Facts about
With this film, the name of Mothra's island changes from "Beiru" to "Infant Island".
In the scene towards the end, where Godzilla's head pops up behind the mountain (behind the policeman), the Godzilla "theme" music begins to play. Composer Akira Ifukube felt that music wasn't needed in that scene because, as he said, "Godzilla's appearance is already impressive enough." However, director Ishirô Honda decided to include the music cue anyway. Upon the first screening, when the scene appears with the music, it is said that Ifukube gave Honda a very "disapproving" look. However, it was the only moment in their professional careers together that they ever had a disagreement.
When the sequence of Godzilla being firebombed was being shot, during one of the takes the flaming liquid splashed up onto Godzilla's head. The fuel quickly burned away and the flames went out. Inside the suit, performer Haruo Nakajima was unaware of the accident, since the head of the suit is well above Nakajima's own head. Godzilla's head aflame became an unplanned bonus to the effects shot and it was included in the final cut.
