why you don't trust us, but even as we speak, many are dying because of Godzilla. Many of them are good people, but even bad people have a right to live. You may call it divine retribution, but all people are equal before God. God plays no favorites. Please, we need your help.
Ichiro Sakai: We too want a world where we can trust one another. But the more people there are, the more difficult it becomes. Nevertheless, we'll never give up. We're working hard to make the world a better place. Please, don't be quick to judge us.

Autres versions
The "Frontier Missile" sequence is the only example of kaiju footage contained in foreign release prints but not in the original cut. This footage slightly alters the arrangement of events of the American and European versions. This footage was filmed at AIP's request and originally excluded from the Japanese cut to keep out the very patriotic American iconage of the scene. It is now featured as bonus material on the Japanese laserdisc.

An absolutely must see for fans of the Godzilla franchise

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows an egg that washes off an island and into the ocean. The egg hatches and shortly after Mothra appears. Godzilla, ever the menacing sorts, decides there's only room for one monster in Tokyo. Will Mothra join Godzilla in his destruction or try to stop him?

This movie is directed by Ishirô Honda (Godzilla, 1954) and stars Akira Takarada (Godzilla, 1954), Yuriko Hoshi (Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster), Hiroshi Koizumi (Mothra) and Kenji Sahara (Godzilla, 1954).

I loved the story setup and the giant Easter egg that eventually becomes Mothra. I'll always enjoy the concept of the little ladies being the spokesman for the tribe and Mothra. Godzilla's emergence was great but his facial expressions in the film had me cracking up. The final battle is entertaining and also pretty funny.

Overall this is a film that's more fun than good but an absolutely must see for fans of the Godzilla franchise. Mothra is a unique and fun characters. It's easy to see why she became a mainstay within the franchise. I'd score this a 6.5/10 and strongly recommend seeing it.
