R E L E A S E  N O T E S

When Hedorah throws some sludge at Godzilla's eye in the
Mt. Fuji scene, it hit's Godzilla right eye, but after
Hedorah gets done laughing, Godzilla's left eye is the
one that is damaged.

A sequel, set in Africa, was planned. However, G-series
producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, who had been hospitalized
during the film's production, was enraged by the film
once he saw it, telling director Yoshimitsu Banno that he
had ruined the Godzilla series. Tanaka immediately
ordered the filming of a more conventional Godzilla movie
(_Chikyu kogeki meirei: Gojira tai Gaigan (1972)_ ). Thus
the "Smog" sequel was never made.

This is the first film in the series since Mothra vs
Godzilla (1964) to have a strong social message.

This is the only movie in which Godzilla demonstrates his
ability to fly by firing atomic breath towards the ground
and propelling himself backwards.
