Facts about King Kong vs. Godzilla

There were four live octopuses used in the fight sequence with Kong and the natives, as well as a plastic model. Hot air was blown on them to get them to move and after the filming of the scene was finished, most of them were released except for one, which Eiji Tsuburaya had for dinner.

The American submarine captain's voice was dubbed by Les Tremayne, who also was the voice for General Shinzo as well as doing the opening narration.
