Trivia

This film was originally produced in 1973 but was not released in the United States until 1976. A small US distributor, Cinema Shares, hoped to ride on the popularity of 'Dino De Laurentiis' 's highly promoted production King Kong. This became especially apparent in the US poster art, which depicted Godzilla and Megalon battling each other on top of the World Trade Center towers. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Godzilla jumps into the water, his appearance changes. This is because this shot is re-used from Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (1966), which wade produced when the old Godzilla suit was still being used. This film marked the debut of the new suit. See more »

Quotes

[last lines]
Inventor Goro Ibuki: [speaking into the Miniature Control Transmitter] Jet Jaguar, lets go now.
[an idle Jet Jaguar nods in response and walks away]
Hiroshi Jinkawa: Oh? What's the matter with him?
Inventor Goro Ibuki: [smiles in fascination] Dunno... I guess he decided his job was done. But still, I reckon he'd do it again, if the need ever rose again.
Hiroshi Jinkawa: Well, let's just hope that it doesn't. We'll warn the scientists to be more careful in the future, and let Seatopia rest in peace.
[Goro nods in agreement]
Rokuro 'Roku-chan' Ibuki: [starts to catch up with Jet Jaguar] Hey! Hey! Jet Jaguar!
