Movie Trivia:
- This is billed as Godzilla's 50th Anniversary Commemoration Project.
-
This is the last film in the third movie series (the "Millennium Series"), which started in 1999 (with Gojira ni-sen mireniamu (1999)). Toho also widely reported that this would be the last Godzilla film for at least a decade (because of the weak box office performances of the previous two films).
-
Executive Producer Shogo Tomiyama decided to extend the film's production schedule beyond the regular time allowed by Toho for Godzilla films, so that the film will be finished before the general release date of 11 December. As a result, this will be the only Godzilla film (as of 2004) that will not have a sneak preview at the Tokyo International Film Festival, which has shown all Godzilla movies every year since _Gojira tai Kingu Gidorā (1991)_, a month before their general releases.
-
For the first time ever in a Tōhō-produced Godzilla film, there is an actual location shoot in the USA, mostly in New York City, thanks to Zazou Productions, a Japanese media company based there. However, principal scenes with the policeman and the pimp were shot in Sydney, Australia. Actual NYC sequences were shot at an undisclosed location. Scenes that are supposed to take place in Arizona, however, were shot in Broken Hill, another part of Australia.

Whereas regular monsters Mothra and King Ghidorah (this time as Kaisā-Gidorā) appear once again, this film marks the long-awaited return of Toho Monsters that have not been seen in decades, including Angirasu (last seen in Gojira tai Mekagojira (1974)), Radon (last seen in Gojira VS Mekagojira (1993)), and Gigan (not seen since Gojira tai Megaro (1973)). Kumonga (Spiga) and Manda were last seen in Kaijū sōshingeki (1968), and Kamakiras (Gimantis) and Godzilla's son Minira were last seen in Gojira-Minira-Gabara: Oru kaijū daishingeki (1969). There are also returns from monsters not seen since their first appearances, such as Ebirā (from Gojira, Ebirā, Mosura: Nankai no daiketto (1966), not counting his stock-footage appearance in Gojira-Minira-Gabara: Oru kaijū daishingeki (1969)!), Hedorah (from _Gojira tai Hedora (1971)_ ) and King Shisā (from Gojira tai Mekagojira (1974)).
