Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Ishirô Honda intended the movie to have a somber ending, but was forced by Toho to add the more cheerful final sequence in which Ichiro goes to school with the children. When the movie was re-released on home video during the 80s, Honda removed this scene, so the movie ends with Ichiro's mother crying due to not being able to spend more time with her son.

| Goofs | When the monster Gabara is flung into the air and flips over, the effect was done by rotating the entire camera, thus the clouds and the background are spinning together with him. See more » |

Minira:
Oh, it's you. Ichiro Miki: What are you doing? Minira: Nothing, I have no friends. Ichiro Miki: Then you're just like me. Minira: Why did you come back? Ichiro Miki: You said you'd help me climb up on Godzilla's back. Minira: Oh, right. I wonder where he is now? Ichiro Miki: You're not with him all the time? Minira: No, he gets mad. Ichiro Miki: Why? Minira: Godzilla says I have to learn to fight my own battles. Ichiro Miki: He's tough on you, huh? See more » |
