Anecdotes
Originally, the film wasn't going to include the giant walrus Magma. However, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka insisted that the monster be put into the film and forced director Ishirô Honda to include it despite him being against it.

Gaffes
When Gorath approaches Saturn, the rings are torn from the planet's orbit due to Gorath's gravity. However, the atmosphere should have also been torn away as well.

Citations
News Anchor: If we could come together and cooperate to overcome the danger that threatened us, can't we take this opportunity to work together for all eternity?

Autres versions
The American version eliminates a sequence wherein a giant walrus, known as Magma or Maguma, is released from the arctic ice and threatens the polar construction site before being killed by the military (however a brief shot showing its corpse is still kept in the American edit). Magma was not in the original script and was included at the insistence of producer Tomoyuki Tanaka. The American version re-arranges the loss of the moon as Gorath makes it's approach to Earth. In the Japanese version the Moon is lost at the beginning of the sequence; the American version re-edits this and makes this the final action before Gorath sweeps past the planet.

When Worlds Collide-Japanese Style

This Japanese take on the kind of story first pioneered by "When Worlds Collide" and done less effectively in later years in "Meteor", "Armageddon" etc. has been called Toho's greatest sci-fi movie ever by some. It's certainly a fairly intelligent effort overall, done with top of the line (for its time) FX. I was glad to see it in its original Japanese format, widescreen with subtitles (and with the rather pointless scene involving giant walrus Magma) and found it quite entertaining overall, certainly the equal of "When Worlds Collide" and light years ahead of the American takes on the story that followed. My only quibble was why Gorath was referred to as a "star", when it is clearly too small to be so categorized, and should have been referred to as a runaway planet (was Toho afraid of getting sued for ripping off "When Worlds Collide" if they categorized it as a planet?).

Fans of the wonderful 1960 disaster movie "The Last Voyage" will recognize George Furness, who played Third Officer Osborne in that film, as the UN Secretary-General. Furness was a lawyer living in Japan who had enough acting talent to not only play westerners in Japanese movies, but to get good roles in American movies shot in Japan like "The Last Voyage" too.
