Anecdotes
The film was a follow-up to a TV movie from early the same year, Tokyo Daijishin Magnitude 8.1 (1980), starring Shin'ichi Chiba, with special effects by Kôichi Kawakita, and also produced by Toho.

Crédits fous
Although the title is at the beginning, all of the credits are at the end of the movie (in the original Japanese version).

Versions alternatives
In all versions of the film, the title is shown early in the film (in the shot of the crater of Mount Mihara), but in the original Japanese version, all of the credits are at the end of the film; after the final freeze-frame of Kayo Matsuo's character (Yuko Kawazu), the film fades out, and a credit roll in white text over a black background is set to the sentimental pop song "Amethyst Sunray" (performed by Hatsumi Shibata), ending with a "The End" ("Owari") credit. In all international versions, the cast credits are placed over the opening footage of Oshima Island (before the title), and the rest of the credits over the aerial montage of Tokyo (right after the film's title), both originally credit-less, and the film ends with the final freeze-frame of Matsuo's character (with "The End" and the Toho copyright superimposed over the shot). "Amethyst Sunray" is omitted altogether.

Oh No, not another earthquake!

How many disaster movies can there be before we get tired of them. Come on, we can see them on the Discovery channel all day long.

I agree with the comment that the first part of this movie is just a soap opera. The Great Predictor's grandson makes a prediction and everybody starts moaning about how he is ruining the family name. The evil mother-in-law convinces the wife to throw him out into the arms of his mistress, whom she wants to meet. Can you believe that? The wife wants to approve the new wife! At the same time the mistress' has someone in love with her that doesn't have a wife, but she sends him packing.

Now, that the soap opera is over, the earthquake appears.

The special effects are really good, but the dubbing is bad. That is why I like subtitled films. The actors are all very experienced and have won many awards, so you will get to see some of Japan's best in an oft-repeated story.

But, the soap-opera story returns with a kitchy ending.
