    • Goofs
      When Yonggary cuts the military Jeep in two with its horn's laser beam while it is driving down the road, a smaller support wheel used to support the front half of the Jeep is clearly visible.

      Soldier: You got here a bit too late, sir. They're going to hit Yongary any minute. They'll be using guided missiles. You better go. They're going to hit Yongary any minute. They'll be using guided missiles. You better go.

    • Alternate versions
      The U.S. version of the film has had four slightly different title/end sequences. 1. The Region 1 MGM widescreen DVD had no titles on the film print. MGM did their best to match the previous 1960s version font and style. 2. The public domain DVD released by St. Clair Vision features the original title sequence and has the wording of "American international Television Presents" in small lettering above the title. 3. The public domain DVD released by Alpha Video also has the original 1960s title sequence; however, the AIP wording of "American international Television Presents" is not present on their print. It just shows the title of the film. 4. The end credits sequence is both the same for the Alpha Video and St. Clair Vision DVD versions. The MGM DVD version is slightly different.

    If You Thought Japanese Monster Movies Were Bad
    Cheapo Korean GODZILLA rip-off. Yonggary has a nose that glows when excited, likes to dance to rock 'n' roll, and is vulnerable to itching powder. Going Godzilla one better, Yonggary breathes fire AND shoots lasers from his nose. An allegedly cute eight year old boy befriends him; you keep hoping a building will fall on the boy or he'll get run over by a tank or be trampled by the mobs fleeing in terror to shut him up. The weirdest sequence occurs early in the movie: on his wedding night, just when his new bride is getting amorous, an astronaut is summoned on a secret mission; the next scene you see, he's blasting off into space in an enormous phallic rocket ship.
