What's left behind the scenes

This is the last film in the Showa series of Godzilla films, receiving positive feedback from fans.
This is the ninth film featuring Godzilla, the fifth featuring Mothra, the fourth featuring Rodan, and the third to feature King Ghidorah and the second to feature Anguirus, Varan, Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus, Minilla, and Kumonga.
The film was initially planned to be titled "All Monsters Attack Directive." The original script featured Godzilla, Mothra larva, King Ghidorah, Rodan, Baragon from "Frankenstein vs. Baragon" (1965), Varan from "Varan the Unseen" (1958), Kumonga from "Son of Godzilla" (1967), Manda from "Atragon" (1963), Ebirah from "Ebirah, Horror of the Deep" (1966), and the giant walrus Maguma from "Horahora" (1962). According to the script, Maguma was to guard Kilaak's base alongside Baragon. Ebirah and Maguma were removed from the final script. Three more monsters were also added – Anguirus from "Godzilla Raids Again" (1955), Minilla from "Son of Godzilla" (1967), and Gorosaurus from "King Kong Escapes" (1967). Baragon’s role was also reduced in importance. In the final script, he was supposed to attack Paris, but during the filming of the Paris attack scene, Baragon's suit was on set for the "Ultraman" (1966) series and had to be replaced by Gorosaurus.
In 1969, American International Pictures broadcast the film in North America. The version for American broadcast was created by Titan Productions (formerly Titra Studios). The following changes were made: The dialogue was dubbed into English by American actors. The narrator's opening words "The end of the twentieth century" were changed to "The year 1999". The opening credits were moved to the end of the film and changed to white titles on a black background. Cut: Minilla covers his eyes with his front paws when King Ghidorah drops Anguirus. Cut: Baragon and Varan fight against the army. Cut: The battle between Godzilla and Manda in Tokyo. A march composed by Akira Ifukube, which played during the monsters’ invasion of Tokyo, was added as background music to the end credits.
The American version of the film became Toho’s “International Version.” The film, without the removed scenes, dubbed by William Ross’s Tokyo company – Frontier Enterprises, began to be sold abroad in 1968. Later, American International Pictures discovered that the dubbing was standard and passed the film without the removed scenes to Titan Productions for a new dubbing.
During filming, Varan's costume tore. Because of this, the monster was shown relatively little.
The film is set in 1999. In reality, Roland Emmerich's film featuring an 'American Godzilla' destroying New York was released in 1998, just like in this film.
