• There are some deleted scenes from this movie which are listed below. There is a scene of Godzilla fighting Manda. Basically during the raid on Tokyo scene Godzilla grabs Manda off a building and begins waving him back and forth. A scene of Godzilla stumbling into one of the buildings during the attack on Tokyo scene was cut as obviously the actor in the Godzilla suit tripped. The scenes of Gorosaurus attacking Paris and Rodan attacking Moscow ran alittle longer but were trimmed for the final cut.
  
  
• Toho had prepared an English language "international version." When the film was acquired for U.S. distribution by American International Pictures, they followed their standard practice of re-editing the film and turning it over to Titra Sound Services for re-dubbing. This was usually done to improve the vocal quality and acting quality in the English language tracks of their dubbed releases. The U.S. home video release by A.D.V. Films on VHS and DVD uses the original Toho international version.
  
  
• Another deleted scene features the 4-way monster attack (Rodan, Godzilla, Mothra and Manda) on Tokyo. Originally a scene showing the battery guns being deployed from the roofs of the buildings was deleted. Also after this the camera does a wide shot of the abandoned Tokyo. This was pretty cool as it featured the empty city. Sort of like the calm before the storm. But these scenes were cut and in the finished film the monsters just suddenly attack.
  
  
• There are actually two English dubbed versions. The one that was released in the 1960s featured the voice of Hal ("Barney Miller") Linden doing the voice of Katsuo. The version that is in release on home video was made from the "international" English version.
